All that needs to be done is have a TO4 Comp wheel installed and this turbo is capable of 200rwkw+. $450 for more info PM me please. cheers

Guys this an unfinished project of mine, I didnt put the TO4 comp wheel on cause i have decided to sell my car. My intentions was to do the same mods that BOOSTED has done the only stage i got up to was machining the exhaust snout from 42mm to 52mm. Not sure how it would work on an RB20 but i know that BOOSTED has gotten upto 266rwkw

The non ball bearing vg30 turbos came with a steel exhaust turbine so i have been told. The VG30 Ball bearing came with a ceramic. With the mods that have been done to this turbo you dont need to run high boost to achieve good power. BOOSTED ran his @.9bar and got 266rwkw

Correct. This turbo has a ceramic wheel which results in sledge hammer style boost build. This turbo will not run more than 16-17psi boost due to the trim on the turbine. Due to the larger compressor wheel, the turbo spins at 90,000rpm instead of 121,000(t3) @ 15psi. Ceramic turbine failure is very very unlikely. Even at 17psi rpm is only 96,000.

I have constantley made 250+rwkw on 4 different dyno's on 14-17psi.

if you can't afford tyres DO NOT BUY tHIS TURBO- I was getting wheel spin on acceleration in 4th with 18" 275's. Good turbo for drift.....not very good for the hills as boost hits way to hard.

RB25 would expect FULL boost by 4100rpm

RB20 would be slighly later

Boosted sold me a steel wheel version quite a few

months ago. Will finally be putting it on after auto

salon.

MADGT4 i also have a 32 gts-4 so i will advise as soon

as it is installed and running. Most people are saying

i should make around 200 rwkw with 1 bar of boost.

    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • 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!
