yer i found a leak...

The bracket for the heat sheild makes the contact between the dump and turbo realy uneaven...

I have exhaust wrap over the dump. My question is can i go without the heatsheild? does it realy block that much heat? I can just mount the wires up a bit higher near the abs, will they melt or anything?

2. Is the wire/connection that goes in the top of the dump my knock sensor?

do you know a way of mounting the heat shield without using the bracket that goes between the dump and turbo... Cuz it doesnt do up any tighter and there is still a gap cuz its uneven.. I just put it togethor then without the shield and i was just going to put exhaust wrap over the connection and wires that come from the top of the dump... But if it makes a big difference i would like to put the shield back on....I dont know how to mount it tho.... + i polished it last night :D

If I read you correctly, you've stuck the heat shield bracket BETWEEN the turbo and the dump. Right?

It goes OUTSIDE the flange ie dump mounts up to turbo, and bracket sits on dump, then put bolts thru bracket and dump into turbo.

The wire / connection is the O2 sensor.

2. Is the wire/connection that goes in the top of the dump my knock sensor?

Nope. The knock sensors are on the inlet side of the block underneath the inlet manifold.

The sensor in the top of your dump pipe is the O2 sensor...

Can't help with the mounting sorry :D

GAWD IM A DUM SH1T!

haha.. i cant beleive i didnt do that..

thanks mate

in the attached image.. the green ones are the bolts that i have done up tight.. the 2 red ones i cant do up cuz there is no room to tighten them cus the spanner or whatever else i use hits the dump and cant be turned... how could i tighten these up? I cant feel any air or hear any leak from it...

ok image didnt upload... I have the four outside ones done.. The other 2 are impossible to get to.

I havent realy tested it out yet.. i have only gone to .4bar.. Should i turn boost down or anything like that first... i only have a bleed running .8 atm... this was before the pipe/cat was put on... Should i be listing to anything while i am testing it?

thanks

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
