Okay, so I've got my dream car, until I can afford myself a R35 haha. I love my 34, it's a manual 98 model. So far, engine wise, I've added a GFB 6 Preset Electronic Boost Controller. On the way, which will arrive in the next week and be in by the 28th, is a 6 boost Exhaust Manifold, 1000cc Injectors, Nistune ECU, Madcat intake manifold, fuel rail and 90mm throttle body, Walbro 460 Fuel Pump and my big 900mm Front mount intercooler. I'm planning on getting this all in within a few days of flying back home from work. I know what I'm doing adding all this stuff, it's really not hard, just a bit fiddly. I've got a few questions though..

 

So obviously the upgrades listed are quite substantial, and will allow me to handle quite a bit more horsepower, but I'm wondering what Turbo to upgrade to? Or even better, whats an easy way to know what turbo I can fit? As most of you would know, my manifold turbo mount supports a T3 fitting. I'm wanting at least 350HP at the wheels, but if it's possible with these specs, I'd love 400HP at the wheels. I understand the turbo plays a bit part of this, hence why I need some advice. And yes, I am aware a tune would be needed to support the rest of the mods.

 

My second question is related to Anti Lag. So my Nistune ECU I'm getting is plug and play, and I've heard that when it comes to anti-lag, you can have it wired to a switch. Firstly, is this possible with a Nistune ECU? And if someone could explain how it actually works? As I'm genuinely curious how a little 12v active cable being cut on and off can enable something that's programmed inside the ECU? Unless there's more to it.. cheers everyone!

Anti lag in bin. Just not worth doing.

You can fit any T3 turbo, because you're going to need a lot of fabrication anyway, and anything T3 both can and must be made to work.

Get a EFR 7670 in the T3 format. If you can return the manifold get it in T4 TS. This is the best option as it comes with a bov and boost solenoid too. If you can return the manifold, I'd just say go buy my kit which comes with literally everything.

Failing that, GTX3071 0.82 rear. But if you are buying new, the EFR is a better unit, and well, WELL worth the small price increase which is probably absorbed by not needing to buy a BOV which you would for the Garrett.

It is triggered by road speed and can also be wired to a switch. Once a particular defined road speed is set, it is turned off.

It is for launch only and can't be used as rolling anti-lag. Also it is limited to only 0 degrees of ignition timing and can't take negative numbers. Great for building boost for good consistent launches at the drag strip.

Just wondering why you'd request I return the manifold if I've got a top of the end manifold for the T3 fitting, which if you research, 99.999% of manifolds available are all T3, so there's something working right with that size turbo fitting and the Rb25 engine. I knew there would be someone with sarcastic response tell me to do something completely opposite to what I've requested. I asked what turbo I should use, not what turbo I should use if I had a totally different turbo fitting, which is impossible to find anyway. And for my turbo lag question, It was for show, and the occasional launch on the drag strip from a standstill. I've seen a few r33's and r34's parked up at car meets revving, then a few seconds of silence, and their revving turns into popping, and spitting flames at redline, instead of just the normal redline effect.

The turbo is the most/only important part.

It is the part that defines if a car is decent or not. The best turbo really right now is not T3. You buy a manifold to fit the turbo you want, not the other way around.

Can buy plenty of OK choices for the T3, but if you are going to the considerable expense of a full build, its better to start with the turbo first, then get all the pieces to support that.

So my entire build is out the window and is total dog shit because I have a T3 instead of a T4, that shitty T3 isn't going to get me any horsepower at all hey

GTX3582R Gen 2

What about, a T3 to T4 adapter flange? In my head out kinda doesn't make sense because it's still going to be restricting airflow that tiny bit, only a few mill difference between T3 and T4, however, the bigger better turbos can go on it, so the end result would be better if I just used the adaptor right?

    • On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.
    • So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.
    • This seems like a pointless exercise. There is no E30 availability. Ongoing availability of E85 should not be assumed. Flex-fuel is the only sensible approach, so you can use E85 when and where you can get it, 98 when that's al you can get, and anything in between as you fill it up and drain it down. And if that means replacing the pumps, fitting a flex capable sensor/ECU/whatever has to be done to these Renault shitboxen, then.....so be it?
    • Sorry, I wasn't very clear.....just that the standard injectors are apparently good over 600rwhp/450rwkw which you won't get to on standard turbos anyway.....they are much better sized from factory than we are used to in RBs.
    • I'm not sure where you are, but United Terrey Hills has E85.
