easy to get the parts and have it engineered for road-worthyness, all GTT as you've mentioned.

just dont see the 500rwkw point tbh.... whats wrong with a stomping manual rb25det fully built with 300rwkw?

hell Id be dropping in a fully forged RB26DETT myself, twin GT3076's, high-300kw if it was my project.

gotta say 240rwkw in an auto, rb25det with single GT3076, mmmmmm NiiiiCE :D

i just wanna get to know about turbo's a bit more

ill prob end up stripping down the N/A engine and doing whatever with it - havent really thought about it yet.

ill keep it stock and go from there i think :)

This afternoon I did a few things to the 32 (Also discovered it has an exhaust manifold leak :)), including cleaning the AAC, and AFM, but I have a question about my air filter.

I have a K&N pod, I cleaned it with the detergent, and it is in the shed drying overnight. Do I put the filter oil on it before refitting it to the car? I have heard people say it wrecks the AFM or something if you do, but I'm just after some clarity so I know for now and the future. I am using a K&N recharge kit.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :D

ah not really a waste of time
So that means my car was a waste of time aswell? me and a lot of other people think that engine conversions aren't a waste of time.

AWD, RB26DETT in a car that looks like a GTST, FTMFW! :)

dude, go tell that to every other person out there that does engine swaps in cars.

I'm pretty sure I wasn't referring to every instance of an engine swap. In 99.9% of circumstances I agree, engine conversions/swaps are NOT a waste of time and money. :D

u never had it either fishy, you never had your car :) granny shifting.......you know how it go's

hows the vspec looking these days? got stuck into that motor or what?

actually your right, i've never heard my car make those stupid flutter noises!! =D

and im not sure how its looking... dusty i presume.. i dont think i've seen it in well over a month and same with motor, nfi what happening with it =\ its all a bit depressing really =(

bloody breatho setup on pt road and down my street!!! WTF

so ppl cant pull into side street before the breatho..

i got pulled in to the one in the side stret in the falcoon..

bloody bastards..

I completely disagree - I wish they had the resources to put up 200 breathos every single night.

If you have more than 1 drink an hour and drive a car, then you are a stupid f**king tool who deserves to die. The number of people who still drink drive is bloody insane, and the worst thing is that the vast majoirt of accidents they are involved in the other party dies, and the drunk person survives .... this is completely the wrong way it should be.

There is no excuse - I actually wish they made the law 0% tolerance, like many other coutries around the world. If you want to have ANY alcolohol to drink, then don't drive. Make other plans. It is as easy as that.

I think they should quadruple all penalties, effective immediately.

or i couldve just sucked at fitting it last time. ha. ill borrow a scope from dads work and have another look. are the rear housings the same size between 25/28's?

edit, more quick research, 25's have .80 rears, 28's have .64's, definitely remember mine being .64, so i dont have a damn clue how or why it didnt fit before.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
