MisterTwo,

a friend of mine took his car (R32 GTS-T) to Technik Tuning for the first time not that long to get his Unichip tuned for 20psi (as his unichip was tuned for 16-17psi) and when they gave him a prinout of his power/AFR and power/MAP to show that it was on 20psi he thought it was all sweet (but a bit down on power 195rwkw compared to 222rwkw) until he drove it home only to see that it was back on 15psi and that it felt slower than b4.

He called them up later on to ask what the deal was and they told him some crap excuse that they couldn't control boost up near 20psi so they turned it back down to 15psi and tuned it there.

That's all fine, but they didn't tell him that when he picked up the car so that's dodgy if u ask me.

Also, how do you figure that $300 later, your car is going slower than what it was prior to the tune.

So, given this i'll let you make your own decision, but fyi, you won't go wrong with Ben from RacePace Motorsport and your money will be very well spent. He is a gun when it comes to Skylines and Power FCs not to mention all other ECU's and he takes a lot of pride in his work.

FYI, he is the guy that tuned Leewah's GTR which made 495rwkw at the MAS in his R33 GTR. He also built his R33 GTR which is making a shit load of power aswell.

      Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
