The Mafia

I had the exact same problem with my GT3037 and Walboro. You do not need a surge tank. That piece of shit Walboro 342 "255lph" pump, are crap. Once they go beyond 60psi, their flow goes to shit. Do some maths - 18psi of boost (FPR is 1:1) + 42psi rail pressure + a few psi in pressure drop = 65psi+ of pump pressure needed. If your boost goes a bit higher, or other reasons, the pump needs to make even more pressure. Once your flow drops off, the car is starving of fuel and leaning out. If you don't do anything about this soon, your engine will blow. My advice, and I did this - Buy a Nismo 275lph pump, install, and all problems will go away. They are a complete drop in unit, come with the bracket, sock, cables, etc, and it takes about 5 minutes to put them in. Don't buy the bosch 040, their pickup is absolute shit. If you do want to go cheap, buy a bosch 044 and do a direct replacement of your walboro. You will most likely need a re-tune too, because if your existing tune was opened right up to accomodate for a failing \ inadequate pump, a new pump will make it as rich as hell. Your tuner should have seen this, instead it looks as if they have gotten lazy, or left it like this so you'll come back to be charged more. Attached is a picture of the Walboro dying in the ass.

Bingo... Is your powerfc tuned? Seriously... It will blow up if you keep into it, drive it steady.

Ummm... Riiiiiiight..........You can put your pants back on now...

Sounds like detonation. And I'm thinking if you keep it up your engine is going to blow very soon. Find out why it's detonating and fix it.

Ashton is by far one of the best. Pity he doesn't do the performance stuff anymore. Never seen someone so quick, accurate and neat. Oh and dyshonest - I think you stuffed up there, you've bolted the turbo onto the wrong side...

You wouldn't need to know that if you weren't going to buy one. You do realize these turbos usually last a run or two on the dyno and then blow? Make sure you post back your results so that we can say that we told you so. Of you do decide to smarten up, buy a kando.

I really don't know why people punish themselves buying turbos like these...

But, I'm going to tell you the engine looks pretty f**ked anyway. Been flogging it or something? You're going to need about $5k to $10k to rebuild depending on what you do.

Put a cap full of oil down into the cylinder. If the compression goes up, it's time to pull the engine out.

MHE are awesome. Craig and Gary are good lads. Always quality work from there.

Lol

You're going to find out soon enough. Make sure you post back and let us know exactly how many thousand it is.

What if you just not be a tool and plumb your exhaust in correctly. Screamers sound like shit. They are illegal, and you're begging to get caught. In NSW, expect thousands of dollars in fines.

So you're not concerned that this contamination is also going through all of your main and big end bearings? Unknown turbos are not worth it. Youll only be disappointed. Go and get yourself a GTRS or something smaller if you want response. Surely a GTRS is responsive enough though. Also, buy a full bolt on kit to save yourself the trouble down the track.

Do you want the actual board that covers the spare wheel too?

I'd rathe not mention the shop -They do good work. It was the contractor they had come in to do my mates car. Disappointed. Can't believe he even tried to cover it up.

you know what? I'm over it. If you want to be a c%nt, then fine. Not sure what the need is to have an attitude like yours, but, that's your problem not mine.

I wouldn't really laugh at that. My mate is a 6"6 half Maori diesel fitter. Just proves how much of a f**ken wanker you are dishonest.

Standard diff mate

Just be careful. Fitting a 500hp cartridge to bored out stock housings never ends as well as expected. Tune to to about 18psi but only within detonation and inlet air temp limits. It's hard to say where the efficiency is in an unknown bastardized turbo.

Depends what this "custom high flow" turbo is? eBay specia?

Back from the dead.... (don't ask) This is what is still up for grabs: Left and Right side Round Lights $100 each Dash Surround (Removed ready to post) - $50 Climate Control Unit (Removed ready to post) - $50 Front Brakes, rotors and hubs - $400 for the lot Both Doors, windows etc - $200 each Door Cards (Removed ready to post) - Free with doors Rear seat (Removed ready to post) - $50 Parcel Shelf (Removed ready to post) - $30 All Boot Carpets and linings (Removed ready to post) - $100 All Dash bits (Removed ready to post) - Ask for price on whatever you want Series 2 Dash Cluster with 120,000kms (Removed ready to post) - $70 Series 1 Dash Cluster with 100,000kms (Removed ready to post) - $70 Aircon Compressor (Removed ready to post) - $100 Brake Booster etc - $100 Side Skirts (Cracked in some spots that aren't in cosmetic view, will be a bitch to post) - $150 Add postage onto the prices. I cannot control postage costs, so for things like the sideskirts, and brakes, you have to factor in the extra cost due to size or weight. You are welcome to choose a carrier - But don't blame me if the carrier damages the goods. I'll try my best to post them packaged carefully and safely.

I can't believe this town... My Mate takes his car into my favorite fabrication shop - contractor does some work instead of usual staff - contractor wanker proceeds to bad mouth me even though he's never met me, seen my work, etc. He'd "just heard some things" while pulling himself over the counter - calls my mate and asks the stupidest question (says the new bovs won't fit because the old one is in the way..?) - then SNAPS the front grille clean in half, and tries to hide it by "melting" the plastic together with something like a soldering iron. Grille is $600 unpainted from Nissan. My mate is f**ken pissed, and I mean really pissed. Dodgiest flamin mongrel in the world.... If I ever go back to his shop I'll be specifically asking for them to not let this clown near my car. Mackay is full of dishonest shit stains.

You've probably just blown a cooler pipe off mate

But it doesn't look like the new turbo made any extra power, just laggier down low? What kind is it?
