Hey guys,

i just bought some wiseco forged pistons 87mm bore (rb25det), now on the wiseco site it says that these pistons bring comp ratio down to 8.0 to 8.4, my question is what size head gasket to get, acl only make a 1.2mm one. im going to be running a gt3040, power fc, q45 afm. i want to run bout 25psi max just worried that a 1.2mm head gasket wont be enough but would the pistons bring the comp ratio down enough to do this.

Thanks Craved, tried using that calculator and couldnt figure it out. Bit unsure about the CR.

Is there anyone else that has done similar mods? Just want to know if i can use the 1.2mm head gasket safely on this setup...

run the 1.2 headgasket

run the 1.6 or 1.8 if you wanna lower the comp

Decking the block and machineing the head also make a difference by raising comp

if ur are decking the block as well as machineing it run a 1.4 or 1.6mm thick headgasket

I have also orderd wiseco 40thou pistons. Still confused as to what thickness gasket to uses also. A mechanic told me it is best to use standrard size gasket and get the head machined to suit? I have GT2835pros and will be running approx 22psi. Not exactly engine friendly. Would a comp ratio of say 8.6 be suitable? I want the saftely but also want to maintain the response. Obviously to bring the comp up i would need to machine the head anyways or get a thinner gasket which i think wouldnt be the safes option.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
