ATR45. So a copy of a 3582 xr6turbo. Slightly smaller than a Garret 3582.

Internal gate. Stock manifold position

lol dam 400kw stealth, how does that even fit low mount.

Not yet Stao, the engine is still not taking timing, working through the list of culprits but Trent suspects an injector might be blocked partially. Everything else has been checked it seems.

I was a little worried it might have RB25 pistons, not RB25neo, but he tells me he ordered them from CP himself directly. Still, it seems to be the most likely cause to me, if all else fails.

The compression test came up 175 across the board which seems normal, but no.3 plug was definitely a different color, looked a little oily.

If it was just high compression the ethanol would have helped more I would have thought. Something is definitely up with it, knocking at 10 degrees isn't normal, unless you are turbocharging a KIA. :P

hahahahaha. No man. KIA's taking 15 degrees happily.

Well RB25det pistons are lower in compression to Neo pistons any way. Should have helped in knocking prevention. hopefully the engine is all good.

That's not how it works from what I have read, the neo head has a completely different combustion shape and will bump the compression sky high apparently.

The engine seems strong, and the torque graph was shooting skyward at an insane rate when I left, hopefully it's sorted soon before he burns the car. :P

Haha yeah fingers crossed just a failed injector

Pistons were a custom order through CP Pistons USA via High Octane Racing here. As no one keeps Neo pistons in stock

No it works the other way around , Neo 25Ts have a lower flatter piston crown to maintain the same 9.0:1 static CR with a smaller volume combustion chamber .

The R33 25Ts have a higher raised piston to get static 9.0:1 with a larger volume chamber .

So in theory if you put a Neo head on a 33 engine the CR is higher than a std 33 . Stick a 33 head on a Neo short block and the CR is lower than a std Neo .

Smaller chamber + flatter piston is the better std system , less chamber surface area to absorb combustion heat and 4 valve engines breathe better with flatter pistons .

If you remember high comp pistons in hemispherical (Hemi) chamber engines you know about the great chunk of piston partially obstructing flow between the valves , it has to be this way because the chamber volume is so big .

Aside from more valve area without big heavy valves part of the pent roof 4 valve chambers advantage is compact chambers so you can get CRs up without high piston crowns .

I'd be comparing the pic of that piston with pics of std 33 and Neo pistons .

A .

That's what I was led to believe, so 33 pistons in a 34 neo would raise the compression by a substantial amount I would guess...

*Goes to Google image search. :P

Can confirm - RB25/26 Pistons will result in a HIGH compression ratio on a neo.

Source: my rb29 stroker kit with compatible pistons. (they aren't)

Also good to see the results of the ATR, given I was going to try something almost identical, (or a SS4-5 compressor) and 30psi.

If my car stops exploding.

Definately a Neo Piston.

This is a Neo piston from my old stock engine

Isn't everyone over east? :P

Stao only uses one casting of .82 internal gate housing for skylines as far as I know, I have asked him for an external housing a few times but it would obviously blow the cost out, as he is tooled up to cnc the internal. I can weld a gate to the housing easily as I have a jig and know where the gate will clear. You would need to organise your own screamer/plumb back pipe locally.

I have to jig up a stock manifold for a suitable gate position still, so I can't really make one until I have an rb25 on the hoist, and a spare manifold. I was hoping to get over to Stao's to check his out, but he is the other side of the city, and we are both too busy atm. Hopefully I could sell it as a kit eventually with the gate and screamer pipe, but is there much of a demand for this setup? I would need to set up a cash back on return system for the old stock manifolds.

Welding off the housing would be best for shipping purposes obviously, and there are so many cheap options out there for housings now, like the stainless Vband Tial copies I use on my car, which make turbo/exhaust swaps so easy compared to the 6 bolt Nissan.

Why u make so hard to choose!

I may just need to go of the housing for now then if its to involved atm to get done on the Stock manifold.

I personally want it because ill be keeping Low mount on my car and dont want the bling of top mount.

Could the below be done if Gate on manifold is to hard.

If i send the turbo to Stao to upgrade to SS2 and he can send to you, you can then put Gate on housing and weld internal.

( Stao can keep internal actuator as a present? )

On a crappy tight schedule aswell because of racewars :(

But i do still have till about 30th March.

Yes Jarod, PM me about it if you like. We have done that recently and it worked quickly, other than shipping times... it isn't much work for me. He likes to check them after welding I think, just to make sure, but the last one was fine I assume Stao?

I would also need the gate, Vband preferably. Do you have a local fabricator that can do the screamer?

I'm still waiting from Stao to send me back the housing, I was hoping to fit the turbo up this long weekend and send it to the exhaust shop during the week :(

    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
