It is a stagea, they are fat and thirsty. They fuel economy on the highway with good tuning is acceptable but around town 14-15L/100km is pretty typical with aftermarket turbos. Poor tuning and they a shitty on the highway too.

Comparing it to an R33 is a pointless exercise. My R33 makes more power uses less fuel even with hi-flowed injectors.

My injectors were fully cleaned and spray tested. But that doesn't mean that some dirt hasn't found it's way in since installation. With anyluck I should have my maps set off to jez next week so he can see if anything is strange.

agreed..some stageas are up around 1900kg with a cold pack and double sunroofs and they are only 2.5L motor..not sure what people expect..lmao

that 33 owners are trying to compare fuel economy though..throw 3 or 4 100kg people in you car as passengers for a week and get back to me on your daily economy then....

cheers

A big thank you to hypergear for making sure I can't sell my car. 3 people have test driven my car and were unhappy with the turbo response and drivability/boost surge. All 3 have said it feels slower and less aggressive then a standard rb25.

From this entire thread, you've come to this conclusion?

The turbo is by NO MEANS your problem. There's obviously many other issues with your setup, supporting items and the work that has been performed on your car not being carried out correctly. This is why you've needed a whole 43 pages worth of thread to sort issues with your car.

Im surprised you haven't been warned by now for previously rubbishing a company's product (proven to work!) and then blaming them again for not being able to sell your car.

Sort your issues, THEN sell the car.

lol perhaps we also get blamed when your A/C don't work up or car radio stops functioning.

You are putting meanings on names and blame the turbocharger for totally isolated problems.

By reading your post there are many section of the car not sound, even with every one's advise, things are merely done.

I've been offering a free turbo swap to a popular model since last Oct on numerous occasions with what ever methods reasonable, there has always been reasons for not doing so. and there is nothing more I can do.

If there is a genuine believe of a part that is not functioning correctly, a normal person would organizes warranty or replacement with vendor. Nothing happens If you persist or reluctant doing so.

There is no physical reason out side of the turbo itself for it to surge, everything has been removed and checked over 10 times, no leaks, no restrictions, no loose connections just a complete inability for the turbo to do what I was told by stao it would do. If I knew how much trouble this turbo was going to cause i could have just purchased a garret or hks kit and saved alot of money and stuffing around. Am I wrong that I believe a product should do as the supplier says it will. Regardless if the surge, my turbo heat soaks at 16psi, how anyone can say they are running 18-20 psi without killing their motor has got me stumped.

Yeah and you expect me to pull more cash out of my ass to pay for a deposit on a turbo that I dont know to be any better plus I would need a new tune that might not be even better. So basically I could outlay $$$ to a tuner and then be stuck in the same boat that I'm in now. If there was a single thing wrong that any of the 12 people who have looked over my car could find I would understand my turbo not working.

Running rich blown black smoke and misfiring is not the definition of turbo surge.

You've already explained your self the reason for heat soak in your previous posts.

Deposit means you are getting that money back after receiving your current turbocharger, just a way giving your self convenience for not taking the car off road. You are experiencing problems I and others never experienced, if same problem persist on the new charger while others made positive gain then just confirms what ever issue you have has nothing to do with the turbocharger, regardless of the choice of the turbocharger. Then you need to sort out what ever problem there is and repair it before selling the car.

I have a OP6 high flowed turbocharger that produced result of below based from a customer's R34 sent in by the customer:

Numerous other customers are getting similar results based on this high flow profile.

Does that looks reasonable enough to you? If you wish to swap, please act now.

I would bet $100 if you put a garret or any other turbo on your car you will have identical problems.

+1

If you had gotten a garret, you would have been further out of pocket and in the same boat you are in now.

    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )
    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
