Comp map shows peak efficiency around 22-24psi, which is roughly target boost. 

Oh and I should have clarified, 9kw less, but now has cams, so would have been more if it still had the stock cams in it. 

The point was that hopefully the cartridge is still be decent if it's spinning well enough to support that power. 

Anyway, the purpose of the thread was to help me determine what the lack of power and response was, thanks to all who provided suggestions and assistance, we know now the issue and will get it sorted :) Looking forward to having it running well again.

Able to diagnose a turbo failure without seeing it/the car/knowing the rest of the setup etc? 

Where were you when I was chasing the issues that lead me to pulling it down and finding the problem. I could have used your magical diagnostic powers lol ;D

 

You're the 1 who has said your turbo has failed not me? 

Im telling you why and i can almost guarantee Its just the usual problem. 

Compressor maps dont mean a thing. Looked at the new maps garrett supply now? 

They incorporate TURBINES into the equation and give you a compressor flow based on turbine selection.... Gee I wonder why they did That???

Other than stealthiness there's really no reason to buy more twins nowadays. If you buy two new twins, you could buy a single + manifold/fab to fit that for the same money.

Obviously cheaper if you replace it by buying one single, but then again the real savings are in known good second hand turbos ;)

Still curious how a turbo can fail causing only a 9kw loss though? Maybe just detune the thing to 300kw and drive it around for awhile.


New set of -5s are $2500, a Borgwarner EFR is $2600 minimum, $1300 for a manifold and then your intake piping, exhaust piping, lines and fittings... Not even slightly the same money.

My two cents is, you've bought ANOTHER set of second hand turbos after your first set of second hand turbos failed? Not a great idea... Rebuild your original ones or go a single would be your most reliable options.

Also, your car would be faster with stock cams in it.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
