Hmm. Intresting mate. Im going down this same road, but my hx35 is on a rb26. Wounder how it will work. I've been considering a new turbo but willing to give this a try first.

Did you ever get this sorted out??

Interesting topic to read.. I had almost exactly the same issue years ago when I had a split pulse 0.86 diesel rear housing on my GT3040. Made boost early and power came on strong, then the power flat lined from about 5k to 8k. Changed the housing to a normal open housing and it made another 70hp and climbed till the limiter.

Would be interested to read an update.

What size down pipe did you guys running?

Im using what hoset calls a 12cm rear housing and wondering if the 16cm would be much better on this rb26. Im very close to starting up and tuning. The original turbo has a 2.5" outlet on the hot side. I see they offer a 3" its for 139(5 bolt flange) and the rear 16cm housing is 169. I wonder which one to go with. For the extra 39 dollars i figure if the housing gives more power (16cm) potential and it already comes with 3" vband outlet. Hmmmm :huh:-_-

The car is finished and i ran it at 14psi. It's fast but i can feel that ita getting stuffed on high rpms. Like after 7200. Think I'll upgrade to the 16cm housing and see what happens. It worth it for 169 usd.

    • What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.
    • I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.      
    • So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about
    • This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but.. 
    • Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
