Fitted a new highflow rb25 hypergear turbo over the weekend with ease. With my mates lift and his help we got it done in bout five hours. Along with a new tomei 3” downpipe. My question is how many miles do y’all typically put on your new turbos before you start doing pulls in them. So far just baby driving to and from work I’ve got about 75 miles on it. I’ve scheduled a dyno tune next Friday for official HP numbers. 

^^^what he said...you need the tune before you can start thrashing it...or even driving it really. Have you got bigger injectors, fuel pump, and an aftermarket ecu or  nistune chip?

I have a walbro 255 in it and a Nistune chip. I had it tuned back in October on the stock rb20 turbo and we found the stock fuel pump was very weak so few weeks ago I replaced it with the walbro and then this last Sunday threw the new turbo in.

Baby it around, get it to barely come onto boost. 

Check for leaks, fill it up and drive to your tuner.

Send It!

Basically what I have been doing. Saw 2-3psi max. Seen a tad bit of coolant in the garage floor but not totally sure if it’s residual from the swap or a tiny leak at the banjo

what else have you done ie exhuast, injectors etc etc?

 

It has full 3” exhaust from turbo back. Has a FMIC. Splitfire coilpacks. Walbro 255 fuel pump.a Nistune chip.  And a turbosmart manual boost controller.

    • Hah, I have no issues with what you are doing whatsoever! You clearly know what you are getting yourself into. It's just funny reading things like this. "What's that noise?" "Oh, that's normal. That's just the engine not getting any oil. Nothing to worry about. It'll go away in a moment"  
    • Yeah I'm keeping an eye on it and might take it out as a once off if this doesn't fully charge. I did some research that said it's normal in equalisation charging. Voltage I thought was 20+ (faulty battery in multimeter) but now its on 15.9v, the max it should go to is 16.2v as per the manual. I'll provide an update once hopefully it's actually fully charged and in float mode. Waiting for it to go to 16.2v and not higher and see what happens. What I suspect has happened is that even though it's not an old battery, I did leave the car turned off for almost 4 weeks at one point then left it off for another 2 weeks which might have erroded the battery and is taking a long time to do this equlisation charge.
    • I wouldn't be using the seats a lot since it's on Historic rego and will not be driven a lot, however I also don't want to fork out 3k for something that won't last. Havent looked at BRZ seats, aiming for something of the same era I did speak to him on the phone once, and I do see your point haha. How many kms do you think you drove before they started wearing out? Just had a look at yours, certainly looking for a reclinable version. The Brides don't look too bad! I would still like to sit in one just to make sure it's what I'm after.    Thanks for the replies fellas. 
    • I bought my Bride reps from Crank Motorsport. He is, um, a trifle disorganised. I would have to look back at the e-mails to make sure I got it right, but I think he sent me normal fabric ones when I ordered the "Alcantara" ones. So he had to pay for shipping 3x and I'm sure that f**ked him off big time. And asking technical questions where nuanced English is required is a no go. It's simple English only. And....should I have bought the Alcantara ones? Well, as it turns out, they are great, feel great, etc, but the fabris wore through on the point of the waist bolster in <2 years. Must have caught a rip from a rivet on jeans or shorts, or something like that. So now I have to patch it somehow. A bit shit. My fault, ultimately, because it is Chinesium Faux Alcantara, not the real thing, and it turns ot that it has the tear resistance of a soggy tissue. But the seats and the reails are great. I probably should have gotten the R34 style ones, and now that they price is up in that ridiculous sort of number, I could have sold them for a profit!
    • Another recco is to just let it rest for a while and go back and reconnect later.
