Al, thanks for the info (only noticed your post today). I did read something a little while ago about someone doing the hiflow with VG30 exh housing and getting good results. I'll look into it as well - and yes, it's also added to my confusion :)

porschephile, definately post up the dyno chart from your friends car if you can - i'd be very interested to have a look. I assume that your friend has the GT2835 with the .87 turbine housing?

Also, just having another look at the Nengun website. They have the 2835's on special for $2,560 delivered to Sydney ;)

One question though, they have 2 versions of the GT2835 with A/R 0.87...one with Strong Actuator attached 80mm diameter and the other with 100mm diametre.

Pardon my ignorance, but what exactly does the actuator do and which choice would be better for my application?

Come on guys - help a novice out :P

Thanks!

The wastegate actuator controls the amount of boost that is pushed through the turbo by pushing excess exhaust gases through the wastegate. The harder the spring is the harder it will be to open the wastegate thus controlling boost.

Not sure which actuator is better, as i am note that technically minded, i usually ask the turbo experts that type of question and allow them to make the decision for me :).

About my combo and your decision, if you could hold off for about 3 weeks i should most definately have a dyno graph to post up. Head has already been sent to be ported, turbo sent to be upgraded, ecu out to be upgraded, cams have arrived, it's all moving quite nicely :D

      I’m hosting a bunch of execs in the McLaren box on Saturday. If you’re around I’ll come say hi, and see if I can sneak out some freebies.

      Coc or nox of nissan skyline

      Yes. All of this. But even when you get the NOx as low as you can go on an RB, it will no doubt still be way too high. Same with CO and HCs. The tech and the tuning time just isn't there.

      Boxes of oil?

      Dang. I love the little 'oil used' bingo card on the side.   🤣  Well, now they can use a box and an oil-filled goon.

      Many many moons ago, I was chatting with Andy Wyatt, about his auto ignition tuning. One of the HUGE things he said to me, when tuning for power, right where you hit peak ignition timing for your max torque, dramatically increases NOx emissions. He was finding in testing, particularly on engines you could advance timing beyond peak torque, that backing the ignition timing off a couple of degrees only made for a small drop in torque (compared to if you keep backing it off further the same amount of degrees) but dramatically reduced NOx emissions. I'd say targetting for 14.7, and he's even mentioned in some scenarios going slightly leaner, and pulling a few degrees of IGN timing will help pass for emissions quite a lot. However, who tunes an RB for emissions

      Exhaust silencers/varex exhausts

      The main stuff from.Vibrant I see is more their intercooler piping, and everyone raving about their clamps, but when I looked it was about $150 per clamp... I was a bit   I also thought the public price SP had up was high. As Mark said, a normal exhaust shop can fab them. It was many years ago that I had a full exhaust built, but for a full turbo back exhaust, and 2 custom built mufflers, plus a high flow cat, was about $1,100, and that was fully installed, drive in, drive out. I believe SP was about $900 for 2 mufflers, just supplied   These days, I just buy the material and built it myself, because I need to stretch my $$$
