I dropped my R34 GTR off at Red R Racing yesterday morning for some bolt on upgrades at the hands of DirtGarage (Paul) and co.

Ive had a few people show interest in my planned upgrades so I decided to start up a thread for those interested. Thread will include plenty of pics and final results with a full mod list at the end to accompany dyno results.

A few of the parts going in, more to arrive - see below

More parts are expected to arrive over the next couple of days including Cam Gears, Vipec ECU, Tech Edge Wideband AFR controller, injectors, oil catch can and a few other bits. Will post up pics when they arrive/go onto the car.

Cheers

320AWKW but we will see how it goes. Dont want anything too crazy, bottom end is stock.

As for response loss on RPM, time will tell. Hopefully not much though, will post full results so will be able to compare to my stock turbos.

maybe i am wrong but aren't your chosen turbos HKS 2530s equivalent, but GT-SS which have less lag make 320 awkw easily..

in fact there are a second hand pair in classifieds that made exactly that?

Bakes, Matt was having trouble keeping his mind on the job...every now and then he would stand back and admire your car. He's been around plenty of tough GTR's and to see him drooling over your car was a laugh.

Have been over and over GTSS vs -5. Not going over it again. I did my research, I wanted -5s, I bought them. Please keep turbo selection out of my thread.

haha, Good stuff :down:

I am excited to see the results of this, great stuff.

Quick question, with regard to the wideband, why did you not go with the Innovate Motorsports WB which is reccommended to be used with the Vipec ECU's? Geniune question, I am not just being a d**k.

Mike

PS: in comparing dyno runs details of AFR and ignition advance would be good to get more of a direct comparison.

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
