if you return the BOV to stock catch cans are ok if they don't vent to atmosphere

but yeah if you don't care about the possibility of getting defected then yeah get the GT3076

from memory it is about $80 for a power run

f**k thats not bad. My old tuner for my ford was free for dyno runs ;)

Ha this vents to atmo

Bov has two settings for plump back at atmo

Eitherway cars off road in 12days try my luck at the track get used to it.

But yea just wanted to see what i could push through it last it had 3inch dump n shitty 2.5inch cat n shiity cat back, now its full 3.5 ;)

Then as always build the car the way i want it

The guys at Jaustech and also simon at morpowa are great as well, Heard good things about willall but I have never used them personally. I don't like boostworx as shaun doesn't use ANY knock detection when tuning, if you had a failing fuel pump it would almost certainly result in a popped motor.

I've also had 2 tunes from him that detonated as soon as the weather got above 25c and needed timing pulled out as he set the knock map to be identical to the normal fuel map.

He also doesn't do a road test/tune touch up nor does he test the cold start functionality, every tune I had had to go back to get him to fix the cold start.

Yep rang up said same shit id probs have round the 220rwkw

But il find out friday afternoon ;) 60bucks for a dyno run

Then when they can fit me in for a tune see what i can get to, as far as i know iv got all

Mods to push the limits of the turbo.

If this is 220ish itl take me weeks to get used to 250 or 270

The internals will be fine for that. all depends on what rear housing youve got, if its the normal nissan highflow bill does your outta luck for that kind of boost., id suggest going a proper 3076, 20psi will see you too 300. mine makes 270 on 16psi easily enough

.... Thats a bit shit. I figured garret internals ment around the 20psi region

It isn't about what it can 'handle' it is about where it stops making power. You could probably run 28psi no worries, but whether you'd make any more power than 15psi all comes down to what combination of wheels are used.

Hypergear has them making 270kw with the stock rear housing, though they get seriously hot and he smashes 20psi+ through them to do that. Wouldn't be very detonation friendly.

I'd run 16psi through it, maybe a touch more if you need too

I'm doing a safe 20psi with N1's on a 22 yr old bottom end. Replaced the gasket with a cometic mls 1.3mm unit, arp head bolts, smoothed head face etc

20psi is fine. Anything over that u wanna start worrying. I have the smallest turbo kit avail meaning it pumps less air at that PSI than a big one (ie a t51 can produce mammoth power at 7psi but is quite laggy and needs cams)... but psi is a matter for the tune, the gasket, the rings and valve seals. nothin to do with anything else - psi is all relative to the heat and volume of the air going in after all...

Put short I reckon 20 is doable on a stock engine in good nick, provided hes not running anything large (by large i mean anything that a) needs cams changed, b) is a single c) is bigger than a 2860-7 equivalent. Once you go over 350kw you're getting into the danger zone. I'd be happy if I got 300kw but really, the feel and response of the car is more important to me than any digits on a dyno chart

It isn't the psi that kills motors, hell it is hardly ever even the raw torque that kills them, theres a few blokes running over 400kw on stock engines, it is all down to heat and avoiding detonation, the torque limit for stock pistons is pretty damn high, they will withstand 400kw for quite some time if you keep temps under control and have absolutely zero detonation.

All in the tune imo.

Have the same high-flow 3076 internals from last years SAU dyno-day and pulled 274.7kw on 15psi (smaller rear housing), 220+ this year's SAU dyno-day on stock 7-8psi boost without a decent tune - reason for decrease was engine 're-build' as stock bottom end wasn't happy when past 18psi on a cold-chilly morning and thus replaced with forged internals. Therefore would agree that 16psi is a safe place to start with 'upper' limit.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
