hi, i am newbie here -- thanks for all the info posted. just bought a 2001 ar-x with 160k, mint condition but the turbo is whistling.

what r the best options.

how much to replace with a good aftermarket jobbie?

and with 160k on the clock is it silly to go for something with more power?

any recs for a good turbo?

can anybody in auckland recommend a good shop? also there are some suspension awd drive issues... if anybody in auck could txt me on 027 202 1996 i would appreciate it.

You may find the whistling is normal, best to find someone else with an M35 in NZ and let them hear it, it may just well be the normal noise that the turbo makes while operating.

Best options if you have a look at the turbo thread we started not long ago (it's got some good information in there) is to high-flow the existing Garrett that is on the car. The turbo is located in such a tight hot space under the bottom of the engine that not much else will fit or function there.

Jetwreck has just high-flowed his in the last few months and from memory he is now over the 100 000k mark. Just depends if the car has been looked after and you think you are going to get a few years more use out of it a high-flow would be ideal :yes:

      I’m hosting a bunch of execs in the McLaren box on Saturday. If you’re around I’ll come say hi, and see if I can sneak out some freebies.

      Coc or nox of nissan skyline

      Yes. All of this. But even when you get the NOx as low as you can go on an RB, it will no doubt still be way too high. Same with CO and HCs. The tech and the tuning time just isn't there.

      Boxes of oil?

      Dang. I love the little 'oil used' bingo card on the side.   🤣  Well, now they can use a box and an oil-filled goon.

      Many many moons ago, I was chatting with Andy Wyatt, about his auto ignition tuning. One of the HUGE things he said to me, when tuning for power, right where you hit peak ignition timing for your max torque, dramatically increases NOx emissions. He was finding in testing, particularly on engines you could advance timing beyond peak torque, that backing the ignition timing off a couple of degrees only made for a small drop in torque (compared to if you keep backing it off further the same amount of degrees) but dramatically reduced NOx emissions. I'd say targetting for 14.7, and he's even mentioned in some scenarios going slightly leaner, and pulling a few degrees of IGN timing will help pass for emissions quite a lot. However, who tunes an RB for emissions

      Exhaust silencers/varex exhausts

      The main stuff from.Vibrant I see is more their intercooler piping, and everyone raving about their clamps, but when I looked it was about $150 per clamp... I was a bit   I also thought the public price SP had up was high. As Mark said, a normal exhaust shop can fab them. It was many years ago that I had a full exhaust built, but for a full turbo back exhaust, and 2 custom built mufflers, plus a high flow cat, was about $1,100, and that was fully installed, drive in, drive out. I believe SP was about $900 for 2 mufflers, just supplied   These days, I just buy the material and built it myself, because I need to stretch my $$$
