thanks,will probably go for a SAFC or a good ecu,thinking the greedy or power fc,also looking at getting a oil catch can with some good quality speedflow fittings so i can get rid of those oil vapors that are a common problems for RBs when getting more power.

dont go half assed on the SAFC, although it looks cool and yeah will provide a bit more power the fact is a proper setup ecu will far outway the price and performance cost. Ihad an SAFC sold it and bought a new ecu. standard to SAFC was good..... SAFC to new ECU WAS AWESOME!

was watching the ignition dvd and they had a review on EMS,was thinking of going ems,i have heard that they run the auto's very well.on the review,stock standard evo 8,made 186kw at all fours wheels with just exhaust and pod,with EMS tuned,power went up 224kw at all fours wheels,not bad. at the moment with 195kw at the wheels,i am sure i can get to about 215 to 230kw at the wheels with the ecu,just want to know peoples thought?aslo,well done to all the skylines at drag warz on the weekend,finally people in the east might take notice of us,lots of skyline running in the 12 to 11 sec zone know in perth,well done :blink:

cheers dude,the highflow turbo is rated to about 350hp at the wheels,with the stock turbo i got about 260hp at the wheels,so i have got i bit to go,going for about 330hp at the wheels with a safe tune,also will do what you have and modify the auto gearbox as well!!

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
    • I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....
    • I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
