Slowly but surely - Will have news next week. As for 450HP ...... maybe a bit optimistic now I know a bit more. The mods would make the car 450 HP capable, but with standard internals and the boost needed to get to 450, the donk woudn't last long - So 17-18 PSI is the max I will run it at. Can go up to 22-23 but...

Stay tuned,,

Hey ppl,

Put the car on the Dyno today for an initial tune. Dowloaded a EMS map from a similar car as a start - Results look promising. Stilll a bit of work to go tho.

Run 14 PSI with crappy cat ( the hi flow one will be available in 2 weeks)

Got up to 220rwkw.

With more EMS tuning, Hi Flow Cat and more boost (18PSI) should hit the 260rwkw mark. I'll be happy with that. There's a few more things to do to....

It's a totally different car to drive - The turbo makes an awsome sound when spooling - Boost comes on at 2300 RPM. Def need new rear tyres & new clutch soon...

Also, am running the turbo in, so no silly boost or anything. I'll go back in a week or so, give my report from driving her around for a bit, put the cat in, wind up the boost and see what she pulls then.....

More to come...

So what are these HKS SS Turbines?

What do you exactly mean by that?

I thought a T3/4 Hybrid was using your origional T3 Housing with a different compressor housing T4.

HKS SS Exhaust housing?!?!? I've never actually heard of an SS Housing.

Ended up using a GCG Hi Flowed R34 Turbo - new performance bb core and upgraded (steel) compressor and turbine wheels. Rated at 500HP.

Yeah - I think so - the 500. Mark from Hills took care of all of that for me - I know he had to send it back once to get a 1 bar wastgate put on it.

Re; full boost- I haven't paid that much notice to be honest, it gets there so quick now, I'm watching the road mostly, not the boost guage. Let me drive it round a bit more and I'll let you know. I do know that boost starts just after 2000 RPM - The tubine spinning up sounds awsome.

The clutch is usually the first thing to go when you give it more power, mine only lasted 3 days when I increased the power, hopefully my twin-plate should go the distance.

Go for something stronger than you think you'll need cause the clutch always takes a hammering.

See'ya:burnout:

I went the xclutch 9 button ceramic ferride sprung clutch with 2500 lb pressure plate. I would have gone a twin plate if I had the time and dollars to source one. I need mine as a daily driver to from work, and was scared the clutch wasnt going to get me to work, so I stretched the budget just enough to get this done. Damn shame there wasnt a second hand twin plate handy at the time, as I can see this one protesting in the not too distant future- fingers crossed.

Yes I know a few people who went the same path, and while they are a good clutch I do not think they will hold up under the punishment of 300+rwhp. They are however very easy to drive, but my twin plate only took a couple of days of getting used to. Although second-hand twin-plates are becoming more common they are quickly snapped up, due to most people frying the factory one.

See'ya:burnout:

    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
