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.

    • 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)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
