Who in Oz supplied the basic components of the turbos, in particular the compressor and exhaust housings and also in particular, internal gate ones?

I want to look into changing my exhaust housing to one that is more modern, like the HKS and current crop of Garrett designs (like the XR6 Turbo ones).

Thanks in advance.

Come on guys, surely someone knows.

Ah yeah, MTQ... they do the best prices in Oz for Garrett stuf if you cant get it off Garrett themselves (sometimes they can be a pain)

Was gonna use MTQ for me, but they didnt have the goods in stock. They were $200 cheaper for a GT30

Freebaggin,

 

How has your turbo turned out so far? Has it hit a brick wall yet?

I think the fundamentals of the turbo CHRA are good, but I think the comp &/or turbine covers are a bit cobbled together. So looking at options there.

270-280rwkW at 17psi is good I suppose, particularly with stock cams and pipework/intercooler designed for only a 250rwkW target.

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
