It is a stagea, they are fat and thirsty. They fuel economy on the highway with good tuning is acceptable but around town 14-15L/100km is pretty typical with aftermarket turbos. Poor tuning and they a shitty on the highway too.

Comparing it to an R33 is a pointless exercise. My R33 makes more power uses less fuel even with hi-flowed injectors.

My injectors were fully cleaned and spray tested. But that doesn't mean that some dirt hasn't found it's way in since installation. With anyluck I should have my maps set off to jez next week so he can see if anything is strange.

agreed..some stageas are up around 1900kg with a cold pack and double sunroofs and they are only 2.5L motor..not sure what people expect..lmao

that 33 owners are trying to compare fuel economy though..throw 3 or 4 100kg people in you car as passengers for a week and get back to me on your daily economy then....

cheers

A big thank you to hypergear for making sure I can't sell my car. 3 people have test driven my car and were unhappy with the turbo response and drivability/boost surge. All 3 have said it feels slower and less aggressive then a standard rb25.

From this entire thread, you've come to this conclusion?

The turbo is by NO MEANS your problem. There's obviously many other issues with your setup, supporting items and the work that has been performed on your car not being carried out correctly. This is why you've needed a whole 43 pages worth of thread to sort issues with your car.

Im surprised you haven't been warned by now for previously rubbishing a company's product (proven to work!) and then blaming them again for not being able to sell your car.

Sort your issues, THEN sell the car.

lol perhaps we also get blamed when your A/C don't work up or car radio stops functioning.

You are putting meanings on names and blame the turbocharger for totally isolated problems.

By reading your post there are many section of the car not sound, even with every one's advise, things are merely done.

I've been offering a free turbo swap to a popular model since last Oct on numerous occasions with what ever methods reasonable, there has always been reasons for not doing so. and there is nothing more I can do.

If there is a genuine believe of a part that is not functioning correctly, a normal person would organizes warranty or replacement with vendor. Nothing happens If you persist or reluctant doing so.

There is no physical reason out side of the turbo itself for it to surge, everything has been removed and checked over 10 times, no leaks, no restrictions, no loose connections just a complete inability for the turbo to do what I was told by stao it would do. If I knew how much trouble this turbo was going to cause i could have just purchased a garret or hks kit and saved alot of money and stuffing around. Am I wrong that I believe a product should do as the supplier says it will. Regardless if the surge, my turbo heat soaks at 16psi, how anyone can say they are running 18-20 psi without killing their motor has got me stumped.

Yeah and you expect me to pull more cash out of my ass to pay for a deposit on a turbo that I dont know to be any better plus I would need a new tune that might not be even better. So basically I could outlay $$$ to a tuner and then be stuck in the same boat that I'm in now. If there was a single thing wrong that any of the 12 people who have looked over my car could find I would understand my turbo not working.

Running rich blown black smoke and misfiring is not the definition of turbo surge.

You've already explained your self the reason for heat soak in your previous posts.

Deposit means you are getting that money back after receiving your current turbocharger, just a way giving your self convenience for not taking the car off road. You are experiencing problems I and others never experienced, if same problem persist on the new charger while others made positive gain then just confirms what ever issue you have has nothing to do with the turbocharger, regardless of the choice of the turbocharger. Then you need to sort out what ever problem there is and repair it before selling the car.

I have a OP6 high flowed turbocharger that produced result of below based from a customer's R34 sent in by the customer:

Numerous other customers are getting similar results based on this high flow profile.

Does that looks reasonable enough to you? If you wish to swap, please act now.

I would bet $100 if you put a garret or any other turbo on your car you will have identical problems.

+1

If you had gotten a garret, you would have been further out of pocket and in the same boat you are in now.

    • Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.         
    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 馃槂
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.
