Hi Scott,

What would "happen" if I had you to the swapover and install this without a tune? Or is it mandatory that this requires a tune to get it up and running

Nothing would go wrong (the ecu will protect itself), but you wouldn't get the gains obviously, and it would be rather laggy, coming on around 4k revs without a tune.

How long has stao had this out? I just got my billet high flow 2 weeks ago off him but he never mentioned it was new? It looks to be the same unless he's changed something I can't see in the pic....

Just released, not sure but I think yours will be the standard billet highflow, slightly smaller and different profiled rear wheel. Slightly smaller wastegate. Still good for almost 280kw on 98, this one just trades perhaps 200 revs of response for another 30kw or so, but I am only guessing at this point till someone tunes it up and leans on it.

Mine actually left the garage tonight, and it seriously needs a good wash and detail. I'm thinking once it gets a decent layer of polish/wax, it won't look so filthy after the rain as the water should slide right off...

So just went to pick up a silicone joiner from the shop, who also are certified garret and holset turbo specialist. And queried the guy about hi flowing my stock m35 turbo, he said a stage 2 would cost me 1650 plus gst which is pretty steep, so does anyone in nz know where to get this done at a better price?

Hopefully get the quote back for the shift kit install tomorrow :)

Give this guy a call https://www.facebook.com/pages/Steve-Murch-Motor-Sport-Engineering/255636937679?fref=nf been told he knows his stuff

^^^what he said. Not necessarily the cheapest around but certainly none better.

Then go to Soichi at ST Hitec for an HKS ecu and a tune!

Indeed +1 for Soichi. Did my fcon and tune!

Forgot about him actually, he is dam good at this stuff. So I'll give him a bell, have already spoken to Soichi about tuning which he's happy to do, but still have to complete supporting mods first,

How's your car going Dale? That fcon harness you sold me is dying to go on haha.

Stage 2... Not very descriptive.

Hard to pass on Hypergear's prices, and results. No other turbo re-builder would be modifying your highflow with 38mm wastegate puck to control the boost creep, custom billet wheels etc, and all for $1250...

I agree Scott. But do like to support my local if I can. For 1250 Aus plus postage I'm already looking at 1650nz to get one here and have the car off the road for the added shipping time and if I need to use warranty, same process.

I'll talk to the guys again about what exactly goes into a "stage 2"

He also mentioned he had done Vq/vg turbos in the past and wanted me to ask the sau guys if the oil lines have restrictors in them not just in the banjo but actual line and if the line runs through the block or simply bolt to it to pick up the feed.

Anybody sure ?

So he is selling you a product and hasn't even researched, not even a little bit, about it's intended application?

Yes there are 3 restrictors, and the oil pressure is twice what an RB runs. I have no idea what core he is trying to build so I can offer no advice on what needs to be done to increase the oil flow. Too much and the seals will leak, not enough and the bearings won't last long.

Just remember, if it fails there is never a warranty on turbos from my experience.

Lol it was literally quoted on the spot, I would be taking the car down for him to look at next time and give him a proper go at it.

Did anyone know that m24n is just a code for the material garret use.... Learn something new everyday

I hope he runs BB chra's, otherwise the oil flow will be insufficient and it will most certainly ruin any bush core. Been there done that a few times. Learn from my mistakes.

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
