Don't listen to the knockers. I fitted a turbo to an efi patrol. AFRs were fine up to 6 psi. Like has been said let the AFM do the work for u. Horses for courses....

This is actuall In a patrol aswell!

My first 30 powered gq I fitted vl na injection, ran it at 5 psi on the na tune,

then got rb20 injectors and a vlt tune at 10psi. Was pretty good truck.

then got this gq, straight lpg rb30,

that was a rubbish setup, always out of tune on the wideband, made 75.6hp atw!

Now it's an rb25/30det on fuel.

I love blasting uphill past Lexus/cruiser 200 series, prados, pajeros and new patrols!

The offending gasket and an engbay shot when it was first done, looks a tad dif now.

Specs - home made top mount manifold, Chinese t04e turbo .63 rear, .50 front.

50mm external gate, 3" mandrel exhaust, 3" cat, muffler, and 18"x3" resonator .

2.5" cooler pipes, 600-300-75 front mount, throttle body moved to front,

Massive intank pump -1l surge -044 external pump, (constant 12v supply controlled on/off by ecu)

pretty standard rest of setup, stock r31 block, r32 na 25 head untouched (hence the 20 style inlet)

standard tune.

Well yeah, as I had to limp it 350km home when it happened, it would've continued to push through the void into the next cylinder, back and forth.

it wasn't so bad to start with but she was pretty unhappy by the time I got home!

love my Nissan, far from stock, still it'll keep on goin till the end just to get me home.

couldn't do that in a landcruiser!

Ive had an engine do that, it had started to cut a groove in the head where the gasket had gone

Update, dropped the head off today for a rebuild, $650 for the full treatment. Deck the face, cut and grind all valves and seats. Pressure test and chem clean, and fully reassembled.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
