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.

    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
    • Sorry I meant that we are building the EH for a client.
