Went in this morning. It could possibly be done by today but since I rather have it running perfectly without any skips or beats to it, I've said they can have it for another day for it to be tuned properly.

If it is all good by the end of today and I can pick it up this arvo, I'll be happy!

You'll be surprised with Milanco then. Last time (which is the first time) the car was in their workshop. They said they'll have it ready for me on Friday afternoon for me to pick up. They then rang me and said it'll be done by the next day (the next day being thursday).

They rang me back again on the wednesday, said they had a few problems with the turbo cause it didnt fit, so they lent me a turbo for the duration of the time my turbo was in sydney being rebuilt and high flowed.

Thursday afternoon, I was able to go to the workshop and pickup the car and drive out without any problems.

Although these guys DIDNT have to lend me a turbo, they've actually done alot more for me as a customer/client then I've expected and with the care they've put not only into my car but also into the business of having me as a customer, they've done a hell of a lot better then Hardcore!!!!!

I dont usually recommend workshops to anyone but thats probably based on the amount of problems workshops have had. But Milanco have done far better then any other workshop I've been to and they are highly recommended by me.

Even still, I drop my car off at the workshop at 7.30 this morning and Brock was more then happy to quickly give me a lift up to the train station so that I could catch the train to work.

Now that is also good customer service & care!

News is....

BOSCH 044 fuel pump will not fit in the fuel tank as it's 13mm to wide.

Not surprised.....isn't the 044 an external pump and the 040 internal?

Pictures of the turbo rebuilt & high flowed taken by Milanco for me.

Of course, the cleaner one is mine compared to the turbo that was running on my car while mine was off getting rebuilt & high flowed by GCG.

lookin for over 300hp or hopefully around the 240-260kw mark.

Cant really do much right now.

If i boost it up more with the new Apexi AVC-R that's in it, it'll ping.

Once the intercooler is on, it'll be fine to boost up.

But need to really upgrade the ECU they said.

phase #2 is a FMIC (600x300x76) hybrid style one and also a new front bar for the fitting of the FMIC.

phase #3 will be of course the ECU upgrade.

Get a PowerFC, you won't be disapointed. Going alot cheaper these days (Group buy on this forum & www.Nengun.com are selling them at good prices also)

I have just about finished my engine mods & got good results so far.

- New Garrett GT30 BB Turbo (500HP)

- New HKS cast manifold

- New HKS copy 50mm Wastegate & screamer pipe

- Apexi GT Spec FMIC

- Jasma 3.5" Exhaust (soon to arrive is a Greddy/Trust 4" titanium system

- K&N Pod filter.

- New Nismo 550cc Injectors

- New OS Giken Twin Plate clutch

- New Apexi PowerFC

- New Splitfire coils

- New Z32 AFM

- NewBosch 044 pump & surgetank in the boot.

- Blitz Dual SBC (electronic boost controller)

Result 285rwkw@20psi. I currently am using a 10psi wastegate spring, once I change it over to a 14.5 or 15 & put the new exhaust on, I should hit 300RWKW.

phase #2 is a FMIC (600x300x76) hybrid style one and also a new front bar for the fitting of the FMIC.

phase #3 will be of course the ECU upgrade.

What Injectors are you using? & are you using a Z32 AFM?

    • They're all horrible. X-Trails have had a nasty sounding 4cyl since forever, no matter what engine family it came from. The CVTs only made that worse. Then the whole Renault thing only made every Nissan that was contaminated by them even worse again. The only fun I've had in a X-Trail was having it blown sideways across a frozen Minnesota highway at 90 mph trying to make it to the airport to get out of the frozen hellhole of Hoth. Nearly died. Was great fun.
    • Alrighty, I'll have to grab a couple pics and type out something soon in another post. I haven't driven a modern X no, this would be the first one really. Yeah the rental boxes are always cheap as chips right? So I'd doubt that anyone was handing out GTs to go and abuse. But I s'pose I could be wrong for sure. New cars these days though? Pretty unimpressed with what I see now; 20 years and all that, like you said. It just kind of worked out to have these two cars now. I'm pretty pleased with that, don't need much else. I'm sure you lads are right about the temps and for sure, you wouldn't have much time to drive 'em down there if you all were like me. I do hate sweating all over the seats though😆
    • Let large companies that are making money off selling kits do the preliminary engineering for you. If they all do -10, then that is all you'll ever need. 
    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
