Hey Stao - if my AX53B70 ever goes kaput do you think you could make something up for me with the housings off it? It looks like it could do with a couple more mm in the both the compressor and turbine wheels. So far it has been nothing but rock solid but I only use at 1bar max. Thought I'd ask as I wouldn't mind pushing it a bit more.

I'm only looking for 250-260rwkw, I figure the turbine housing on this would be ideal for that power level.

Yeh well I wouldn't expect it to be a hell of a lot, but considering I'm chasing a restriction in my setup somewhere, I just want to know that everything is as good as it can be.

Run it without a dump pipe :whistling:

The problem with large internal gate is boost control. means it will have more boost tappering off in general as there will be more load on the actuator. It is a bit of a concern on the new .82 IW housing assembly, might need to run a 2~3 actuator setup or some thing similar to eliminate boost drop.

one off 38mm internal gate SS1 turbine housing.

Have big gate keeps the turbine housing cooler, but harder to boost control. how ever also depending on applications, we do get XR6 BA turbo waste gate jobs often. From my past experiments bigger gate drops more boost. How ever that was before the innovation of all the wastegate controlling methods that I've used today, So might not have the same drop behavior, while makes more power on lesser boost just like having an external gate.

And yes the machined 3inch Vband adaptor fits All .63 and .82 ATR43 series.

With way too much time on my holiday in Japan to catch up on some reading and not spending as much as anticipated etc I've made a list of jobs to do hopefully before end of the year.

Buy an Adj ex gear and dial in both cams as they are both currently retarded.

Modify or change dump pipe til it matches turbo perfectly. Awaiting Stao's results currently on new v-band piece.

Quieten down rest of exhaust

Section off pod filter and set up a cold air intake

Swap internals of plumb back BOV as I blocked atmo port but it keeps reverting. Need recirc port to open first.

Gas up air con.

And for good measure install WMI :whistling:

Will order bits tomorrow so it starts arriving as I get home :)

We were able to round down the edges right up the gasket.

But unable to open her right up as the walls were getting thin.

Yeah prob only 10mm

She'll be right! Still much better than before!

Should get tuned by Trent next week so will see how the results go

Please let me know your date, I would like to come and witness your tune and take some video footages. cheers

No problem will do!

Getting a mechanic friends to do the work out of hours so could be a one or two weekend job, pending if things go to plan or if we have time.

Haven't booked at exact time with Trent yet but he said he could squeeze me in any time. But will let you know!

Did you get a genuine nissan gasket from JJR for the dump pipe too Tony?

Yup got a genuine turbo gasket set but not from JJR. Including the gasket from the turbo to dump pipe.

Parts to go on this weekend:

  • SS2 Turbo
  • Manifold from Stao which has been opening up a bit for better flow
  • ID 1000 Injectors
  • 3Inch JJR bellmouth dump pipe
  • Cometic plenum gasket (When I do the injectors)
  • Cometic manifold gasket
  • Genuine turbo gasket kit
  • New nuts and bolts

I'm not sure if the stock R34 plenum gasket is rubber or not. you need to get the metal one with rubber O rings in them. I found the rubber ones gets blown out under high boost.

    • Yeah good point, it won't flash on indicator that way, so plan B, just another wire to run from under the dash which makes it a bigger job 30 to indicator + globe side 86 tapped into 12v input to flasher relay under the dash (has 12v when indicators on, nothing when no indicators) 87a to headlight parker + 87 to original indicator + chassis side 85 to chassis/earth Now it will flash with indicators and be solid on with parkers
    • FWIW, that's the only colour I'd buy it in
    • I am having issues I believe with the throttle body. The butterflies only open about 1mm on the bench at full throttle. Is this what is supposed to happen? does it use the motor for the rest? I am able to manually open them up the hole way but it sounds like it is on gears.
    • Currently at 380rwkw with 2860 -5's & b cams on e85, trying to make it have a bit more torque/usable power down low.    Ive googled the v cams and most sites say discontinued, is there anywhere you can still get them?
    • Most hardlines are available new still. But unless they're rusted to the point of needing replacement you can just zinc or cadmium plate them to keep them going for decades to come. Regarding the turbo drains it really depends. Braided lines might be better if it's a straighter path than OEM but I would not assume braided teflon lines will never leak. Teflon is a very durable material but you can still abrade, erode, or otherwise compromise its integrity. The return hoses on the bright side are not that hard to access relative to a full turbo removal so if things go wrong you can always put it back to stock. You can very easily drive yourself insane analyzing every little change, or maybe that's just me.
