Just finalised and paid for my new turbo.

Now the waiting game begins. Should arrive on my doorstep in somewhere between 6 and 8 weeks time.

With paypals shitful exchange rate it ended up being just over $1700 delivered... Being different is expensive. Plus side, that's still about $600 cheaper than *any* local distributor could do for me.

soooooo today ends a week and a bit of fitting parts and getting the car tuned. Ran into plenty of issues along the way (injectors missing o-rings, z32 wiring was backwards, fuel lines backwards).

so after a long week some people to thank.

AM Performance; Custom dump pipe and intake. sounds sexual and clearly makes the power

Willall; If you have a modified car, specifically if it has a RB there is no other place i would take my car. They help troubleshoot the issues along the way and were a massive wealth of knowledge. The car drives fantastically, AFR's are beautifully done, makes great power (alot more than we were expecting). If you have a skyline, make sure you pay them a visit. world class workshop right on your doorstep, dont beleive me go and have a look. Chat to Martin and Gareth and im sure youll agree. Prices are more than reasonable too, youll be over the moon as i am.

Thankfully it's all over with now eh? I'm still laughing about your traction "issues" in all gears "laugh"

270rwkw steve :thumbsup:

Thats precisely what I'm running, could you either pm me ur setup or list it here? I'm keen to know what other gear people are running

Is there much overhead for more power or are u aiming for response? I am... tho it seems the N1's don't breathe as well as 2860-5's so I think thats what I'll put there once I do the bottom end (2 yrs time)

-D

Sure you do.

With my new turbo I'm expecting response similar to a JDM S14 turbo and power getting pretty close to what Josh is currently making.

i dunno eh, these buggers spool from 3k and im getting 275kw/420nm torque at the wheels.... some fine tuning to the boost controller remains as well as cam gears but eh, its more than enough for a non-rambo daily driver like me

I'd like to compare his powercurve to mine. Single vs double with only 100cc engine capacity difference. Would be interesting...

-D

    • List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter? 
    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
