yeah aren't they fixing all the pot holes or whatever

was wrong with the track??

Yeh i believe they are resurfacing most, if not all of the track so they can run other races there and also better for the drifters!

But once it comes back it SHOULD be heaps better! AIR was starting to look like a backstreet in Sailsbury...........Oh it basically is!

  • 2 weeks later...

but ur from victoria!

i got my car tuned with a new boost controller. and got 208.6rwkw on 1 bar (15psi i think) - ofcourse at boostworx... shaun the champ charged me like nothing and i got more power at less boost. previous was 205.4 at 1.1bar. and they say rb20s suck. i could easily run more boost but its enough for the street.

plan is to either put a gtr engine in this or a 25 if im on a budget or build a 25/30. end of this year as i finish uni half way through this year unless i buy a gtr also. so im gona drive this engine till it blows its only done 67000kms so far.

felt that i could share my plans with u guys.

wow SA wasteland sucks. i hada scroll back 2 pages to find it lol

We don't talk crap here in SA(well much anyways) :P

Raz, nice output there mate........bieng a 25 head myself, I do believe that would be a good option! You thought of maybe a SR20det, Something different(it's ok we won't think any different of you......you still have a Skyline!!!!) :D

just a turbotech one... i was sceptical at first but it works well tricking the wastegate and holds well boost. i was looking at more expensive options such as greddy profecb. but i dont want to switch boost levels i can drive accordingly to do that lol.

25 seems the cheap option im opting for at least 300rwkw with poncams and rebuild or else its not worth it. sr20s would be cool butt... itd be making similar power maybe a little more and little more response... 25/30 offers the most bang for buck another likely option.... and the gtr engine u cant go past in terms of sound and engineering but very expensive.

having owned a rb30et id say a 25 (possibly 25/30) would offer the best compromise between the age old debate of power delivery

id go with whatever gives me the most torque and if im not wrong the 25/30 comes 1st in this department followed by the 25det.

is that turbotech bleedvalve your using the same one as what is/was being sold on these forums? they work an absolute treat. alot better then my ebc, suprisingly.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
