Can't help you if the turbo is to small, but as for exhaust, do you guys use "cutouts" down under? They are pretty popular in the states, like this combined with this.

IMHO if you drag race, the turn around and drive back is enough. If you drift/togue/gymkahna, then maybe, butas mentioned above, just let the car run for a bit it you get right off the track and park. I get my turbo/manifold glowing bright red at night when we are going down twistie back roads. 3 or 4 minutes later it's back to normal. As a matter of fact, I have a turbo timer, but I don't normally leave it on just to show off the fact that I ahve one, and when it comes to needing to leave the car run for a bit, I just leave it running as opposed to turning on the turbo timer.

It's already been around for a couple years. I think they were having some kind of "development problems" which is why they put the idea out there, but didn't sell it yet. Maybe making it last on high hp daily driven cars is still a big hurdle.

$500 isn't too bad if it works I guess. Holset does the same kind of thing with variable vanes in the exhaust housing effectively changing the a/r. It makes a 600rwhp turbo spool like a stock turbo, but the problem is it's electronically controlled via the factory Dodge ECU and people have yet to make it work real well in a non-OEM application.

It effectivly halves your a/r then opens up at a certain psi when the turbo is well on it's way to being spooled. It's kind of like a poor man's variable geometry turbo. I'd be worried about it standing up to high temps. I have no doubt it works, but how well and at what cost/pain in the butt are my questions. And basing whether or not something works off of whether or not HKS or Garrett makes it is rediculous.

I see thread pop up about this every few months on other boards. I've never actaully seen anybody use it other than that one write up with the Supra, but it requires a NON-split pulse/twin scroll manifold to work. It's interesting for sure, but I've got a split pulse manifold, so I'm not going to be a guinea pig. How much do they cost?

Sorry, forgot to mention that was $800 USD. I'm a yank living in japan remember

My personal preference is Nismo. I've just seen what the shop I hang out at does, and most of the cars I've seen with Nismo injectors have had been able to run at a leaner idle, have had more consistant plug readings (color) across the set, and the used set we sent off to get flow tested were all with in 1cc of each other. I haven't seen any real bad things with the sards, it's just the few I have seen had to be run a little richer at idle than they normaly tune for, and the plugs looked a little different. Again, it's not that I've seen bad things with Sard, it's just I've been nothing but impressed with the Nismo's. I even paid for a set of new ones which are like $800 or so up here---which is saying something since I'm a cheap SOB that always tries to run ebay/second hand parts/knock off brand stuff when able.

PM replied too, but just for anybody else, I found a blitz kit for real cheap, so no templates, and I don't have VCT due to my HKS 264's.

I have never met a group of people as worried about the sound their turbo makes at light throttle gear change. It doesn't matter. Quit worrying about it. There must be ten of these threads a week.

What do you guys want to know? I've been running the 26 intake and ITB's for a few years on my 25.

LOL, did you look at my location? I can usually track down parts pretty well here, but AWD 25's are one of the hard ones. Are you on ZY?

I'm not at all an expert with them, but don't you guys have pretty easy access to AWD sump to 2WD adapters down there? You could always use one of those so you could use the easier to find 2WD RB25 blocks, over even an RB30 block

LOL, I've seen those before. Man I wish we had E85 in japan. How does the wastegate sound re-routed into the exhaust compared to an internally gated turbo?

ANY POWER MODS SINCE YOUR LAST DYNO???

Low 80's just daily driving, upper 80's/low 90's beating on it or running a/c for me here in sunny Okinawa.

Yes, it would run like shit. You can't just slap on an AFM (besides stock) and expect it to work.

356rwkw?!?! Wow! That thing looks BONE STOCK! I love it!

Yes, it's only a lowly RB25 before anybody asks..........

What weight oil do you run? If it's something like 20W-50 and it's cold out, it can get pretty high. What's the bypass spring pressure on a stock pump?

Mine didn't have HKS stamped on them, but they did have 264 on them.

I was under the impression the surge port is the same thing as what holset calls their "map width enhancement" groove which fights off REAL compressor surge i.e. compressor "chopping" at WOT because you are running it outside what would normally be it's efficiency range or something like a mis-matched hot side. The slots/holes have the effect of making the efficiency islands on the compressor map wider. If they also cut down on light throttle lift noise, cool, but that's not their intended design function.

That's what I thought you were talking about the whole time. That is what people are usually posting up here about, not actual compressor surge, or even full throttle lifting/shifting. I was saying it seems like a lot of people are worried about the noise that happens when you lift during light throttle acceleration. It sounds like to me you or you mechanic are confused about what a ported shroud does/would do in your case. Bottom line, if your worried about "shuffle" or "flutter", don't. Ported shrouds don't help with that anyways.

Jeez, some of you guys are real morons when it comes to just repeating previous things typed with out actually knowing. If you don't know, shut up. Yes it will work, but you'll have to re-pin a couple of wires in the loom. I believe two of the injector wires, and maybe a few others. Is it worth it though when stock 26 ECU's are so cheap on ebay? Hell no. Get the 26 ecu.

They would be big enough for anything a HX35 could throw at it--higher than 25psi I'd think. I always lean towards bigger injectors though. More room to grow. Anybody who tells you that you'll get bad gas millage or shitty idle if you run big injectors on a lower hp car is an idiot. Anything small than 1000cc is good as long as they flow evenly and have good spray patterns. Ebay "venom" injectors are not good. 740cc Nismo's are awesome.
