Hi guys To cut the story short, I got told the R32 GTR I bought had Nismo turbo's, so had some work done thinking they were steel wheel turbo's.

Had a bit of work done at the shop.. Power FC, boost controller, cam gears, injectors, pump, 302 awkw @ 19psi. 2 weeks later.. Big Bang under boost... white smoke etc... and I found out they ended up being the stock r32 gtr ceramic ones. :\ Not happy as you can imagine...

Just had some brand new 2860 -5's Garrett's fitted up over the last week $, and was wondering does it need to be completely re-mapped again? or just a quick re-map on the dyno. Or Is it safe to even drive or give it some stick? Appreciate your advice. Cheers

Of course, as the amount of air ingested will change drastically across the rev range not to mention there would be less exhaust restriction to dial in more timing.

In saying that, safe to drive provided you don't hit +ve manifold pressure.

.7 bar is the lowest out of the 4 boost settings on the controller that the tuners set up. Sounds like I'll just put it on that and baby it back to them.

Still have standard AFMs so prob make still around the 300ish. But if I get some z32/nismos I've read up these -5s can do 340+ awkw? 19-20psi would be the most I'd run 

 

^^^On a built engine, with all the rest of the car up to scratch yes, if they're bolted onto an otherwise pretty stock GTR (so excluding exhaust, ecu, pod filters) they'll give a crap result compared to the guys with all the right parts and the same turbos :)

Agreed. For some reason everyone latelythinks -5's will give them 380 + kw on a stockish 2.6L. Have a look through the dyno results thread, there are very few that have done this. Most are around 350 and under, and thats with cams etc

On topic though yes you will need a tune

yea I thought about the -9's for that little more response, but selling the car soon, and the workshop already had these on the shelf. Im sure I will still be happy with the -5's as it will be a improvement over the stock ceramics. Still can't believe I ran 20psi through them.. was lucky they only let go and not back through the motor..

Motor was fully rebuilt 3000km ago. Built to N1 spec, N1 pistons, oil pump, etc etc. so by all means no fully forged motor.. Still okay for 20psi though.

As much as i dont want to say this u cant be certain no ceramic dust has gone back through the motor but u may be lucky.

Xcalaba has run big boost on stock ceramic turbo's for a long time. No one is sure how- i think he is using witch magic :P

I hope im lucky.. thats the last thing I need... :( The car still idled and drove completely fine when not putting it under boost after it let go.

Car Has no Cat on it, and I was giving it boot when it went bang. So im hoping it just blew out the back. (the rear turbo exhaust wheel went.) For piece of mind I will do a compression test to just be sure.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
