hey guys, heres a dyno chart from the other day. this is for a fairly stock example, with standard cooler / exhaust, and 10 psi boost. cheers!

Works good too, brings it all on heaps earlier, just like the grub screw in the BOV. :thumbsup:

I just got back from tuning after fitting the stock turbo, it was only a temporary tune as Garrett is out of GTX turbo's at the moment. Running ethanol and pushing 1.2 bar the stocker made 225awkw and 850nm. I might just stick with this one for a while... :cheers:

This is a good representation of what a stock turbo (17psi) and a stage 2 (20psi) can do on ethanol, overlaid on the same graph. Cihan was very impressed with the stockers capabilities.

That's very impressive. How long would you expect the stock turbo to last at those pressures? So much has been written about short life expectancy if over 14psi. Is this temporary return to stock a bit of an experiment where you don't care if it lets go Scotty?

I would prefer if it didn't, and I only raised it 2 or 3 psi, should be ok.

I have an opinion on the failures, it seems to be the rear bearing that goes, possibly caused by oil starvation. The oil restrictor banjo bolt only has a 1mm hole and could easily block, especially if the engine internals are dirty. As mine has been flushed, I am hoping it will last just fine. It doesnt sound noisy like they usually do.

It could be a good idea to flush your engines and then check the hole isn't blocked...

I'm not tuning, I'm fabricating a stand for the extraction fan I gave him, the 1m blades should do the job nicely. I wont say what it will suck like... :)

Do you want me to make another modified actuator?

I'd love to know where exactly this is so i could check. Is it on the block or turbo? Is it recommended to drill the hole out to (say) 1.5mm or does that cause other problems?

I'm very keen to make the std turbo last as long as possible and, given your results, it doesn't look like I need to put up with low power. Not saying I will run boost that high though.

It only made 2kw more with the higher boost, but 100nm extra torque.

The restrictor banjo is in the block, you can just get to it with a (17mm?) spanner. Don't strip the thread putting it back in... I dont know if drilling it out will be too much for the seals, probably not, perhaps you should just check it to make sure it is clear.

I think Scott's been drilling the hole to 3mm

Mmmm, 300% increase. Sounds like Scott :thumbsup:

Thanks Scott. You posted at same time. I will check that it is clear in the first instance. Maybe discuss improvements later...

He'll have to answer that one LOL. Banjo bolt...somewhere on the turbo..?.:/

or not...:blush:

For some reason the song "The devil went down to Georgia" springs to mind. But I digress.

scotty,

Nice result with stock turbo, didnt think they would like running at 17-20psi, are they ceramic wheel?

Also your dyno graph doesnt have the power dipo at 3500rpm??? Do you run stock converter/trans?

Yep, ceramic but much different design to the Skyline/C34 wheel, ours run at 1 bar stock where theirs blow at over 12psi apparently. That is where the worry comes from I think as not too many of us have been comfortable with ramping the boost on the stocker.

Nope, My transmission has had a full build, still a work in progress. The 4000 stall dominator made me is a little too open, the factory lockup clutch you see in the dyno graph wont work and just slips as it is trying to haul in 1.5 - 2k revs (which it just cant do). I have disconnected the clutch for street and installed a 12v switch direct to the solenoid for dyno runs. It holds well over 1100nm of torque that way, I had it slipping at 24psi on my old turbo so im not sure where it will crap out with the Garrett GTX.

I am trying to source a spare torque converter to cut open, they are hoping to find as direct a replacement as they can to allow a larger clutch and more efficient stall stator to be fitted. Perhaps the Patrol TC may fit? Let me know if theres a spare M35 one around as this will be an issue for anyone building their box eventually.

So much more power where you can use it on a day to day basis.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
