Hi guys, most of yas all seem to know wat ur on about with regards to skylines/vl's (RB engines) so heres my situation.

I have a VL Berlina 87 model, have a large ass bore throttle body on it that my father made for me, CAI with a pod hangin off it and 2.5" straight through. Extractors, stage 2 cam and head work (courtesy of my father) will be getting done soon and it should be pretty beasty. Its strangely fast now as it is haha but i want faster.

He did an engine for a guy who had stage 2 cam on an RB30ET and he cant remember wat ECU he used for it. Wondering if you guys new wat i could use for one to cope with an RB30E with a stage 2 cam in it, and preferably not a whole ECU set up, rather a piggyback comp or something easier and simpler...

Any suggestions welcome,

Thanks guys

Josh

apexi SAFC? or powerchip?

something like that.. there's a handful around - just comes down to what is easiest to tune, and if there's anyone in your area that can... no point buying something and having to take the car interstate just so someone can throw it on the dyno to tune.

Alright thanks man, I will run that by one of the guys at a dyno shop around here. But i've been told there pretty useless mothers workin those dynos so i might have to travel to try and find a not-shit dyno mob. But still they might be able to get that gear in and be able to tune it (hopefully).

Is that all i will need though to suit the stage 2 cam?

Thanks guys,

Josh

It depends if you just want the motor to "cope" as stated in your original post, or if you want to be able to squeeze every last little bean out of it.

I'm running a stage 3 equivalent in my RB30e with standard ECU, so there's no reason why the stock ECU wouldn't cope with a stage 2, providing the timing is properly adjusted to suit.

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
