Hey all,

Car is going into the workshop on Monday...

Turbo will be removed and sent down to GCG for my Highflow :D

Jaycar gear should be on the way very soon as well...

Highflow is costing me $1500 due to a slight sponsorship as well ;)

:D Muahahahaha :D

Chris, are you taking your car to a workshop? Is it just the turbo you're removing and replacing at this stage?

I'd say do it yourself if you have the space, time and tools (or get your hands on a basic toolkit). Removing the turbo is pretty easy, and replacing it when you get it back isn't much harder, if at all...

There are some fiddly bits and some tight gaps, and a digital camera will come in handy if you think you'll forget where stuff goes, but it's all good and helps you learn. And if you don't have to pay someone to do it, as well as store the car in the mean time, then it's money in your pocket which can be later spent on more bits or further tuning... ;)

Or maybe, if you mean "workshop" as in dedicated area where you can do the work yourself, then you can just ignore me and carry on as above...

<_<

Geeze man, best of luck with it *envious*

What boost will you be running?

Are you going to fork out $150 for a Fuel Pressure Regulator?

Or injectors?

Youve got the exhaust(?), GTT 'cooler, & the new bits, all tuned together.

What power output are you expecting?

Id imagine with a FPR you'd be able to reach 180awkw at ~14psi fairly steadily.......

1. With the two settings, Probably 10 psi and 15psi

2. On the books Brendan :) Will come with time...

3. Yep, So Fuji Catback, IEBC, DFA, GTT Cooler, HKS Panel. I'm expecting once tuned to reach the 180awkw mark as you said. Then add the FPR, GTR Fuel Pump and a Split dump pipe.... Should reach the magic 200awkw. Which is where it shall stay :D

how much are they charging you to install and calibrate the IEBC, DFA and mixture display?

(...mixture display, is that like an air / fuel ration gauge?)

      How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
