How many litres did you fill it up with? I'm guessing around 50 litres, in which case that's pretty normal economy for a Skyline. And if it hasn't been done, changing the oxygen sensor can help your fuel economy. But I wouldn't be bother if you net around 400km from 50 litres.

A light will come on when the needle is near the E and you'll still have 20km or so left. It's a 60 litre tank.

When i filled it up it was on the 2nd last bar, i filled it up all the way with 100 octane which costed me $65, i think i got around 35 litres before it wouldnt go anymore, it was $1.65 per litre and i put $65 in, so whatever that adds up to is how much i filled it up before it wouldnt go anymore.

My sender is acting funny also.

Haven't bothered to clean it, as long I get at least 400km out of the tank s'all good.

I've managed bit over 500 on a tank before fillin it up today.

Your fuel economy is fine for an N/A 2.5 6 cylinder of that age. If you used 39 litres and got 350km, that's around 11L/100km.

I don't think your fuel sender is terribly inaccurate either. If you assume that half a tank is 30 litres and you were on the next bar, 39 litres isn't a stretch. There's still a good 7-8 litres left after the needle touches the last line.

I wouldn't worry about running out of fuel until your fuel light comes on. It's a bit past the last line on the gauge, just before the needle touches E.

OP6 vs 21U housing - do they share the same bolt pattern and distance from flange to firewall? Thinking of buying a blown 34 turbo to highflow to net an extra ~20hp headroom.

Same bolt pattern, not sure about distance, but it doesn't matter, cause OP6 has been fitted many times without issue. If you're going through HG just give him a 2IU housing and get an SS1PU.

Might pick up some injectors tonight.

If so, that's pretty much everything for first round of mods! Will just need to install all the parts + tune. Yayerr. :D.

Although still deciding whether I have enough cash moniez to also grab aem afr/boost gauge.

Doesn't the SS1PU push the exhaust back even further, or has Tao fixed that? Have you had any long-term issues with yours?

The SS1PU pushes it back further because it's a new turbine housing, not just a high flow of the stock housing. I've had no clearance issues issues, there was plenty of room for my exhaust...still is. Air con drip hose (?) was slightly touching the dump pipe, but I tied it back and it doesn't contact anymore.

Will do a detailed post in the HG thread later today to kill some myths, as I've seen a bit of garbage posted in there lately.

Yeh that would help a lot, there are so many conflicting statements made about that turbo.

Post up your setup+results to go with it

just went to look at a new GTi.

I could not believe how bad the service at the dealer was.

avoided answering questions. fairly simple ones.

ME: when the performance pack is coming out,

THEM: OH GTI's are very popular you will need to put a deposit down to get anything.

ME: what is the lead time if I want XYZ

THEM: Oh you should be happy with any we can offer you as they are very popular.

SO I had looked on their site and they have some optional wheels that I liked more Lighter and wider.

ME: How much are the wheels I saw on the VW site.

THEM, oh I couldn't option them, the normal ones are too popular, you could get them from the spare parts department later if you wanted but we could get you some cheap tyres to put on them!

ME: How much is the sunroof on one

THEM: the GTI is a very good buy as they now have capped priced service.(!!!)

ME oh ok how much is the capped price service

THEM, OH we have not set the price yet but is is sure to ber very cheap. I can tell you the price of the Series6 GTi but it won't be the same.

so frustrating.

    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
    • The stock manifold is "mostly" divided. The divider actually has a notch cut out of it where it would meet the divider on a twin scroll housing. I have no idea why. But whatever the reason, it would cause some cross talk when used with a twin scroll housing. People do put twin scroll housings onto that manifold. But I'm of the opinion that proper twin scroll internal gating is...not really possible at this scale. You'd be throwing good effort (ie $$) after bad, when you really should be doing something else. Notwithstanding that.... I am not sure what the idea that you are floating has to do with the difference in comp cover position caused by the highflow using a shorter length core than the stock Hitachi one. Can you clarify what you meant?
