oh yeah

im investigating instant power for my 4wd too

http://www.dieselgasaustralia.com.au

"This Diesel/Gas system will increase power and torque by up to 20% (sometimes more). This power increase is due not only to the increased combustion efficiency, but also the LPG itself produces power as it burns. So even the most economical gas map and driving technique will produce some additional power. A more powerful setting can still produce better economy than running on straight diesel."

"The power and torque increase applies over the whole rev range. Turbo lag is all but eliminated, and engine noise and vibration is dramatically reduced all the way through to maximum revs. The driver will notice fewer gear changes and higher average speeds, particularly on hills and when towing"

and for an equivalent for what i should expect

2002 Nissan Patrol GU Coil Cab

TD42T – 4.2l 6Cyl turbo diesel

5 Speed Manual

80,000km when fitted

Average fuel consumption 15l/100km

Standard Power: (red line)

96.6hp @ 3200rpm

840lbft @ 2600rpm

DieselGas Power (green line):

141.5hp @ 2750rpm (+46%)

1295lbft @ 2040rpm (+54%)

so, turbo people, looking at getting a new turbo for the s14, as the stocker is one its way out. not thinking anything massive, got it down to a garrett GT28R or GT28RS, just wondering if anyone here has any experience with them? ill probably end up browsing the forced induction forum soon, just seeing if theres anyone here whos used either first.

do it matty i wanted to put the skyline on gas but couldn't fit a donut tank in the boot LPG = higher octane than fuel

only problem with gas as i know is that it just doesnt have density and it requires some special injector to force the gas into each cylinder when its under boost.... my r31 had the simple setup, where as the gas is diffused into the air pipe before the plenum, but they aren't sufficient for turbos (and the fact that the lpg burns at a higher temp which could be an issue for some turbos)

-D

Well depends on what your really after Dave.

I have heard of people putting R34 stock turbo on and having a decent power increase by that.

GT2871R isnt a bad option either as i think thats what Dale is running in his 180 and is making quiet nice power.

So really what you want is to find out the maximum for your other parts ie. injectors, afm and etc

and then go with a turbo that wont be maxing those components out otherwise you might as well spend a lot of $$ and get everything done....ie injectors, afm, fmic, coil packs, ecu tuning etc

Hope this helps Dave

cheers krish, completely forgot about dale. shall have to have a chat with him. 34 turbo sounds interesting, thinking lag could be an issue with the missing 500cc though. just looking for nice streetable power, somewhere around the 150-160rwkw mark.

Then for that Dave i would say go with a RB turbo

from what i have heard it reduces lag on a RB20 so it shouldnt be laggy on a SR20 me thinks

good luck with whatever you do mate

I think one of my mates chucked a R34 turbo on his RB20 and made something like 180rwkw with fmic, fuel pump, pod and 14psi of boost

so wont suprise me Dave if you make a significant gain from that mate

lol they should fix the god damn roads

some of the roads around adelaide is absolute shocking

ohh and penny if you pay yearly rego you save something like $100-$150

IMHO thats a lot of money to be saved on rego

well at least thats another months worth of insurance for me really

Yeah I have decided that next time round I will do it for 12 months.

Its just crazy that we have to pay so much just to have a car on the road.

IMO push bikes should have to pay, they use the road too!! not to mention being a major traffic hazard at times.

I should be posting in the what really pisses you off thread huh.

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
