Hmm. Intresting mate. Im going down this same road, but my hx35 is on a rb26. Wounder how it will work. I've been considering a new turbo but willing to give this a try first.

Did you ever get this sorted out??

Interesting topic to read.. I had almost exactly the same issue years ago when I had a split pulse 0.86 diesel rear housing on my GT3040. Made boost early and power came on strong, then the power flat lined from about 5k to 8k. Changed the housing to a normal open housing and it made another 70hp and climbed till the limiter.

Would be interested to read an update.

What size down pipe did you guys running?

Im using what hoset calls a 12cm rear housing and wondering if the 16cm would be much better on this rb26. Im very close to starting up and tuning. The original turbo has a 2.5" outlet on the hot side. I see they offer a 3" its for 139(5 bolt flange) and the rear 16cm housing is 169. I wonder which one to go with. For the extra 39 dollars i figure if the housing gives more power (16cm) potential and it already comes with 3" vband outlet. Hmmmm :huh:-_-

The car is finished and i ran it at 14psi. It's fast but i can feel that ita getting stuffed on high rpms. Like after 7200. Think I'll upgrade to the 16cm housing and see what happens. It worth it for 169 usd.

    • To back this up, I'm always looking on the outside, seeing the level, and then opening it up anyway, as I'm worried the level I've looked at, is more so a scunge line. Then you end up dipping your damn finger in it too depending on the type of tank you're looking at just to make sure I'm not going insane.   PS, Mark, polish up the none moroso one a bit and then give it a clear coat. The Moroso one looks to be way shiner (not mirror polished, just shinier) and it'll still look weird with the two different alloys beside each other. Either that, or Id probably paint them a flat black...
    • Good old Orange Park hey... 😛   f**k I miss that race track
    • lo, it was a death trap. Good times. Got any Fatz Drift Day DVDs still available?
    • Yes, overthinking. Many PS reserviors are completely opaque. Our Skyline ones, for example. Have to remove lid, peak inside, swirl the dipstick, try to remember how to read it, etc etc. Normal. Radiator overflows are often sufficiently opaque and scunged up that you can't see the true level inside anyway, and have to open and have a peak. Besides which, I replaced the (massively expensive, even back then) plastic overflow in my Alfa GTV, back in the '90s with a stainless one that I had a good fabricator make up to be dimensionally same-same, that looks remarkably similar to the Bogan's Moroso one above, and I never suffered any particular paranoia that I didn't know how much coolant was in it.
    • Looks great, but I'm always concerned that it makes it difficult to see what level the fluids are at. Am I overthinking this?
