The whole place?  Note that I'm not unfamiliar with the UK, I've spent a bit of time there.  Never heard it used in that way.

It's international English here marveling is not a far fetched word in either spelling.

The Queen would possibly not use it. But the rest of the population has no issue with elevator (lift), holidays (vacation),  gas (petrol), highway (motorway), apartment (flat) or marveling :)

There is no way that anyone in the US uses marvelling in that way.  Nor Australia.  Nor Canada.  Excluding India, which we will ignore because there is no case for normalising the way that they use (abuse/destroy) English, that pretty much leaves the UK and a few places in Africa and SE Asia.....which I have also spent a lot of time in and never heard anyone use it.

When I hear myself think the word in my head, I hear it with an Ali G accent.

Yeah marvelling and contemplating have entirely different meanings....

In any case, yeah, OP6 is the better housing to use if you ever really want to lean on the thing. Not often that people have both to choose from, and typically not really worth "upgrading" to if you already have a hiflow with the 21U housing.

That said, the Turbo is pretty much the most important part of the car for performance, so unless for some reason you must have stock turbine housings, or are aiming for 220kw don't use one.

OP6 is made for a Neo engine, and it has higher CPR, and more VCT cam angle.  Fitting that housing to a normal R33's high flow will result in an average of 500RPM worth of lag and increase HP by roughly 15kws. 

I think you'll find the static compression ratio is the same . Lower volume combustion chamber and the middle of the piston crown is lower . On the R33 spec RB25DET pistons the "plateau" is taller effectively giving deeper valve head reliefs . From memory the Neo turbo pistons may have the oil cooling channels behind the ring pack area like RB26 pistons do .

Pretty sure the Nissan WSM shows the static CR as 9.0:1 .  And they used a slightly larger side mount intercooler .

I'm at 260RKW with the currently installed hybrid, or did you mean 320RKW?

Alas I prefer responsiveness to top end since the car is used 99% on public roads.

You're correct .. same compression ratio

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
