Hi guys. I found a weeping welsh plug under the front turbo on my r34 gtr. And now I'm thinking I might as well pull both turbos off, do all the Welsh plugs on that side and may as well get the turbos hi flowed while I'm at it. So can anyone give good feedback of turbo builders in Sydney?

Thanks in advance for your input.

Stao where do you think -5 would make 20 psi on a RB30 bottom end?

Might be too small. We've made an 55mm exhaust wheel for RB2630 application, and that should do.

For the -11s I meant the 2871s

Depends what you're after. -5's won't blow till 9000 rpm on a 3.0, so if that's what you're after, wrong turbo.

A grunty, lazy 400-440 kw on E85 with a sorted setup without having to spin it to the moon, perfect.

Ok just finished ripping out the turbos......what a bitch of a job. Dreading putting it all back together. All welsh plugs on that side also out, ready for new ones...

Turbos have a little bit of end play and oil sitting on the inlets especially the rear turbo. So I'm thinking might as well give them the high flow treatment while out.

I'm thinking -9 cause I'm not really going to do any other upgrades as I want to keep the car as stock looking and standard as possible.

What's everyones thoughts? Car only has wheels, suspension, exhaust, and a little piggy back power tuner wired into the ecu.

Oil sitting in comp covers, inparticularly the rear one, is normal for a GTR because of the factory breather setup and I'd say there is oil in your BOV return pipe too

What PIGGAZ said, -9s and a proper standalone

Cool,

This would be awesome in a dirty 26/30 where you don't touch the bottom end and don't want to overspin it but still want massive midrange power and street driveability

edit: OP you will love your car again like the day you bought it if you boost up on -9's with a real ecu. do it!

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
