I love this guy, makes a thread to ask our opinions on which turbo is right for him..

So we all give our opinion that he should mod other things before worrying about a turbo.

A week later he wants a 3037 :rofl:

Next week it will be NOS, 2 of the big ones. We will tell him NOS is for amateurs but he won't listen and then he won't listen when his laptop tells him "DANGER TO MANIFOLD", he will blow the welds on his intake and fry his piston rings cause he was granny shifting and not double clutching when he should..

Anyway we all know the story, base line is..Mia I'm a cop. ..

Actually i was told that the stock turbo in my car was a piece of shit and that i should throw it out and get a new one by multiple people. Thus why the thread started, i came here for advice. So if you dont have any useful advice other than your amazing sarcasm, simply click the 'next thread' button. Thanks.

If you want to skimp on cost, get a z32 ecu and put a nistune board in it and then get a profec b boost controller or something similar. Should cost about $850 or so.

If you can get a 3037 or 2835 pro s by all means do it, neither will dissapoint you but they are a little harder to come by these days. A gt3076r or gt3071 will be good options as well or look at the hypergear range such as an ss1pu or the G3/2.5. You need to decide if you want to run internal or external gate though. Seeing as you seem like your are new to everything i think you would be best served going internal gate and if you want the turbo to bolt up to the stock exhaust pipe then a hypergear will suit you. You can get gt3076 turbos with the nissan 6 bolt dump pattern but they apparently arent the greatest.

On top of the turbo and ecu the other things you will need:

3"+ metal intake pipe

Front mount intercooler

3"+ turbo back exhaust

555cc+ injectors (if e85 you will need bigger)

Upgraded fuel pump (nismo/tomei and bosch are good)

Z32 air flow meter

A clutch capable of holding around 300kw

Set aside $$ for the possibility of new coilpacks as well

Im sure there are probably other things you will need as well, but thats all i can think of off the top of my head.

I recommend you do a lot of reading and searching through threads in this section as all the info you need is here

I think ill go with the power fc to be honest, it has a MAP sensor so i dont need an afm.

Definately want to go internal wastegate but ill do some more research

already have 3" exhaust, intercooler and i have added 840cc injectors to my list and a 040 bosch pump, ill do some research about a clutch, any recommendations?

Cheers.

lol...I honestly never saw that there before...

ok heres my 2c...call hypergear, get a turbo and an adaptronic ecu off him if he still has any

or theres one here and get a 3076 if you dont want hypergear..

http://www.skylinesa..._1#entry6370749

comes with built in MAP..if your tuner tells you its no good tell him to get his shit together cause its a perfectly capable unit (i know cause i have one) and you wont get better for that price unless you buy a used pfc or something which are getting alot cheaper these days

then get the best injectors and fuel pump (wired for full voltage) you can find..NPC clutches are great value too

for around 3k (which will easily blow out to 5k) you will be super fast...job done...

for the money it would cost to setup a 3037 (which really should be mounted to a decent manifold to be effective anyway) you could setup a t67 kando and be just as fast if not faster. there is far better ways to spend your coin than just getting a 3037

You cant just roll in here and say Which turbo is best, cause there is so many variables as to which turbo is best for your situation..whats the car used for drag, drift,burnouts, track how much money do you have to spend, is it daily driven yadda yadda yadda...but if you did a little research you would know this already..

as they say, ask a stupid question , get a stupid answer... :)

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      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.
