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

    • Yeah 98 for me, and 6.7/100 was my actual usage. On the downside the bloody thing still isn't running properly but at least they hybrid system is happy now. It starts but missfires like a bastard, and isn't throwing any code except "missfire". Thanks scoop. I did notice the AFMs are reading quite different at idle 1.33v and 1.67v so 25% variance (and have both changed and swapped them, the issue stays on the driver's side afm) so I'm looking for exhaust restriction (mouse nest?), compression issue or (hopefully not, no physical damage seen) wiring issue. Throttle might also be an issue but that is harder because you can't swap them side to side and not cheap to fire the parts cannon at.
    • I hope you're right and it somehow justifies it's existence!
    • actually, I've had one of those for a while and it gets more use than you'd think. Yes catching subframes, engines etc coming out under a car on a hoist, but also getting heavy stuff on shelving (to a certain height) without a forklift, holding the fuga's hybrid battery....like many good tools you'll find the jobs for it once you have it
    • Right, so God, it's been nearly 12 months since my last confession....  The main confession is I'm a horrible car modifier (amongst other things).  Obviously the pool was a massive distraction for the entirety of last year but really doesn't excuse me for doing nothing at all on the car for this year.  To be honest this year was a mental break to get over the extreme mental torment and pressure I put myself through putting the pool in!  It really was a slog.  The pool is still not completely finished but it might never be....  The kids love it and the wifey and I love it so mission success! I have spent a grand total of 30 minutes working on the car since when I commenced on the pool.  I just have not had a spare brain cell to be able to focus on it.  The thought of working on it just seems abhorrent to be honest.  My heart is just not into it.  Yet..... What I have done is decide that I'm a clown to not paint ALL of the underside of the car while I'm at it.  Originally I was stopping at the start of the rear subframe to then "get back to it later on once I'm ready".  Let's be honest, later on might never happen so may as well keep diving in!  I'm already balls deep so may as well go a bit deeper! So......  I've just purchased a hydraulic scissor lift table to be able to take the rear subframe out as a whole unit without having to dick around with jack stands rolling around on the ground.  Us 6' 8" blokes don't operate well at ground level! One of these- Anyway, will the investment in an expensive tool that I'll probably only ever use for one job motivate me to crack on?  Only time will tell..... Wish me luck!
    • Yeah the ACL and similar formable heat shielding materials are really nice. But most people do not have the patience or talent to do a good job like that. Almost anything is better than nothing though. Even if you didn't form it closely like that and just had a slab of it slipped in between the manifold and somewhere/thing you wanted to protect, you would gain benefit. There has to be a market opportunity for people like Artec to make formed heatshields to suit their cast manifolds. The fact that they are cast means that they are consistently the exact same dimensions and they could add bosses to the castings like you see on stockers to allow heat shields to be firmly attached yet floating away from the manifold itself.
