I'd probably weld it too if it can be done successfully....forking out $1500 or more for an aftermarket job just to gain approx 5rwkw aint worth it IMHO

only 5rwkw? i know cubes says its one of the most important upgrades for the hybrid RB30 engines

im not saying luke should do it for the 26 and if he hasent go the money for it now, of corse try welding it up... but it should be something on his list of things to do for the 30!

The difference is going from the standard RB20/25 over the top intake manifold to a front facing manifold then there would be gains to be had, but Luke's manifold is a GTR manifold and there are plenty for GTR's making up to insane amounts of power still using the factory GTR manifold.

The Greddy and hypertune manifolds will give you slight increases in the top end when you are making massive amounts of power but you will be getting this gain at the cost of low down and midrange power, and like SLED said your only talking 20-30HP gains on a 700HP engine but your are losing like 80HP below 5000rpm

Well my Maxima plans may have changed

Me likey veeeerrrrryyyy much :thumbsup:

that is nice James, definitely check it out! a lot of goodies listed too

seriously couldn't picture you in a maxima mate... haha

just bought one of the turbosmart boost tees :thumbsup:

and on another good note, the 31 goes to its new home today!

Kocking off work at 1, rush home to wash/detail my cop of a car then race down to the showgrounds and setup the SAUSA display! what an arvo.

Haha yeah think im missing the 33 like you missed yours. Got a few guys to talk to about it to get a bit more history on it, but the guy that owns it use to work at Autobarn.

I may even be taking it out of context, it was a while ago i read it and perhaps it was just about 20/25's and i read 26's into it, but without actually finding the post im pritty sure it was also including (if not specifically about) 26's and it was sugesting a particular brand and not greddy/hypertune... and coming from an rb30 guy that knows his stuff so i'd take his advice, or at least strongly consider it, if i was doing any kind of 30.

in the end, its lukes car, lukes money and lukes goals so he can do anything he likes. i was just reminding him what cubes had said

absolutely!

and hey, did i read correctly last night on FB - the little yellow weapon is finished!!!!???

just bought one of the turbosmart boost tees :)

do you mean the turbo-tech ones Damo? thought you were having issue with the t-smart one

i second the turbo-tech tees like the others here, had one on my white 33 - held 11-almost 12psi up to very high revs. The Mines ECU had set the limiter @ just over 8000rpm too :thumbsup:

yeah i mean Turbotech :thumbsup:

my current boost curve drops off a fair bit, from 10psi down to around 7 by redline. holding the boost higher through the revs with the new boost tee will obviously affect my tune wont it?

yeah i mean Turbotech :/

Just got my siemens-deka 575cc injectors from the US for my GTR.... total cost? $360 for 6... cant wait to get em fitted... cheapest injector upgrade ever

-D

I wore boardshorts to the office today.

Fingers crossed I get sent down to parliment today to fix some sort of computer issue.

The ministers will love me.

put some sick german porn on koutsantonis computer and call today tonite

'omg laik wot a sicko is this guy'

-D

    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
