Hell yeah. When i drive this thing it brings a smile to my face which is why i built it. If it doesnt sound the way i want it to then its not right.

Flame on lol

Awww..... 'Yeahhhh, but race carrrr.. :blush: '

Damn i was gona go a HG next year but this thread is converting me.....aarghh right decision i hope.

Do it!!! i am, my car will be off the road for a good year to save the cash to do a turbo upgrade.

going to do it on the cheap side and hope things last and upgrade them as needed.

List so far is:

Ebay special high mount exhaust manifold.

Most likely T67 -25G turbo

44mm TIAL gate or turbosmart 38mm ultra gate

freddy inlet manifold ?? Maybe needed for highmount turbo

deatschwerks 1000cc injectors

E85 fuel as insurance on the stock engine.

everything else i have to run it but might sell the PFC and Z32AFM and buy a ECU with a MAP sensor

freddy plenum or any front facing plenum is not needed for high mount.

stick with 44mm tial gate as its proven already, no 38mm jobs so far but you never know, you may be the first to get it working and holding boost properly with the t67..

i wouldn't go ebay s/s high mount just yet, wait to see how long Jez's manifold lasts before jumping on ebay and getting one.

U dont need an inlet manifold, just shorten/ re-route ur pipes, someones done it on some thead, my shopping list for now:

Z32 -$150 and up

Siemens dekka 60lb top feed high impedance injectors-ebay only round $280, spacers and EV1 plug convertors separate

Turbosmart CompGate 40 - round $330

TD06SL2-20G 10cm kit - $750

Misc plumbing, gaskets, elbows, bits, pipes- $100..

Still comes out ok if u shop around and have a gud fabricator too..

But as of yet i can only sit n wish for another three months till i get my licence back from darlings NSW RTA..

38mm gate doesnt sound big enough? But then I dunno much about ext gate setups except that most r using 44mm so kinda surprised, as even trent said that 40mm is the min he will go

If you are running more boost you don't need it as big.

To whoevers interested, this is very cheap!

I have a tial wastegate for sale.. It is a 44mm and has a 1.1bar spring in it..

$280 posted anywhere in oz.. Cheers

Jez, what did you do with the turbo oil return? Did you use the standard rb25 one or did you use the one supplied in the kando kit?

If you are running more boost you don't need it as big.

Exactly.

So since i have a turbosmart t boost controller already and will be running say 22psi max, u guys r saying a 38mm gate will do?? Running Nistune btw

What is this? Turbo 101?

What about more boost implies a smaller gate will suffice? Remember that more boost will be more flow, more flow will mean it needs a gate that can flow it.

Just because running an undersized gate will overdrive the turbine and hold high boost while sucking at low boost doesnt mean its a good thing. Equally so running a bigger gate doesnt somehow suck at running lower boost, DOES IT? Don't be so feeble minded to think the extra flow will balance out with the added shaft speed needed for the boost, it aint that simple.

My gate cant bypass enough gas to hold steady boost. Oh yeah, duff man.

Get the f**king Tial MVR you tight asses, Im sure a $300 turbosmart progate is not genuine to begin with.

    • I was wondering about this. I'll do some research.
    • Why not? Since mines been built, I've used low boost maybe 5 times.
    • Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.
    • Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
