turns out that my car isn't running lean. I took it to cypher today and they ran there air/fuel thing on it and they said it's at a good level and if at anything slightly rich. realy confussed as to why they said it was lean on the dyno. Cypher said that it starts to lean out just over 3000rpm, but at 3500rpm the nissan computers compensate and add more fuel. sucks that i didnt get a run seeing my car is all good :) .

you will find anthony (the dyno operator) would rather turn away a car for running a power figure if he feels it could result in a failor while hes in control,let alone in front of a large croud. if it was anything over lets say 14afrs for a fair part of the chart like 500rpm then theres no saying that it wont go beyond that once it hits boost hence why he wont run it up.

it isnt the first car to be turned away for it and wont be the last either..

I know it is dissapointing to be turned away, but Ant was only working with the information he had in front of him. I would feel alot better giving my car to someone knowing that it will be looked after and respected instead of having the car pushed anyway just to get a dyno printout.

Hey Lachlan,

It's good to see that you got it looked at and better still they've given it the all clear. Therefore as a good will gesture i'm offering you another power run free of charge. Please understand though if there is no noticeable difference in AFR's, the power run will be stopped.

Please let me know if you'd like to take me up on this offer.

Cheers

Abdus :)

we'll i got another run thursday morning =) just make sure you fit me in ASAP i got workies...

=(

p.s

guys who are running lean like me, and have replaced the fuel pump.

i've been reading around, and hear that the O2 sensor on the dump pipe needs to be replaced every

40,000km... if not causes lean/rich mixes and doesnt read correctly, therefore ECU assumes mixes!

i am getting a genuine one tommorw, so'll i'll let yous know if thats the problem wednesday arvo / thursday

all vids i got are on page 2 :P sorry wasnt that many

ps;;;

Pretty sure the O2 sensor is only used for cruising and does not affect the AFRs under load.

i think you'll find its the other way

the o2 sensor is used for closed loop operation which is usually the first coupla min of driving after startup and constant throttle change/load

    • 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.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • 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.
    • Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
