Turn the boost up.15psi is nothing for that turbo.But i wouldnt be doing it till you get some Ks up on the motor.

At 15psi this should make at least 300rwkw, a T78 can make 300rwkw at 15psi. Boost is definately not the problem.

In saying that, maybe is a high pressure boost leak? Can you check the plumbing? Use a compressor, and pressurise the system. Go right up to 30psi and see if you can hear anything. You'll need to fabricate some sort of inlet that you can hook the compressor up to.

Compression test.... leak down test??.... no fkn idea what it means but my cuz said it might help since you did some head work.

8:1-8.5:1 compression: 150-170 psi per cylinder

8.5:1~9.5:1 compression: 170-210 psi per cylinder

9.5:1~11:1 compression: 210-275 psi per cylinder

also make sure there isnt more than +-20 psi difference between each cylinder

also he suggested pressure testing the intercooler system for leaks....

rofl, who told you this? A Brand new RB25 makes 172psi and its comp ratio is 9:1. Its definately not accurate. What if the engine is worn?

Also, there shouldn't be any more than 5psi variance between the cylinders. 20psi? haha. If my engine had even 15psi variance, I'll pull it down..

seen a 3" exhaust make 893rwhp, so that wont be an issue

You're right, a 3" ex should flow the numbers no probs BUT if the cat substrate has collapsed, coked up etc (same for the muffler/s) there's a good chance it won't. Spend the time, drop the ex in front of the cat & at least then you'll know one way or the other for sure. Assumptions can very easily lead to f**k-ups & waste a whole lotta time

yeah soory, should said i was sorta referring in general to the flow of the exhaust, not allowing for blockages

whilst im getting specs on cams we thought we'd throw in sum standard rb25det ones

to see i that would make a difference..

tried to start it tonite and engine had nothing, sounded like no compression..

motor would spin but not normal sounding at all ?????

mayb cams not opening valves ??

will try get pics up...

hey carl, how u been mate? been alrite jus busy with work and over this car...

cant remember exactly what rpm will get the dyno print out, but it jus seems to go almost straight up to 245rwkw then flatten across, prob around 4500rpm not to sure tho..

also trying to figure out the problem on th lower boost, but might try 20psi and see what happens

Usually it shouldn't be an issue going from a large lift cam to a small lift cam but did you bleed down the lifters before you put the cams in?

if it has solid lifters and fitting the standard cams which may have a larger base circle might be causing the valves to stay open slightly making the cylinders lose compression.. as cube said, check the clearence.

If the head has been converted to solids, and now has hydraulic cams, the the opening ramps designed to close the lifter will be opening the valve and therefore the duration of the valve lift will be huge, causing it to bleed off compression.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
