after a couple more hours swearing and grunting, a 6 pack, an angle grinder, 2 scissor jacks, and a borrowed welder. the rear cat flange lines up, and has been fitted. awesome.

yay dave

somehow my work location for today got passed on to everyone else that needed to know except me

i rocked up to st marys depot to only be asked by the contract supervisor why i wasnt at morphett vale. seems the people that needed to be told got told sans myself

many lols

so Dave would half your problems be due to you having a S13 turbo on your S14 and not actually Andrews dump pipe, to which someone told you to get a T25 turbo on your car :thumbsup::)

lol. i dont even know anymore. its done. nuff said. but the first dump and front were waaaaaaaay too long. ill be checking the numbers on the turbo again as soon as i can get my grubby mits on a scope.

The turbine housing on the T25g and the T28 are the same so the dump will fit both. When Andrew made up the exhaust what exhaust did you have on the car? I know that the fir instance the only difference between teh CA and SR dumps/ exhaust on S13's are the bolting pattern on the dump/exhaust so when you fit a SR exhaust on a CA you ahve to mod/rotate the cat flanges so they match up.

On a side note a mate is flying me to Melbourne on Wednesday to check this for him and drive it back if there's nothing wrong with it (he doesn't currently have a licence).

    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
