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!

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
