Good stuff..

What power are you hoping to make?

Interesting Idler pulley postion.. Did the belt tension up okay? I presume you have kept the stock RB30 tensioner pulley postion?

I am about halfway through my own build! ust looking at the external oil drain and oil feed issues. What did you go for regards these?

Look forward to seeing the dyno results!

Also just saw you have the 800cc SARD injectors. Where did you get them and how much? what about the connectors? I presume you need to cut the OEM fittings off and splice on new ones? Do you know if they will fit an OEM fuel rail maybe with spacers under it?? Would appreciate the info if you know.

Cheers

I picked up my injectors from www.RHDjapan.com, i think they were $960 for all 6. From what I can see they should drop straight into the OEM rail, although I went for the SARD rail as well. The SARD rail comes with some blue o ring seals that sit on top of the injector. All of the SARD injectors i have seen new, have a new plug kit with each injector. The standard RB30 tensioner positions look like they tension the belt fine.

Not sure what you are referring to with regard to the oil feed and drain, as the 26 head doesn't have the VVT feeds.

what is your power goal & who is building this engine for you?

Hopefully we should get 420 to 450 rwKw, but this will all depend on how much the clutch will handle. Its only going through two wheels, so will be fun, previously the RB25 was putting out 235rwKw.

Advan in auburn, Sydney have done all my work - would highly reccomend them.

looks like youll beat me to it buddy.

i recently jsut took off the rb25 head and slappn on a 26. still deciding if i should keep the gt3540 or swap it over for a t04z.

please keep us posted.

p.s = do u rkn the 800 cc injectors are big enough for around 450rwkw?

try mitsi lancer/evo connectors. worked well on my sard injectors

  • 4 weeks later...
keep the posts comming with the progress, im interested to know how the tune goes, im looking to get advan to tune mine with a g4 as well

Ok so i finally finished 2000Kms for the run in - boy was that an effort. The engine was limited to 4500rpm and as the IAC is a little dodgy, idled at 1500rpm.

Combine that with a bitch cold start (actually any start), and super rich running (250kms to a tank) it was hard going.

She went in on Monday for a three day tune on the G4. Most of the work was trying to get constant AFR's under load, and then boosting up and adding fuel.

Phone call today to say that there was a few problems..........

Given the amount already spent, my date started twitching!!!

Apparently stock clutch is slipping (thank god thats all), currently making 350rwKW on 10PSi. So she is being backed down to 9PSi, until i can flick a twin plate in there.

Happily should get around 20PSi on full boost, so unless anything else goes nicely on my way to 400+KW.

I'll keep you posted

Mike, are you not at all worried ?

id be getting a new tuner...3 days to tune a G4...ffs...we had our circuit car tuned with a new Vi-PEC/G4 on the weekend. Light load stuff then took 3 power runs to get a constant 11.5 AFR...all up did 6-7 power runs until the Vi-PEC logs showed a CAS error (factory Nissan). 390AWKW @ 17psi with 17 deg advance on BP98...will make 450AWKW with its eyes shut after a new CAS is fitted and we throw some more boost at it. All done from scratch in a few hours on Saturday afternoon.

We get the Vi-PEC/G4 guru's do our cars though...they know what they are doing. Id be pissed having someone flogging my car for days on end on the dyno learning with my money.

All that on top of running an engine in for that period and having it rich.

Good ECU choice though...I have a Vi-PEC V88 in my 1000hp drag car...its the sh1t...only took 8 power runs to tune it too.

yes i had my car tuned before with another 2 tuners who took 3 days each - that was a disaster...my current tuner gets it done whilst you wait

each to their own

Thats because you use one of the best tuners in Aust. Marko who knows exactly what he is doing.

If a workshop needed my car for more than 1 day and possibly the next morning to tweak the cold start id be concerned.

How does he tune the cold start and run when the engine isn't cold?

Jim at CRD never had my car overnight...he simply knows where it has to be. This is what you pay for...experienced operators are worth the money.

I could reach into the car and turn the key...and the engine would fire into life everytime when cold.

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
