....i just have a problem with spool up time and need to reduce it badly i thought this might help a bit. i have currently a high flowed t3 with t4 steel wheelso she doesnt hit full boost till 5000rpm and im running 1 bar boost i have a 3.5inch exhaust  and HKS front mount.

Sorry to throw a spanner in the works, but with such a comparably small turbo, i find it odd that you are getting full boost as such a late rev range..correct me if im wrong.

Do you have an aftermarket ECU?

Considered maybe getting someone to have a look at the tune to get you a better boost response?

Tuning plays a big roll in boost response, more so over spending $$$ on manifolds.

I say this, as i've had two different ‘types’ of tunes on the same engine set up.

One tuner, was lazy and didnt really play around with ignitions, managed to get my t3/t4 to just SLAP KICK in at 4000rpm

On a different workshop with more experience, he managed to give a VERY linear and stable boost increase that brought boost response down as low as 2700rpm with full boost at just a smidge over 3000rpm

Tune has a big play

Something to think about :cheers:

Anyone wishing to organise a gorup buy on the turbo outlet pipes like the picture above, I am keen.. I know the stokcer pipes are majorly restrictive..

The crossover pipes are a good idea to equalise turbine pressure, but I always have a concern about any possible reversion causing turbulence, but this would be at certian rev ranges only and if you're trying to run GT-RS's then I gues you need all the help you can get..

Gav: mate, I don't know where you can get hold of those old skool HKS manifolds anymore. I know a few people with the current goodsmaster and I could have a look for you this weekend if you want?

Yorik, I'm keen on those compressor outlet Y pipe kit too. I was thinking of the nismo one, but it may be more cost effective to get the HKS ones (which are pretty much the same).

on the other hand, I'll probably be better off to pick them up when I go back to japan. I really need to stop buying parts here and be patient. :lol:

Have you guys looked into getting the standard manis extrude honed?

Scooby - I have heard that the stock mani's are not too bad, but how many $$ for the hone? Might end up more worthwile getting something like the nice shinny ones I posted above....

DB - how much are you looking for on them, so that we all can get an idea???

mmmgtir: There is different pipes like this made by Greddy, HKS and I ahve seen a few Nismo ones, Greedy sell a kit that also incorporates the turbo inlet pipe and a Trust Air Filter for about $1000AUD (through Nengun) These are pre made to fit Z32 AFM's.. I would just ditch the filters if I could get them for say 750-800.. At the moment though I am more inclined to spend my money elsewhere, I was hoping someone would bring up a gorup buy sort of thing on these, I jsut don;t have the time to try adn organise it..

Sort of on the same topic, does anyone know of a cheaper version of the bridged low mount manifiolds?

My GT-RS terbs shuffle like a bastard during boost build up and I have the option of either adding a bridge to my existing manifolds (prefer not to as they are nicely ceramic coated inside and out) or selling them to buy a bridged pair.

Gav dont bridge them, you'll lose the clear exhaust pulse signal and lose turbo efficiency .I can show you published documentation if you like.

How the big girl going ,on her way to repair i hope

I heard an engineer who makes manifolds say he thought the chinese manifolds are quite decent and any problems of cracking could be solved by putting flex piping of some sort soon after the turbo outlet to provide some resistance against the movt of the entire exhaust sytem thats hanging off them. Makes sense to me.

Hi, looks like I am going to have to pull out of group buy.. I ripped off the pipes the other nigth and had a good look and I already have HKS Stainless Manifolds under the stock heatshields.. Sorry for any inconvenience..

Along with the HKS dump pipes I am now at a loss at to why my HKS GT2530's have such a high boost threshold.. They make 0.6 bar by 4k rpm and 1.2 bar by about 5k rpm.. I would ahve thought that with the restrictions removed that 2530's should spool up a little quicker.. I will ahve to check the compressor flow maps for the 63 Trim variety..

Now I am much more keen to get some of those pipes for the turbo outlet.. Looks like Nengun have the best price for GReddy kit. I can't find anyone else selling these or any other brands, will ahve to look harder me thinks..

great stuff that you have some tasty HKS manifolds and split dumps :) saves a few $$$!

I agree that the 2530's should be coming in a LOT sooner... I researched the 2530's quite a bit before I bought mine, as I wanted something with good response and discovered that the 2530's were very good.

I'd say it is a tuning issue - it really depens how things are tuned as to how it will respond. SK is very good on this topic. When I was speaking to SK re the 2530's he was able to get his to 1bar ~ 3700 - 4000rpm....

good luck with it mate.

(oh, I'd be in for a set of the compressor outlet pipes as well!)

I think I might be suffering from a bit of Wastegate creep, I have just started loggin with my FC-Datalogit tonight and will be checking the boost delivery in a graph, I am interested to check out some of the other sufrrounding factors before I make any hasty changes.. But my Tomei Cams (260deg 10.85mm lift along witha fair bit of associated hardware) project is now a few steps closer..

In terms of the pipes, I did a fair bit of reaseach today at work (slow day) and I foudn that the best deal seems to be a deal on Greenline for HKS pipes, still up around the $1000 AUD mark, but they offer some more piping in the recirc area aswell.. 4x turbo-IC pipes, 4 x Inlet suction pipes and 3 x recirc pipes.. I have Z32 AFM's already and sizey K&N's so I have to be a little careful with positioning and pipe sizes as these semm to be designed more for the HKS pods which are a little smaller in terms of protusion (about 1.5-2 inches) .. More reseasrch me thinks..

sounds like you will have a VERY nice set up :P keep us posted on the results!

I looked at the piping kits as well, but i don't need the full kit, as i have M's pods and Greddy hard piping kit. I might look at getting some piping made up here to replace the stock outlet pipes :D

I'll let you know how I go.

Hmmmmmm, what ECU are you using? Personally I would be looking at advancing the ignition timing some, as that is the first place I go for better response. Maybe some tuning of the exhaust camshaft timing woiuld help as well.

Premature wastegate opening would be my next port of call. Try setting the boost threshold at 2 bar, and testing the boost build then. That will tell you if the boost bypass isn't large enough through the EBC. If that turns out to be the case I would try a Norgren pressure limiting valve before the EBC. Or upgrade to a Jaycar IEBC, they ensure absolutely no premature wastegate opening because the solenoid is in series to the wastegate actuator. The HKS EBC (like most others) has its solenoid parrallel to the wastegate actuator.

Hope that is of some help:cheers:

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
