Hey guys

My setup basically is a forged bottom end rb25det, only thing standard is the head (no porting) . I have aftermarket springs and 268 cams.

Have a plazmaman ffp, 6boost high mount with a proboost gtx3582 with a .82 strapped on ( same spec as garrett) .1200cc injectors and dual walbro 460 pumps.

Now when it comes to tuning most tuners reckon my current power level (415rwkw) is near the point the turbo maxes out. Is there truth comparison wise to other people using these turbos.

My aim was roughly the high 400 mark but after hearing I may need a turbo upgrade I've decided to bump the power I'm going for.

How would a borgwarner s366 and s369mm spool up on a 2.5? Or even a gt42 ? I don't care if the car comes on full song around 5ish k.

Can confirm it's not maxxed out on the turbo side at least. I have about the same power on a .82 through an Auto at 23psi. Some people will run 35psi and make well over 500 with them so I doubt the turbo is the restricting factor here if you're willing to lean on it.

1.06 probably will help, depending on the rest of the setup will kind of determine how much you can get out of the turbo, but the turbo itself probably doesn't need to be changed but something bigger may bandaid the problem.

The borg warners are good stuff, and better in many areas but it appears that as far as Garretts go, the GTX3582 is the 'good' one of the range and holds its own compared to alternatives with Precision and BW. For high 400's then man you have the right turbo already on the car.

Thanks for the reply guys.

Yeh that's what I was thinking. I done my research when it came to getting the turbo but now come tune time the tuners are throwing doubts in my head.

Restriction exhaust flow wise it's basically a 3inch dump to a straight through 3.5 exhaust

I was thinking of going the 1.06 but that will probably make it lag as much as a bigger turbo itself with a matched housing.

bigger compressor will lag more, is your setup twin scroll?

If you're making that kind of power and want more with the larger rear housing.. probably best to dump both gates into the atmosphere and run the 3.5" exhaust.. if not, time for a 4" system.

i will bet the last line you posted is correct aswell...those 1.06 housings are good for killing backpressure in bigger motors, like 4.0 barras.

the turbine hardly flows any more on a 3.0 with one..and the lag sacrifice is ridicilous..fine if your auto..manual not so much

cheers

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
