Marko how is the Nitto oil pump going for you? What sort of oil pressures do you see hot?

- on cold start up it is over 6bar

- warm idle it is 4bar

- normal driving it is just over 6bar

- when i push gets close to 8bar

HEAPS of pressure on hand :P great for the main & big end bearings!

i am 'thinking' of upgrading the rear housings on my -10's (i probably wont be arsed yet its good to know anyway)...anyone have experience in running .86's in a twin (or single) configuration as i would liek to determine the power gain & fitment challenges as below:

- the requirement for customised dumps

- i was advised that .86 rear housing is more suited for single applications & that it might become too laggy (i dont want lag but maybe i can get away with it on a 3ltr)

- i wasnt sure if there would be adequate room & clearance to run the larger turbos in a low mount position?

here is the website, shows .86 option but no technical specs:

You dont think they would be a little big for the street? Run E85 then if you still want more (you nutbag) then go the bigger housings?

E85 isn't a bad idea but the inconvenience will definitely do my head in.

With the larger housings I do question the possible lag and clearance issues, anyone know what they are rated at with .82s?

i fitted the new plugs & splitfires - runs like a dream & seems to hit harder all around :down:

i know its probably better for the coil packs to run without the valley cover as they probably get more air ventilation, is this more apparent on the track though as mine is a street car (and the valley cover adds bling to the engine bay :P)

yep you should run the largest gap you can without missfiring, bigger spark = better burn = more power. 1.1 is ideal but many people gap them down as low as .8 under larger boost

Hi guys,

When i 1st ran my car over the weekend with my new coil packs & new plugs bcpr7es (gap 0.8mm) it was fine at the time but i only drove it for 10min. I started the car again last night & right from the onset on idle it was carrying on, coughing, very rough & could barely reverse it on flat ground so i let it run for about 10min & the idle slowly became cleaner but as soon i revved it the engine was extremely rough.

I checked the plugs & they were black like powder charcoal – very rich!

I then put my pfr7a’s (1.1mm gap) back in & the problem was fixed, drove it for an hour with no issues 

I am trying to sum up a conclusion as to the cause...both plugs run the same temp sooo it must be the gap right?

As u suggest Duncan, the larger the gap the stronger the spark & better fuel burn? It was tuned with pfr7a’s @ 1.1mm gap.

I am guessing that if i regapged my bcpr7es @ 1.1mm they would be fine.

hi guys,

i had my gtr on the dyno for a quick health check & i asked about my exhaust (steve N1GTR prompted me on this, damn you mate im gona go broke hehe). im currently running a hks superdrager which is 3.25inch at the front, then steps to 3.5inch mid way & finished with 3.75inch at the diff.

my tuner told me if i wanted more power to increase size & run x-force front pipes (2 x 3inch pipes which collect into a 3.5inch) then with a new 4inch all the way thru to the rear.

he told me i should expect 20awkw gain or more as the larger capacity rb26/30 really doesn't like back pressure :ermm:

1 of his customers cars made more than 20awkw. where does it end haha

Thats exactly what Racepace told me when I asked them about building me a mines style front pipe with a 450awkw goal with my new engine. Bummer was that they couldnt make the pipe for me without me sending the car down to them though, seeing as all systems are custom made to fit.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
