I'll see how I go, Haven't touched the sump yet, it still needs a fitting welded into it for the oil drain but I have to clean the thing first, its a mess and full of sludge etc.

Have to work out whats happening with the Intake cam. I have one cam cap that stops the cam from turning, another one is a little tight but the cam still spins, other then that it spins beautifully. Exhaust cam is fine, so not sure how 1 out of 14 cam caps is so bad. Not sure what I'm going to do about it yet

Just talked to the guy I got the head off, said the cam caps might have got mixed up which would explain why I have 2 that are tight, look offset towards the intake side a little, so hopefully he can find the othes otherwise the caps will have to get skimmed and line bored

I'm about 90% sure that they are stamped with numbers so it shouldn't be too hard to get the right ones.

It really sucks that they were mixed up though, that's a big no-no, makes the head neary useless without expensive machining.

Oh yeah, they are all stamped with their position. But I4 and I2 are tight and the guy I bougth them off had two engines/heads apart at the same time so hopefully they just got mixed up from 1 head to the other and he can find them, will be the easiest and cheapest fix.

These things happen but, I suppose when the time comes I'll have to see whats cheaper - a new head or line boring mine

Got some Nissan bits today, nothing to exciting but necessary all the same.

Had a play with some wrinkle paint today:

Think I'll go with this on the intake manifold, but think I'll just keep the cam covers a flat paint job.

Where did you get the wrinkle paint from, Callan? I gotta paint my plenium and covers too. Any variaty of colours?

I got black wrinkle paint from repco (auto barn was sold out of black and only had red) these are the only two colours I saw. I just did the wrinkle black and then painted silver engine enamel over the top. Hopefully the Plenum will look like a genuine Greddy when I'm done

Things seem to be coming together all of a sudden, instead of one problem after another lol. Going to work out the compression ratio in the next few days. Going to be alot of screwing around to work it out but I guess you get that :)

Ordered my Hypergear turbo today, looks like it will shoot over 300rwkw on 98 and 350rwkw on E85 (when that gets here) but its a pretty experimental turbo at the moment so just have to wait and see. But I think I'll be less disapointed then i was with the HKS Turbo I'll put it that way :)

6boost jake.. they do hi mount aswell. i can source a high mount similar style and quality for around 850 for a 20/25

A 6boost for that price? Or just same style?

Well I'm after a new head now. Going to be too much hassel to fix up the 2 cam caps that don't match

Can never be to sure :P

someone told me before I bought the 6boost that It should only cost 850ish but I had to pay more, so was wondering if I was just looking in the wrong places

6Boost have never been under $1000 to my knowledge

Has anyone else seen that grey GT-R getting around? I've seen it twice now, 1 time just north of the Forgan bridge then the other at night on Slade pt road.. I have a feeling it lives at Sladey. My god it's sexy.

I'd be after a lowmount for a rb25det but need to save some pennies first...

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
