Thnx bud. I love my hondas as well as my nissansOriginally Posted by mugen_ctr
nice! always been a fan of single turbo GTR's, good to hear someone hear has experience in Nissans
Though i wonder, does compressor surge happen more often on bigger engine/turbo setup with high power like urs? ive numerous magazines about it but never really grasped why some bigger turbos suffer compressor surge
Comp surges occurs more than so on any turbo that has increased boost levels higher than stock and no bov or blocked bov.
More common so on bigger turbos as most of them higher than a AR60 trim are mostly oil cooled only and not watercooled. Therefore more prone to heat and uses thrust bearings rather than bAll bearings.
Thats why once u start to upgrade to bigger turbos, they are generally made x/gated types due to comp surges and made for higher HP...
Hence cooling and tuning is a cruicial factor in boosted cars...the cooler the better. And the less lag the better.
