shit..

im making 20psi by ~5000rpm..

thats with e85, poncams and stempipe manifold

Wtf??? That's shit as. Way too late for a 3076. I got a stock ported manifold and stock cams (have a cam gear only) and is internally gated.

Just looked at your boost line and looks lazy. What controller you using? Or just off the external gate

Hi there,

From what you write about your high-flowed turbo I would buy immediately buy it, since it sounds like lots

of low down grunt and fun :) Who made this unit???

I have this nice boost controller, it has 3 settings .. 'off' 'low' 'high' ... wouldn't that help to tame the unit?

Anyhow, the car is used as anything from grocery getter to daily driver (though not as a commuter)

From time to time for the drag strip, but not on a 'professional basis'

My insurance policy states 'recreational use' and that's the truth ..

I wouldn't want too much downtime with the turbo upgrade, and I have a good mechanic at hand who

does very good work (but only at weekends)

Here in the UK there's is quite some backfround noise with High Flowed Turbos, usually you get no 'hard data' on these.

'They' just state 'stage1' or 'stage2' and that's something I wouldn't buy especially when being quite pricy...

I had a recommendation for a HKS28xx kit .. but that was very pricey ...

Cheers from London,

Andrew

I had a hiflow at 250rwkw and it was sometimes pretty hard to drive. Made heaps of boost and came on hard way too early in the rev range. On wet days if you tried to accelerate in 4th from say 70 to 100km/h you'd get wheel spin all the time. Fun but a real PITA, you couldn't always count on controlling it. Not saying all hiflows are like this, but mine was.

Stopping at uphill sets of traffic lights on wet days - just thinking about it used to make me break out in cold sweats. I'd plan my route to avoid having to go through them.

I went to a 3076 with external gate and WMI at 300rwkw and its a totally better vehicle all round. Good reliable steady progressive power. Transformed the car, made it a damn sight easier to live with. So its not called lag, its called control to me!!!

But buying and installing such a turbo takes more effort and $$$$ than one that bolts up to the std dumps etc. It really depends on your end goals and what you want to do with the car long term. Also - if you buy say a hypergear hiflow as an interim step - how easy would it be to resell later and get your $$$ back when you decide to up size??? Simple things like this can help make your build more progressive and easier on the bank account.

Too much boost early in the rev range. WTF? Never heard that before. You should drive a 6L Supercharged V8. That's low down power. You need to learn some right foot control. Throttle isn't an on/off switch.

Hi there,

I still would like to know who made this high flowed unit???

Cheers from London :)

It was hiflowed by GCG in Sydney, not sure if it was a completely std turbo to start with, it came on the car. From memory it went from 50/7? to 56/76 but I could be wrong there, I gave all the paperwork to the person who bought it off me. I also had other mods that allowed the 250rwkw to be made [fmic, pfc, tomei cams, dump, exhaust, hiflow cat, z32, etc etc]. But as I said I didn't like its power delivery, was not as progressive.

The 3076 makes 50kw more power but has a much better power delivery and more of it [in the rev range] where you need it.

If I was you I'd send Stao from Hypergear a PM and get one of his units, only ever heard good things about his product.

Yeah ... I will send him a PM, he seems to have lots of experience and also documents his results well.

There's an inner voice that says 'go high mount, go high mount'. ;) But that would involve too much downtime (but would be quite sexy)

Many thanks ...

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      If it's magnetic what is stopping you from using a magnet on a thin wire from fishing it out?

      Those 2 solenoids in that assembly I mention, are the PWM solenoids for torque converter lock-up clutch & EPC (line pressure control) ~ when most folks hear of 'solenoid failure', the tendency is to think electrical failure...but fact of the matter is, especially wrt the EPC solenoid (which is moving/running all the time), you can have an electrically 'good' solenoid, that's absolutely broken/worn out mechanically inside...ie; valve plunger return spring rubbing against spring retainer plate, lowering preload pressure.. ...and the solenoid armature extension limit spring wafer with bad wear/broken off petals... ...and if there's ever been any metal flying about, damage to the valve plunger end itself... ...the stuff one never really sees, unless you go the whole 10yards trying to answer the question "why is my line pressure screwy, but TCU isn't flagging any EPC solenoid fault?"...and carefully dissect the solenoid. Worst (and most probable) scenario is when the plate spring petals break off, they get held by the magnetic flux, get mashed up by the armature into little bits, which end up in the space between the armature & shading core bore, and things get stuck or randomly jam up, and your line pressure goes flat and doesn't change...and the TCU never sees it, as it doesn't actively monitor LP... ..then it gets into insidious land, if you end up with lower than expected line pressure...lets say high clutch..and the lower pressure causes it to slip ~ when I say 'slip', think say 2000rpm on the drive plates, and 1800rpm on the driven plates, because the slip is making them under-rotate by 200rpm ; you get all the usual nasties like heat and band/clutch wear, but even if it's only 20rpm slip the same thing happens...and... you'll hardly ever pick this up driving the thing with the torque converter active as it effectively masks these sorts of slippages that are line pressure related ...(the newer TCUs can detect clutch slip rate)...just  FYI as it were...

      RB20 in need of modest love injection

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Hey guys, so Golebys has good prices on Bosch injectors, and also sell an adaptor to go from 1/2 length injector to standard with the Nissan 10.5mm top seal.  Does anyone know if that adaptor is to suit the 14mm or 11mm injector tops?  And re. The bottom seal, to suit my standard RB20 intake, would I be right in saying I can just slip the 14mm square section O ring over the bottom of the new injector and done? Thanks in advance guy, Cheers, Rowdy

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      F my life. I was changing the oil on my R32 GTR today as usual and ran into a bit of a snag. I drained the oil out and was getting ready to finish the job by tightening the drain plug, however The stupid magnetic oil drain plug snapped in half, right at the magnet part. After about an hour of trying to remove it, I used a drill bit, which unfortunately pushed the magnet all the way into the pan, and just leaving the hollow threaded part of the bolt remaining. I was able to remove the hollow portion of the bolt from the oil pan with some pliers but the magnet is still in there.  So, the question is, should I drop the oil pan to get the magnet piece out, or is it okay to leave it in there? I really dont want to drop the pan, i'm about to go nuts.  PSA: Do NOT buy a BLOX magnetic drain plug. This is the one i had.    https://bloxracing.com/products/magnetic-oil-drain-plug-m12x1-25mm?variant=37131252859052&country=US&currency=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw47i_BhBTEiwAaJfPpgti1D2JwO7TDuMpXuqeQPCuIQSAfwxpWQH5rF9MD7sm5SCZDWLR_RoC_YoQAvD_BwE
