This Nissan S15 came to us with a damaged turbocharger, and the customer requested to update the turbo to a more modern unit. After discussing, we came to the conclusion to upgrade the turbo, fit a neat catch can and replace the ancient Apexi Power FC also. We upgraded his old GT2876 to a brand new PSR GTX3071R Gen 2, and installed a Haltech Nexus S2 with wideband sensor. This meant fabricating a new 3" dump pipe, as the old 2.5" rusty one was in much need of replacing. After dyno tuning the vehicle we ended up with a conservative and reliable 230KW, as we were unsure of the internals of the engine, and outright horsepower isn't the goal of this car for this customer. This has created a very solid and responsive setup for the street, and with the Haltech in control improved the drive ability immensely. The new turbo looks amazing in the engine bay, and the customer is incredibly happy with the finished product!
