im yet to put mine in too just need to get my fuel rail. Which fuel rail did you use to fit it under the plenum.

Anychance you could also tell me if the R34Neo injectors you pulled out were 11mm or 14mm. Seems to be two answers on the threads im reading.

Just used the standard fuel rail and 4mm spacer man. It still clears the plenum easy as, no worries there. Ah to be honest i didn't even measure the size difference between the old ones and the new ones. I just sprayed lanolin on them and they went into the fuel rail fine and didn't move around at all when i put the retaining clips in. With my luck i wouldn't be surprised if i bought the wrong ones haha, anything i do seems to be one step forward and two steps back!

I've got my stock injectors sitting in a box at home, ill measure them for you tomorrow. Pretty sure they are 14mm though.

Sweet, cheers dude.

Also, new turbo finally arrived! It is much bigger than i thought it was going to be hahaha. It is going on tonight and is the last thing i have to get sorted before the car goes down to trent this weekend for tuning! Fingers crossed it bolts up all sweet and i don't have anything bite me in the ass >_<

Any idea what size studs I need? And how do I get the olds ones out?

Trying to make it fit by clocking the turbo but don't think it will work.

From memory the factory ones are 42mm, so it depends what size spacer you have. I think Stao uses a 15mm spacer, so you will need to get studs at least 15mm longer. I believe I went with 67mm studs.

Standard studs are 39mm, parts that protrude from the manifold is only 24mm, turbo housing is 10mm, spacer is 16mm.

So standard studs are 2mm Fromm even being flush with new turbo.

Will try and get it all sorted tomorrow, hopefully have enough time to get it sorted before this weekend >_<

This is what i would be after yeah? Hopefully can source some locally if not then i'm pretty much farked before this weekend haha.

Yep, they are what I used. Be warned, mine warped severely after about 2000kms. I had to cut two of them to get them off.

But MTQ were very surprised and said it shouldn't happen, and because I couldn't find any inconel studs I just used the same ones again. They seem to still be ok.

Got the turbo on finally after fighting with oil and water lines. Found it interesting that the turbo doesn't have a little nipple or similar to run to the wastegate? Just used a spare nipple on my plenum and run it to that.

Run the wastegate as close to the turbo outlet as you can. Stao really should put a nipple on the turbo. But you want the wastegate plumbed into a source as close to the turbo as possible, because of you get a leak somewhere and the boost pressure is lower at the plenum then you could be working the ass off the turbo, superheating the intake charge. If that means getting a nipple put onto the hot side cooler piping then do that.

Would probably be ok for the tune. You should really check for leaks before it goes on the dyno anyway, but hopefully it's ok. But if Trent can't do it, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Just do it at some point.

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
