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 all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
