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.

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
