hahah we used to go through 1500L of diesel in around 6 hours in the Tanks when I was in the army, 1500hp + 60Tonnes = Bad economy lol

that would be comparable to a commercial plane right? have to be close...

Spoke to Yavuz last night.

Steve, he mentioned you had issues with the CAS when the big power runs were being done about 6000 rpm? Did you just leave it or did you do that harmonic balancer thingo? He said its about 2K to do... Not too keen on that!

Yeah bloody hell that was annoying. It still made 400rwkw by 5000rpm though lol

The problem was the signal to the ECU. The balancer thing he's got is the way to go without a doubt though, i tried to do it the way SAS do it (who said they'd done it to hundreds of cars etc), and that was a complete waste of money and time. Hindsight is a prick, in hindsight i wouldve got the balancer Yavuz sells and been done with it.

End result? Wasted $550 on a sensor that hardly works and can rev to 8000rpm. I used to love wringing its neck higher but not anymore until i get one of those balancers from him, and I will do that one day but to be realistic its putting down enough power by 8000rpm anyway. How far did you want to rev to?

Yeah well if it comes down to it i will do it. But seriously I am so sick of spending money on this thing. Haha. I have never heard of this issue before.... either here or on the pommy forum. Could it be something to do with the 30 block and being taller then the 26 block? The extra length on the timing belt flopping around? Maybe?

I have my limiter set to 8500 just so i dont hit it and I never rev it harder then 8 on the Nismo dash. Yavuz did spin it to 9 when he tuned it 12 months ago and it was still making over 370 rwkw... which was it's peak just over 5K (i think).

take it to 9krpm stevo & paul :P

Shush you! haha. 8 is enough. I still have the junk arse N1 oil pump in mine. Its done 20,000 kms....I would hate to smash it to bits and cost me a engine!

    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
