The Mafia

if the car is getting hot, and is underpowered, then there is a very good chance that your timing is retarded. Your CAS might be stuffed. I'd be checking the timing with a timing light, and then if you do adjust the cas, I wouldn't be driving it around hard until a retune is done.

Anyone that puts a BOV on for sound is just a plain f**king dickhead.

A turbo spins at up to 150,000 rpm. Do you think rebuilding it yourself is a good idea with regards to balancing, etc. Plus is it worth the risk destroying a rb26 just to save a couple of hundred and "experiment" on things that garret has already spent millions on doing? There are plenty of tested and proven turbos in the dyno results thread. I've also got a pair of genuine HKS 2530s for sale that have about 5,000kms on them. Rear housings are HPC'd too. Lol. Sorry if I sounded harsh - just seen some really stupid things posted lately.

If you are even considering this, I suggest that you never touch a turbo again, and let a mechanic do any work from now and on.

Find an old RB30 at a wrecker and steal it. They fit.

Get a new AFM

Sure do mate

39,000? I bet it was 139,000. NEVER trust an imports odometer. They are so easy to change.

Sounds interesting actually

From a tuners perspective, most I've made was around 230rwkw.

Then yes.

What kind of studs??

I haven't heard anything about decking and shamfering either

Remove the stock pump, and attach the Bosch in its place in the factory fuel rail. It has it's own factory sock. Maybe get a fresh sock from Nissan for about $5?

Dude no offense but you are 100% wrong. Rb25 definitely have squirters. Every rb25 I have had the sump off has had more squirters than a Asian porno

Why would you pull it down if you only got a bit of detonation? Did it blow?

Why would you buy a car that is playing up?

Your Mrs is wearing an awesome shirt. Quote to her: "I'm going build my own park, with blackjack, and hookers..."

And people still persist in fitting atmo bovs

Nope, so many mount internally. Can be easily mounted on the factory bracket. 040s are absolute shit due to the pickup design. I don't care what anyone says - its not a sock factory like design so it's shit.

eBay fuel pump on a GTR? Are the turbos eBay jobs too? Walboro and eBay are two wrongs. Two wrongs don't make a right. Bin it and make him buy a genuine Bosch 044 from a proper parts store.

This is why you refresh a buggered engine - only costs a lot more when you have to start repairing damage. Especially bent valves.

After reading this bit, it makes me think you'd rather sound like a tool than have a car that runs correctly.

rofl at the idiot that owned it before you. Really must have thought he was cool, fluttering and screaming everywhere

I'll let you know. How many topless waitresses should I bring?
