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.

      How To: "Refabricate" a Stagea 260RS/R33 GTR Speedo Sensor

      By aznriptide859 · Posted

      Yes the gear for the R33/34 is different, it is red and has a different number of teeth. My part didn't come with that gear though, so I don't know how many teeth are on the red one. You'd have to reuse the 260RS/R33 gear, as long as it's not destroyed.   Haha, as unfortunate as that might be it was working fine for about the first 1500km I've had the car for now.

      Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.

      Lock up the old for sale / wtb threads.

      Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old

      Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
