It's more of a safety issue.....a 1mm hole is a lot easier to block than a 2mm ect......cleaning it may not fix the problem as there may be more shit sitting around the engine that will block it at a latter stage(e.g. Aarons oil filter res)

I was told by my turbo builder to open up the hole as the Garrett BB set I have already has a restrictor in it.

BTW.

P.S. Chill pill guy's.....ffs the guy was only asking a question about why we were doing it......there has been a lot of what I would even rude response's lately......I know there are a lot of new guys coming on here now and maybe its the way they write responses but I am sure they did not wake up in the morning having the objective of pissing you off by the end of the day.

Thank you. While I have played with turbo cars for around 8 years, and over 20 years on all cars (started on Valiants when I was 16 and still have a VC I'm building), I understand each car has its little quirks, this is what Im trying to learn with the M35.

It's a long and tricky road.....this is one of the hardest cars I have played with and I have had some doisies.... its a little bit of an orphan but I am pretty sure from the results I have seen OS that we have some of the quickest NM35 with VQ25DET's in the World in Australia......and I know picking the correct info is hard on here but there are a couple of guys who really know there shit with these fat cow's.

Our objective is to save you money and time.....but ......and I HATE this phrase/sentence filler " At the end of the day..." it's yours car.

Yeah, Im not on here to step on anyones toes, I understand a few of you have done some good research and mods so Im keen to learn from that.

Hopefully i dont get my head bitten off asking this question,:domokun: but who in S.A would you recommend to do a HighFlow of the turbo that would know all the other bits that should be done ie the drilling of the restrictor etc. I was talking to brad he said he had been through a few turbo's what's with this is this a real common thing?

P.S. who sells these Emanage systems in the forum community and can i keep or even better my fuel eficiency?

Jasevr4 >> im sorta in your predicament want a bit more go, reliability/fuel efficiency without costing the world, let me know what you findout that might help me also.. im also in adelaide. P.M me for my number maybe we could share related info etc :cheers:?

I haven't been brave enough yet to even consider looking at my turbo. Is it a pita job to get at the front banjo- I've had this job on my list for a while but been concentrating on non-messy issues such as the electrics/stereo stuff!

Hi Cameron, I have only had one turbo. Hope ths one lasts. I got my turbo rebuilt by Bill at ATS (Adelaide Turbo Service). He pulls them down and sends the core to GCG for a rebuild then he puts it back together. Was about $1800. I know how to get the engine and gearbox out. I thought i was fast but the Victorians have got it out the quickest.

Did you fit that yourself Brad?

I had a quote from MTQ for $1800+, depending on how far you go.

I wouldn't start (and I'm not starting) with the turbo. I'm doing all the supporting bits first. Not all of them may be strictly necessary but they won't hurt. Things like intercooler, injectors, pump, ECU, exhaust, etc. But so far I've kind of been doing a mixed bag, because coming from an R31 Pintara I have enough power for now, so I've been concentrating on handling, sway bars, strut brace, brakes then coilovers.

Once I've got everything in place I'll do the exhaust then... assuming it doesn't blow up in the mean time... fingers crossed!

Going to try and drill out that banjo at the next service. Billy wants to come round and drill out our holes together :blush:

Will be dumping and replacing the oil with another tank of the Valvoline fully synth, think I've got one fill left. Is it worth a flush while I'm at it?

well maybe Aaron and Iain wake up with that thought towards each other....I think it's just sexual tension though! :P

Ah huh... sure... I think you forgot the unrequited love between you and Aaron :P

Yes I did the work myself it took 3.5 hrs to get the engine & gearbox out. It was 1800 just for turbo

Sinergy quoted a new turbo for $4500 fitted. :down:

Alright. This is the smarts I like to hear. Anywhere that you guys can link me to more info on the oil restrictor? Dunc told me to do that too, so I'm guessing it should be at the top of the priority list.

iamhe77, ended up getting the black Aero kitted one from Wodonga.

Hey mate,

I think I found more about your old car...

check this site out: http://www.gtausmotive.com/gallery.html

There used to be a guy called GTAusmotive that frequents the Stagea section earlier this year. Last I heard he was looking for a spare turbo so he could get his car running as his was blown.

Not 100% sure if its the same car but I'm pretty confident...he was from Albury area...can't be too many M35's from Albury.

Anyway hope this helps...not sure where he sourced his turbo from...I was going to sell him mine but then he disappeared and never replied to my PMs...

Yep that's the one, I have a spare blown turbo and a standard one at the moment. Should make it easier come highflow time.

I made over 200awkw on a 2.5 inch dump/front pipe mate, with the stock turbo... :whistling:

What does the VQ25det put out stock on a dyno?

I've picked my tuner and I can't afford to get everything done at once so I'm going:

Full custom 3" TBE $1200 - $1500 fitted

Piggy back system with full tune $2500 ( Not sure what system it is but he won't touch emanage, it'll control the boost too - 19psi )

Hoping for a 200awkw. Sounds like as long as the turbo hole is drilled from 1mm to 2.5mm, 19psi should be fairly safe.

I'll also get him to do the throttle control wire cut mod ( If someone can provide a link to it so I can e-mail it to him I'd be appreciated.

Anything else I've missed that needs to be done?

Then after about a year it'll be:

Turbo Highflow or GTX 3701

Intercooler

injectors

fuel pump

I'll be happy with 250awkw (I think)

Whose making the custom TBE? Any reason you're not going for a tried and tested JDM product? Anticipate drone.

For $2.5k I'd probably want to know what/how they're going to tune it. Whose doing the work? Have they worked on a VQ25DET before?

Your air intake will likely be a point of restriction also, unsure if that will present itself as an issue at 200awkw or 250awkw

    • Still fast enough to have fun (kinda). Time for a modern turbo with a divided turbine housing and a proper twin scroll manifold. I think 400-450kW is a great place to be, provided it's all in before 4500 rpm.
    • i'm not at 600 though 😢 its 484hp (356kw) at the wheels.. 
    • Nice. 600ish HP is probably a nice place to be.
    • In the US the EPA has been going after shops that sold aftermarket ECU tuning software that allowed you to disable CELs for things like EGR, DPF, SCR, or TWC failure. They also went after shops for selling emissions delete equipment. Their logic is that all cars built for street use have this emissions equipment and you cannot do an after the fact conversion to an off-road vehicle not intended for street use. Cobb, Hondata, and similar companies have basically all revised their tuning software such that going forward you cannot suppress DTCs for emissions-critical systems, nor can you toggle systems on and off in the tune like EGR. You also cannot adjust OBD emissions monitoring logic. You can still tune these cars. But you have to do things the hard way, basically. For example Subaru FA20DITs used to delete the TGV system to get spare analog IO for a flex fuel sensor. EGR also has to be dramatically pared back because without the TGVs the stock EGR map causes bad misfires. Now instead they have to implement the flex fuel system as a CAN bus sensor instead. IMO, this is heavy-handed but the EPA in the US gave so much leeway for so long and the aftermarket relentlessly abused that leeway to the point that they could actually see the effects of all these emissions-deleted work trucks on their air quality monitoring for cities that haven't met Clean Air Act standards. It's one thing to have a few people deleting emissions on their weekend car that spends 9 months out of the year on jack stands. It's another thing entirely for entire fleets of tradies driving around 8 hours a day on deleted diesels that emit 1000x the emissions per mile of a compliant vehicle.
    • Hmmm. that's a tough one. There's a lot of history bundled up in that lot. Perhaps instead we can create a new pinned thread, called "Legacy Pinned Threads" and provide links to the these ones that will be unpinned in there. And maybe put the names of the pinned threads that are linked inside in the tags so they can seen from the outside? Or something like? I mean, it's half a step back towards having a more complicated forum structure, without actually having it. But there's a reason that heirarchical architectures exist. They are logical, and if executed properly, make it easy to find something without having any upfront knowledge of where it would be , and without using a search function.
