thanks for the heads up for what to expect down the track

Fatgts-r

you absolutely right in what you say but i said it did have an aftermaket ecu but that has been removed and how the hell do you tell if the turbo has been hiflowed, metal turbine when it within the same housing .yeah i know i should got a test performed but i fell into the mistake of letting my heart take over my mind.. he is chasing up the receipt for the turbo though so eventually one way or another i will find out but it definatley goes harder than a stocky with just exhaust/pod/fmic etc. anyway i do appreciate your comments none the less and thanks...

Hey Dazza its my workshop so tell me what you want and i will give you a price.

ah ha... cool david.

I firstly would love a dyno to see what I am looking at with the present setup.

I dont plan getting an aftermarket ecu or increase the boost at all as it goes hard enough and i will be daily driving it as it is.

I do plan on getting another muffler put in as I want to be legal with noise & EPA and i plan on putting the standard airbox back in if i can (depending on fmic piping.(you may know if this is possible without cutting it up?)

So once this is done then possibly a tune..

I dont think its had a major service done so I suppoes this in lieue of the tune (above)..

I dont want an animal of a car so any advice would be appreciated and your so close its not funny...

any advice would be appreciated as well Dave....

Dazza

Hi dazza as i wrote in the email,

the only way to tune a stock ecu is a re map and if you want that can be done later.

A power run will let you know what you currently have and how it is running.

Any jap cat back with a mid mount and rear muffler will be legal and give it a nice rb note.

As for a major service that would include new water pump timing belt tensioner and idler always good while the front is off to put in a new thermostat oil plugs coolant then diff and gear box oil as well for the full works then the usual checks.

The cost start to add up in just parts for a major service.

    • Get something that can spray a bit, something like I'd use is a pressure pack for weed sprayer. I use one with degreaser. Spray it on (make sure you're fully covered up, you don't want that shit on you, especially face/eyes). Alternatively, a paint brush will help here as you can brush and work at the stuff quite aggressively.   Be aware, citric acid can eat metal away and will cause it to rust more later. So make sure you neutralise it when done, and give the fresh metal some protection. That hanger, I'd honestly bin and get something like the Frenchy's drop in replacement. The tank, again, I'd look for something else to replace it with. Remember, as metal turns to rust, it means there's less metal there now. So some patches of your fuel tank are likely to be quite thin.   Personally, Id focus on the front end of things, IE, how did the injectors get clogged if they're meant to be after a fuel filter. Then, once the front is sorted, I'd rig something up, even like a small surge tank, and make sure the engine is now running and all behaving. Then I'd replace the fuel tank and fuel hanger and pump. Also, I'd already be preparing to ditch your fuel filter...  
    • That's looking great! Are you planning to do things like all hidden wiring with it, or you're planning to have it look more like we'd expect an RB in an engine bay to look like?
    • Haha thanks everyone, I'll take everyone's suggestions into consideration. If I do eventually choose a car ill post it here update on the mods I do.
    • I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.
    • If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
