unfortunately that is a characteristic of bush bearing turbos.

expect about 1000rpm over the same size ball bearing turbo. I know the pain too well.....the race car runs standard n1 turbos which are big bush bearing ones.

I don't think its 1k more. lol. Possibly 200 revs more to get it spinning, then a faster ramp. It will come on much harder with more top end if tuned right. (with the Sierra wheels anyway.) People under-estimate well built bushed cores, the 360 degree thrust washers make a huge difference.

I have much better response than Craig with his Garrett core, he has a slightly larger turbine on his 3071 and made about 20kw more on petrol.

Deleted the VQ35 Throttle body warmer/coolant loop today. $2 of clamps, quite a bit of swearing- bloody tight some of these places on these cars!

You VQ25dets have the same system? You might find you got your lovely HDI intercooler only to be running air through a 70oC Throttle >_<

Well, I finally bought some engine oil for mine, and am thinking of buying one of those Fumoto sump plug drains to make life even easier again! I've already got an oil filter relocation kit, so that helps!

do it mate, so easy.

changed the oil to castrol edge 0-40, new ryco oil filter & will do the fuel filter change after next 10% eflex fuel mix; just to clean any crap out of the system.

changed the brake kit bolts to 14mm from 12mm, like I should have done at the beginning, and added some squeal brake goo.

thats it for a while, need to regas the A/C and get a wheel align.

In a VQ35 the intake is heated via a coolant circulated around the Plenum, just behind the TB. Basically takes it right out of the main metal coolant lines.

It circulates up into the Plenum via a small rubber hose and then back down the other side behind the motor.

You can see in the pic, companies sell little gadgets to re-route coolant past the TB, but all you really need is time, a bit of brass pipe the right size, and a couple of small clamps.

Edit - the reason its heated is to stop the TB sticking in below freezing climates. So don't do it if you live in the snow. If it never gets that cold where you are, its just making your intake hot...

make sense?

I guess no need since your intake is exhaust heated...

yeh its not that much worse.

i find that its hitting full boost at 4000rpm.. before i was hitting boost on 3400rpm

and that was a stock sized turbo but just ball bearing. so basically immitating stock.

my fans now I think are the same size as craigs(almost) so im kinda happy that its not that much worse.. you just notice it without a tune i guess.

Well I dropped the car off at RVO in dandenong to get the shift kit installed, and to have the line pressure ramped right up "without braking anything" Ive told him I atleast wanna try and get a year out of it so i can save for a full rebuild, or to do the Manual/rear wheel!

I know half of you Sydney boys want it done so I'll be sure to let you know once I get it back tonight!

for people in melbourne, $550 installed.

I think for those sending the valve body down it's $450.(+ whatever shipping cost's)

Ahh that's right...the EMU Trans fix that Cihan mentioned has something to do with upping the line pressure...

doesnt change the fact you will still need a shift kit. for the power your going for though Cihans emanage hack should fix it..

who? the trans joint or Cihan.

Cihan's I think adjusting this through the emanage, he says he thinks he may have found a way to get around it.

RVO Automatics, with a shift kit.. f**ked if I know how else.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time.

      This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins.
