I have a few but none fit down (or up) there properly. I can do it in a minute or two now with my cut down 22mm open end spanner though.

I fitted Whiteline diff bushes in my car today, quite cheap to buy too. It made one hell of a difference too, all the axle tramp is gone and it chirps nicely between gears again, it really tightened the whole back end. My original rear diff bush was totally flogged and was leaking oil.

well on the bright side it will be a good test of banjo sizing.

symptom 1 of too much oil to the turbo will be burning oil at full boost (grey/white smoke)

symptom 2 of too much oil to the turbo is the turbo seal blowing.

If neither of those happen, it's not too large :)

The stock Garrett core will have a restrictor built in so it shouldn't pose too much risk, that said the VQ runs stupidly high oil pressure, I have seen 10 bar on my gauge which I think is it's limit...

I wonder if that had something to do with my issue? Stao told me to drill mine to 4mm.

That seems very large. I did mine with 3mm (think that is what is was, was more like find drill bit to drill after 10 hours under the car changing turbo).

I agree with scott, 2.5mm max.

John from Precision recommended I drill mine to 4mm; so I did. No issues with mine.

Oh joy. Replaced another AFM.

FML.

I popped my new genuine Nissan one after about a month; failed just as the car started.

I bought a WRX one the 2nd time. It seems to be going fine.

It fits about 4 billion different models, so at least they're easy to get.

What number are you on now? I think I've killed 3 now.

Did you buy new last time, should be under warranty surely.

This is the 2nd one thats died in 4 months.

Got a 2nd hand one last time from a wreckers which they gave me 3 months warranty on - failed after 4 months to the day. lol

Today Craig and I, well lets be honest mostly just Craig fitted the plenum spacer, scotty's coolant mod, transgo shift kit and finally got around to doing the fun switch mod.

Improvements?

Shifting is definitely faster and I actually think smoother. I havent driven it alot yet but we stalled it up and even with the fun switch off the boost is coming on much stronger. Will see how it goes after I drive it a bit. Still have a random stalling issue but hopefully will get that sorted soon. The car is getting there :)

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By R34_GT to Turbo · Posted

      Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
