Send him a mesage; he's Russian but speaks English.
I'm pretty sure he runs a workshop; I'm sure he could point you in the right direction

Genuine.

I only have the PN for the entire turbo gasket set, which is worthwhile having if you plan to change the turbo one day. 14401-AQ826

Is yours damaged? I have never needed to replace one as yet.

found one @ just jap. i'll order one when i get the bc coilovers.

Perfect . thx for the advise. My luck is , that it would leak.

I ordered a new one today, along with a set of BC BR's from Just Jap. Going all out next friday. New Auto, exhaust & dump, HDI FMI & Bc's, R/C gaskets & a service... also a set of wheel bearings in the front..

Going to be a busy friday..

Hi Guys,

Mrs. and I are maybe considering a Stagea ARX four. The car will be for her.

Any common major issues to look out for? (Problems that would require me to take it to a specialist)

Plan on keeping it 100% stock.

90% urban use and shopping centre car parks. Other 10% country driving to the snow/holiday spots.

I plan to do regular maintence etc.

Use search function and you will find whaf you require.

Common issues

.turbo side cam cover gasket will split leaking oil onto turbo

.turbo blowing (oil starvaton)

.blow off valve farting

.restrictions in the dump pipe

.carbo build up in engine (apparent when you replace your cam gasket)

.oem boost controller will play up occasionally limiting boost at times

.banjo restricted.

Hope this helps. Im sure others can add to it

Mine is still going I think, I lent it to Jase a year ago. 13 years is pretty reliable if you ask me.

If only Nissan still sold that original part, not the part they sell now which only lasts a few weeks. (if you are lucky.)

My aftermarket ones seem to be lasting fine Leon... :)

Factory bov farting ? Is that the noise i hear at around 3500 on occasions, from the drivers sideof the car ?

Most likely. It's a weird sound. The stock BOV goes soft over time and farts as it isn;t strong enough to stay closed.

Grab a turbosmart Kompact BOV. Straight bolt on and will help hold boost if you start upping the boost at all

it happens every now & then in between gears. I'll be looking into the Kompact BOV asap.

Where does the factory boost guage connect up ? Mine is is always reading in the neg & occasionally goes to 0.

Is there a guage you can swap in it's orig place without going all ricer & mounting one.?

there is a common fault with them. they get dry joints on the sensor. there is a "how to" around done by scotty showing the fix. but the stock gauge isn't super accurate so if you are planning any major mods you will want a differant gauge. There are lot of differant ways people have mounted them so they dont stand out all ricer style

    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
