quick update guys - i decided to upgrade my n1 oil pump to the nitto oil pump as it wasn't up for the task.

greg @ proengines also made a custom collar to better suit the oil pump.

i'll be taking the gtr to crd hopefully this sat for a quick health check :happy:

hi guys,

just did a road test in a back street & recorded the results on my blitz ebc (rob @ rips got me thinking on this):

3rd gear: 1bar boost @ 3800rpm

4th gear: 1bar boost @ 3500rpm

5th gear: didn't have the room but would 'guesstimate' 1bar boost @ 3200rpm

mr rob ward, your t04z setup which makes 1bar boost @ 3000rpm, what gear is this done in?

i should also note that my setup has been tuned for top end power, im sure if i asked jim @ crd to tune for mid range my revs would come down even lower @ 1bar boost...

regards,

marko

i dont think you could beat the stock extrude honed manifolds...especially if they are black coated.

Yo dirty man, do you think it's worth the extra money for a set of aftermarket low mount manifolds- compared to a set of honed and ported N1 manifolds?

I'd like to keep the N1's (I have them all done allready) but if there are reasonable gains to be had I'll ditch them... I don't want the ex-mani's to be the restriction.

I know you were running aftermarket manifolds with the GT-RS's.

2.8, head, cams, greddy plenum and 50mm tb's, GT-RS's....

Cheers

There needs to be a 2.8 section...

i think i can answer on pauls behalf as ive had this coversation with him in the past...stock manifolds are much more reliable & just as good if not better than aftermarket items.

mark with his hi octane gtr was using tomei manifolds then went back to stock ones which were matched & honed for better response, as per his interview on ignition dvd

Thanks marko.

Yeah, I'm really trying to stick with cast manifolds. I'd hate to have to change manifolds after a few thousand km's because one cracked... unfun job.

I've run 400rwkw with stock-stock manifolds in the past... un ported, honed or coated.

I seem to ask Paulie alot of qn's because he's run good numbers with GT-RS's... I'll be running GT-RS's on the new stroker motor.

Anywho... thanks for the reply.

Cheers

hi guys,

i have ordered a new set of splitfire coilpacks as my factory coilpacks started to misfire. tell tale sign was that 1 of plugs was very dark (thanks for the guidancec paul).

whilst im doing this i looked at my plugs...i am currently running ngk pfr7a (1.1 gap) & have done 1000km with them. should i just clean them (with petrol & toothbrush) or should i replace them as they did clean up well.

my tuner recommended i go with pfr7b platinum if i update them - the problem is that nobody in sydney stocks 7b's let alone 7a's! this is head fark & a 1/2 :D why is it sooo hard to buy a set of plugs???

bcpr7es marko...made better spark and more power with these puppies than any platinum plug you care to name. I run coppers in the race car too...but not 7's.

invest in other mods such as alcohol

Baah... Alcohol is for drinking

Gasoline is for washing parts and

Nitro is for racing!!! ha ha ha

Yeah, I was thinking about methanol a while ago, but it really dosn't go with my street car build. Also E85 isn't available in Tas, so I stuck with the ID1000's instead of the ID2000's...

Oki doki paul. Better spending $20 on a set rather than $150, its a win win solution

    • 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.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
