I recently upgraded my turbo and dump/front from a bitza set up that started with a split dump on the standard turbo, then a front pipe added on later, it was good for 212kw but limited due to the 2 1/2" dump and the turbo at it's limit, mind you after 18 mths @ 16 psi it was still good, then at some stage I noticed it wouldnt boost above 15psi, Dan (3lit3 32) reckoned it was the studs snapped on the manifold, he was right but not quite as I had cracked the manifold as well. So I got a turbo with dump and a second manifold and installed the lot myself, and after a delay due to dyno comps, I had noticed that the cat was only 2 1/2" and with the bigger dump, the exhaust note quite louder as well, Right Price installed a 3" cat and resonator for 400 and I was off for a retune, it made 312rwhp/232kw @ 14psi easily, the turbo is a bit laggier but seems to be more gruntier down low, if that makes sense, the exhaust note is alot gruntier as well but the resonator took the harsh bark out of it. my next step will be the injectors, 550cc should do me.

A few more pics of the whole works are HERE

Nobody can identify this turbo, GoFastBits said it was probably a HKS prototype, it is a BB and has american threads in it, Dan reckoned it be equivalent to a high flow and Peter Woodward my tuner said it looked like one off a Rotary :D .

Comes on hard at 4000 rpm but as you can see on the dyno chart the torque is way up there before that, the turbo and dump/front was second hand, I bought it for $530 in the qld for sale, being an older style turbo I think a new cartridge would see better spool times, as the the impeller for the boost side is steel and a nylon one may fix that.

    • Oh yeah forgot to also mention need to also unplug the IACV as well. Thanks for the reminder @MBS206 Unplugging the TPS takes it out of closed loop so you're able to screw down the IACV without the ECU trying to add/subtract timing to maintain the idle (not sure PowerFC can even do this, but Nistune and the OEM definitely does)
    • For sale is my 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T, tuned to 234 kW / 313 hp. I've had the car for a few years as my daily driver. The car is original (as far as Skylines go), with only a few minor upgrades to enhance performance and driving experience, as typical for such a car of its age. Overall, it is in great condition with no body rust, thanks to its earlier import date. It features a top-notch security system (not literally, but it's great!) with remote start and still functional 4-wheel steering via HICAS. It comes with several performance and handling upgrades, including:     Hypergear 450HP Turbocharger running 17 PSI boost, installed mid-2021 by Jaustech     550cc injectors     Nistune ECU     Front-Mount Return-Flow Intercooler     X-Force Stainless Steel Exhaust     Upgraded engine mounts     Bottom end bearings replaced     BC Coilovers     Lenso DR1 rims     Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 TL 245/40R18 97W tires, fitted early 2023 The interior is mostly stock, with a few additions:     Viper Satellite Tracking System with remote start     Bluetooth Double-Din Touchscreen Head Unit     Steering wheel cover Cons:     A few paint imperfections here and there     Driver’s seat shows more wear than the others. It's not torn at all, but I've added a seat cover to protect its condition. I also have a CarVX Vehicle History report available for serious buyers, so you don’t need to purchase it yourself. Price: $26,000 ONO.
    • I've had two suzukis in the past have an extremely hard time turning over and not starting after sitting for a few weeks. Ended up the alternator would seize up causing the starter to force. Same issue both times.  Maybe they're sourcing their alternators from the same place...
    • Ah right. Maybe my rb just loves chewing through batteries lol.
    • On the R34 can't you just unplug the IACV? This is the way I've always done it on the R33. Disconnect IACV, get it idling around 650rpm, and then do a power reset on the ECU to get it to relearn idle (factory ECU).   The big reason no one has touched on as to why you'd want to get the base idle right, is that it means the computer needs to make smaller adjustments to get a good idle at 700-750rpm.   Also, cleaning the IACV won't normally make the car suddenly idle lower or higher. The main issue with the IACV gumming up is that the valve sticks. This means the inputs the ECU gives, aren't translating to changes in air flow. This can cause idle choppy ness as the ECU is now needing to give a lot of input to get movement, but then it moves too far, and then has to do the same in reverse, and it can mean the ECU can't catch stalls quickly either.
