PM's are nice, but
Originally posted by 4signs The car doesnt build boost until 4100, but when it hits it hiiiiiitttttss. Im probably going to switch to a t3/t4 set up, I think I can benifet more with that turbo on my current set up
Is this the reason why you're gonna switch to a T3 hybrid, due to the lag with the TO4E/B? I've been reading and asking a lot of questions between these two turbo with both having pros/cons. One minute I'll talk to someone then I'm convinced the T3 is the way to go, then of course I'll talk to someone else and they'll convince me the T4 is the way to go and this shiit goes back and forth. And to make matters worst, the characteristics of both these turbos can be altered with different trims/wheels, you know what I'm talking about.
Anyways, I commend you for being informative about your project. Over the years folks weren't always so informative about any project. As you can probably see why with your PM/inbox being blown up with all sorts of odd ball questions, can I put a TTZ eng in my Max, can I make my FWD into RWD, etc. (I have to admit I did drop you a pm(s) about your calipers and turbo) It took a while to weed out these questions and members, within the last 12 months things have been turning around with the occasional flames here and there, which is a natural bi-product of these forums. Once again good luck and thanks,
By the way, did you ever mentioned if you're a auto or 5spd?
I-84 or I-95 
hey i just wanna ride before he leaves

I was also thinking of using a 30 or 50 shot of nos, and leaving the current turbo ( a nos system will cost about the same as new turbo)
Im just going to wait until I get the car home (Boston)
yes im a 5 spd.

a couple questions.... what are you doing for fuel? looks like a vortech FPR on the firewall? (hmmm, like mine? http://www.ee.utulsa.edu/~mblehm/pics/car/turbo/FMU.jpg )
next... what about all of the crankcase ventilation hoses going into the midpipe? those need to be on the non-pressurized side of the intake. otherwise, you're going to pressurize your crankcase too and cause leaks... not a good thing.

4Signs did you get my email?

VE POWER! Maybe I could get 15psi with my 257k engine.

I took the car out for about an hr, and I think I blew out one of the turbo seals. The leak is coming from the exhaust side. The return line had a kink in it and block the return line from flowing back to the oil pan. I replaced the line with a 19mm hose I got from napa. The line I used before was one of those return hoses you buy at the hardware store for washing machines.
No kinks, and the oil leak on the turbo looks to be minor for the moment. So I recommend that no one uses that line unless they plan on putting a washing machine in there Max.

the tranny on the max that is running 25 psi. if he didn't build the tranny he's going to tear it apart. the Z's are lucky. they can throw in the z32tt tranny that, if i remember correctly, will handle 600 hp, the 87-89 Z nissan built tranny will handle around 500 hp, and the t5 will handle around 400, i believe. i wouldn't touch the t5 after having to deal with my s**t box tranny(ies).

in the garage where my car should be
just kidding. i've been waiting to get healed up to do some work on it and the doctor just recently said i can start weight lifting again meaning i can finally start working on my engine. i'm ordering a wiring harness hopefully today and i found a cheap turbo that should hold me over until i can get the money for a t3/t4.
from what i can tell the trannies are the exact same for a few other nissan fwd cars. i do belive the sentra is included. i think doing the cryo treatment should do the job but if not titanium parts aren't a bad idea, just pricey. hopefully i'll never have to come to that though.
