Ah yeah didnt think about that. Once you have a 4" intake, the 3" afm will become a restriction and also annoying changing diameters if you did leave it there.

What options are there to remain with a 3" intake. I know simon you will recommend the 4" intake but think about it from a stealth on the street point of view. Is it possible to get an anti surge housing with a 3" intake on a GT30?

on another set up we did on a mates street car same turbo as mine mounted on stock manifold. used a 4-3inch black silicon reducer and painted black hard pipe to the AFM. cant really tell that its a 4 inch intake on turbo unless you look right at it.

Thats a great idea, do you think it reduced power?

This seems to be a restriction for people trying to use reponsive turbos but still make ~275rwkw.

I dont understand, how is that related to "R33 Gts-t Turbo Recommendation, most responsive for 275rwkw"

Because on the street it will be just as fast as 275kw with his laggier turbo for example, I think you could get 260kw out of it if you used E85 quite easily.

theres no way its a restriction.. you can flow 300 rwkw or even 350 rwkw of air thro 3 inch pipe no worries.. think about intercooler pipes and how they flow large amounts of air under pressure and yet are around the 2.5 inch mark

i have a apexi ax53B70, had it tuned the other day and made 240kw on 18psi with 555cc injectors, pfc, z32, 3" exhaust, fmic. but was told i wont get any more out of it. pretty annoyed as i spent just under 2k on it and was told i would see 250 with ease. although i am very happy with the response :(

how much does a 3071 go for?

do you know which version of the ax53B70 you have? there are two different versions the 320ps one and the 380ps one. You may have the 320ps one which would explain the power?

Ok so after going through this thread it seems the garrett 3071 turbo is the best choice since it can achieve around the 280rwkw mark with the least lag???

Im from perth, would anyone know a rough price for one of these? also does it bolt onto my intake and dump pipe?

I just dont wanna get my stock r33 turbo highflowed only to get bored of it down the track and wished i had'nt skimped out, and bought something a bit more expensive.

No chance in a straight line. Maybe on a really tight track.

The HKS 2835 Pro S is pretty damn responsive.

I think the HKS 2835 Pro S turbo wins the prize of most responsive turbo to make 275rwkw on 98 fuel.

+1

very happy that I went that way

much love for the anti surge housing... i have 4 inch hardpipe straight to Air filter (afm is on other side of pipework) and the spooling sound is insane! greatest sound on earth hahaha

i'm running a 4-3" custom metal pipe off mine and yeh... sounds awesome

Yeah Thats what i bought...will hopefully post some results soon...

you will need to modify your intake pipe..as its 3 inch...

for the kit..3k...new

if your lucky you'll get a s/h one for half that ..If your game enough to go s/h turbo route you'll get a good BB jobbie and there is plenty that will make that power...but buyer beware...

EDIT>>Actually just looking may as well get this for the same price...More power just as responsive..

Yeah in a drag race the outright power would definitely win but around the street and tight hills it would be very close.

Seeking an opinion on this one. Like the price! Going for street use and response over max power.

Is that for an RB25? That wont make anywhere near 275rwkw on an RB25.

I think it will be too restrictive and lack any sort of top end. Just use a 0.63 housing on a GT30 turbo and it will be super responsive and wont restrict the top end as much.

When doing this do you still have the AFM mounted on the intake side? Or in the cooler piping?

If on the intake do you get any problems with reversion?

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4

      Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went?

      By sausagepianist · Posted

      Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was ￡307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell.

      As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?

      To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
