So I have a Nissan Cefiro with an RB26.   It is my daily drive and I take the kids in it often.

I'd like a turbo setup that gives me 500-600rwhp on e85 but has great response and power in the lower rpm range.

At the moment these two turbos look like the best options, i welcome others.

 

My current thoughts are I have used Garrett for 15+ years and they have been nothing but excellent. I have seen a lot of people having issues with precision's but its hard to call as they are often on full race cars that replace pistons as often as they do turbos.  The lack of water cooling on the precision worries me too as I will be doing runs to the shops, not sitting idling but shutting off.

The precision's seem to consistently out perform the garrets though in both spool and outright power.  Garrets GTX range seems barely an upgrade from the GT range. I have seen good results on the G25 -550 but very average ones on the G25-660 and nothing really so far on the G30.

 

 

Do you have any preferences in terms of flange? As per Gtsboy, surprised you didn't mention the EFR range and did Precision - Precision are not really big players at this kind of power range and Borg Warner are arguably king, the G series looking like at best they are only just catching up to the EFR range.

I haven't found a single result for G30s, yet- not for lack of keeping an eye out. I would love to see a G30 770 on a set up like this so just do it ;)

I suspect that it has a chance to be a banger of s thing for that power target, not just saying that because I want to see someone do it.

If you are feeling adventurous the Xona Rotor XR7164S with the trick UHF turbine looks mega interesting but could be raising the hand for being a guinea pig.  There are at least local dealers for Xona now and the results for the UHF range that I've seen so far have been pretty nuts so an intriguing option.

Not got the manifold as yet so flange choice is open. T4 split would be nice as it gives the most options but I do release the G30 is v-band only at the moment.  

Yeah, knowing Garrett they won't do the G30 in T4 split pulse - they haven't seemed too popular.  Would be nice if there were more standard V-band options, tbh I haven't looked too far into it but I'm not sure how far the v-band option for the G30 range will stretch.   Be nice if you could go all the way to a G35-1050 or something else with the same flange.

I'm at the point of wondering why all turbo manufacturers don't just say, "Right now, as of this moment, no more flanged housings. We're only doing V-bands and all of you boost monkeys are just gunna have to come with us."

After 3-6 months of predictable internet moaning, the new world order would be in place and none of the GenZs would even remember that you used to be able to get them with a flange.

I'm ok with this when collecting <4 cylinders, but otherwise twin scroll + v-band don't work for me, and throwing away pulse conversion also doesn't work for me, so your idea has flaws :P

I dunno. I've bought 5" & 6" v-band sets out of China over the last couple of years (for other applications) for only a handful of dollars. There doesn't seem to be any reason why a v-band can't be large enough to flow all the gas you want and there isn't really much of a reason why dividers couldn't be arranged to provide sufficient separation through the joint area. Tolerancing would become more critical perhaps. I imagine a divider that comes up out of the turbo's inlet flange that meets a split divider coming out of the manifold. By "split divider" I mean a divider that is not as narrow - is wide enough for a slit in the edge facing the turbo's divider. The turbo's tongue then slips into the other one's slit** and doesn't go all the way in to the bottom of the slit. So there is some room for thermal expansion, something of a labyrinth seal to reduce cross talk in the pulses. (I've had similar ideas for twin into single wastegates, except that they're not as critical because when it matters most you can get the wastegate's poppet valve to close up on the divider.)

 

**It's not as dirty as it sounds.

lol.

 

My concern is more that I've heard bugger all people using the divided v-band housings, but when I have heard of it - it seems people are having issues making manifolds sturdy enough to have a nice collector to suit the flange and not end up cracking or anything else less than ideal.  

I think there will soon be a revolution in manifold design and manufacture techniques. We're seeing it in industry now with the various rapid prototyping options that are around. But even with what I do, it is becoming so easy to draw something with a fairly complicated shape and get it cast in high grade stainless in China and shipped to Australia in a week or so. So I have no doubt that manifold collectors and the like will start getting drawn by the more skilled workshop operators here in Oz and done using similar methods. It's all getting increasingly possible. It just seems difficult if you remain in the hand fabbed tube manifold world and don't look elsewhere. I'm not saying that whole manifolds will get done that way, but the tricky parts to make by hand (so that they work and don't break) could certainly be done using new techniques. All it needs is someone to take the plunge and start. They will build up a design library and work out when it is better to cast, or when you should just 3d metal print, etc etc.

This is true.  Drifting off topic but more people are already showing up and designing cast manifolds, I have been pondering whether to invest some time with a design I've been playing with elsewhere which would probably earn scowls but have a lot of advantages with little disadvantage.   No point having the tech we have now without using it.

If it is castable, I can point you to a prototyping outfit in China that do good work for not many buckkeroons. What you do is send them a 3D drawing of something that is quite similar to what you want (but not actually exactly what you want) for scoping & quoting. If you don't decide to go forward, your IP is not sitting in someone's office in China. If you do decide to go forward, you send them the actual design and your commercial relationship with them gives you warm fuzzies (while they probably steal your shit anyway!)

6062 is bigger than mine in terms of outright power so it's way more than you want.

Ryan's 240Z goes 600hp with a 5558 on a RB25, so that's easy enough for your goals

They claim the 6062 makes more but I’m yet to see a result that backs it up

There have been some pretty big numbers from them to be fair, definitely more than a G30-770 will support but while I haven't seen results from a G30-770, it seems pretty reasonable to expect it to spool better too.  The G30-770 is a more sensible match to this power range I think

There have been some pretty big numbers from them to be fair

 

Any examples on hand ?  

Google gives me US dyno results from 480-750rwhp and none on a nissan.  Always so hard with American dyno's to actually know what power that really is, not yet seen a 1/4 mph to get an idea.

Not on hand, sorry - but I have seen results (1/4 mile and dyno) which have been enough to make me treat the 6062 as though it should be treated a larger turbo, both in spool and power capacity than you'd expect from the wheel sizes.   650-750whp on a US dyno is about the area I was thinking, which is pretty decent from a 60mm turbo - normally more what you expect from a good 62mm.

anyone got any results out of aus for the 6062?

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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.
