Hey,

I was just defected this morning on the way back home to sleep.

Police officer added "You and your mates must be really unhappy with us defecting your little drifting event, we must have got 50 cars..."

Dunno what he was talking about, but i guess hes still feeling some sort of pump from defecting a lot of imports.

I have the following:

Front mount intercooler (cut hole through side)

Blow off valve (atmostpheric)

Greddy front strut brace

Boost controller

black steel intake pipe.

Turbo (hiflow).

What would I need to do to change them?

Any input?

In response to his comment I would of said no i am on my way home from work.

You will need to bugger off ya blow off valve.

Strut brace (prob wouldnt get told off for it but still its an A/M item so bugger that off.

Boost COntroller.

High Flowed turbo will be no issues if it's just the RB25 turbo highflowed. As there is nothing changed on the outside of the turbo.

With the FMIC have you cut up your reo bar at all? if so that may fail you. And the hole on the side just get some vac hose slice it down the middle and put that around the hole you cut for your pipe.

And I would take the induction pipe off aswell just incase.

And anything else you have done to your car

kralster, ghosting this forum.

I said to the guy im on my way home from work, i had my work gear on, reflective jacket and all, and he was a c*nt really but yeah...

I also have the car lowered, and I have 18x9 and 18x8 rims on the car. on TOP of that, i lost my f**king wheel lock nut key and I have to get a new one from Tyrepower Adelaide.

Apart from that, the exhaust aswell, 5Zigen system.

Its gonna be a long 3 weeks i reckon.

the fmic should be fine unless you've cut the reo like someone else has said! and i've also done the hose thing! i got through so there's no reason why you shouldn't with that

with the bov if you still have the standard one get it back on! i put mine on my intercooler piping and they've so far been cool with it!

i never knew strut braces were illegal! if so then the po po have been letting it pass

don't know about the boost cont! (if it's a manual or electronic one) but the intake i've got stock air box and stuff if that'll help!

as for the turbo! i think my workshop still has one of my standard r33 turbo's!

he would have been talking about the defect station they had set up out the front of mallala last weekend.

just goes to show they are more intesested in working AGAINST us rather than with us to make the streets a safer place.

having a station set up out the front of an event like that is like taking candy froma baby for them,

then bragging about it....just lame :woot:

why did you get pulled over pauly? were you driving like a ratbag?

you'll probably need to do everything that Brenton mentioned in his above post.

i dont reckon you need worry about the rims, they'll just check that your tyres have a decent amount of tread.

And even your exhaust... if you can cheekily shut it up so its under 90dB at around 3500rpm, they should pass it.

True. When they target events designed to keep the heat off the street, then they bring the heat to you, thats lame and bloody weak of them. Next, people are going to avoid these 'legal' off street events and take it onto the streets, because the cops will be targetting events such as this.

On the other side of the coin, we do have alot of import car drivers to blame for such attention. Obviously the police are doing anythying, right or wrong, to get their message across.

ah yeah was on my way to tafe

dont care where im driving at the moment cause they cant defect me again (unless i go to regency and get double defected :D)

I thought u got fines and stuff if the police see u with a defect sticker on the front? Seen a car the other day with 2. Sucks to hear that pauly, after u got ur licence back and that.

nah ive got a clearence from the sturt police station to drive the car while on defect. theres a small part on the back of the defect paper at the bottom that will grant you clearence to drive till your regency date. ive got mine under the defect sticker.

also Tangles, when i was getting defected, they pulled in a creamy stagea and defected him too and that looked pretty stock :D

    • Not a problem at all Lithium, I appreciate your help regardless. I've pulled a small part of a log where the target pressure was 28psi and it spiked to 36.4psi. I've only just begun using Data Log Viewer so if I'm sending this in the wrong format let me know.
    • Sorry had a bit of a week and haven't had heaps of time to follow this, so apologies if I've missed something - any chance of showing a log with the rpm, turbo speed, MAP, and wgdc all in one view? Definitely an "interesting" problem, and while it's definitely worth noting that there was a similar issue with the twins I'd not completely put all bets on the root cause being the same thing.  Keep an open mind, follow the data.
    • I built this engine approximately 12 years ago so my own head (brain) is a little grey on the exact hardware in the RB head, however what I recall is. Stock RB25 NEO TURBO Intake Camshaft HKS 260 degree Exhaust Camshaft (R34 GTR) RB25 NEO Turbo Springs  I ported/removed the exhaust stud humps found in the RB25 head so theres less turbulence but it wasn't ported/polished properly, just a hump removal. I've attached two pictures of the before and after to illustrate.     The ECU gets its boost reference from the nipple on the rear of the head on the intake side, behind the fuel rail. The wastegate gets its boost reference from a nipple on the cooler pipe immediately after the comp cover.  Could a decent pressure drop across the intercooler cause the wastegate to be seeing a higher PSI than what the ECU is seeing, and thus it can't control it accurately and quick enough?   We ran a line to the actuator and watched it open and close using an air compressor, while we didn't have a gauge on the line to see when it was cracking open, it was opening smoothly.  I just removed the gate now and even though the documentation says you need to open it in a vice due to preload (which I did), there wasn't any preload on the cap, which is something we noticed straight out of the box as well when new. This silver cap internally is threaded to the actuator rod that runs out the bottom of the straightgate. Not sure how I'm supposed to get this spring out to be frank.. Potentially but everyone else doesn't appear to have to stop at 500kw because of 6boosts design.  I would, but I think I'm getting to that point where if I'm going to do the head and make another 100kw, then I'm going to need a fancy gearbox and quite a few other things and 10k becomes 20k becomes 30k within a few months. I'm not necessarily sold on the idea just yet that the head is restrictive at 4000rpm (and what.. 300kw?) and yet doesn't seem to be restrictive at 7000rpm when it's making 500kw, however I'm obviously not closing the door on that theory.
    • Yeah - Half the problem is I know this sensor actually goes to 150C.. I'm pretty certain it is min of 11C. So still more data required I suppose. It's really quite hard to get the oil temp to 100+ then immediately pull over and take a reading before the temp drops. Annoyingly I suppose the range I really 'want' is likely 80 -> 120C. TBH the ecu can't really *do* anything with it, and the gauge itself is very visible... ...but you know how it is.
    • My EFR 8474 Black, made 800awhp on a roller dyno. at 25-26psi. E85. Shaft speed was around 106,000rpm 1.01 rear. The rear is maxed.  6 boost Turbosmart 60mm gate 3.5inch exhaust  Head is worked to the shithouse. Bain racing. VCam. 272 exhaust. RB28 - RB26 foundation.  You have an intake issue. Start getting proper data and I mean go back to the simple things.  - Pressure test your intake - Block off the Turbo BOV, you don't need it.  - Test pressure before and after your intercooler If your head is pretty stock, that is your issue. Especially if it is NA.  Take it off and spend $10k on it.
