hey guys , just wondering those of you who have a 34 what type of turbos are you running? as im looking to up the cheaply high flowed turbo i have (stock high flowed) as i dont want to go down the path of a aftermarket computer yet .. any suggestions would be good !

Reason for keeping it stock looking - i want to re-use the turbo heatsheild as cops these days are a pain !! rather not want to get defected

Cheers

I was looking at upgrading my turbo to a Apexi AX53B70 as it's low mount, internal gated and apexi said "The AX53B70 turbine power output is around 600HP depending upon application" it uses the ihi catridge so can still be rebuilt with apexi dead... another choice would be a GT-RS which would keep everything looking stock as it comes in a bolt on kit, depends how much you wana spend? wont get full potential out of teh turbo with a stock ecu unless remaped.

Btw my turbo is stock

There is 3 AX53B70s the p21 is used as a twin set up on GTRs, the P25 is rated to 380hp, I have this it is really responsive and made 245rwkw at 14psi on my car, so there is a bit more in it yet and the P28 which is a big high mount job thats the 600hp one

The P25 would be a good choice Vish I love mine but you may have trouble getting one. Apexi turbos are rare these days! I know I have been unable to get my hands on a RX6 kit, websites say they have them but when you try to order they say they are out of stock

ah cool gives me some ideas on them rite now im running a gcg stage 1 high flow which was at that time cheaper since i was on a budget .. spool up is great power wise it lacks mid to high end... hence upgrading..

Its hard to buy them brand new as they are a discontinued item, i have seen a couple go through yahoo auctions for around $800 second hand

Thanks guy i tried searcing a few places without much luck not many people seem to know about them .. any one knows anything about a stage 2 highflow or slide overmax ?

Seriously mate their isn't much point in upgrading the turbo (which is already decent) until you get the best out of it by way of after market management. That said the slide max high flow is a good thing, I have seen one make 200rwkw at 5psi

    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later. 
    • Silly question, as I bet you've checked already, but the motor turns over by hand yes? I suspect Neil has a spare starter, though if not, I believe I have a spare R33 (or two) starter.
    • Yeah just run one of those posts to the Link like GTSBoy said. From google it looks like a "mishimoto boost controller" is a manual boost controller. Since you already have the link just buy any MAC valve and plumb it in where the mishimoto is now. Wires to the solenoid should come from the Link's / standard loom boost control wiring (I guess you have an r32, not sure if it is gtst or gtr, if it is GTR where is a 2 pin connector near the engine bay fuse box/injector resistor for that purpose, assuming the standard boost controller is gone)  
    • No. The ECU's hose is for a connetcion between the plenum (assuming single throttle body, not ITBs) and the ECU's internal MAP sensor. This is the primary load measurement of the ECU - so you need to get this one right. This has NOTHING to do with the boost contol. The wastegate also needs to see a boost signal - but it is actually far better for it NOT TO COME FROM THE PLENUM (again, assuming single TB, and not ITBs). This should come from the turbo's compressor housing (assuming there is a nipple on there, which there might well not be), or on the boost pipe somewhere between the turbo and the TB. On the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler is usually most convenient. The boost controller is then located between that boost source and the wastegate, ACCORDING TO THE CORRECT PLUMBING DRAWING FOR THAT BOOST CONTROLLER. There is no general diagram or instruction that will be correct for every case. Then the other ports on the plenum are for purposes such as Duncan described. If the boost controller has an internal MAP sensor, for a boost display, etc, then it will want to be hooked up there, alongside the ECU and the FPR.
    • Ok gotcha, so one post to fpr  another to bov  and I have the mishimoto boost controller and a link g4+ so I’d just have the tuner set it up properly. For the last two from plenum post throttle to  ecu/ boost controller, I know that I have a hose coming from the ecu that I was confused about so I assume that’s what connect to the boost controller from the ecu? And then the last is just from plenum to boost controller then to wastegate?
