Hey guys,

just had this built in Perth.will be on the car soon and tuned at the end of the month.be interesting to see what it pulls

Nissan VQ25 custom upgrade.


Billet GT30 compressor with ceramic ball bearings and bronze cages . HKS GT3035 turbine wheel used for great spool up. Major machining undertaken to make it fit but all in a days work here at Per4manz

Looks the goods, but I think you will have boost spiking issues unless you open up the wastegate hole and run a larger puck...

What is the thrust load tolerance like with the ceramic bearings? The small rear housing will cause a lot of pressure on the shaft. (partly why the Garrett cores have so many problems when shoved in the stock housing.)

I look forward to seeing what it can do, when is it getting tuned?

I raised the point of spiking issue's but grant has assumed me it should be fine (he gave me a full in detail description of it all too)

I have no idea the load tolerances but I'll ask when I pick it up today he's done plenty of rb25 turbos similar to ours,I know he changes the casing to a bronze because the garret phenolic one's let go and the ball bearings are made of nitrate and bores the oil feed to his own specs

Can't get into tuner before the 30th so literally I'll call on the 30th to book and go from there

Does he realise there are three oil restrictors in the sump? I can tell you there isn't much oil supply at the turbo...

I did mention it several time's, it's just what he does as a standard for his Highflow service. Does the same for rb's

Rb don't have the same restrictors setup as vq's do.

It is in the line in an rb, easily replaced.

I was under the impression that on the vq25 with a bush bearing scotty drilled out the banjo's?

This one is ball bearing and getting new braided line's, I would think that should do it?

How much is this costing you? Pm me if you like.

Perth based.

Best thing to do would be to contact grant directly. But it was cheaper than what a lot cheaper than the other places offering a similar service/product

I'll have results in a few weeks once I can put it on and get it tuned

For the info on the wheel and thrust load. He was busy when I picked the turbo up and a mutual friend dropped in so don't have the answers . he has the wheels he uses on his Facebook Page and the ball bearings and cages too

That would depend how much oil the ceramic bearings require, even with the braided line the oil will only dribble out the turbo end of the hose...

The best course of action would be to open up the three in the sump to around 4mm or so; then drill the final external (on the side of the block) to perhaps 0.5mm dia over whatever Grant specifies for the turbo feed.

That way you'll always have more than enough supply; but the braided line isn't running full system pressure. Then your braided line isn't the "weakest link" in the system.

That's kinda what I was thinking along the lines of :) is why I called you the other day :P

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
