Just to remind you the key requirement of the thread:

 
I am building a Street Car (Not a Race car) and will be using mostly RON98 But will be E85 compatible. I want Response more than Top End. 

everyone else seemed to digress from the conversation, and that's fine.

Ok Lithium I know you have beef with me and take every single opportunity to attack me, that's fine. On the block list you go.

Yes, more manufacturers should use better materials. It makes so much of a difference in the real world that I just cry when people spend money on turbos without doing proper research. The only other variable is packaging, but if you physically can't fit a huge turbo somewhere, you are well outside of the "Street car" category.

These lighter materials have their limits and with how hard a lot of people are pushing turbos these days the ti-al wheel would be lucky to last the dyno session on some of these cars. Everything is horses for corses 

the best answer so far has been from @Piggaz which was “what’s your power goal?”

Lol I actually am here nor there about you tbh, if anything my understanding is you have a huge issue with me for some reason and that'd be the main reason I'd be less cordial with you. 

 

That aside I'm not sure why you're taking it personally when I simply responded to you after you quoted me - I *always* try my best to keep in mind what OP is looking for even if it doesn't align with my personal tastes, so my response would have been more or less the same regardless of who said it. And I'd also not have had a cry if someone said the exact same thing to me as it seems perfectly reasonable.

Use a bigger turbo. Spin it less hard. People overdriving turbos does not make it a good turbo selection, nor a good plan.

I can run 200psi boost too and make tons of power, is that what we should recommend then 😛

Why not? if the turbo can do it, go for it

Strictly speaking it can't, or shouldn't be.   The assumption is that most sensible people keep things within parameters, we expect tuners to not keep advancing timing past the point knock starts happening even if there are gains to be had because you obviously start making things degrade a LOT faster.   We let engines warm up properly before thrashing them.   We run appropriate oil and change it before it loses it's usefulness.   We don't overspeed turbos.    

You also massively overstate the fragility of EFRs.   It is farrrrr from a case of "pass the max compressor speed limit and they explode" like some people try to paint the situation as being. 

The thing I *do* strongly agree with what you said, and have been sorta expecting to get clarified at some point - the actual power goals and therefore the match required is a pretty critical thing that needs to enter this convo before it really gets too much further.   

I threw the EFR8474 down there as the OP mentioned response and it is kinda a "cake and eat it too" option when discussing something like an RB28 for happy street use.   It'll be a nice super responsive turbo on an RB28 if you "only" want 400kw, but will also go past 600kw @ hubs on E85 while still being well safe from running the risk of grenading if you wanted to go there.   The response and flow is good enough that if you want anywhere from 400-600kw then it will do so without any excessive lag or strain, so you're unlikely to end up with regrets going for one.

If you aren't building a roll-race or drag car then it'd be pretty hard to make a case for another turbo unless it's a fitment or budget concern driving the decision making - but that is still making some assumptions on what OP wants.  Be nice to have clarification.

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • 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.
