sigh got rolled today, went and picked up my pipework, with the bov adaptor welded in place... well wasnt that a mistake to take it to someone who i normally dont get to do my work. they totally f#$%ed the whole job. i sent an intercooler pipe with a genuine turbosmart bov adaptor to suit the stock rb25 crossover pipe, told them to cut the base plate off, or trim it up and weld it on. Now you would think, trim it up would mean keep it neat, cut it in a circle u know, using your common sense, along with drilling the hole out to suit the 32mm I/D or the adaptor, well didnt i get a shock. The welding is terrible, looks like a pile of bird shit, they didnt tidy it up by cutting the base plate into a nice circle, just lopped a bit off each end, and then to make it worse, the hole in the pipe iteslf was only 20MM seriously WTF. Luckily i have a die grinder and fixed it up, but the welding makes the whole job look like a piece of sh1t. It will get me out of trouble for the tune, but now i have 2 get it done again.

ROFL at this work from a stainless steel and aluminium fabrication shop.

nah $30 is all i paid em, 30 mins labour... power steering and my charcoal canister have been relocated to the firewall on the passengers side.

and all my wiring on that side is under the guard

so all i have left is

should be, but when i drive it almost everyday still.. well when its tuned i will be, you tend to get pulled over a fair bit and id like to try and avoid the EPA as much as i can hahaha.

and nah the lines run along the chassis rail then come up with the aircon pipes which they are cable tied to :D im not that silly, although i might heat shield them anyway, wouldnt hurt, im going to be doing the brake line on that side, last thing i need is boiled brake fluid, happend to my cousin in his rx7, ran a 10.4 1/4 mile and couldnt stop intime for the 1st off shoot, had 2 run all the way down to the end of the strip.

with that setup the carbon canister is the least of you worries... TMU will see that engine bay and then cry with tears of joy....

When is someone going to try an internally wastegated one on the factory manfiold???

Apparently the internal gate versions are average, much more cost effective and easier to use a hyper gear unit.

most of my shit is legal though defect wise, but no way in hell will i pass EPA... i have another setup for the intake pipe which will bolt up to an airbox :D, so that will make the fmic legal, the exhuast manifold as far a i know is legal as its no different to a set of extractors in theory, my wastegate i plumbed into the exhaust, my ECU is hidden, and my injectors are highflowed so they dont stand out like dogs nuts.. so apart from being unsure about the wastegate, oh and i have no boost adjuster, i dont actually know what will fail defect wise. As i said though EPA will have a field day on it.. punched out cat, one muffler, injectors, ecu... lol, no hope.

actually, hes right, after looking at it.. lol stupid me, the bov has to plumbed back to the plenum(vacuum when the throttle is shut) otherwise it wont have vacuum to open it and will stay pressurised lol, i honestly didnt even pay attention to that when i put it in last night.

One for Simon, how do u find the t67 vs your old t04z? I would love to know.

Kinugawa T67 on stock RB25: 1bar in 4th at 3500rpm and 480rwhp on E42.5 mix

Garrett T04Z on built RB26 with cams: 1bar in 4th 4000rpm and 575rwhp on BP98

Can't really compare them because they are on different fuels, with different motors in different cars...

They both are about as quick as each other (although the GTR would monster the Gts-t in 1st, 2nd and probably 3rd on the street because of the 4WD grip) but the Gts-t is a lot lighter so that makes up for the lack on outright power.

Really it's apples with oranges, T04Z will make 150hp more than the T67 :)

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
