So is it a T04 Comp housing or a T03 one still???

If it's not a T04 front housing then you've got a T3 Hi-flowed. Not a T3/4.

I had a T3/4 and it hit 13psi by 4200rpm.

Get the car onto a dyno... my bet is that you'll be running out of fuel.

1) Because your fuel pump wont be upto the task.

2) The injectors wont make much more than ~200rwkw before you need to upgrade the Reg or injectors themselves anyways.

15psi...

run it rich.

my bro runs 15psi on his R33 gtst with stock internals, stock ecu, stock turbo :)

and it hits full boost at 4,500rpm spools at 2,500

I hope your brother has some cash floating around because he'll but shopping for a new turbo soon. :Bang: :Bang:

I dunno.

It's all about wheels and housings combo.

but for a hi-flowed T3 that is appalling lag, it should'nt be that laggy i reckon.

probably will be a tad more than what you had before, but not hugely.

As i said, i have a t04 comp housing, T3 rear, and i get 13psi @ 4200rpm

You had it on a dyno yet???

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Lithium · Posted

      Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.

      I'm just shocked there's a euro driver on our roads who is thinking of other road users and not attempting to blind everyone. I wonder if Prank uses his indicator too...

      So whats the deal with the porous block VR30DDTT

      By Duncan · Posted

      Its hard to tell really. The Q50 owner's forum talks about it a lot and has quite a few people directly affected, but no idea what % of cars sold actually had the block replaced. Also, there seem to be 2 distinct issues which both get diagnosed by Infiniti as requiring a block replacement (no wonder they are going broke) 1. "Porous block" where coolant mixes with oil through thin or poorly cast parts of the block 2. Head coolant gallery plugs not sealing. If I was noticing engine coolant loss I'd start with cooling system pressure test (as always) and then I'd pull the cam covers and reseal the coolant gallery plugs on both side before worrying about a potentially porous block.  If neither of those did the trick it would be put in a second hand engine out of japan; I haven't checked pricing but I'm sure there are plenty around by now as they've been in production 10+ years

      To clarify what I posted above, I thought you both had a situation where it cancelled sooner one way than the other.....if it is reasonably even where it cancels in either direction that is probably normal (consider gentle movements like lane changes, you don't want it to need half a turn of lock to turn the indicators off)

      Son, in this country, that is a piece of Gyprock. f**king drywall. FFS! I also like the autocorrect of trailer to tablet. I was reading it and thing, "what the hell drugs is he on?" Then the photo made it clear enough.
