I have read a few threads but most realize what a waste of time it is and find better things to do like attach a big single or go to the pub..

i dont think anyones saying dont do it, I'm sure we would all love to see results no matter how bad they may be..

If you got nothing better to do then knock yourself out but while your saying it wont cost anything your talking of building a stroker 3lt, Im pretty sure that will cost something and the most power i think you would make is a laggy 500-600hp at the absolute max if the turbos dont blow up first which most people think they will.. thats alot of f**kin around for the result when you could simply buy a Big single like mafia said which is proven to make over 500hp on a stock 2.5, you could have it up and running in a weekend if your good unlike this monster of a project which will take you so long that Im betting you give up on it before it ever gets finished because you realize how much effort it takes just to be lame..Im sure over the next few months we will get excuses like my missus had a baby and I smashed the car and I dropped a turbo on my babies head blah blah blah it will never happen..

Anyway GL..I eagerly anticipate your results ;)

If it sucks it sucks. I'll only be mildly disappointed if it does. I was kind of thinking 10 to 12 psi each at about 4000 to 4500. Haha... I just asked the missus " What happens if I do this twin turbo setup and it sucks arse"? She says straight up in a no nonsense tone "Buy a bigger turbo". :thumbsup: Hey why do people think that a less stressed turbo is more likely to blow?

EDIT: No parts yet. :angry:

Ok blokes. Line up your I told ya so's. :blush: The twin setup is still going ahead but not with the stock turbo's. After consideration I've decided to use better quality turbo's. Bearing in mind that it will be on the rb25 first then swapping to a relatively stock rb25/30 (7000 rpm max) what are your suggestions for turbo choice? I'll buy new turbo's etc and as this will cost more I'd rather have it work the first time. It should be more suitable for the 25/30 than the 25. Also I have a couple of T3 flanges for the manifold so take that into consideration. Lemme have it :thanks:

It doesn't have to be twins. Just seemed like a good idea cos the stock turbo's are so cheap and I can put it together for stuff all. Also I have the head flange and 2 T3 flanges paid for and arriving soon. I could always suck it up and eat my words and "look like a cock" but like I said its not hard to sort out and I already have most of the bits on the way or at work. I dont care about being different. Read my second sentence again.

Well I have 2 turbo's in the shed. Its just a matter of putting it all together when the flanges arrive. The reason I kinda shied away from the nissan ones is cos they're so old that the chra's will be rooted.

EDIT: The money is basically spent. Only gotta sort out some intake piping.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
