I love this guy, makes a thread to ask our opinions on which turbo is right for him..

So we all give our opinion that he should mod other things before worrying about a turbo.

A week later he wants a 3037 :rofl:

Next week it will be NOS, 2 of the big ones. We will tell him NOS is for amateurs but he won't listen and then he won't listen when his laptop tells him "DANGER TO MANIFOLD", he will blow the welds on his intake and fry his piston rings cause he was granny shifting and not double clutching when he should..

Anyway we all know the story, base line is..Mia I'm a cop. ..

Actually i was told that the stock turbo in my car was a piece of shit and that i should throw it out and get a new one by multiple people. Thus why the thread started, i came here for advice. So if you dont have any useful advice other than your amazing sarcasm, simply click the 'next thread' button. Thanks.

If you want to skimp on cost, get a z32 ecu and put a nistune board in it and then get a profec b boost controller or something similar. Should cost about $850 or so.

If you can get a 3037 or 2835 pro s by all means do it, neither will dissapoint you but they are a little harder to come by these days. A gt3076r or gt3071 will be good options as well or look at the hypergear range such as an ss1pu or the G3/2.5. You need to decide if you want to run internal or external gate though. Seeing as you seem like your are new to everything i think you would be best served going internal gate and if you want the turbo to bolt up to the stock exhaust pipe then a hypergear will suit you. You can get gt3076 turbos with the nissan 6 bolt dump pattern but they apparently arent the greatest.

On top of the turbo and ecu the other things you will need:

3"+ metal intake pipe

Front mount intercooler

3"+ turbo back exhaust

555cc+ injectors (if e85 you will need bigger)

Upgraded fuel pump (nismo/tomei and bosch are good)

Z32 air flow meter

A clutch capable of holding around 300kw

Set aside $$ for the possibility of new coilpacks as well

Im sure there are probably other things you will need as well, but thats all i can think of off the top of my head.

I recommend you do a lot of reading and searching through threads in this section as all the info you need is here

I think ill go with the power fc to be honest, it has a MAP sensor so i dont need an afm.

Definately want to go internal wastegate but ill do some more research

already have 3" exhaust, intercooler and i have added 840cc injectors to my list and a 040 bosch pump, ill do some research about a clutch, any recommendations?

Cheers.

lol...I honestly never saw that there before...

ok heres my 2c...call hypergear, get a turbo and an adaptronic ecu off him if he still has any

or theres one here and get a 3076 if you dont want hypergear..

comes with built in MAP..if your tuner tells you its no good tell him to get his shit together cause its a perfectly capable unit (i know cause i have one) and you wont get better for that price unless you buy a used pfc or something which are getting alot cheaper these days

then get the best injectors and fuel pump (wired for full voltage) you can find..NPC clutches are great value too

for around 3k (which will easily blow out to 5k) you will be super fast...job done...

for the money it would cost to setup a 3037 (which really should be mounted to a decent manifold to be effective anyway) you could setup a t67 kando and be just as fast if not faster. there is far better ways to spend your coin than just getting a 3037

You cant just roll in here and say Which turbo is best, cause there is so many variables as to which turbo is best for your situation..whats the car used for drag, drift,burnouts, track how much money do you have to spend, is it daily driven yadda yadda yadda...but if you did a little research you would know this already..

as they say, ask a stupid question , get a stupid answer... :)

    • I know this one’s the BB one. My tuner did make mention about the actuator. I am curious about the VCT as well
    • Might also needs a stronger actuator with the right preloading. With older 2019 built bush G3 units, BB upgrade or 21U housing down size makes a pretty decent gain in response as well. 
    • Hey lads  so im finally putting together my rb30 forged bottom end and ran into an issue. I measured my main bearing clearance with arp main studs torqued to 60 ft-lbs using ACL H series STD size bearings and standard, un-ground crank shaft journals and got an oil clearance reading of about 1.3 thou measuring straight up and down and about 2.8 thou measuring at a 45 degree angle (just above and below the parting line). My machine shop said they measured the main tunnel and it was all within spec (they didnt say the actual measurement) and to go with a standard size bearing, which i have done and the clearance is too tight, I'm guessing because of the extra clamping force from the arp studs distorting the main tunnel. I was wanting to run about 2.5 thou main bearing clearance.  My questions are: 1. could i just use the HX extra 1 thou clearance ACL bearings? that would fix my straight up and down clearance making it about 2.3 thou, but then would the side to side clearance be too big at around 3.8 thou? 2. what actually is the recommended main bearing clearance for measuring near the parting line / side to side. i know its supposed to be bigger as the bearing has some eccentricity built into it but how much more clearance should there be compared to the straight up and down measurement? at the moment there is about 1.5thou difference, is that acceptable or should it be less? 3. If i took the engine block + girdle back to the machine shop and got them to line bore the main tunnel (like i told them to do the first time, but they said it didnt need it) what bearing size would i buy? the STD size bearing shells already slide in fairly easily with no real resistance, some even falling out if i tip the girdle up-side-down. If im taking material out of the main tunnel would i need a bearing with extra material on the back side to make up for it? this is probably confusing af to read so if something doesn't make sense let me know and ill try explaining in a different way. My machine shop doesn't come back from christmas break until mid January, hence why i'm asking these questions here. TIA for any help or info 
    • I bought the model back in Japan in Feb. I realised I could never build it, looked around for people who could build it, turns out there's some very skilled people out there that will make copies of 1:1 cars or near enough. I'm not really a photo guy... but people were dragging me in a group chat for the choice of bumper as someone else saw the car before it was finished as they are also a customer of that shop. I took the photo in the above post because I was pretty confident that the lip would work wonders for it. Here's some more in-progress and almost-done pics. It gives a good enough idea as to what the rear looks like!   I have also booked in a track day at the end of January. Lets all hope that is nothing but pure fun and games. If it's not pure fun and games, well, I've already got half an engine spare in the cupboard 
    • Well, do ya, punk? Seriously though, let's fu<king go! The colour and kit looks amazing on the car. Do you have any shots from the rear? I don't quite follow how the model came around. You bought the white kit and he modified it to match your car? Looks nuts either way!
