not all are there as yet, I will be back on during the new year.

Also will load the photo's of the latest turbo mods. Surge has been totally eliminated now and am expecting 300+rwkw.

I'd love to here the final specs for your turbo, as its the next mod I need for my skyline, and it sounds much better than $2-4000 for a reconditioned HKS or Garret.

so are you removing crank and rods with the block still in the engine bay???

[Guest RedLineGTR]

nice porting

[snake]

where did ya get that twin pipe dump from?

[Rob]

Ok So I gather you have 2 skylines Boostd?

Seeing as 1 is being rebuilt and 1 was on the sat cruise?

[TIMMMAYYY]

nar only one Rob, it's been rebuilt already.

you would have blown it up at least a month ago now matt? maybe two?

[EnricoPalazzo]

2 months prolly.

[Rob]

Ahh I was gonna say .

Matt,

how'd you go with the pistons? James mentioned the quailty wasn't the greatest, which was surprising given they're OS Giken Did you end up taking the bottom end out of the car?

[BOOSTD]

Hey matt, the pistons did have to machined to clear the oil squirters.... which should have already been done. Took extra time having to be machined and re-balanced. Know that they are in all my worries have gone. There is absolutely no piston slap when cold, my catch can has almost no oil since the first start-up and now I`ve travelled 2200km's. I did a compression test and found dead even across the lot. Only slight hick up was a oil leak which turned out to be coming from the half moon seal at the rear of the valve cover.

I removed the pistons with the block still in the car. Very easy for anyone wondering.

Good to hear it turned out all OK mate. Feels good to back on the road doesn't it

How many km's are you going to do before a serious dyno run?

[BOOSTD]

have done 2500 and will have 4000 before anymore tuning which will be next week =)

[9krpm]

Boostd, can you get special price on the OS Giken pistons? Can you sus out the price for a set of 9:1 CR for the honda s2000 f20c?

Is it true that these has the lowest silicon content and less piston slapping on cold weather?

[Miss*33]

9krpm - not sure about getting special prices on other OS pistons, but Matt got the pistons from a guy we found on Ebay. He'd bought them (they were still brand new in box) and then no longer needed to use them so sold them off.

Might just pay to check out a few of the performance part websites and see what prices everyone has to offer - we did that and they do vary a fair bit

[BOOSTD]

9k, Yes the main reason I went for the OS pistons was from what I have learnt regarding piston expansion under temp. The pistons I bought were of the low silicon type (OS sell both types). I can't remember the exact number of grade. They were $2700 compared to $1800 for the lower grade. I can confirm they indeed have absolutely no piston slap when cold. As I said to Matt(whatshisname) they had to be modifed and then rebalanced to allow clearance for the oil squirters, glad I didn't pay full price.

Been down to Unique Autosports. They have seen 330rwkw with the standard injectors and an Adjustable Fuel reg. Funny how people do things totally different from state to state. In SA I was told not to bother as anything over 260rwkw is not achievable with a fuel reg. Hopefully it will be tuned for Uniques next track day =) Yip Yar
