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.

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
