What are you using the car for, I only ask this as Im unhappy with my outcome, I would rather more response than to a turbo that comes on late and hard, my set up is more suited to drag but I wanted track. The spool time is crap, its like waiting-waiting-waiting-wheel spin.

Fair enough, what turbo& setup are you using? I'm mainly going to be using mine for street, with the odd track/drift/drag, basically looking for an all rounder ay.

First step on the way :( smoky burnouts here i come! lol

Having had a bit of a read through some more stuff i'm thinking i'm gonna definately get some forged conrods and go for a t04z. Would the engine as i'm plannin it atm handle that size turbo? what, if anything, would i need to change for that to work well? The head is definately gonna get a light porting and stronger valve springs, adj cam gears and aftermarket cams plus 850cc injectors adjustable fuel reg and so forth

Also, just thinking about using the TiAL 50mm BOV, would that be high flow enough? I like the sound of em lol but if it won't flow enough i'll go for a another option. What do you guys reckon?

Just make sure you get a twin scroll rear housing and keep it small and get a manifold to suit.

Sweet thanks mate

Can you give me some dimesions there in terms of "keep it small"? And what exactly is a twin scroll rear housing lol

small would be a .81ish A/R or a .84ish split pulse/twin scroll.

will be capable of making 400+rwkw or 540+hp

engine will handle the turbo, depends how much boost you run through it though.

the hydraulic lifters will be 'possibly' the weak link depending on psi and power

Cheers for the link/picture D_Stirls i now get the idea behind split pulse lol makes a lotta sense when ya figure it out!

Okay sweet so .84a/r t04z split pulse and a suitable manifold?

It already sounds awesome just typing it lol I cant wait haha

In terms of a split pulse manifold for rb30's who of the big companies make em? or is it more likely to be a custom made job?

sweet as, yeah i know a few good fabricators here i'll have a chat to, just wondering if any of the big companies make em off the shelf like lol

yeah i'll check rips out too, already planning on using a rips intake so getting an exhaust manifold at the same time makes sense even to me haha

these guys are pretty much the big companies when it comes to manifolds i think. apart from japanese gear.

a specifically suited manifold that is as good quality as the japanese stuff locally, offer lifetime warrenty too

did you consider rips building your whole motor? they do something really special with them haha

Edited by jangles

Yeah fair enough, i'll have a look around see what I can find out

Yeah, they're doing my r34 GTR VSpec II Nur...after i win lotto :D

lol yeah i did think about it but in the end it was just too expensive, plus to be honest i'm not looking for a car that insane lol

Edited by MNTLRB

ha yeah, price is always a key issue!

they build mild engines aswell though.

anyway, make sure you get a split pulse/twin srcoll manifold when getting a split pulse/twin scroll turbo.

i still dont think you need the TO4Z for your power goals, but it gives you head room for down the track!

Yeah, I know it's a bit over the top, but i'd rather do it once and do it right, and I just have a feeling that I'd probably end up changing to the t04z later on anyway so I figure I'm just saving myself time lol

And yeah I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get addicted to power hunting (I've already upped my power goal from when I started) so this is playing it safe lol

Haha and somehow I think it's only gonna get worse not better :(

so still need some idea on cams, anybody have ideas? Basically want mild gain but don't wanna have to modify the head extensively (doing full recon, mild port, reseat valves and aftermarket valve springs, adjustable cam gears)

anybody know what stock cam specs are for r32 25de head?

go with the biggest drop in cams you can get to suit, i wouldnt bother with the DE cams for what youre going to do.

http://www.kelfordcams.com/applications.aspx#Nissan

local to you, and are a great bit of gear

drop in wont even matter.

if the head is apart, u can get it clearanced to suit bigger.for not much more.

something around the 262 9.3 would be good. H182-B

Edited by jangles

Yeah, i was never planning on using the standard cams, just wanted to know their specs so I can get an idea of what sorta increase any aftermarket ones were.

For those ones (H182B) I would only have to get the head clearanced for them to work ok?

Also I cant really tell from the website, I assume the prices are US $?

    • New CAS just turned up from NZ Wiring. Looks like a nice bit of gear.  So, yeah. Triggered, bro. Realised I may as well do the cam belt while mucking about with it so will order one of them.
    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.
