Hi everyone from Russia :D couldn't find any info on the following topics here (Russia), so decided to ask you ;)

i ordered HKS Head gasket 1.6mm - are there any difficulties to install it? or i can just replace it and increase boost and fuel?

what are the best A/F ratio for 8.6 Compresion level? and what is the maximum boost that it can handel?

Will RB26DETT camshafts fit into RB25DET?

I'm also looking for close ratio gearbox - but cannot find anything.. only for RB26DETT and at about $5k cost :(

are there any substitudes for this?

thanks!

close ratio gear boxes start @ 5k

with the head gasket 1.4 bar should be ok jsut watch out for detonation as for a/f ratio's aim dfor 11.8-12 to 1 to be safe you will make more power going leaner but this is safe

rb26 camshaft will fit but you will ahve to convert from hydrolic lifters to solid to run them adn you would loose your vvt.

my site has head torqing specs on the parts and info page

cheers

meggala

btw great english

to say the truth, i didn't understand anything what is written about head torqing specs :( what's that?

what if i get HKS camshafts IN and EX lifting 8.8 and 9.0 - will i have to get rid of NVCS system?

i also order S-AFC II, do you have any maps for it already? or i should configure it specially for my engine trying to be in 11.8-12 to 1 a/f ratio?

btw, right now my boost is about 0.5 - 0.6 (max), if i make it higher there is some kind of blows out of muffler and engine stops to rev for short period of time (milliseconds), and that affects the acceleration.. i thought that there are some kind of fuel limiter and order fuel cut defenecer - will this help to solve the problem?

also, will the standart turbo give boost at about 1.0-1.2 bar?

Everyone say that the max boost for stock turbo is ~ 15 psi or ~1 Bar ..after that your pushing too much for the ceramic turbo wheel...and it will destroy itself!

Not sure where u read that? Most people from what I have read say that 12psi is the most a stock RB25DET Turbo should push. I wouldn't be all that game to try anything higher really.

benm, I'm running 14.7 psi and it probably spikes a little higher than that at the moment. No problems at all (so far... :P)

I do have a series 1, though, and the general consensus is that they can take a little more boost than your series 2 R33.

I have a '95 S1 R33.

Im abit scared of the whole 'boost' thing.

To me the higher the number = the higher the danger which is probably why i drive around on 7psi all day everyday :P

On 12psi im leaning out so no point in winding it up any higher. How long have u been running 14.7psi for? Also how long do you run it on full boost for?

I wonder what gains i'd get and how long the turbo would last.. (provided th rest of my car is working fine.

Well it's been that way for over 6 months now and I do give it a little bit every day. I've also done a fair few 1/4 runs at my private dragstrip. It felt stronger than 12 psi, so I left it there).

Also, I'm not really a big believer in high/low boost switchable setups, cos I like the idea of having the car run exactly as it was on the dyno. So that's why I only run 1 Bar. That said, I've seen a unichip setup where the guy had different maps for high and low boost and also for shit petrol. It was really good. I almost bought one when I saw it.

My car was nowhere near leaning out when I upped the boost. In fact, before I got my SAFC I had A/F ratios in the 9s! Then again, you have probably got one of these magical 95 ECUs.

I believe I do have 1 of the magical ECU's coz I currently dont have any aftermarket management of anything.

The only time I use 12psi is for Dyno runs, Trackdays and eventually 1/4's.

please dont make this another thread about what the max psi u can run the stock turbo at!! We have had a million of em already, if u r game run it higher and higher and then when it blows u will know the limits!!

As the the hks 1.6mm head gasket, thats a good buy, but u should get some cams and head work done if u r gonna replace the head as u will have all of it out anyway.

The S-AFC doesn't come with any settings pre-set. You may be able to apply someone else's map if they have a similar engine setup to you, or do it on the street yourself, but the best way will be to do it on a dyno with the proper AFR monitoring.

the problem is that we don't have any dynos here :D(( first i ordered camshafts but then decided to cancel that order cause no one will be able to configure them properly here :D shit country :)

Do you guys have any tips how to configure S-AFC without any hardware... it won't show A/F ratio, will it? :( how can i know if the mixture is rich or not?

now i'm thinking i should by PowerFC instead of S-AFC and AVC-R and all the limiter's removers... :)

BTW, is it possible to remove the rev limit and move it, let say, to 8k instead of 7k? will it help? i didn't find any info on that here in the forum.

there has 2 be a dyno somewhere there!!

u wont know what a/f ratios u r running unless u get an oxygen sensor of some kind and place it at the end of your exhaust.

u can move the redline to 8k with a pfc

    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
