Yeah, that were good turbos, but we changed them for GT3576 analog, i'll post about it below, we have dynoes in St. Petersburg,, but i've never dynoed my car.

Cheers

After one of my 2860s stuffed I made my mind to install single turbo, friend of mine adviced me to try 3576 chinese replica, we brought it, and chinese made downpipe, installed it all, and made Y-type intake.

as we didnt have appropriate ECU we used old unit with mine's chip, AF was a little bit rich. but it was ok.

P.S Interesting red car to the right, what is this ?)

Now might be a good time to get a proper ECU and put it on a dyno to see how it really goes.

It also might be a bit safer once tuned.

Hi, new turbo on it's way to me, ETA is 20 days, so too early to talk about dynoruns.

I have Nistune ECU lyng on the shelf and waiting.

Is Nistune good ECU ? May be I should look for another thing ?

Hi SAU again, i'd been absent for a while - new job devoured my time completely and still doing that, now i understand that this season is lost for me, to the end of september-first decade of october car will be jailed in the garadge, because road conditions will be slightly hard for GTR

now todo list for a winter (Part 1) :

- completely disassemble the car, engine, drivetrain, saloon out

- body overhaul, rust extermination, everything too rusty will be cut and replaced

Here is a question, what is the best technolodgy to get rid of rust, consecution of repaint, materials, paints, primers, what you do, wnen you repainting your baby ?

- oversized oilpump

what is good, Tomei, Grex,HKS or else ?

- replace my old shattered driveshaft

is aluminium driveshaft good idea ?

As always i hope on you knowlege and kindness.

Cheers, Dim.

Hey mate. For rust I think a lot of the hot rodders use POR15 but if you jump on the forums they use anything from fishoil to mineral engine oil. Depends on if you want professional finish or just practical. Good thing about fishoil is that it's thin enough to penetrate the seams and dries thick to create a barrier. If your roads a salted then there is heaps of info on US and UK motoring sites.

Oil pump choice is up to you but more important is the oil control mods that need to be made for the rebuild relevant to the pump you install. Heaps of info on the forum.

Drive shaft...just get a stock one or a few if you are prone to breaking them.

Good luck

There are better options out there but the Nistune will be fine.

Keep us posted mate, loving the winter pics.

Ha ha oil control and rb engines!!

There is so much discussion on this topic. Best to speak directly to the gurus about this. From what I have read it depends on your application, things to consider are what oil pump you are using, then oil gallery restrictors, sump baffles, catch can setup. But seeing that oil flow and control is so important especially when you start revving them past 7k, I would get my advice from someone who has done their own r&d and have proven setup. Its not something I would be doing without a proven formula. Maybe give an engine builder a call to discuss you application.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
