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!

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.

    • I do not think that the return pipe could be the cause of your particular troubles, unless perchance it is leaking in a lot of unfiltered and unmetered air (assuming your ECU is still using AFMs). And then it could be very bad, but it shouldn't prevent you making boost. Blow then engine up from running lean? Sure. But it would make boost. You really needed to disconnect this thing from the turbo inlets and close those inlet ports off a year ago, and you should do it now.
    • Pressure Ratio = 2. ie, 1 bar of boost (assuming 1 bat absolute pressure at the compressor inlet). This is relevant because compressor maps do not have "boost" up the y-axis. They have pressure ratio.
    • Revisiting this thread again x2... 1 year later. This car has been an ongoing project between life. But, I never removed the re-circ pipe. I know, shame on me. But since then, i took it to get tuned and only making about 280hp (lame) and i'm chasing a boost issue where the car wont boost past 7-8psi. Mac valve installed. Haltech Platinum pro with the map sensor.  This is the first time i've tackled the turbo side of things, but i have that side somewhat taken apart to chase the waste gate vacuum lines. And noticed this stupid pipe again. I'm peicing together the puzzle and @GTSBoy mentioned that it was a big vaccuum chamber and said a bunch of car math stuff that I couldn't quite follow the car math (im trying). You guys think this would be the culprit? between rotting vacuum hoses?  i'm making a DIY boost leak tester this weekend. 
    • I just spent a silly amount of time reading other forums' posts and watching "whats this noise" videos on Youtube. It *appears* to be the front diff having killed a pinion bearing or similar. Its almost definitely driveline, I haven't tested to see if the car makes the noise in N though but either way I think it's gonna be pricey. This is outside my area of comfort and expertise so I'll get my BMW guys on it. The bearings are attached to the hubs so are super easy to replace (at least in comparison to press in bearings) so I'll do them also.
