i also need some guages, any ideas?

is there anything that i need thats not there apart from a turbo? i want my car to be a nice counding fast N/A line :)

thanks for any help you can give. :) byes :burnout:

hey Everyone, i have good news too... i got my cat-back muffler today! YAY! :D

its a Autotecnica one, i hope i dident buy a crap one! it was $199

im going to get 2 and a 1/2 inch piping... does anyone know how much it will cost for 2.5" piping + install on that and the muffler?

also is there a good place on the GC to get it done?

one other question... im thinking about purchusing something from nengun... do his prices where it says (inc shipping) cover import tax on products? if not, how much is import tax?

thanks for any help, bye all :burnout:

PS: Good stuff greg... enjoy :uh-huh::D:alcoholic:D

for my sister's bf to get 2.25" piping from the cat back, new muffler and a hotdog style resonator it cost him a bit over $400. That was using dodgy mild steel though....

Make sure you get some sort of resonator otherwise it will drone like one of those dodgy lancers you see going around.

let us know how u go :D

I got my cat back stainless steel 2.25" zorst put in in syd, mandrel bent n all, hi flow cat, black box (or sumthing like that) resonator, magnaflow muffler (the oval one with a 3" end) fitted for $900 in syd at Tuffy Mufflers. And yeah you can definitely feel a bigger punch now.

The reason I got it was my old 2.25" mild steel system had ROTTED on the inside and chunks had gone thru the the muffler and up to the cat, resulting in a destroyed muffler and a hollow cat lol.

It def pulls much better now, and seems to be a bit more torquey at lower revs, dunno bout higher revs tho.

I've kept the 2.25" extractors, coz there was nuffin worng with them and they didn't suffer from rot because they were stainless steel. mmm Fujitsubo extractors!

Hmmmmm this thread is a bit dead!

Ok i have a question 4 every1

How do u ppl go wen draging other cars? do u win or lose?

(not that any1 illeagally street races or anything but lets pretend)

Being n/a and all id expect it be hard 2 win how bout against commonwhores?

thanx:D

have you guys ever thought about turboing your non-turbo motors.... it really is cheap and majorly efficient... all you need is the factory turbo... oil lines/water lines(to the turbo) manifold and intercooler... and turbo computer and injectors....

my mate had a non-turbo r32 that he got CHEAP... and then he bought an blown up turbo motor for two hundred dollars... it was a complete motor that had internal damage.... he swapped all the turbo bits onto the non-turbo and it runs like a champ...

it has all the factory oil feeds and water feeds already in the block... just pull the bungs out and put the lines in place... and this skyline has been at dorift events in brisbane, drag raced and just generally abused without a single hiccup.... we just keep in with standard boost and it runs all day with no pinging or anything...

after the success of that build we Na to turboed my silvia... and it is a little rocket... it owes me about $700 for the conversion but is no where near as simple as the RB to turbo conversions..... you have to make custom oil lines and water lines... and is generally a little bit of a headache... although after doing one I could do another one in a day...

just if you have a Non turbo Skyline... and just want boost... not a monster... just a standard turbo'd skyline consider this an option it really works... we have the cars to prove it....

just go to the wastelands, to squizzmobiles III and ask any of those guys... there are some cool toys cruising around Centeral Queensland and most of them aren't as convensional as down south... we don't have access to loads of performance shops and if we do they are to dear... so we build our own toys....

sometimes you just have to think outside the box... and don't let anyone tell you it isn't possible.....

ps the fun part is when everyone checks out your NA silvia Q and then get annilated at the lights...

due to extra compression in the motor... with standard boost the NA converted turbo motor is a touch quicker than genuine turbo motor...

in our hot dry land.... we had too skylines on the dyno....

one converted and one standard....

the standard 32 RB20DET made 162 Hp at the wheels...

the conversion RB20DE+ made 185 Hp at the wheels...

same day same fuel and both useing standard parts....

interesting eh??

hey digsy_20, mate i would love to do a turbo conversion and just run standard boost. only problems is that it costs too much. plus i don't know how to do any of that myself so it would cost a fair bit for labour. i'm thinking it would cost like $2,500 all up parts and labour. it'll be easier for me to sell and buy a T.

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
