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.

    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
    • Shall we... wake you up when September ends?  
    • I got the Repco video recommended on YouTube.  
    • Welcome Mark. Do you have a Skyline or are you looking to get one?
