yeah thought it was from ATP

bought the same turbo for a customer awhile back with the same anti surge compressor housing but with the .63 exhaust housing and the anti surge realli does make a difference if ur going to be using the .63 housing

what sort of difference are we talking? I have the .63 and no surge issues. boost control, shit yes, surge, no. I do have 256/264 cams though.

-33- also has a .63 IW. He hasn't mentioned surge either, just the boost control problems

good choice of tuner too btw Gary

Yes it's a funny thing Dave, some cars have surge, some don't. Cams will definately be on the cards for the future. I'm hoping that will reduce the overlap for more timing.

Yeah, I think Yavus is great, takes a cautious attitude to tuning. Don't you just get sick and tired of tuners that shake your hand then tell you to come back in the afternoon to pick it up ? I want to be there to tell them how far to go and make sure tune for drivability, fuel economy, safety and only then power.

I've been there every time my car has been on the dyno.

I don't know that cautious is the right word, but he is certainly very careful during the initial stages of a tune making sure all the basics are covered before starting to chase power.

I can guarantee he will push you to jam some boost into it. :P

Or maybe he just does that to me because he knows i'll let him.....

And I can guarantee I'll let him jam some boost into it. BUT, 270 is what I'm after so we'll see. Buy the way, I'm thinking peak boost on this turbo would be around 22lbs. The compressor map seems to indicate 17lbs as right in the meat of the turbo's potential. What do you think ?

It'll depend on the engine really. I couldn't run more than 21psi with my old setup before valve float, others have run more.

Because of the boost control problems i haven't really been able to push mine but it was making 255-260 pretty easily on 16psi. You may need a bit more boost as you don't have cams in there.

    • These are small points I should actually add to my original post. GKtech makes an extended slave line for this conversion. It's what I use, and it works well. You'll also need a CD009 slave cylinder.  S/R Chassis Z33/Z34 Conversion braided clutch line As for transmission sensors, you'll need to both extend the wiring and replace the connectors. I can't recall which is which, but one is your neutral switch and the other the reverse switch. As they are just switches, just test for continuity with your transmission in neutral or reverse to figure out which is which. Connectors:  VQ35 neutral Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties VQ35 Reverse Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties 
    • I’ll try and see it could be the release bearing. As for the 4th gear grind maybe clutch doesn’t disengage properly cause it is slightly like very slightly hard to go into first could be due to the slab cylinder pin being short uni clutch is a twin plate.   Ive attached some assembly photos hopefully you can open the link and see maybe detect what’s wrong https://share.icloud.com/photos/0dc2YvW__Hl6jl-l2_0jejjpg https://share.icloud.com/photos/09e0jkWOK-vP48c1cfY6u3ViA https://share.icloud.com/photos/0b4rDmh5R7pK7fb1VtND73a3g https://share.icloud.com/photos/05eeUi_6dC4DVi80jOUYDgb0g https://share.icloud.com/photos/06335TgY1XxyIJal_wkdQLhzw
    • Yeah for sure that is peddle adjustment 
    • What are your thoughts on this after having it for a while, worth getting?
    • Downshifts are harder on transmissions than upshifts, the input shaft naturally slows down once disconnected from the engine so the synchros aren't doing all the work. There's no "natural" tendency for an input shaft to increase RPM. Something is not right there, I don't have a great answer on what. You can try a dedicated GL4 75W90, I plan to switch to Motorcraft XT-M5-QS which is supposedly a very good 75W90 for NB Miatas which have a weirdly sensitive transmission from the factory. I would chase down why your clutch is making a hissing noise, that's not normal. It might be no big deal but in the absence of anything else to investigate I would look at that.
