A little birdy tells me Haltech are no longer the only ones in Sydney to have popped a VR38 :P

D'oh! they are dropping like flies! VR38.... the RB26 for the new generation...

You missed the point there champ.

A "forged motor" (ie. something with forged rods/pistons) doesn't inherrently make more power.

You don't get 1000hp from pistons and rods. You can make decent power by upgrading the support systems and pushing them to the limits on a motor that can handle it.

Somehow I think you're going to have to upgrade the turbos before you really find the limit of a stock VR38. Thus until Haltech do that, building a stronger motor is near-on pointless.

You know what i mean mate. If they are developing the car for modifications for the future, then a future logical step is turbo upgrades, and providing the extra security of a built engine to handle these power outputs isnt pointless.

'Forged' and 'built' eh, learn something new every day :) And heres me thinking that these motors already had forged cranks and rods. Plus were individually hand built in the factory.

OK, I'll lay off now :sick:

cheers to haltech for letting me and my beard in to take a look at the 35 when picking up my mate from your training course i was happy as s*&t :wave:

Um, the motor looks quite "together" in that pic >_<

angry but intriguing at the same time. one might even say 'rugged'.... mmmmmm rugged... you have that look that says, i'm hard on the outside, but soft on the inside, like a nice champagne truffle.... mmmm.

lol.

    • My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.
    • Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway  
    • Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
    • I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.    
    • Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
