I'll get my mechanic mate to do most of it as he's knows more about doing it then me. Price I don't really know. Maybe ask boostworx how much they charge and we will beat it. Only thing we can't do is the tune lol

speak more about it when I see u next.

which reminds me lukey.....my turbo needs to go on soon as well....so let me know of the costs involved :)

lol, dude, diy. only reason mine took so long is im f**king lazy.
Yep, easy on a single turbo car, GTR on the other hand = PITA!

If you want Krishy, I can lend a hand

Does it need to be on a hoist??? if so then i can organise a time to borrow luke's hoist and that way there will be 3 or 4 or 5 of us trying to get it done lol.....i am very mechy challenged when it comes to things like this....will let you know when the pipes are all made luke

That should be fine if u guys wanna do that. Best if it's a Saturday arvo through to a sunday if u like.

Just let me know when.

once the pipes get made then we can sort something out

lol dude. mine was done on the floor of my garage with a 50 buck jack, and 40 bucks worth of stands.

hoist would make it marginally easier, but its not necessary.

yeah that plus i got no tools.....so makes life a whole lot easier

youd be about the only skyline owner i know without a took kit. :banana:

just need a simple socket set, couple spanners, and maybe a breaker bar.

speaking of hoists though, might make my engine mount replacement a whole lot easier...

yeah I did my turbo changeover on jack stands .... actually can make it a bit easier to get those damn fiddly banjo bolts lined up when you sit under the car and jam yourself whilst contorted into the position you need to be. But yes, I still think overall a hoist would be much easier.

Yeah and +1 to wtf on no tools .... how can you own one of these forever being modded and breaking down pos's without a huge box of tools? :banana:

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
