Hey guys well we have been working on this R35 for some months now and we have finally got everything installed, the project was always going to be done in installments however i thought i would just share some summery pics with you and some data on the different Horsepower vs the mods done. The car has been to the track twice during the mods with times dropping on each occasion. To date its best time is 56.1 on the Queensland Raceway sprint track Not to bad for a car with standard turbos and standard ecu's at the time. Since then we have installed the F-con V-pro ecu and the power gains have been quite good however the torque gains have been excellent, this is due to the Valcon Variable cam timing ecu that comes with the R35 control system package. The other mods that have been installed include The HKS Gt600 kit which includes more stable actuators for the turbos, New colder heat range spark plug, hard piping kit, HKS blow off valves, 2 High volume Fuel pumps, Adjustable Fuel pressure regulator, Full Racing down pipes with mufflerless centre pipe. Hard piping kit and a rear GT600 finisher panel. The customer also ordered HKS intercoolers which comes with an unbelievable carbon ducting system, A DCT transmission cooler which for all of you that own one of these is a must. And the full Titanium Rear exhaust. All this Married together has yielded awesome from standard.

I guess i will let the picture do the talking this is just a few and if you want more of a particular part let me know and i will post them up.

Now for some picture of the Exhaust system, you can also see the DCT transmission cooler system running neatly under the car with its solid Alloy lines and braided hose.

And finally the R35 full control system this comes with a special R35 spec F-Con V pro Ecu and a Valcon Variable cam timing controller Together they maximize power and torque.

I will post up all the comparison dyno graphs very soon so you can all see the gains in power.

If you have any question in regards to any parts in this build dont hesitate to contact us

cheers dave

damn that HKS gear looks nice. the intercooler and carbon ducting combination is a work of art

is Drew coming out to QR on the 23rd?

I would love to see this car go for the GT800 upgrade!

Hopefully, not to sure he has been away for work. Yes i wanna see the gt800 kit too..

would love to see yours and his beating the Porsche's.

Hi Dave,

Kind of offtopic question but regarding the HKS F Con V Pro's, I have one of these ecu's and am looking at installing in my series 1 s14 silvia.

I don't have the correct loom for my car or any sensors and all of the looms I could find for sale are piggyback type designed for all f con models (FCON V PRO, FCON IS etc).

Is it correct that if you run as a piggyback with the standard ECU you can still run MAF setup?

Can you purchase a standalone type loom or is the piggback loom also used in this application just without connecting the standard ecu?

I realise running standalone would require me to run the 3 Bar map sensor and I would probably run the optional temp sensor as well in this configuration.

Cheers

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
