Yeah I do have it on

It also has a hot dog and cannon

It's a little loud but not silly loud !

I'm just worried I won't have enough back pressure.

I'm thinking of buying a turbo with a .63 rear for good mid range power but I'm thinking I might run out of up top fast because theirs to much flow

You don't want backpressure on a turbo car

I dont know why some say go for 260rwkw, I have a very snappy delivered 290 and want a bit more, maybe 320-330 will be my sweet spot.

very true, 260kw for me felt like the job was only half done, 320 and the motor feels alive

just dont loose control of the thing when in third and the backend wants to overtake the front . :yes:

E85 also masks some of that too.

If you tried it on pump you'd be unlikely to get there :)

Ah OK, I thought exhaust flow was the same on either fuel... But yes my car only makes 315-320 on pump from memory

Exhaust flow is actually higher on E85 for the same power. That's because ethanol makes more water vapour than petrol does, and there is less oxygen in each water vapour molecule than each CO2 molecule - hence you get more molecules in total. And then if you're making more power (because E85) then you make even more gas volume again. But if perchance the exhaust temperature is lower, then the actual volume will be lower than if it were hot, so you save some velocity and hence reduced friction and pressure loss. There are swings and roundabouts there that you'd need to do the sums on before saying exactly what the expected effect is.

My point was more than you can still wind timing and boost without detonation even with a restriction where pump would be showing up problems. Plus matt you have separate wastegate, also helps things out :thumbsup:

Anyway point overall is 4" is overkill, 3" would also be fine for that power - so either/or.

No, 3inch minium. If you have the 4inch, just leave it on...they're just saying it's overkill for the the power expectations.

3inch looks small, better off with 3.5-4inch , cant hurt and possibly spooling might be better with a biggish turbo?

Keep the exhaust setup you have. Just buy a hypergear bolton turbo. Buy a nismo drop in full pump, injectors of your choice. And a nistune/PFC with z32 afm. Npc single plate. And be on your way. Remember with upgraded power you will need good tyres suspension brakes to.

still undecided if i should buy a gt3076r with internal gate or external gate and use standard manifold.

If you want to keep the standard manifold and a more stock look you cannot go wrong with the hypergear much much easier to fit up and very good results

Would not hurt to use a fuel pressure reg. As for the turbo you really can't go past hypergears turbos theses if you wish to keep the standard manifold. Even aftermaket manifold he has some good options.

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
