Should have had the intake pipe go into an empty airbox in the standard position and from there to go back to the turbo. a mate of mine had this setup on his BMW and had the pipe go into his stock airbox which his BOV was inside aswell :P Not once did he get caught either.

Guess i'll have to get new injectors when i do more performance. which i'll remind everyone won't be for quite a while.

How many people would be interested to see the difference in power output when i put the new box in? cause i'll be getting it retuned when i do it, so i guess i might as well put the dyno sheets up.

ca 18 375cc injectors, all cleaned and flow tested.

As far as i know they should be suffiecent enough to handle the power i want to get out of the car.

Whats your car putting to the wheels?

R33 ones are 370cc from what I know and they max out around 210-220kw.

Oh, need to ask this, at the moment i don't have a BOV, when i back off on the boost, i get a flutter sound, is that bad for the turbo?

And seeing as im staying auto, do i need a bov with my setup? Seeing as when the gears change i don't need to back off the accelerator and i'm still on boost for the entire next gear, will putting in a bov ruin that continuous effect?

If i need a bov, i want one that doesn't make much sound when im driving around normally, i dont mind if it makes noise when i've been booting it, but still the more discrete the better. I like the sequential bov's, if that what there called.

no its not bad for the turbo, but a recirc makes tuning slightly easier and will make it a lot quieter if that is what you are after, atmo venting will just be even louder and more annoying.

if you get anything adapt a recirc bov into the intake.

fit a std BOV and it will clear the issues of flutter

the BOV only fires when you close the throttle body so it wont affect the throttle body always on (auto gearbox style)

imho fit a bov

nissan made it std for a good reason

only thing is standard manifolds etc have no provisions for a stock bov, might be easier to fit an aftermarket one with a plumback attachment. I know the rb30et didn't come with a bov from the factory either.

It isn't a huge issue, just comes down to noise and making it easier to tune on gearshifts.

when i get the new gearbox put in i'll tell my mechanic to put in a recirc bov at the same time. Then we'll see what difference that makes on the retune.

Oh and i was just talking to the mechanic and he recons the injectors should be good for about 250rwkw. The limiting component is my gearbox at the moment. So we shall see what happens later down the track.

Hey Kurt,

I'll have to come round and check it out now that you've got her tuned up... I'm glad to see Marty got it all sorted out for you.

Do you still have a stock plastic intake pipe?

For eveyones info, Tassie dosn't have road worthy certs every year and I've never seen a 'defect' sticker... I've been driving heavily modified imports for 10 years. The only thing I've heard of is tickets for bald tyres, lights, loud exhausts and driving offences.

Oh and there's no limmit for p platers.

Cheers

You may be able to get close to that (or maybe a bit more) if you use an adjustable fuel pressure reg.

Well scrap every thing i said about trying to hide it then.

I still have the plastic snorkle from the front to the box, Marty might still have the pipe that goes from the box to the plenum.

Send us a text on 0435 262 590. I've got tomorro off for once.

I've got a genuine Tomei Fuel Pressure Regulator, don't know if its adjustable or not, but i don know that all the modifcations done to the car were done with quality and reliability in mind.

tomei is adjustable, wind the top bolt (after undoing the lock nut) into the reg to increase the pressure, but only do this on the dyno right before a re tune and dont go crazy with the pressure.

Id get creative and re-install the airbox to plenum pipe to complete the stealth look. Cut the bottom out of it and slide it over the alluminium pipe.

Don't stress about the injectors.

I've got a stall convertor already. or will it not fit a new box?

Hey Kurt, don't you have a spare r31 auto box??? Your best bet would be to send the spare auto box away to get built up (more clutchs, bigger bands, shift kit etc) to handle the extra power... That way it will swap straight in without any buggering around... to put a 33gts-t auto in would be alot of stuffing around.. and it won't last as long as a properly build box anyway.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
