i recently fitted a FMIC kit to my r32, when we pulled the pipes off they had noticable oily residue in them. Is this normal?

Also car seems to be hesitant to rev after 4000 and only really revs to maybe 6000 sometimes.

what could be causing this? as im new to skylines (pistons actually)

How much oil is there? My supra has an oily film\residue in the intake piping aswell and have been assured by other import owners\mechanics that it is normal for turbo cars with a fair bit of mileage. If there is heaps though it is most likely your turbo seals are gone and they will need rebuilding.

Does your car blow any smoke?

got told this morning by my mate that when i took off there was smoke (black) coming out of my exhaust. But when it warmed up, no smoke. really only because i had just started it that morning.

black smoke is normal = running rich.

i have always been under the impression alittle bit of oil buildup in the cooler pipe was ok

      Engine model

      By Bwagz · Posted

      I bought an engine from a friend of a friend many years ago, it was sold to me as a RB25det Neo.    recently I started pulling it apart and noticed that the intake manifold was pretty different from others that I had seen on RB engines so did a bit of research and found that it was a non turbo manifold. So I’m sceptical now that it is a NEO DET and just thinking it’s a NEO DE (it does have a turbo strapped to it currently).    can you identify the engine model from the numbers on the block?

      Yeah you can. Cable tie the gauge to a windscreen wiper, or run it into the car and hold it with one hand, or have the neighbour's kid run alongside and tell you what it says.

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I've never understood why this bothers people. Surely you'd be looking at a T3 flanged Garrett style thing, rather than a TD? You're unlikely to push a +T hard enough to need that much fuel. If you're not starting with most of the things you need to do that (ie, the bloody ECU!), you're better off just going Haltech/Link. You wil hate life a lot less. No. Just no. Just turbo it as is.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      Have you noticed if the squeak changes with temperature or after driving in the rain?

      Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks
