Hi guys. Me and my fabricator friend finally have installed the Garrett GT30 with .63 (vg30) housing.

Here are a heap of pics of our progress.

A nicely wrapped dump pipe. f**k I love that dump. Its a work of art. (my mate made it from a pair or flanges and some bends). The thermal wrap is wired on.

The dump is bolted on and stray lines hooked up

ok...I have a few problems....

I have set the Q41 (90mm) option in the PFC but the car won't idle.. I have tried adding and taking fuel and ignition from the load point that the car idles at but no luck ;)

WOuld anyone have any ideas whys wrong? I'm going to get the car to a tuner very soon, but it might take a little while... Tuner is booked.

Checked for vacuum leaks, loose shit and just general stuff and everything is in order... so yeah, I'm stumped.. Are there any settings that I coukldadjust that I may have missed?

anyway... If anyone has any questions at all about this upgrade, ask away, I'll answer my best.

This took us 2 full days.

i see the plenum but have never seen one like that before where did you get that and how does it work and improve for power

thats on my mates car, and he made that himself. I guess 2 TB's flow more than one.

oh and Paul, a BIG THANKS for the your website! I used it to help me do my car.

as Crazymn said, car goes fine when throttle above 1,000rpm... but won't idle :D

damn thing ..

no problems dude. glad to be a help, if theres shit wrong or any info you can think to add let us know and ill put it up. nothing wrong than have info thats slightly out or wrong. did you use the q45 wiring ok or already knew how to do it? have u considered doing factory reset of the pfc and then let it do its base idle crap to try and learn it again? if your getting it tuned it may not be a bad idea to have the stock maps loaded. if you do reset it, be sure to set q45 and boost controller kit off before you crank it over the first time. let us know if you try this and it works

Some very nice pictures and was great to compare as i just put a 2535 on yesterday. The front of that turbo is huge compared to the stocky.

One question, are you only using the little whole in the air box to get your cold air?

I am going to get back to you about the AFM wiring, as yours is a little confusing and the example rb25 one is completely different to mine.. maybe cause its a SII ? Not sure but the wire colours are different. I'll get the exact wiring for you a little later on.

lol no biggy, jus a couple of blown fuses..

I don't really want to reset the ecu... after that tune they did... But I guess its pretty useless now hey?

maybe I should plot it out in an excel spreat sheet before I reset it for other people to use?

its a 210 rwkw tune, awesome power. Just needs the out of boost points tuned as per your comments in the other thread.

lol done with my camera phone (v3 razr)

yeah, there is only the little "factory intercooler plumbing hole" in the "air box area" at the moment, I'll have to find a way to route some air to it.

I will admit, it doesn't sound as good as my other setup (stock turbo, with stainless turbo duct and shield etc) that spooling sound was sweet

Nice work, and great report :D.

Are you using factory injectorsand rail? If not, what are you using?

Is it possible that at idle the q45 airflow meter is not generating enough voltage for the ecu to recognise?

Give us an update on the final result, once it has been tuned.

ok let us know the colours or what not. the rb25 wiring should be the same, i dont think it was different for series 1 or 2, i know it had differnet coulour afm label, pink vs green. didnt realise wiring was different. let us know what you have, ill check mine and then update the doco

I will admit, it doesn't sound as good as my other setup (stock turbo, with stainless turbo duct and shield etc) that spooling sound was sweet

I've recently moved to a turbo that doesn't have the surge ring or what ever it is directly in front of the compressor wheel as the RB20 and RB25 turbo's do.

This turbo is so so quiet, I can only hear a slightly whistle as its on boost.

The old stock turbo was damn noisy, big loud whooshing sucking noises.

Looks awesome.. Be sure to inform us of the spool characteristics.

Maybe take a vid of how she spools under general driving.

Why dont you bore out your factory intercooler hole. You'd want this bigger than your turbo inlet.

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
