Just finished the install of the new TO4Z on my R33 GTR, so a couple of questions :

first off, the turbo that came of was a Turbonetics GTK850, which was oil only, so I had to drop the coolant and tap in some water lines, do I need to purge the cooling system for any air pockets? & if so, how?

secondly, is it ok to drive before I get a new tune done, the GTK850 was a monster compared to the TO4, or is it only ok to drive like nana to the dyno for the tune?

so what do the wise heads on here say

parked car on a hill or jack it up so the front is higher. cut a coke bottle in half and shove it in the top of the radiator. fill it up with coolant with the motor running and keep topping up til the level stops dropping.

keep it off boost until tuned

do I need to purge the cooling system for any air pockets? & if so, how?

There's a bleeder just above and to the left of the fuel rail more or less in line with the end of the plenum. It's a hexagonal bolt with a little tag under it. I think there's another at the back of the motor but haven't got my car here ATM so I can't check.

Its got a hypertune plenum, so no bleed, don't think.. so I'm going with Jonno"s idea, jack the front etc

cheers

    • Definitely do-able haha. I will give it a try if the fuel pump hanger does not solve the issue. Just need to find some quiet time in the area, Malta is like a big city and I live right next to the main hospital so it is very busy during the day. I'll be installing it in about 2 weeks, found a garage that is pretty knowledgeable and has the necessary tools. This garage has worked on multiple builds, even for competitions. They even asked me to stay with, so I should be fine.
    • Just to add, I found the r32 gtr ecu the most forgiving, the r33 one would get the shits. 
    • For what it’s worth I drove my gtr for over a decade with gt-ss as a true daily after I pulled off the -5s, I had it engineered and went with stock ecu etc.  never skipped a beat.    I would only worry if you can’t get good fuel all the time in a tropical paradise
    • I bought an engine from a friend of a friend many years ago, it was sold to me as a RB25det Neo.    recently I started pulling it apart and noticed that the intake manifold was pretty different from others that I had seen on RB engines so did a bit of research and found that it was a non turbo manifold. So I’m sceptical now that it is a NEO DET and just thinking it’s a NEO DE (it does have a turbo strapped to it currently).    can you identify the engine model from the numbers on the block?
    • Yeah you can. Cable tie the gauge to a windscreen wiper, or run it into the car and hold it with one hand, or have the neighbour's kid run alongside and tell you what it says.
