Everyone, I am interested in seeing if this turbo really is a bit of a lag monster, or this fella has just set it up wrong. I am willing to put in $10 towards his dyno time with Trent.

If we do this properly, I'll gather the cash and send it directly to where he takes it (Trent from Mercury, or am I on another planet?) This way, its fairly legit. Plus, I ran a $5k group buy a few years back, and made a lot of friends, so you can trust me. Plus, its only about $100 or so.

Anyway, I am happy tpo help out. Its also going to save me thousands if I decide to take a risk and end up buying a turbo that is laggy, or not suitable for me.

Anyone keen in helping out this test?

If we go ahead, I want to know A LOT of info about your car mate so Fill in this form form

Engine:

Intake Manifold:

Exhaust Manifolf:

Cams:

Compression Test:

Fuel:

Intercooler Size:

Pre intercooler piping size:

Post intercooler piping size:

Full exhaust specs:

Dyno Chart with AFRs plotted:

Full Ignition Map:

Base timing:

Type of ECU:

Anything else I Can think of over the next couple of days

I know thats a lot, and maybe it will take you a while to get the ignition timing down, but hey, if you want a pretty much free diagnosis, work for it, haha.

Fill this out please.

I really want to see this turbo tested properly. I cannot recommend it to people (I'm a tuner, and I get a lot of people asking me what they should buy) if its not what garrett claims.

Thanks, and I hope people are interested.

I have answers to all those except the ones that are obtained from the dyno run. Af ratio. Timings etc.

Trent could sort those out for you. Fill in the rest now to give us a better idea of possible restrictions. Whats the intake like, do you have any pics?

Its a avo airbox. Like the custom ones u see in the corner. Steel. Pod inside leading to front of Turbo. Steel piping.

Engine: rb25 series 2

Intake Manifold: standard

Exhaust Manifolf: standard

Cams: standard

Compression Test: -

Fuel: 98 octane.

Intercooler Size: need to find specifics.

Pre intercooler piping size: 2.5 or 2.75 (just fits through factory holes under airbox)

Post intercooler piping size: as above

Full exhaust specs: xforce 3" Turbo back. Stainless. Highflowed cat (3")

Dyno Chart with AFRs plotted: -

Full Ignition Map: -

Base timing: -

Type of ECU: Link g4

Has Trent agreed to look at the thing for $100? Start there..

Nah 120. I got a reply SMS.

When you say x-force turbo back, surely you do not mean an x-force turbo back....

X-force do not make a GT30 specific dump pipe, nor would they make one thats GT30/skyline specific. If your dump pipe is an X-force item, then you have a factory shaped dump... And that means we know what rear housing you have also...

Please confirm your dump pipe and take photos of its exit from the turbo please.. Please confirm who supplied the turbo for you too.

Had xforce dump on standard Turbo. When I changed Turbo avo had to mod the dump pipe to suite the garret hotside. So it is an edited xforce item. Im definately running. 82 garret hot side.

straight away I say ditch the "12psi" actuator and purchase a proper heavy duty "1bar" adjustable Garrett turbo actuator. they cost around $120

should make a slight, but positive difference, to the spooling up of the turbo.

    • Tried them, they leaked. I also foolishly bought some random rubber ones that leaked too.  Genuine and not looked back.    As always though sample size of one, and I could have made a mistake installing them. 
    • Technically still manual process to set it first time though
    • Shit job but not hard. I'd use a piece of wood to knock the plastic lid open to avoid damaging it, use a vacuum to clean up the fuel sender lid also so crap doesn't fall in. I'd probably do pump and filter at the same time since you're already in there, I reused my OEM sock after a quick clean since the one provided wasn't long enough. Could also hardwire your pump if you feel inclined.
    • Supercheap auto sell this: https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/pat-plusquip-fuel-tank-lock-ring-tool---universal-kit/SPO3564082.html I own this and if you HAVE PATIENCE you can remove it without snapping lines and generally being incredibly angry, then said at doing this job. Sadly I've removed the pump about 75,000 times over the years. I don't know if you're a large lad or a smaller lad but my advice to you as someone who is 185cm is if you are my height or smaller, is to sit in the boot and take your time. Yes you can put the seal on. The seal goes over the white thing/lid (you will see how it 'slots' in) then the whole assembly presses into the tank. then you screw the lock ring on. I spent so much time doing things the wrong way by trying to mount the seal into the tank first, then putting the white fuel hat on in the space provided. Put it together first then it'll all go in. But seriously be careful about removing the hoses AND where the removal tool is moving relative to the plastic pipes coming out of the lid when you've removed it. IT IS BRITTLE So brittle in fact I have two spare lids, and would recommend buying a spare and having it handy before attempting to do this. May as well throw https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD in the tank as well, as this uses all stock plugs and such. You may need to/strongly recommend you re-use your OEM fuel sock or use the one supplied with a length of hose so it sits at the stock height.
    • The tension is automatic....if you follow the installation instructions Self adjusting tensioners are used when the chain/belt is expected to stretch during it's service life, but the downside is the tensioner itself can fail and cause a problem, while the RB system is locked once it is installed and doesn't have that risk
