thats the cooper washers. I normally run 2mm fat washers then the factory 1mm thin washers. Which don't usually leak. Or you can apply very very very thin layer of silicon glue (last option) on both side of the washers, that also stops leaking.

Yeh I was a bit wary of using gasket glue on any turbo parts. So I suppose the only thing to do is to pull it all apart and make sure it is all good :(

RE: AT higher than IT

Yeah what's up with that?

Hey Rolls.

Its due to the dyno room setup. I've seen plenty, I have a couple of my own that are the same. Either way its not an issue in this instance.

As you can probably suspect the air entering the pod was cooler than where the ambient temp reading was taken. Of which is quite possible especially with the fan blaring and the bonnet open.

As the IT increases the DD applies correction to inflate the power reading. IT is low so not an issue.

If IT was 40 odd degree's.. I'd then be calling bogus.

As for 370'ss making around mid 200's - It's well known 1jz's can make mid 200's on their stock 380cc injectors.

Providing the bolt-ons are working together well your going to be able to push ignition timing in to it to make that magical 250-260rwkw on stock injectors.

Have a turbo that's pushing hot air in to the motor and not allowing it to breath, its not going to take the timing and on the same injectors, same duty cycle, same AFR its going to be down on power.

Hope that makes sense.

220 at most safely though, 260 plain impossible.

Some update:

Have had the engine pulled apart last weekend to find out of what appears like my mechanic didn't secure the gadget pin's retainer probably during the first rebuild, the pin slide out rubbing the block.

Leaving a very damaged bore.

Ethics its a funny thing, this is a licensed mechanic that I've used for the past 4 years, forwarded many jobs to and pretty close mate with. After diagnoses eliminating faults from hydraulic lifters, I was under the impression that I've got a broken piston from earlier air flow meter incident, so I naturally forward him with this job, how ever he stopped responding to my phone calls ever since.

Any way it’s not looking bad for the up coming engine. Getting it done at a proper engine building workshop. Every thing will still be build back into standard specifications for further Rb25det turbocharger evaluation purpose.

Oh bugger that is a slight oversight..... any answer from your mechanic mate?

Hey stao, any sign on the piston crowns of the massive leanout and subsequent det fest when the afm lead came off @ 6800 and 25psi? nuke.gif

It was the most evil noise i have ever heard emanate from my headphones (even for the maybe 1 sec it did it for)... did you find out who modified the plug so it could fall out?

220 at most safely though, 260 plain impossible.

Safely being the key word.

Mid 200's isn't technically impossible - approx 5cc per hp, 74ish hp per pot, that's around 450hp at the fly. 450hp is around 250-260rwkw

Sure 100% duty isn't considered safe - going for it is its a streeter. 1jz's can do it, I don't see why the old RB can't.

Either way this car is making around the mid 200's. Foolboost has had a few Skylines up around and making more power. He'd know if it was down in power.

Props Hypergear for putting some great R&D in to a turbo that clearly works well.

That is it from me. Apologies Hypergear.

hahaha they are actually all alright. Noting was abnormal with any of the pistons or con-rods. The one with the pin slided out has 2x tinny hair cracks undernees from the pin movement, and that was about it. I replaced 1x pistons and all rings, with conrods and crank machined and checked. So it was all good. Should have it back on road in about 2 weeks if every thing goes smoothly. Be comming back for more tunning. :thumbsup:

I guess it is possible there is an adjustable fuel reg.

I am confused, the ambient temp is whatever is in the room, I can't see how the IT can be lower than this, a fan blowing would at best make the air the same temperature as that in the room, though it is far more likely it will be higher due to the heat soak around the radiator, pipes, turbo etc causing the IT to be higher even with a fan blowing.

What am I missing?

generally early 1jz wont do it unless its had 2jz injectors as the run out 220-230 same as rb25's, the jzx 100's are the same power-wise.

I have had some so called 240-250 rwkw cars (jzx100 and soarers) come in from zxy here in vic and both cars made 220ish not 250. I'm not saying you cant make one super hairy pass and make the power but sustained running will end in tears.

Rolls.

The fan in the instance where I observed the lower IT was located outside of the room. Not the best setup for 100% accuracy but in practice it makes SFA difference to the power readout.

Would that be the Self proclaimed EMU/toyota guru...the one who sticks bags of ice on intercoolers while tuning "to replicate driving around on the street"

agreed it is possible to get a lower it if you run it near the pod as the wind chill cools the sensor tip. should not inflate power at all.

Thats no way to talk about the only tuner thats managed to tune an m35. :rolleyes:

A CO2 extinguisher works just as well apparently. :)

Ah yep makes sense, yeah I wasn't thinking it would inflate power figures, just thought it was strange. :)

few doing flash on them apparently now scotty, im not one of them though :P

not sure what system they are using... but ive been told there is a few now... that do all vq's

Its all talk till I see the graphs. :P

I havent heard of anything other than shipping the ecu over to Japan for a guess-flash. I was hoping there would be a better option by now, considering im about to push for 350+

Oh bugger that is a slight oversight..... any answer from your mechanic mate?

I really wish he did. unfortunately he did not get back to me ever since. He also stuffed my 300ZX during a turbo change last year for the ATR25 development that coasted me $6G to get it back to working order, he tried to make up for it back then. How ever he did do few good less complex jobs as most people I referred him on turbo changes are satisfied with his work.

I believe there are two types of business/trades people:

1. People whom are using his/her skills doing their best to benefit the broad society.

2. People whom are using his/her skills doing what they could to benefit him/her self.

As the manager I feel I must have the knowledge and responsibility to ensure our customers receive the full benefit of our produces, be responsible and supportive to customer's needs regardless if the deal resulted in profit or lose. Same rule applies to my engineering team, and my tuners. Every job must be done properly to suit its purposes.

people whom are irresponsibility for their work / products cares only for their own benefits are not the type of people that we want to deal or work with.

Its all talk till I see the graphs. :P

Graph is on the dynosheet section:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/55845-rb25-turbo-upgrade-all-dyno-results/page__view__findpost__p__5847954

I believe Toshi have done great jobs and well proven by his results. Personally I would still prefer to get my tune done on a dyno by an experienced tuner. I have meet a ford engineer, been told that all XR6 / 8 ECUs are individually adjusted to suit specific engines as data sent from individual sensors varies.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
