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

    • Jap premium will be 100 RON. You should use 98.
    • The exhaust gases are at their highest temperature as they leave the exhaust port and enter the manifold. They cool as they flow through the manifold because they transfer heat to the manifold and the manifold loses heat to the surrounding environment. Thus, inevitably, the exhaust gases are cooler as they enter the turbo compared to when they entered the exhaust manifold. So, yes, the exhaust manifold can easily get as hot as the turbine housing. Having said that, you will generally see the highest temperatures where the exhaust gases have to slow down or they are concentrated into one area - which is usually the collector on the manifold and in the turbine housing, because the gases slam into the metal at those places, increasing the convective heat transfer coefficient and transferring even more heat to the metal than they might just flowing past elsewhere. Exhaust manifold heat shields are a good idea - certainly for the stock manifold they are there from the factory. People seldom have anything like that on a tubular manifold because they are hard to achieve. Some might wrap a tube manifold with fibreglass tape - but this has a reputation of leading to cracked welds. The best case is generally to put ceramic coating onto the manifold to prevent it getting as hot (internal coating) and radiating/convecting heat into the bay (external coating). All the real heat from a turbo comes from the exhaust side. The gases entering are at ~800-900°C and the steel/iron gets nearly that hot. The compressor side is only going to heat the charge air up to <<200°C (typically not much more than 100°C). So that's nothing, by comparison. The compressor is not a significant source of engine bay heat.
    • Late to the party, specifically joined this forum as I just bought one of these and this thread has been a gold mine of info. If the OP is still around, mind if I ask what gas you been putting in yours? Mine has a Japanese sticker in the cap saying premium but it seems to get way worse mileage on premium (95) than 91. I always thought it was meant to be the other way round🤷 I do think Nissans claimed "6l/100km" is a bit fantastical 😂
    • Does exhaust manifold get hot as turno exhuast side? I have a turbo cover to managr heat in the engine bay but  nothing is covering the exhaust manifold before turbo   i know as turbo does compress air, the temp does go up however does that mean exhaust manifold would be as hot?
    • It's excellent but I'm still breaking it in so I'm not 100% sure where it'll end up. I would say it's about 15% heavier than stock and the smoothness of the slip zone is quite progressive but you need to be a little patient compared to stock or it'll bite hard and stall. Stock I got away with absolutely horrid clutch control. Like I said before I couldn't even tell where the clutch would grab when it was stock so releasing way too quickly without enough revs it would just slip and the revs would drop lower than ideal but that would be the end of it. Currently there's a bit of a nasty clutch judder if I don't apply enough revs + find the exact wrong point of the slip point in the clutch pedal but it feels like it's slowly resolving as I drive it more. I would not recommend the competition clutch unless you really need the extra clamp force. I think this clutch combined with the Nismo operating cylinder is going to be exactly what I want. Enough bite that you need to remember the release point to avoid stalling or rough shifts, but progressive enough that it's not hard to drive by any means and not heavy at all. I tried a "super single" clutch on my friend's 997.2 Turbo 6MT and that was absolutely horrid. It runs an electrohydraulic power steering pump for the clutch power boost so there's zero feedback in the clutch pedal and there was a horrific clutch shudder well after break-in due to the lack of marcel springs or hub springs in the friction disk. It felt like the slip zone was the thickness of a single toe twitch as well so it was almost impossible to avoid stalling it unless you gave it a ton of revs and just dumped the clutch instead of trying to be smooth with it. I was terrified of pulling out in front of traffic. I have also tried some kind of "super single" on an EK9 and that makes this twin plate Coppermix look like a stock clutch. Releasing the clutch pedal even slightly too quickly feels like you're getting rear-ended. The pedal is extremely heavy as well and there's no vacuum assist like the GTR.
