You seemed to have missed the point, but thanks any-who Beau.

EDIT: 5min of power Googleing had at least 5 ppl from SAU, Wikipedia and users from 3 different Skyline affiliated forums / sites say your incorrect... and non say you are correct. NVCS is on R33 25's, VCT is on the Neo's. Do you rem where you read about VVL?

Edited by GeeTR
yeah i tried telling some one else here that...

the rb's VVL is variable valve lift.... not variable cam advancement/retardment, it is not

like a honda vtec.

under each cam lobe is a hydraulic lifter that acts like a mini hydraulic ram expanding and contracting depending on the oil pressure and how much oil the ecu lets flow via the solenoid controlling it.

on a normal non vvl rb these hydraulic lifters are replaced by normal solid buckets.

when this occours it creates more lift increasing the airflow around the valves as it enters the

combustion chamber.

Is that why R34's have solid lifters and VCT?

The VVL wasn't found on any RB25...hence no RB25VET exists....and btw Nissans NEOVVL was the equivalent to VTEC, not the VCT(NVCS)

Every 12 months the dyno results get higher and higher, first it was 200rwkw in '06, then 220 in '07, now 240 '08 on a stock turbo?

Please... 240rwkw on a stock turbo is a load of rubbish. Get out there and run a 112mph (minimum) pass and i'll believe 240rwkw.

IMPUL ECU doesnt mean a lot, just a chip etc really, with an unknown map it almost makes it more of an issue than the stock ECU.

Also - didnt the Tuner tell you how much boost you were running?

Honestly i think the place your choose for the work is being fairly lazy with all of it. If possible i'd head somewhere else... although being Darwin your probably restricted in that matter.

Also 1bar on a stock turbo, is silly.

Yeah mate. There was a place here, Though he has closed down at teh beginning of the month. I hear theres 2 others dyno's around though I've not heard many good things about them when it comes to imports so I'm worried as theres not many 34's here yet also so knowledge of them will be a little more limited also. My previous tune was for 10psi (hot here so keep it safe on the I guess stock turbo).

I suppose the best thing to do is to get the front/dump, fmic, powerfc and get a tune done to see where its at then?

    • That R31 was so cool. Only did Orange Park once. Scared the hell out of me.
    • Selling my TE37SLs since I've switched to smaller wheels.  They're for sale in Japan but it's pretty simple to send them overseas; USA excluded, since JPPost isn't sending there at the moment. Specs Front: 18x9.5j +22 5x114 Rear: 18x10j +20 5x114 Price: 320,000 JPY/ 3,285 AUD (current FX rate) Condition: a few scratches here and there, no bends, distortions or cracks.  Tires will not be included for international buyers, I'll get them dismounted before shipping. They're currently listed on yahoo auction and will be shipped in Japan with the tires if they sell here. Shipping costs to Aus: EMS (1-2 weeks): AUD 1,175 (current FX rate) Sea (2 months): AUD 460  (current FX rate)
    • The alloy coolant reservoir has a sight glass, so as long as I can see coolant in the sight glass it's GTG, as for PS, it isn't anything catastrophic if it gets low, and as it hasn't lost a drop since I have owned the car I cannot see it being an issue, even after putting the "big block" 2.5 in....LOL The only time it gets slightly messy is at oil changes, as the oil filter sits above the frame, and I need to use a plastic bottle with its bottom cut off to catch the flow when loosening the filter
    • Good on you for taking on the job, but it is a big one. Even if you have bolt on manifold and turbo, you will need: Post throttle pressure source to boost controller to wastegate (and FPR, and ECU/MAP sensor) Pre throttle pressure source to top of BOV(s) Oil feed - you can take that from the standard port in the middle of the block Oil return to block under the turbo - this is much trickier than it seems to route a decent/wide pipe past the manifold. You really can't use rubber hose because it is way too hot there, and also the oil out of the turbo core is a bit frothy so it needs to have a decent diameter Water feed - you can take that from the standard port in the rear of the block. Water return - mine runs to a T into the heater box return, just make sure you don't create a high point making bleeding hard. All of those lines should use 200 series style teflon braided hose with heat shielding because everything needs to be routed past the manifold. Also a turbo beanie is a really good idea to minimise the chance of the car catching fire (under bonnet lining in particular) You also need to decide a cam cover breathing solution as well, will you vent externally via a catch can (probably illegal) or return to the intake (plumbing required and can oil up everything over time) Keep in mind the intake and exhaust piping in the engine bay will be custom so you either need to be able to fab ally and steel or have someone you can get a car that isn't running to. Get the wideband fitting welded into the dump pipe at the same time. Also, just my opinion, a screamer pipe attracts attention and doesn't add power, I'd plumb it back if you want to be allowed to keep the car on the road. BTW do you know anything about how healthy the motor is, and what power you are targeting? Doubling or tripling the factory power on an unknown motor is a little risky. Also fuel system will need some attention (pumps, high current hanger, direct power and earth feed, injectors etc)
