Im half way into fitting my trust frount bar iv got a 120mm thick fmic. Now the drama is i have to shave some plastic of my thermo fan so i can push my cooler back more. So im thinking of upgrading the thermo, saves me shaving it, just wondering if its worth it and what is good to use.The car is in the process of getting to make 250-300 kw

Cheers

Dave

I used a cheapo Ebay special ~$75ish a year or two ago. :)

The origional is 12" I squeezed a 14" in there that flows what feels like more than double.

If you do grab a thermo grab one with an S shaped fan blade. They flow considerably more and are much quieter.

I am just about to buy 2 of these

and chuck them in when I fit my new radiator. Also going to put in a Pivot fan speed controller too - temperature controlled thermo is where it's at!

no worries cruzin33 we are all here to help :D

sweet Joel - glad to hear you are happy with it. I hoped I could get some feedback before I bought them :laugh:

With 2 x 14" (which will hang an inch over each side of the radiator) I will have 5,300cfm - which is a MASSIVE amount of air! And I will need it since I have a FMIC, putting on an oil cooler and upgraded trans cooler, plus standard a/c radiator, plus the new radiator.

After your comment about the a/c pipes I went and checked my engine bay and you are right Joel - I will only just be able to get a 16" fan in there .... bugger .... oh well that will have to do. With the Pivot controller I will be able to control when and how hard it comes on, so will have to ramp it up on hot days accordingly. I am also going to rig it up so the thermo fan keeps running even after the engine is turned off, when the water is over a certain temperature. Since I am in and out of the car all day, and spend long times stationary idling with the a/c on, I need to do this to sort out my temp issues once and for all. On 40 degree days I have seen my water temp reach 115 degrees - yikes!!

no idea and no idea. I am pretty handy mechanically so I am sure will be easy for me to install - but I can;t judge your competence :D

I am buying mine from a private someone who is looking to sell one.

I would try online retailers who sponsor SAU and nissansilvia.com if I was you.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
