Hi guys,

Quick Q, Just sold the skyline, and thinkin of buyin a NSW RX7 FD and registering in VIC, and its got a few mods as above,

Cat back exhaust, a CF intake pipe thingo, aftermarket SMIC, and power fc.

Do/should i need to take these all off before getting RWC? hopefully i'll be getting the stock parts but unsure atm..

i guess taking off the hand controller should be enough for the PFC.. but all the other bits?

i guess it depends on the place, but do most RWC places ping u for mods?

SMIC is fine as long as it doesn't have a pod filter as well. One induction mod, however, you'd be hard pressed to find a mechanic that knows enough to not pass it.

Power FC, should be able to go under the radar also.

As for the induction pipe, you'd have to have a pretty cluey mechanic to pick you up on it.

Exhaust should be fine as long it's not stupidly loud.

All the best.

^^ pretty much on the money.

Some do actually check for ECU, but most run of the mill RWC places simply will not be up with every model and so on so they don't go searching for it so ensure its behind the kick panel and you'll be perfectly ok in that way.

But ye, a super loud exhaust maybe, sometimes they will pick bonnets and so on which again is fair enough given their size/obviousness

So anyone know of a good shop you've had good experience with for RWC around the abbotsford area?

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
