Ok, now I'm convinced that I need some new extractors too! :uh-huh:

Is the transplant fairly straight forward? And will the Coby extractors bolt straight into the rest of my exhuast system which is stock?

Umm, guys, just thought I'd say something, the original manifold keeps being referred to as "stock extractors". They aren't, the original one is just a cast iron exhaust manifold. Extractors are as the Coby ones- e.g tubular, better flow than stock. Actualy, "Tube Headers" is more accurate as a term, as extractors are really only a particular design of tubular headers which act to "extract" gas from the cylinder by clever use of cylinder pulses.

cheers,

hey guys, i've finally fitted the coby extractors on the car. cost $99. car is much more responsive from around 2500 rpm. i've ended up taking the pod filter off and putting the stock box on with trust panel filter, the sound is soo lound with the pod on!

only prob i have now is that for some reason it hangs low like dogs balls and scrapes on my driveway :P not sure which part exactly is scraping, i suspect its the part where it bends. gotta get outta the car and have a proper look.

oh btw, my fuel economy is really poor now. when i first got my car stock as a rock, i got like 10kms from 1 litre which i thought was really good. put pod on went worst, extractors on gone worst again. i think my car needs a tune. i'm going to pop down to bmt soon.

hey denny,

its weird, my fuel economy slightly improved?! the extractors do hang quite low don't they, it makes me reluctant to lower my car.

i will organise that dyno day we spoke about as soon as i finish my exams (november 10) so a few of us n/a guys can compare numbers and not feel uncomfortable about the big numbers the turbos pull :( is there anything to 'tune' on a standard skyline? i was told u need at least SAFC or something before dyno tuning is worthwhile?

cheers

hey greg, with a standard skyline i guess all they can do is advance the ignition timing. i've actually got the old school generation 1 safc, the one with the knobs on it lol. theres only like 5 tuning points though. i picked it up really cheap so thought might as well give it a try. anyone else got ? u can turn it up -30 or +30, i take it when u go towards minus thats leaning it out?

well on the newer safc's minus means telling the computer its getting less air and therefore gives the engine less fuel ie leaning it out, i imagine its the same new or old.

      Rb25det neo issue tps voltage

      By Gram · Posted

      hey GTSboy thanks for the quick reply. im on stock ECU  Surprisngly enough i unplug everything and replug everything, readings are still off but the car drove...ok haha So far this is what i have done. - Replaced ECU (still 1.5v) - Replaced Boost sensor (still 1.5v) Now the next thing i tried is to unplug the TPS and only plug in the Boost sensor to see if it reads 5v. No it still only read 1.5v.  Its a new boost sensor and i know i have 5v if i dont plug the sensor back in, so that means the power wire is good. So now im thinking that it might be a bad ground on the boost sensor plug.  on the FSM says the ground to the boost sensor is  a sensor ground, can i add a ground wire from the boost sensor ground wire to the the engine itself to ground it? or chassis?

      Rb25det neo issue tps voltage

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      OK, so, assuming that there is nothing wrong with either the original or new boost sensor, then it would seem that there might be something wrong in the loom wiring to that sensor. This is troublesome, because if that were true, then you might expect the problem to persist when the sensor was unplugged. But seeing as the voltage comes good when it is unplugged, it would suggest that the fault might (and I stress might) be right at the loom plug. Either that, or the fault might be at the ECU, on the line in from the boost sensor. When you unplug the boost sensor, that input at the ECU is isolated from the TPS sensor and can't affect it. This would be semi-bad, as an ECU problem is never welcome, but at least you'd know where the problem is and it might be fixable, or at least replaceable. Do you have Nistune, or any other way of looking at ECU data? I'd want to drive the car around with the boost sensor unplugged and see the TPS working properly, then not working properly with the sensor plugged back in. You're not trying to run more than ~18 psi either? Right? Because even with Nistune that can be difficult with the boost sensor connected. Just checking, in case it might have some bearing on the issue. It shouldn't cause the voltage situation you're seeing though.

      Then sell it and buy a BMW! I can totally relate to this (except the money part! ). I think for me I need to remind myself that I do enjoy the process and to stop being so damn impatient and eager to get it done. That just leads to frustration and broken stuff.  Built not bought. Wait.  Fixed, not fought? No ... Definitely fighting things. Definitely not fixed, I give up. Cars are pain.
