Ohhhhh boy Zanda i could tell you a tale about horsepower and woe.. but thats till after PAS.... I'm sure paul can testify that my story about sly should have a movie about it..... after PAS though :-)

Paully,

Used to old turbin and squirted off a 316rwhp @ 12psi(without NOS). We tried 18psi for a couple of run but the graph was shitting and the coil packs begun to break down + (pinging).

So I can do a dyno run at PAS if needed though with the time need to setup car on dyno packs I doubt if you will even have time to get more than two cars on a run. 18psi figures were SWEET

:headshot:

I will see if STEVE SST will let me run on his dyno with a 2sec shot just to see some numbers but that will be after PAS as need to keep the cars we have there running and alive.

Yeah mainly Pauls:D please tell me there not using those dyno pac dynos for auto salon!! can someone confirm or deny this for me?? those wheel changes are so bloody long and frustrating... the crowd will hate it.... dyno shootouts take long enough as is gettin eveything ready as shown in motorvation.... but to also have to take off the wheels is going to show no lack of interest to the crowd when having to wait even longer!

    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
