i have an HKS 1 bar actuator (came with the turbo)

so the ebc (blitz DSBC spec s) is holding 4psi above that with a 6psi spike

exhaust wise i have a 3" straight through with decat and pathetic muffler that does basically nothing

what boost are you seeing and when?

That's OK, it's your choice after all. You are fully entilted to choose to look uber cool rather than go fast. :)

Heck, take the springs and shocks out all together, whack a bit of 4 x 2 in there instead, you can get it even lower then, no need for suspension travel :bunny:

Just don't brag about how powerfull your car is because it wheelspins all over the place, when the truth is it has no traction because looks are more important to you than going fast. :)

BTW, why have bothered building a big power engine when you can't use it? :)

Hey, it's a free country, other than the taxes, the police, the inspection nazis in SA, speed cameras, toll roads..............maybe it's not all that free when you think about it. :bunny:

Cheers

lol... traction is not a problem until > 300 so i recon its doing pretty well :P

truth be told i recon its not gonna be a problem with better rubber... atm the car has 235 federal 595ss cheapies on it, so i'm not that concerned... i'll see how i go with adrenalins @ the next tyre change and go from there.... atm i can stand on it in 2nd no worries on pulp, which is my daily fuel.

the suspension in my ke70 would really make you cringe :( but hey, you gotta look good man..... NS.com told me so :P

my standrard actuator that came with the hks 2835 pro wont hold more then .7bar without going nuts....so not too sure there...also having an issue with my hks evc 4....going to go sort that out tomorrow as it wasnt responding to learning mode.

i will see how we go by tomorrow if i make it to the tuners before end of day.

try running without the evc... they are not the easiest things to get setup... although usually its a >20psi issue...

you should be able to see 1 bar nicely.... also try running it with your exhaust dropped and see if that eliminates the prob :huh:

My car is slow by today's stds, sonds fast ad looks gay as its too high. If i deck it down to 325mm it will sound fast, look fast, and still be slow...so i have kind of made progress:)

Be interesting when my car finally sees the road again how much good the E85 does on it with the new manifolds and bogger exhaust housing.

yeh we fixed the boost controller issue...but now there is another issues...its holding boost just fine til about 250rwkw and then boot drops....so there either must be a restriction and or a very fair sized air leak.

going to asses it tomorrow.

any hints?

Where are you measuring the boost? I always have at least 2 places for measuring boost, one at the compressor outlet and one past the throttle body/ies. That way I can tell if there is any boost drop due to restriction in the inlet ie; the pressure at the compressor outlet exceeeds the pressure at the engine by more than a couple of psi. If they are both the same (the boost drops the same) then there is either an air leak or the turbo has run out of airflow.

NYTSKY,

Is it your boost controller perhaps....the boost curve seems lazy when it comes onto boost as well....only making peak boost at 4900 rpm and immediately starts declining.

ke70! Hamish please throw some pics and specs up... I'm seriously considering one as a bit of a track hack/project

so far the car is running on corona struts with commo springs, xt130 lca's, lock spacers, 15x8 -9 ajps challengers, and flared guards

the car has a flat front conversion, and is getting a spraycan satin black job soon

motor is currnetly a 4ac in an AE71 crossmember, AE71 radiator & thermofan, and webber carby

gearbox is a t50 and the diff is an AE71 item welded shut.

new motor going in is a 4agte (ze block with custom turbo and cooler setup) with toda cams/gears should see around 150-160rwkw and car is getting stripped and caged

car will also be getting swaybars and possibly coiliver conversion....

ecu will be mocrotech... probably

will get pics up at some stage soon

      Rusty roof repair

      Some of the filler.   Also if I look under the top flap of metal it starts looking good quite close to the edge. I get the feeling it doesn't go much further.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I finally started digging at the bit of my roof that was cracking and bulging a bit. Well, it was just thick filler that was covering some pretty bad rust. I didn't find the edges, I was too bummed to keep going.  There are a few holes as you can see. There was just so much filler but looks like no attempt under the filler to prime or use rust converter, just slapped filler on exposed rust.  Anyway, I'm going to take the windshield out and find the edges. I'd love to fix this myself as I'm pretty sure it'll be expensive to get done properly. I was thinking I could just get a cut piece from another E39 and just weld it in place as it would be the right size and shape.  Thoughts?

      r34 Skyline 25 Gt four GTR conversion (ENR34)

      This is the territory of the "Stage 1/2/3 Golf GTI/R" or otherwise off the shelf tune with (relative to before) minor mods. It's easier now. Downpipe and Tune and boom, big increases. Stage 1 OEM+ is where it's at. This is where the niche evolved into and it's really easy to see why. It's rare to even NEED to consider changing turbos or going to aftermarket ECU's or building bottom ends for more power. Stage 1-2-3 will get you a LONG WAY. Civic Type R turbo GR Yaris/Corolla Anything with B58 (MKV Supra/x40i) Anything BMW in General Anything Audi in General Any turbo AMG RenaultSport Turbo offerings Korean Elantra N/I30N Ecoboost Mustangs Focus RS? List goes on. I would argue in the future it won't even need to go on... M3P is pretty rapid out of the box...

      There is a way, but it's not with the same cars. You need to find the same vintage of car, that we had. Realistically, that was an affordable car with aftermarket parts around. So what people need to find is a car that had a decent base in its day, and can be modified. They're looking for a car year make of 2010 to 2015 really... Aus could have done it if Holden didn't fold as V8 commodores were cheap, and if Ford didn't get expensive thanks to COVID, then you could cheaply play with FG Barras. Realistically, those are just a bit heavier, four door skylines. I'm sure the US and UK have similar cars they could find.
