Just Got The Car Back

Hey guys, I've just got my car back from the tuners. I thought I'd share the results...

My plan from the start has been to keep the engine bay looking as stock as possible so the coppers can't pull me up for anything.

Car makes 252.7kW on 19 psi.

Details:

- Stock Internals

- Highflow turbo by ATP with R34 Housing

- S15 480cc Injectors

- Bosch 040 Fuel pump

- 600 x 270 Stealth style intercooler. It uses the return path of the stock cooler.

- 3" exhaust

- Stock Airbox with K&N Panel Filter

- Wolf V4 ECU

- MAP Sensor (for those who don't know, Wolf uses a MAP sensor instead of the AFM)

- Factory boost solenoid

The boost is controlled by the in-built Wolf ECU boost controller which uses the factory solenoid.

I haven't got any pics of the engine bay but it looks fairly stock - just as planned :D

Unfortunately, the stock BOV was leaking and even the mod to stop this didn't work so I've had to block it off for the time being.

Cheers all :D

Thanks guys :)

I'd say EAS Performance done the Wolf tuning if I'm correct in saying that. Love their work.

Yeah, Vick at EAS Performance did the tune. The guy's a wizard when it comes to the Wolf.

Thanks guys :)

I got the turbo through Vick. He works with the ATP High-flow turbo all the time and said 19psi won't hurt it. I'm guessing the R34 housing helps. Johnnilicte, Vick highly recommends these turbos so you could give ATP a buzz and see what they have; I've heard the ATP guy isn't the nicest person to speak to so just keep that in mind :sick:

As for the motor, yes it has stock internals and I brought up the question of 19psi being ok for it. He said it's safe and even went to the effort of showing me through the tune and the slight tweaks he did to preserve the engine.

Having the car as a daily driver, I run it on low boost (8-9psi) most of the time and only chuck it on high boost when I feel like giving it a bit of a squirt. I don't go deca days and such so the car won't be 'hurting' and pushed to it's limit very often.

I've realised there's a lot of debate on how much boost to run for stock engines - some say simply, too much boost kills the engine, others say depends on how safe the tune is or a combination of both.

I was a bit paranoid at first but after Vick explained it, there's more peace of mind. I guess time will tell...

I haven't got a torque graph, but I was told the force at the wheels is about 6500N - I still haven't converted it to Nm.

Suprised its still running.

Why??

      Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
