Hi All,

I have a 1979 Datsun 1200 ute with the following mods.

s13 CA18DET

s13 5 speed gbox

FMIC (fairly big, not sure of exact dimensions)

Turbosmart Veeport BOV

Stinger 4424 EMS

Garrett GT28

Oil Catch Can

TurboXS boost controller.

The GT28 is great, but it lags like a bastard! Would going down to a GT25 affect performance other than coming on boost earlier? especially considering the fairly large intercooler?

Thanks.

Well it won't make the same power as the bigger turbo but chances are your probably not using the GT28 to it's full potential anyway? What psi and rwkw is your current setup making now? Even if you drop some rwkw at the topend the low-mid range of the smaller turbo might just make it as quick to drive around town as the GT28, as an example a friend has a turbo EA Falcon with a massive turbo making 300rwkw, yet it only manages a 13.3 1/4, now a Skyline can do that with only 200rwkw.

    • Haha no I'll do that one tomorrow. I've been ignoring it. It's the 5.0 one I'm taking about. (There is a little X to hide the 4.7 one if you want)
    • So I'm going to have to keep ignoring the 4.7 update, or whatever version it is? Poop. I was hoping you'd put me out of my misery.
    • We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.
    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
