TTT...

Last question I have for you TiTAN, then everything is clear and I'm set - what exactly do you mean by "big can actuator"? The more I think about it, the more my brain hurts. Do you mean that the actuator itself is physically large, or just a higher pressure spring, say 16psi?

I'll have to read it thoroughly when I get home TiTAN...but I'm still not sure if I'll be able to describe/ask for what I want specifically, and might end up f**king around either CRD or GCG...or being f**ked around myself lol.

Just gotta work out what I need to ask for, and if they ask what I mean, be able to describe it.

What benefits does the HKS housing have? bolt-on? Keeping in mind I'll be going I/W to save having to get a new dump/police attention

Ifr its what i think it means, you can get in between size exhaust housing as per 3037 ie .68, but I didn't read the whole thread so I could be wrong and you'd probably be able to use their split dump setup back to the cat, so no custom work required. Bolt on stuff and easy as.........would be much cheaper in the long run.

Yeah doesn't say internal gate....though as per above above post TiTAN, if they were to ask wtf I mean by "big can actuator", what would I say? "err yeah dude...it's big. Like fat. BBW.....ask Boz, he'll know!"

No worries, I'll just tell them and hope for the best :down: Should be soon....as soon as I get a return email from ESP telling me how much the ECU will be, rough labour costs, whatever else I'll need and tuning, should be sweet!

I'll be getting a set of splitfires too, but will a FPR be required? I've read mixed opinions on when a FPR is required, but I've been told I will....so just thought I'd ask.

no fpr, use the stocker.

MTQ are a garrett distributor and had no trouble supplying me a gt3076 with the garrett housing, they also machined the gate to make it a bit larger to make sure it didnt creep.

i bought nismo 555s and went with the IW option on the stocker manifold. now going external gate and probably bigger injectors, if i had my time again i'd go external from the start. just something to think about

Thats a good point, if your not worried about the turbo looking different to factory then may as well do it properly with an external gate. And definitely go the larger nismo injectors as they similar price.

by "right sized" you mean not excessively large? Or not small?

The only reason I really don't want to go external gate, is because I'm too inexperienced/noob/ignorant to sort out everything I'll need for it, and then source it myself. If I could tell the workshop what I have, what I want, and have them source it for me without any surcharge (except postage of course) then I'd be all for it...

And it's a street car for quite some time it may appear...a defect like that will f**k me royally

right sized meaning not too small. the nismos are a quality injector and wont have any trouble providing a decent mix at idle with 740s. you'd be mad to buy 555s when 740s are similar/same price. you allways want more power in the future

    • I'm hoping I just don't have to do an engine rebuild NOW. Doesn't mean I won't do it at some point. I think a plus point is that the car presumably ran on or close to stock power nearly all it's life so far. Only the Owner I bought it from actually increased power with a standalone ECU and blew the OEM turbos. And after it got thee 2860s it wasn't driven an awful lot either.   That is what I meant. With the twins coming on so late (4500-5000rpm) I hope the rods won't want to exit the block prematurely. And it still being a 26 means the torque curve isn't gonna hike up all that much.   It didn't blow up on the dyno when they tuned it to 500ish crank. So I suppose it'll be okay for now. They did put a Tomei head gasket on first though which did not seal at all, and they redid it with a Cometic one. Which I hope won't be my water leak.   Mainly anything oil. So far all it has is the N1 pump, oil restrictor and a filter relocation kit with a cooler.
    • 15000? ish? Something like that anyway. It wasn;t so much a wear as a tear that then spread. Might have lasted a lot longer if not bothered by just one incident, whatever it was. I took a punt. They are really comfortable and do a good job of holding. My daughter HATED it when I first put them in, and probably still does now. She has sensory issues and hates the way they are all up your business. I'm 197cm and 95kg. Not fat or particularly wide, and the XL size seat is the rigth fit. If I was any fatter it would start to get too snug. Any skinnier and you'd possibly want the smaller width.
    • Mrs rs focus came factory with recaro cs  sportsters in it and they a pain in the ass to get in and out of with the really high bolsters, once you were in them they were one of the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in
    • The NA 2.5 has very little torque. You won't feel much. Those trannies are also a million years old now and it could well be f**ked. First generation electronically controlled autos will often refuse to kick down, ete, etc, depending on what's wrong with them.
    • Yes, but no but yes but no. Those "it's fine up to 500HP" rules and everything else like it were all determined back when the cars were 10 years old. As they are now 30 years old.....what do you reckon the chances of something shitting the bed are? I'd say they are much higher now than they used to be. You might be lucky. You might be unlucky. Spin the wheel and find out. Yeah, nah. It's actually exactly the opposite. Making boost early and having heaps of torque able to be generated right in the middle of the rev range will do more to damage an engine than having to rev it high to make the power. Think about the load on the conrods, bearings, etc, to make 400HP at 4000 rpm, vs 400 HP at 6500 rpm. So someone has already "let the Nissan out" which is how we describe the increased chance of a fiddled with engine to have had something done wrongly. Many more engines that have been opened die than stock ones do - even if you into consideration how they are treated wrt power levels and the like. Again, not saying that yours will definitely have been put back together by a moron. But the possibility does exist. It's still a lottery. Spin the wheel. What weakspots?
