Was an absolute pain in the butt to make. Can understand why they are so expensive to purchase.

Even parts:

T28 to 3" intake adaptor $60

3" donut $80

80mm pipe $50

3" to 80mm silicon $20

80mm to 80mm silicon $15

Plus 5 hours labour

Turbo is on and running at wastegate pressure. Will have to check the logs to see what that pressure is. I did screw the gate up tighter by around 3mm more preload.

The turbo is very quiet. Response wise it now never feels like a normally aspirated car it always wants to spool. So normal driving is much much better. Feels like a lighter car down low.

I'll go out again in a little bit and do some logging to over lay the old vs new data. Overall the experience is changed to the sense that it now doesn't feel like a high flow. The power feels more linear rather than nothing then sledge hammer. I've found similar previously when going from straight blade to a curved Blade compressor wheel...obviously this has more than one change.

Boost response from my logs.

Big Boy vs SS2 Rev4

1 -.2

2.1 1.2

2.5 1.4

3 1.5

3.9 2.6

4.1 2.6

4.5 2.9

7.7 3.4

8.3 4.3

12.2 6.4

12.6 7.5

13.6 7.9

17.3 11.7

Response looks to be around 300 rpm better over the SS2 Rev4.

Running 20psi off the gate with it wound tighter

than it arrived by 3mm. Stable boost through all gears rather than lower boost for lower gears of the SS2 Rev4

Light throttle off the line testing response (27% throttle)

Keen to get some more boost into it. Pulls very well at only 20psi.

This is a big turbo that is very easy to drive as a daily. Expecting some decent numbers. I have a center muffler to change out that I noted had a 20% restriction inside and then I'll up the boost and dyno.

Boost now at 28psi. Try's to change lanes...in 3rd...I don't have a proper LSD being a non ARX. I've previously had a 33 4 door 5 speed auto with a RB26DETT that I ran an 11.8s quarter in (project 11's from ZOOM magazine) the Stag feels faster...

I've maxed it out with a bleed valve anyway

1st 22psi

2nd 25psi

3rd 29psi

4th ??

If I synthetically induce load with the brake I get more boost.

Played with the timing. Going from +6 to +8 degrees of timing up top makes a very noticeable difference.

1st 26 degrees

2nd 24 degrees

3rd 18 degrees

My turbo is being done atm by hypergear. I went the m35rv1. Not hoping for huge power just more then stock. Iv also gone hdi intercooler, am performance dump and mid pipe, am performance suction pipe and 14psi actuator. Will i hit any sort of cut with these mods or will the ecu be able to adapt?

You may possibly max out the afm. With similar mods prior to tuning I was hitting afm cut. But plenty have had similar with no issues.

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
