theres at least another 6wk waiting peroid for the haltech plug and plug to be released. Dont know weather i should just piggy back the standard ecu or go for another ecu all together. The tuner recommened the ems?

yes sounds feasible - but are you planning to run the neo lifters as well ? So you will have an under bucket shim and a over buck shims ( sounds like to many shims :-) ) - or are you planning to run a different lifter bucket ?

ok, it seems your right but i think i have a plan. Im gona use gtr retainers and shims as they shim from underneath, so that will imitate the tipping your talking about. then, ill have to find some springs thatll be suitable or get some made, that shuldnt be too much of a prob. wat do ya think wise one?

Im guessing Autronic SM4??? I just picked up a new AEM 30-1900U universal EMS to run my 30NEO :) . I probably wouldnt have bought it if i had to pay retail price for it (around $US2800) But i got got it cheaper. The main deciding factors for me was twin knock sensor control built in which i dont believe the E11v2 or the wolf V500 has, as well as dual wideband 02 controllers built in. the only downside is it only has 5 ignition outputs so i have to run wastespark setup on a 6 cylinder.

oh by the way spoolup, to reply to your last post, i havnt really had time to work on the head, but thats the plan: run gtr retainers, make sims for underneath, and also run the shims on top, although i think ill grind the top ones lower and have a thicker shim on the bottom

looking nice, did you just put the rb26 covers on?

What was hitting with the bonnet? I hear somepeople having issues when running the stock manifold because of the extra height, but with a greddy plenum i would of thought that would of given enough clearance??

how much chopping do you need to do?

its the front of the cam cover thats hitting the bonnet. My cfb has vents in the middle which happens to hit it so we going to cut across it and use mesh to cover the gap. Abit hard to explain but will post pics to better understand. Steve from top racing will be tuning it.

wiring up the ecu and doing final touches.

im not sure if it is just the picture but in the top pic with the cooler piping showing it looks like your bottom radiator hose clamp is broken. i might just be seeing things tho...

is top racing building this motor as well

very good observation mate. Even i didnt pick that up. I havent been back since that pic was taken but shall check and see. Yes top racing built it by steven lee. They sub contract him for rebuilds so i havnt seen or spoken to him for months. But when i get the chance will get all the specs of the engine.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
