Bit of a novus question, but could the stock bov contribute to boost bleeding at higher rpm on the ss1pu's or are they usually good for 300kw+ ?

Yes it's possible, Stao believes the standard BOV bleeds off boost, though from memory boost tapered off with his setup too.

The BOV does have a 4mm hole bleeding air, for a smooth throttle roll off. You can tap an m5 thread in the hole and loctite a grub screw there to try it I guess.

near identical to my old setup - OP6 rear housing highflow, return flow cooler, stock airbox, 256rwkw on 98, 17-18 psi i think ,that tapered off a couple psi

Birds i think you'll need to look at something more than just the spring in your intake pipe. I did the rev210 mod with my intake pipe and one day i found it crumpled and collapsed. My guess was all the extra heat from having a hotter running HF turbo killed it, but i'm not sure. Chasers made me a full metal intake pipe and if i was doing it again, that's the only way i would go. Sure everything was fine to start, but it didn't turn out great in the end.

Just get Scotty to knock you one up, done quite a few HG intakes by this stage i reckon :)

Cmon, you should know the answer to this John..

The problem with running stock housings is they superheat the air, the more air you try to shove though them the hotter it gets the hotter it gets the less power it makes..

You could pump more into it but it wouldnt be safe and wouldnt give a realistic figure of how much power it is actually making..hence the need for e85 to help keep it cool...Which should work well...ish..

Either way its a pretty good figure though for what it is and the boost it is running,

I bet it feels pretty damn nice to drive as is too, but I think if you keep on the gas to long it will heat up quickly and then it becomes inefficient..

I know mine used to...If hes only gunna do quick sprints here n there it shouldnt matter too much though

I was wondering about a single run for comparisons sake.

Making an assumption (it's going to get hot, blah) is all well and good, in the real-world is the test.

Well as I said earlier, if it comes to that I'll get something made up, but there's no point yet if the spring is doing it's job for now. Come the time (i.e. E-flex tune with more poundage), I will most likely get Scotty onto it :)

Was your old turbo an HG?

Its more than an assumption mate..but don't worry I am 100% certain he can give me a run for my money if that's what your getting at ;)

lol how about you sort out your clutch and I sort out my tyres first...I lose traction in 3rd which is, somewhat disheartening. I'm a bit worried now actually, without 20psi my midrange may not be strong enough to pull ahead of you early on. Guess we'll find out!

Curiously guys, regarding the extra power/torque that the R34 RB25DET NEO produces in factory form over the RB25DET found in the R33 (I can't remember what the upgrade was - VVT?)...does this power difference net any advantage when it comes to this stage of modifying? I.e. should we expect the NEO engine to (hypothetically) make more power with the same modificatons (turbo, injectors, ECU, tuner, dyno etc.) as a non-NEO RB25DET?

Pfft..excuses already, how,about we just race.

wheel size rims & tyres do you run birds?

i think u need to upgrade to 18x12" wide with 325/30/18 rears :thumbsup:

265/35/18 on the rear...granted I do have them at 40psi, so there's probably traction to be had in lowering the pressures a bit. They are only KU31 so nothing special in the grip department. Thinking of swapping them for Nitto NT05s, as Ric (HEKT1K) is running them in 235/40/18 form @ 280rwkw with no loss of traction in 2nd. If I could fit 325s I would lol.

Pfft..excuses already, how,about we just race.

No excuses, just altering my predictions of the outcome. But there's no point running up against you if I can't even put 1 bar on the dial and maintain forward movement :dry:

I also want to see what your car is capable of without a slipping clutch, so get your shit sorted!

lol, my car puts down 1 bar just fine mate..

Good for you, mine doesn't! Read my post again :)

Can I get in on this race :)

If you wanna drive down from Canberra...we can make it a three way :3some:

Wow, I finally found use for that emoticon?

All 25's have VCT. The main differences between the Neo and the standard 25's had nothing to do with power. The differences that do affect power really make no difference at all once you get to this stage.

Where are you guys located

Whyyounotcomehere

Melbourne. 2 vs 1...you come here.

:/. I know you edited that

I edited my post, but not the part about me struggling to put 1 bar to the ground!

Good to hear your result Birds. I still need to post my updated dyno result.

Its funny how before there weren't results for the ss1pu, I posted mine and everyone is acting like there is something majorly wrong with the car when it initially made 242kw..

Meanwhile now we have:

Birds 252kw

Kasko 250kw

Myself 251kw

And that now appears to be accepted as normal. Gotta love forum e-mechanics :)

On another note, I took my car to Wakefield park on Sunday...I think I may have had a bad batch of fuel since it was pinging on the freeway during the drive down however I put in a new batch of fuel then 'tested'' it after which it didnt ping at all so decided to take it to the track. Only did 4 sessions and was taking it easy since I didnt want to risk the car but the turbo is pretty nice on the track. Good power to use out of corners, more top end would be nice but whereas the car felt super underpowered on the track with the stock turbo, it now feels... i wouldnt say fast, but normal.

The turbo is torquey enough to lay long black lines out of corners in 3rd gear if you wish, nice to see them getting longer and longer in the rear view :)

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
