But that would not cause that low a boost level

A turbo so fucked it can only produce that little boost would dump all your oil in a few seconds.

If you rotated the turbo then make sure that the rubber seal around the center housing is still intaked and that it is all seated back properly.

Are you running a vac direct from comp nipple to side port to try wastegate spring pressure? Or is it on boost controller?

It will be a leak its just a case of finding it, check manifold to turbo also.

Fast metabolism is extremely rare and will not be a reason people struggle to gain weight. If your not gaining weight or building muscle you are not eating enough, you may think you are but your not. I used to be the same, but now I know the truth and there are no hardgainers, only under eaters.

People turn to juice too easy due to not knowing how to gain natural, its an easy option. I've gained 3.5 stone in around 3 years all natural. But I've been training for around 8 years, 5 were wasted doing the wrong things and under eating.

Thanks for the feedback boys, glad your happy with them.

No... It's to do with the length of the actuator arm.. read the guide.

If you need a brand new HKS actuator, drop me a PM selling one still boxed for £100 delivered

that arm length chart is only a guide.

the length of the arm is only relevant to give an indication on the amount of pre load on the actuater. Its the actual load that defines the boost. I would start at 3/4 or maybe half of the hole load and work from there. Take it out check boost and adjust til your happy.

It was a tough decision for the ref, groves was in trouble, looking down back turned clearly hurt, unfortunately you can't give a standing 8 count unless groves took a knee. So it was either stop the fight or risk damage to groves.

I agree it was a bit of a disappointing finish to a fight that was much more even than expected, I feel if the ref didn't stop it, froch would have finished it off in that round.

Lost a lot of respect for froch at the end interview though

The cracks are nothing to really worry about mate, only really a problem if they are that wide that they don't allow the wastegate to fully seal .

I know what you mean about the power delivery, the second hybrid I made produced made much more power but didn't give the same kick as the bigger shaft version.

From what I know of the k1 i can imagine they give good mid range kick

The big problem micky is that the shaft that is used has a thicker bore where the compressor wheel slides on, which rules out using all the ct9 range of compressor wheels. You could however drill the compressor out to fit but then your running the risk of weakening it and causing balance problems.

I could find out if I can source the k1 shafts, obviously they would need to be paired with 11011 turbine housing, again the bearing housing have a slight differences too, they take a heat shield behind the head of the shaft.

Would be a little more lag than a conventional hybrid I would guess, maybe k1 users could confirm?

I once built a hybrid using a custom shaft that I made which was huge compared to stock ct9 and it took a hell of a lot of work to machine the turbine housing, that was a bit more lag but the kick it gave at mid range was worth it, made 198 at 1 bar on that one but the power delivery was great on road. I was restricted on compressor end due to the problem I stated above, so comp end could have been more impressive and I'm sure it would have made bigger power figures.

Cool, i rebuilt one about a year ago and I remember thinking that they would be easy to replicate.

The k1 is a bit more than that mickey! I'm pretty sure that it uses the ct12a shaft and turbine housing, which has a bigger a/r. If any one with a k1 can confirm that the code on the turbine housing is 11011.

Glad you like our work buddy. I was appalled at the quality of the previous work, was extremely disappointed by the work carried out and what you paid.

Best of luck getting it sorted

Suspension? Brakes?

Turbo seals would be blue wouldn't it? I think if it's white it's the turbo itself?

Tom.

the turbo seals being worn and the turbo having excess bearing play will both lead to oil passing into the turbine and burning a bluish white.

I would say it does sound a bit like a turbo fault, mine was exactly the same when my turbo had died. Smoke on idle and a puff when coming off the throttle.

I think it takes having a real heavy drinker to appreciate how good starlets are on fuel. When I had my glanza I felt there was times it was worse on fuel than other times. I would do all the basics like checking tyre pressure, alignment and get fueling checked, but I would not be too concerned.

3.5 v6 with a slow commute means I see about 15mpg, but I knew what I was getting my self in for!

I read the title thinking bloody hell that's good!

I know you have a dabbled mate, how many ct9 c,d,e,f's have you come into contact with, how many ct12 a,b,c,d etc? They pretty much all share the same style and design but vary very slightly in size. Size differences in The exducer and base size which wouldn't be visible until the turbo is stripped. As I say its very difficult to say what parts are used when there is sometimes a mm difference here and there.

Some hybrids are extreme, some are subtle.

On yours buddy. Its difficult to tell sizes and stuff from the pictures but in my opinion yours does look to be different from stock.

With browners one, Im not saying its not a hybrid, it could well be a jam hybrid, but somewhere down the line its been rebuilt and has too small a compressor wheel in it. The gaps between the inducer tips and the cover are huge. It will be less efficient than if it had the correct clearances.

Conor that turbo is deffo 100% a stock ct9A unit

Also fordie both them turbos are stock ct9B units! The compressor wheels are stock ct9b wheels

The shaft does not appear to be a stock shaft on that unit so it is a hybrid

un-fucking-believable, thats insane you know sweet fuck all lol

Is this a joke?

Its clear from the pics its not the right compressor wheel for the housing.

I don't know what parts jam used, but I don't need to know to tell its the wrong compressor!

As a turbo engineer you tend to know these things lol

Roller or not buddy? If its roller bearing we cant work on it.

your hybrid had a ct9 turbine end azz hence why it had such good spool up

with ct12 hybrids the problem is you experience a bit more lag over a ct9 but not much more power, and you still need to run over 1 bar to see worth while power, plus from a rebuild respective they are more difficult to obtain parts.

would go td04

I've not regretted my 350z one bit, love it. they arent comparable to glanza, as the big 3.5 v6 don't give that power kick but they do pull well in any gear and speed and are smooth with it so you don't really notice what speed your actually doing.

bear in mind 2006 onwards and you have massive tax 480ish

i get 18mpg but only do short city driving, much better on open road and long trips.

the fact its a speed vision is irrelevant, yes they are shit straight from speedvision,

but this one has been rebuild and balanced by the best in the business.....

i built it!
