Hey Scott,

Just had a good read through the whole thread. Your car has definitely come a long way! Good to see you have kept to your original goal the whole time, and are constantly striving to reach it.

Unfortunate that you had some hurdles to jump, but such is being a car enthusiast :D

On a lighter note...

Every time I see that front bar, I blow in my pants.

Awesome job mate! Subbed for updates! :woot:

Thanks Ty,

Im glad people are still getting a good read of this. I enjoy going back every now and then and seeing where its come from. Hard to think this was just a stocker from Japan and my very first car!

I'm glad your enjoying the front bar combo I've put together. Everything sort of just fell into place when I was bored at work one day googling away. Original plan was to keep it all white then iI test fitted it with the black lip and just loved it. Then the R33 sedan lights just top if off.

Credit where it's due my man.

Agreed, the black is fantastic. Goes well with the black drag wing. Those sedan lights look spectacular.. give it a true 'custom, but stock' look.

Still enjoying the 6466?

I may have missed it, but what tyres were you running in the latest vids? She seems to dig deep without much spin at all.

Yeah mate still loving the overall combo I've got going on. Big disappointed with the overall power figure at this stage, but there is a few parts letting it down at the moment so it's alright.

In regards to tyres, I'm currently using Nitto 555's in 275/40/17 with about 12-15psi in them. They aren't the best in truth, I really have to feather it out of second gear otherwise they just bake. Saving for some MT streets

Your engine bay is starting to look like Mat's! Sort that out, get some colour in there! All this matte black is making me depressed :laugh:

Seriously though mate, I love this thing. A 6466 is the turbo I would go for if I was to build my motor and go high mount, so I like the setup.

I'm not going to lie I 100% stole Mat's engine bay look. It's not cheating if your in different states right? Mine will never be as well blacked out as his. I think you either go one way or the other.

I really can't fault the 6466 yet. The main reason I went with it was all the good result people on sau were getting as I first leaned towards the 6262. About a week of thread trawling sorted that out

what power figures were you expecting?

i thought it was decent power

i make touch over 400kw atw on a 6266 with a rb26/30, stock bottom end just poncams

I was aiming for high 600's, horsepower wise. But its a process i guess. There must be certain elements restricting the setup and its just a matter of tinkering and finding the best combo.

What boost are you running through your 6266?

yea fair enough

it made it on 16/17psi lol

the turbo is barely being used!

Tell me about it. Mine is hardly working at 25psi..

Imagine putting another 7psi into yours. I bet you'll net a better return than my 438rwkw or very close to it.

My initial tune made 381kw at 18psi. So yours is already ahead of that and ive got the larger turbo

I think that shows there is something in the setup letting it down

well i made 400 with a china bar and plate at 20psi

then put a shitty old corroded missing fins trust drag cooler on and it made the same power but on 16psi as well as coming on earlier

im not sure if it made full boost any earlier but it sounds like it spools much faster

for a slapper motor it does well!

on the power now it is touch over 90% duty cycle on 1000cc hks injectors which is a bit weird coz ive seen guys make more or with the same injectors

in any case im going 2000cc and putting it back to 20psi and what ever it makes is what ever it makes lol

Im currently running 1000cc injectors as well. First when 2000cc but tuner said they were too tall and made the fuel rail foul on the plazmaman plenum which sits stupidly high on stock runners with a 3L block

Scott, have you thought about sourcing a RB26 head? I figure it'll suck a little bit to lose the VCT, but with properly dialled in cam gears + the better flowing head.. the net result will probably make you smile...

You could probably run big injectors with ease too :D

Just had a read on the MT Street Radial II's ... they look tasty... :woot:

Also watched a video on MT Street's (to suit 15 inch rim) and how they actually wrinkle quite well for a street legal tyre.. amazing stuff

I have thought about the 26 head. my 25 head has had a fair bit of work done to it and i do like that I've still got VCT. I think a 26 head will definitely be something for the future.

MT Streets are definitely the next tyre choice for me. Just some research to be done in regards to the best dimensions to run etc.

Nytsky Dave's car makes 550rwkws with hydraulic lifters, baby cams and a minute amount of work done to the ports.

Something to think about

Also, your R33 is awesome!

Cheers mate! always love getting feedback on the car even if its negative.

Dave's car is awesome.

Seems this build thread has had a revival in the last week or so

there is next to no difference in head flow figures between the 25 and 26 heads

Hmm, fair enough.

I was always under the impression that the 26 head was able to flow more CFM than the 25 (neo or otherwise) head.

Yeah, Dave's car is awesome. Kind of the Usain Bolt of the 25 head world, if you know what I mean. Hydraulic lifters can definitely be used to make big power.. there is no doubting that. Proof is in the pudding.

But from what I understood, it was the maintaining/reliability that became the next issue? From doing a little bit of reading, it seems like the 26 head is still favoured due to port/runner/turn design and the shim/bucket setup... even though the neo head has solid lifters, apparently the shim/bucket setup is not as favourable as the 26 head.

Any thoughts?

    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head. (me)
    • Ha ha ha, so they stopped the bearings spinning on the one you want, but then decided the crank hub should slip instead 😛   Stick to RB, at least you can work on it yourself. And now it doesn't smell of vapour   Also I still believe there's a chance your new flap doesn't "pop", as even though the engine might breath hard, it has a direct path with no restriction to the inlet, which when on boost should pull a bit of suction for you. If you do get pressure in the catch can id be very intrigued. Time to put a boost gauge on it, and a session at the track, then solid cover your vent and do another session
    • Oh nah, S55 doesn't eat bearings, just the crank hub slips lol.
    • When’s the tow ball on the 33 coming? 🙃
    • I welcome any basic question that can help haha. Yes it has 2 unis but the driveshaft is a one piece and the unis are welded without a slip yoke at each end.   What's funny is anytime I've ever had wheel vibrations it's always been in the front so I automatically assume it will lead to steering wheel shake and not chassis vibration. With that being said, I never considered looking at my rear wheel balance... I have doubts though as this wasn't an issue before I pulled the motor and trans but is still very much worth a look. I'll do that tonight after work. Thanks.
