well the surprise was a T51R!
it was almost ready to tune but decided to buy the HKS T51R KAI BB as ive always liked the sound and thought its time to put a single and start having some fun!

So tuner had to take off turbos again and put T51R on, its almost done, taking a little bit longer than I expected but needed to fabricate dump pipe, plumb the screamer into the dump pipe, once finished should be wiring in haltech and ready for a tune.

expecting it be finished real soon.

in other news I have a 4000km old twin turbo setup and some parts as you can see that only ever got bolted on and never used all up for sale :D

more to follow in the next few days

The Car then made its way onto the DYNO where a leak in the inlet manifold gasket was found, so it got replaced with a NITTO Gasket and back on it went.
first was a tune on 98 @ 16psi and made 317kw we left that as the 98 tune as the car was going to be set up with FLEX TUNE and mostly run on E85.
the car then pushed 380kw @ 21.5psi on E85.

It's a little bit laggy compared to the -5s but you can feel the car build the power and the power delivery is amazing! Compared the 2 the t51 comes on boost later but it still has a feelin of torque in the midrange but it's a lot more dinner to drive and it feels a lot better to drive aswell the power delivery between gears are faster than the -5's overall happy with the decision to change. The twin turbo setup felt lazy and sluggish where the big single feels free and open if that makes sense

Cool. always interesting to hear how the car feels vs the dyno considering power and tourque are lower down low...good feedback! Must come on pretty strong!

Good point about performence between gears. I guess the power/torque differential down low isn't an issue between gears because you're in the higher range on shifts so you're net/net higher on both power and torque while you're hammering vs -5s.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
