then again i see you have 300 plus rwkw standard internals?

nope my motor is now fully forged pistons, rods cams etc u name it its got it....300rwkw on just 17psi

built by Willall Racing, Nisspeed, and tuned by Morpowa

i asked Boostworx who pays for it and they said i had to at my own expense, they really didn't care to be honest, im sure im not the only one here that has had grief with them....i guess im the first to speak up.

Your manifold, while it looks like its a pro job with the cut and shut, is a really really bad idea,since the runners are designed for air coming in at the normal throttle position, now you have the TB at the front... this means cylns 5-6 are less likely to get the same amount of air.

if you had the manifold on the motor when it blew up, i dare say it could have played a huge part in it.

i guess i got another reason 2 blame boostworx 4 blowing up my motor because they are the place that did the cut n shut!!!!!!!!!!

Who wanted the manifold like that??? Simon isn't saying the cut and shut was the problem, Think about where the inlet pipe goes standard........... In the middle, this is to make the air get dispenced evenly and appropriatly, not a crap load at the front and stuff all at the back!!

Just an update - I ended up going to Morpowa, glad I did as they sorted me out nicely. It definately needed a tune, cruising was fine so no problems with the O2 sensor, but the AFR's were for some reasons in the low 10's. We weren't quite sure why, as the car hadn't really changed since the last tune apart from a different catback Exhaust (still 3").

Regained 20rwkw with the new tune and hopefully this will fix the fuel economy issues.

    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
