How much does turbo light , royal purple and SIN cost? i my self use mobile one and have done for years. im planing on trying motul because i hear its a bit cheaper.

Most of these oils run around the 55/75 dollars for 5 litres. Money well spent.

Last time I bought my oil it was $89.99 at autobarn slacks creek I am hoping there is somewhere cheaper than that as I do think they have raised the price from $79.99 (5L) Anyone know where to get a better deal on Royal Purple?

also whats your views on oil filters I have been using the KnN ones so far are the cheaper brands as good? what about genuine?

Another vote for Royal Purple.

I have dyno readouts from a study conducted by Fast Fours or Hot Fours (can't recall off hand) showing Royal Purple topping the list for power with Mobile 1 coming second.

They used a almost stock Honda Integra and they tried the various oils in it 1 by 1 and dyno'd it with the various oils in.

Everyone has an opinion on what oil is good and for the most part nobody has any scientifically proven reason why. For this reason alone I chose to try Mobil 1 and Royal Purple and I must say that I could swear I felt the difference if thats possible.

Cheers,

Ben.

i have attached the results of an oil comparison taken from zoom magazine. i don't have the article as i have issue 109. they have printed this table at the start saying one of their previous issues (105) ran that article but the table wasn't formatted correctly

as you can see...

most power came from: nissan genuine, mobil 1, castrol magnatec, fuchs titan

least power came from: pennzoil platinum, valvoline xld

does anyone have a copy of issue 105 for more info on their testing?

Is the dyno power read out a good comparison as to how the oil protects?

no, but how can one possible determine long term protection in a clinical manner?

different engines, different condition, different drivers

it would be impossible to do a double-blinded randomised control trial comparing oil types.. that's the gold standard for clinical evidence :D

Try "Hi Octane" for a cheaper buy price on royal purple. They've been advertising a lower price than autobarn.

I got my last 5litres for $75 and that sheet (power and oil pressure) seems true on the road- I noticed a difference over Motul with more power and oil pressure and temp stability out of the royal purple

PS. REDLINE on the list is the same Royal Purple 10/40 I believe

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I said Garrett style. Not Garrett genuine. And something in the G30 550 range is what you want. Not those pokey little old fashioned T28 sized things. The intake ports in the head are small. There is little benefit in fattening up the runners and leaving ths actual ports small. Just run what you've got. And on the subject of Nistune vs Haltech etc..... You know you can control the transmission with decent standalone ECUs these days, right? No need to keep any of that old Nissan bullshit. Don't get me wrong - I use Nistune on my Neo. But it is a DET, so the number of bodges and workarounds I had to do to make it work in a chassis without ABS, TCS, etc, is quite small compared to the herniated arsehole you will have trying to make it work on a motor that doesn't have some of the things that the turbo ECU wants to see. Just easier to bite the bullet and go aftermarket outright.

      Hmm. Only when the f**king thing is actually working. Still can't find the leak. And that's with dye being put in the last 3 times!

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By R34_GT to Turbo · Posted

      Ok so will run the piping over that radiator and no plenum it is. Put that money towards a Haltech and see what suits. Any ideas something like an elite 2000 or 2500 right? My long term goal is 300kw e85 and manual swap and that’s a dream come true. For now will be 200kw and auto the stock rb25det neo intake isn’t too expensive with throttle body. If I was to have the port matching done, Would that be better than the stock de intake as the det has bigger holes plus has the spots for sensors etc? And suit more long term?  appreciate the advice?

      You understand AFR is not the only thing that contributes to it pinging yeah? Funnily, what the AFR gauge will tell you when it likely is pinging, is going to make you think things are really safe and good.
