Ok guys, i have posted a few questions in regards to this before but need some more advice, there is a very limited knowledge of this stuff in the NT.

Firstly Car Mods

Rebuilt Motor (In Progress) RB25DET

Arias Forged Pistons

Eagle Rods

Cometic Metal Head Gasket

Tomei 256 Poncams

Tomei Cam Gear

Greddy Inlet Plenum

Garrett GT30R Turbo

Bosch 040 Fuel Pump

Nismo 555cc Injectors

Nismo Adjustable Fuel Reg

Apexi Power FC

Now we are looking for 300+rwkw

The car currently has the stock ECU etc.

(1) Will it be safe to bolt everything in once the motor goes back in, like injectors, fuel pump, power fc etc & run it around on the base map on the power FC to run in the motor for the first 1000km. The reason i ask is i have spoken to two local import mechanics up here, one said bolt on the new turbo & run in the motor on the stock computer, the other said the stock computer will shit itself with the cams.

(2) How strong is the R33 GTS-t running gear, ie gearbox, tailshaft, diff, will it handle 300+rwkw.

(3) I have seen alot of skylines with this power running multiple fuel pumps & surge tanks etc, but i have been told the 040 will be fine, is that correct.

(4) Anyone know if i have overlooked something.

with regards to running it it, it should be fine for only 1000km untuned.... you only have to bed the rings in etc but your cold start and running will probably be shyte. Should just run it in on the dyno

Will the Bosch 040 be sufficent for 300 to 320rwkw, i kind of want to do everything at once and never touch the biatch again lol :mellow:

from my experiance this method gives the best result.

100 kays of light duty reving. (traffic but not much ideling)

drop oil. and filter

500 kays of "normal driving" on low boost with shit oil.

drop oil and filter

next 500 kays of normal driving with a resonable oil of the same viscosity as what you want to run. on moderate boost. say 1 bar.

so after 1000 kays its readdy to rev and be given a hard time. dont drop the oil for 2000 kays.

after that its gonna be bedded in nicly. and not use oil or blow smoke or have heaps of blowby (depends what clearances your running)

at no time should you limmit revs to a pathetic 4k. if you do that you run the risk of scratching the bores one you rev it up.

what happens is as the rings bed in a very small lip is formed at the top and bottom of where they run.

and as you rev it the rods stretch a tiny amount. efectivly making the pistons travel further up and down.

if its only used to 4k for 1000kms and then give it a bootfull the rings will get dammaged.

so after the first 100 kms slowly bring the revs up to your max revs over a period of around 150kms. once yove eased it in to that you need to just drive it normaly and give it some moderatly loaded revving. like back to second to overtake etc etc.

for a referance our race civic motor we put it together and installed it. started it up,bled the coolant and went straight to the dyno.

after 10 mins it was hitting 9 grand without issue. doesnt use oil,no blowby and doesnt turn the oil black in 1 race lol

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
