All its got internally are Tomei Type-B Poncams (260/260). Evidently the tuner couldn't get the boost over 16psi or 18psi (got conflicting info on this from owner and tuner). He switched the Apexi AVC-R to the Blitz SBC i-Color thinking that was the problem, but still not able to get boost over 16/18psi. He thought the wastegate had issues. I am thinking that the EBC might be hooked up wrong or a wild-shot that b/c the speedometer is broken, the SBC i-Color is not functioning correctly since speed signal is supposed to be hooked up and working with it. I doubt that is the issue though. It is either a wastegate issue or just the nature of this setup most likely. I agree on the housings, it sounds tempting to just slap a housing on, but if I really want to get what I want out of the car, I need to just switch to a different setup. Maybe even all the way down to some 2510's or 2860's style turbos w/ internal gates. Otherwise, it would just be a single setup, maybe T04S 60-1. I could even buy a stock motor, take this whole motor and turbo setup out and build this motor while driving a stock setup. I really can't decide what to do about this. All I know now is I am stuck with a bad@$$ turbo setup and not enough motor. Something has to give and a 2.8L stroker setup can't be done overnight or within my current budget.

No Twin P13 setup? If STATUS was able to swap the housings and get good response, I'm hoping I can do the same. Just need to pick housings and find them I guess. All assuming I am reading STATUS's info right.

Would the housings from Power Enterprise work? http://www.powerenterpriseusa.net/products.../RX6R/rx6r.html Scroll to bottom to see them. They are pricey, but the only thing I can find so far. Hoping someone else has a good source for replacement housings I can use on these turbos!

Attached are pics of the engine bay and a pic I found of the kit from eBay Hong Kong! Gold!! (previous owner didn't have intakes anymore, so that's another issue to deal with) More pics of my R32: http://www.flickr.com/photos/upscaleauto/s...57624745250433/ GT3076R 406whp STi: http://www.flickr.com/photos/upscaleauto/s...57624745066001/ 370Z I am selling: http://www.flickr.com/photos/upscaleauto/s...57624212686723/

Nice videos! the turbos have P20 housings I believe. Is it possible to source smaller housings still? I had not thought about that, but that is a very good idea. Any direction you can offer on that would be very appreciated! What size housings did you end up using? Also, my kit is called the V-Max SPL Kit? Did I read that right? If so, thats good to know!!

I was considering swapping out the wastegate, but again, flange issues. It is a 52mm wastegate with 51mm flange. Not much out there will swap into its place. I also was thinking about it more and realized that this kit performs sluggishly by nature on a stock 2.6L so the wastegate is not likely bad anyway.

I have actually thought about running ONE of these and keeping the other for a spare. That would be feasible to try if only the flanges weren't so darn hard to work with. If someone knows where I can get an affordable non-custom single turbo manifold to suit one of these please tell me! haha

I am located in the United States, near Charlotte, North Carolina. I just got the car recently. I traded a GT3076R STi (406whp) for it. The STi had amazing response and drove like a dream on the streets. It took me a few drives to get anything out of the R32 as the cars drive so differently. Babying the GTR wouldn't work like on the STi which would get up and go very quickly, so I quickly realized I had to show the car who's boss lol. Getting up into the 5500rpm range, I finally believed the previous owner who claimed 436whp on the dyno. The only problem was the lag and mismatched setup for the motor which is bone stock except TOMEI Poncams Type-B.

Thread back from the dead I have an R32 GTR with the Apexi RX6 "Isamu" Twin Turbo kit. I am trying for the life of me to figure out how to get response out of this kit. It was on the car when I bought the car and the car is tuned with HKS F-Con, nearest HKS tuner is very far away so I am pretty much stuck with this setup for now. Any tips? For some reason I am unable to make over 16-18psi with either Apexi AVC-R or Blitz SBC i-Color (maybe wastegate issue?). Boost range is about 5500+rpm. 437whp on current tune, all top end. Is there anyone else out there using this kit on the street that can offer some pointers or wants to work together on some ideas?
