Haven't really had it in traffic, but around the area here I love the engagement, there is some slip to it. It's no worse than the JGY clutch I had on my previous 200sx which was just a single disk. I only drive the car when its nice really, so I rarely drive it in traffic.

Yes lifted from manifold bolts.
Car went to the dyno for some tuning today and it has begun smoking really bad due to blown turbo seals. Also, because of this we ended up setting high boost to 16psi. This turbo was on the car when I bought it and was never supposed to be used for more power anyways. I will probably stick with a t3/t4, but it will be much larger. As you can see in the graph, boost falls off to under 14 by redline. Low boost setting peaked and stayed right about 12psi. Not bad numbers for an injured, undersized turbo I think. High boost(16 peak) is red and low boost(12 peak) is blue

I'd have thought 16psi on a T3/T4 with a 2.5L motor at 7k wouldn't be stressing it too much for a healthy turbo. But yeah seals being blown will hurt how she spools. At least your air fuel ratio is solid throughout.

You thinking about a t3/t4 frame 60-1 or something?


But if I must say, overall I'm kind of disappointed with the apparent lack of problems / drama in the build. I hope you realize how that makes the rest of us loosers feel.

I've had some problems, like the turbo is dead from my oil return being restricted, and my cooling fan quit working on the dyno so I had to run power to an ignition feed. Normally I turn these lemons into lemonade like ck out this turbo.

Wouldn't be getting that if I didn't blow up the old one. It will get the new PFC 64 Billet wheel, ball bearings, water cooling, and a .63 A/R turbine housing that fits my current manifold setup. Fan turned out to be just a loose connection.

I believe that is the compressor on my current blown turbo. 500 crank is about 425 wheel. I made 385 on a blown up one. I will link the vids from the dyno once I get them. That turbo makes more smoke than boost at this point.

That took me to a T3/T3 custom turbo, but I think the link wasn't what you meant to share as most of those options you mentioned seem to be more for the T3 turbine / 60 series compressor turbos.

But its late and I'm forgetting my turbo sizing maths.

I guess an HX35 would work, but may run out of breath for his power goals. Also, they're really designed for higher PSI levels up into the 30-40psi range because they're designed to be on diesels. HX40 would be able to make his power goals easily. But the shafts are kinda fragile.

Also, he seems pretty set on a quick spooling setup and keeping lag to a minimum, and those Holesets don't spool supper fast and are not ball bearing. Also won't be all shiny and baller like a nice new turbonetics unit either.

Is $1300 really that much for a turbo? I thought that was cheap for the capabilities of that thing. It's still cheaper than a GT35R...a new one anyways. That turbonetics could get me to 600whp with meth. BTW this car is obviously not a budget build, so I'm trying to use quality stuff all around, not just the best value or cheapest. Also, I need that turbine housing or I have to change my downpipe that's all welded up already.

I like the Borg EFR, however they use an internal BOV and mine is welded to cold side piping. Also, if I got that it would have to be twin scroll which would require new manifold, dp, and wastegates. That's a little out of budget. I want good stuff, but have to be reasonable, I have 2 kids ya know.
