I'm a little confused by that turbo setup. No wastegate to bypass exhasut gas, instead boost is controlled by venting already compressed air. The turbine is allowed to spin as fast as it wants, perhaps even out of its efficency range. How can this possibly be more effecient than a wastegate setup?

as far as i know he has never disclosed an actual figure...

just about every car mag (online and print) has had some form of 'creative' fact reproduction. ranging from a slight dodging of the facts to out and out guessing and bullshit. i guess in this country it is seen as acceptable to print utter garbage and have the readers pay for it. when they mess up not only the components and who did the work right through to the owners name and the power figure achieved they are taking advantage of their customers to the nth degree. i only bought the first issue of speed magazine - that was enough. as a matter of fact, ive only bought the 1st issues of a couple of local mags and been completely dissapointed. it's a sad thing for the industry but more so for the people that advertise in them. they get associated with a bunch of backward ****s with a computer and a job at a publishing co.

jeez mags shit me.

Cheers.

Hrmmm - Looks like our friend Greg Brindley has struck again...

Turns out that it wasn't even written by the Autospeed staff... It was written by a freelance writer... A mate of mine had his car reviewed on A/S by the same guy (Greg), and said he's no good...

I had Julian and Michael do mine, and they were pretty much on the money as to what I'd done etc...

Autospeed has gotten real shit especially since they dont have any free artivles anymore.

They sound like a bunch of tossers aswell.

    • Welp, too late already committed to the cam cover breathers to be welded on. I did think about adding a catch can in line with the drivers side sump breather as a phase 2 along with a drain to the sump on the original catch can but with an inline ball valve so I can have it closed if needed.    Likely a single breather would have been enough but I think I鈥檓 overcompensating to hopefully not have to empty my catch can and clean up oil over flow every session.    out of curiosity has anyone actually measured crank case pressure before and after various mods? I鈥檓 considering adding a sensor for science 
    • Is it a dog or synchro box? I guess either way, if it is new and crunching in one gear only, it has to come out and go back to the shop to check/measure as there is either an assembly or manufacturing issue
    • These are small points I should actually add to my original post. GKtech makes an extended slave line for this conversion. It's what I use, and it works well. You'll also need a CD009 slave cylinder.  S/R Chassis Z33/Z34 Conversion braided clutch line As for transmission sensors, you'll need to both extend the wiring and replace the connectors. I can't recall which is which, but one is your neutral switch and the other the reverse switch. As they are just switches, just test for continuity with your transmission in neutral or reverse to figure out which is which. Connectors:  VQ35 neutral Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties VQ35 Reverse Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties 
    • I鈥檒l try and see it could be the release bearing. As for the 4th gear grind maybe clutch doesn鈥檛 disengage properly cause it is slightly like very slightly hard to go into first could be due to the slab cylinder pin being short uni clutch is a twin plate.   Ive attached some assembly photos hopefully you can open the link and see maybe detect what鈥檚 wrong https://share.icloud.com/photos/0dc2YvW__Hl6jl-l2_0jejjpg https://share.icloud.com/photos/09e0jkWOK-vP48c1cfY6u3ViA https://share.icloud.com/photos/0b4rDmh5R7pK7fb1VtND73a3g https://share.icloud.com/photos/05eeUi_6dC4DVi80jOUYDgb0g https://share.icloud.com/photos/06335TgY1XxyIJal_wkdQLhzw
