The stock one can externally vent too, if you stick a grub screw in the little bypass hole...

Why don't you just block it off until the intake is fabricated properly?

Can't be stuffed taking the car to exhaust joint and they wanted to charge me $350 for a intake pipe. lol beside I've already bought the part.

add:

Good to hear mate, and that's a very good price for everything isn't it? ;)

Yea man thats GTRS's performance with better response at half the cost. fken nice to drive. can't wait to get it boosted and tuned.

I really hope the prototype works then we will be concentrating in the GenEses development, the principle on that is having a turbo car idle at 1~2 psi based on a 500HP turbo, so people can take off and drive on boost all times. Making "turbo lag" history.

I see no practical way of this being possible. This would be an amazing piece of technology. How you can create positive boost on idle with the throttle shut is beyond me. It doesn't sound possible. How do you create a turbine structure capable of creating positive boost from the exhaust flow of an idle engine? The SS2 Ive got is almost like it is off when there is no load on the engine. I can rev up to 4k and control my foot to create nearly no pressure at all and when I plant my foot it comes on like a switch, but having something always creating pressure needs an opposing force.

And now I am getting jealous of this new turbo you have built which could see 280-300rwkw with stock turbo response :( Can my turbo be modded to suit?

Sargerx8. To easily explain what you don't understand put a boost gauge before your throttle body. You will have substantial boost it just isnt getting to your plennum/boost gauge. Thats why it appears to come on so quick.

I'm not sure working to have a turbo boost on idle would be a good thing. Off boost driving is actually great, not something I would personally want to give up.

I'm not sure how successful these turbos would be in the wider community....

Its definitely not something for all users but there will almost definitely be a market for it out there.

If he can make something like this which can be somehow controlled, by a valve or something, to switch off this feature, I think there would be no one driving a skyline without it. If you can make something happen, you can control how it happens, when it happens and why it happens. A car engine was built ground up, everything that a car can do can be controlled in literally every single way. Boost, fuel, air flow, knock, lights, wipers, etc. If his intentions are to control it using something from the engine flowing or pushing something on the turbo, something similar to a wastegate, or electronic gate could control it to switch it off when it is not needed.

I still think its impossible.

But that isn't the engine boost level so it's irrelevant. The throttle body is causing the restriction and that restriction is causing positive pressure, potentially you could open the throttle body and the engine would see no boost.

Stao's statement was incorrect and misleading

That 2 psi is pre-throttle body pressure. So when throttle is given the car launches with 2 psi of boost and build up from there. Still thinking about it, at this stage its 55% looking possible.

Will it be controllable? Can it be turned on and off or a fixed feature?

I dont understand the theory... Pre-throttle body pressure means nothing? As Simon said, the butterfly is the restriction so measuring boost against that doesn't mean much. When the throttle body opens and the motor needs airflow, the positive pressure will drop. It's about volume of air, not pressure? I fail to see how youre going to create boost at idle when there is no load.

That said, if it can be done then I'm very happy to be proved wrong. I just don't get it.

Still thinking about it, As soon as throttle opens the intake pressure drops, so pointless of building up pressure pre-throttle unless its lots of pressure. Need some thing spins quickly, makes enough pressure to fill the drop with bit of room for positive boost. Then switch it self off when turbo comes on.

That didn't work for me, the stock bov just kept on getting sucked open by vacuum.

The standard BOVs have 2 diaphragms as far as I know, the BOV's upper diaphragm will be sucked up when under vacuum, which lifts the whole piston setup upwards and allows the BOV to breathe through the return pipe. Then once manifold pressure is no longer under a certain level of vacuum, the spring inside the upper chamber of the BOV will return it to a closed position. This is why people always point out that stock BOVs (GTR included) are open on idle, and the reason why I now need to buy an aftermarket one - mine's running atmo hence breathing unfiltered air :stupid:

I dont even understand what he is proposing to do

Imagine a T25 from a CA18 on a 6L V8.

The second you open the throttle you will see boost. Stao wants to make something like that which still works like the turbos we currently use there after. Eliminating the wait for power to come on, and has quoted he wants it to be a 500hp item.

Sounds good on the surface, yet as stated most of the more experienced users would appreciate some level of lag. But who knows, maybe the technology can be fine tuned further so that there's more leeway than currently being discussed.

I cut my factory BOV open and there is just a diaphragm, one spring and one piston. Once the bay pass whole is blocked the diaphragm gets sucked upwards and the piston opens. I sort of got it to work by placing a one way valve into the pipe that connects to the bov to inlet manifold.

As for the GenEses, I'm planning to use a high powered electrical motored duction fan working with a turbo. Can be high voltage external batteries based. The Fan only operates till the turbo takes over. Depending on how long the battery pack can last, we can wire 2 or more battery packs and have some thing switching between the battery packs when one is running low. That battery will have a 12V charger charging it when laid off. So a super responsive high efficiency turbo is required as a base for this setup.

Above is just a theory thing at early stage there will be lot more in it. Might or might not work and the finished product might be too expansive to sale. But would be good project to give a shot at proven its possible or not possible with what we've got.

There are lots of failed earlier examples that I've already known, so no need to post that. But do post constructive ideas and tell every one what you think that might make this work.

So electric supercharger at low revs, or it will assist the turbo in spooling up?

I have an idea, could you drive the turbo from the crank (like a supercharger) but use some sort of sprocket so that if the exhaust wants to turn the shaft faster than engine speed it can without issue? So basically it only saps energy from the crank at low engine speeds when the turbo wouldn't normally be spinning that speed, when there is enough exhaust energy the turbine takes over and spins it.

How does that sound? I don't know how you'd route the drive from the crank to where the turbo normally sits but I'm sure with enough money it could be done.

His idea of the electric fan is a good idea. I was thinking about having it belt driven yesterday when I read the initial idea. I don't think it will work. These turbos spin at 100000krpm. Our engines do what, 7? On idle the turbo will already be outspinning the engine...

There are these wonderful inventions called gears... how do you think super chargers work?

    • Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 馃槕. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

    • Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.
    • Hope the cans went down well at least 
    • 255 can't go wrong with the price.
    • When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
