Hi guys,

Sorry for not keeping everyone informed of build progress.

I have had to change my mind on running LPG for the moment.

I can't get liquid LPG injectors or tank for my application.... Yet.

I ditched the Automatic. It really wasn't going to be up for it. The controller alone was $1500+ then the box rebuild $$$$.

Have fitted a Z32 300zx VG30DETT 2nd hand $750 manual gearbox, with a moly flywheel $450 and button clutch. $700

Made custom handbrake adapter plate, to join HR31 to R33 cables, with adjustment.

Modified inlet manifold to twin 60mm RB20DET throttle bodies.

Tailshaft made, one piece 3in with GTR CV joint on diff end.

One dump pipe with slip joint on the external gate complete. tight fit. other under way.

A/C compressor made it back in.

Intercoolers welded together and mounted.

Trying to source a Toyota Sw20 MR2 electric power steering pump. Anyone????

Stage one fuel pump installed for std 370cc injectors and emission testing purposes. std injectors will flow to 500hp.

Stage 2 will be twin 044's and 740cc VG30DETT nismo enough for 850+ hp.

Exhaust system will have twin FG FPV euro 3 (4??)cat convertors to pass ADR test.

Engine is out at the moment as I have to get another manual box adapter made for a conversion into an S13 180sx with an NA VH45DE.

All brake lines now made by Motorsport connections, ADR approved.

DS2500 Ferodo pads fitted.

And that's about it for the moment.

I'll post pics soon.

Thanks and sorry for not keeping everyone up to date.

Mark.

Hi and sorry for no updates.

I have the Skyline running now and with an initial tune.

I will be taking it to Powercruise in Feburary 2010.

Here is a link to my website

http://www.mrcdyno.com.au/

and to a VH45 specific forum called Nico club.

http://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread/4696...ine-45psi-boost

Its only running 6 psi so far, 310 rwKw.

Still tuning it in my spare time.

Thanks,

My goodness. That car is Boner. Pure Boner.

Funny you mention the R31 is replacing an XR6T. The dyno graph looks eerily similar to a lot of the graphs you see for modded XR6T's running BPU's.

Scarily yours is running about the same boost as a stock one, and is in a car that's around 400 kilos lighter at Full interior weight.

Mad props yo.

Jesse

    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
