that's not why I questioned it lol, look at the power he made. 295kw. Given that he also said water injection = free 30kw, a 3071R would make 265rwkw on 18psi without hassle. Not 28psi lol.

But the water does have a negative effect before it has a positive one, unless you are tuning really aggressively with full time WI.

If you were to be injecting JUST water and not be touching the tune, just be upping the boost... You would need to crank in a fair bit of boost.

Seems OK to me.

I running an FJ20det which I swapped from my old DR30 skyline into my 1600. The previous turbo setup used a Fantasy split pulse single waste gate manifold and a twin scroll GT3071r and made 265rwkw on 22psi.

Perhaps that is why?

No typo. My engine was build with quite low compression, 7.9:1 I think. Because of its low volumectric efficiency, it needs more boost to make the power. Plus running standard cams as well don't help the cause.

That said, the power being made with the 30171r is still quite respectable. I have witnessed an sr20 running a 3076 @ 22 psi making 260rwkw. This was on the Unigroup engineering dyno which is where I get my car tuned.

Water injection will have a negative affect on your engine performance if it isn't metered, atomised and tuned correctly. Get it right, which isn't hard, and there are significant power gains to be had.

Mitcho_7, you are correct that the old manifold could have been hampering the power. On closer inspection it had a very poor collector design, runners which differed significantly in length and a single waste gate configuration. The replacement manifold which I designed and built has a far superior collector, runners which are almost equal in length and twin waste gates. It has also been power ported with each runner flowing between 204 and 210 CFM.

After testing of the 3071r and 5558 are done, I will be upgrading to a 6262 twin scroll. I have already purchased this turbo and have begun building the manifold to suit. With a few supporting mods such a 2000cc ID injectors, cams and a RB25det gear box, I'm hoping to crack the 400rwkw barrier.

Here are a few pics of my 6262 vs my mates 5558:

Still going strong. We retuned Kurtis's

The other day to see if we could push any harder and got to 372kw 24psi dropping to 21psi. And wound low boost up to 17psi making 330kw instead of 14psi low.

His is driven alot, mine sits around doing nothing. Drove it to the hardtuned.net meet friday night and cleared the cobwebs. Was running 25psi in the cold weather. Both engines are still looking very healthy.

I have considered putting Cams in my GTR to push the envelope a little further

Daaaamn 372rwkw @24psi - too much power man haha, I think I would be happy with 330rwkw.. Kurtis has the same neo engine/5558 turbo as me, but also got high mount mani, E85 and forward facing plenum correct? He makes 330rwkw @17psi on E85, I make 286rwkw @18psi on 98. A 15% power increase by going E85 (286 to 330) sounds about right hey??

Plazmaman plenum is 20kw, e85 say 30kw.

Its been a while since ive driven Micko's so cant give a good comparison. Also havent driven Kurtis's car since fixing the leaking bov. But was fun when i did

I thought I read in the rb25 dyno thread that you only had the .63 rear? Maybe I read it wrong though.

When are you seeing full boost and when is kurtis on full song?

Good to hear they are both holding up pretty well though!

    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
