Ooo you retuned? Why man? Your PT is so close by.... Why retune to suit your stock turbo when you are gonna put a new turbo on soon anyway?

Maybe Ron2 will beat Ron1 to fruition!

Retuned because Jez was good enough to ask me to come over so he can check the tune - re: previously my poor fuel economy, groaning and lack of power at low revs, pausing before taking off - all problems gone now, economy is better (dunno how much yet), even the engine sound is nice and purry and soft unlike before was a groaning louder mofo lacking in sharpness and lowdown-mid range power big time... Measured 182rwkw when I drove in, after a couple hours and 205rwkw, a completely different and very pleasurable car to drive. Its not the power thats the big difference, but the overall feel is way different

And you know with all this Ron1 Ron2 stuff you and I are gonna have some crazy rivalry going. Gonna need to battle it out at the drags on the regular!

HAHAH I dont even know how to launch man, let alone drive..lol, Sir 5558 should go on soon and you earn the title of Ron (damn, which turbo?) now I guess... :yes:

Mines going in for a tune Oct 3rd at Hyperdrive. Kando T67 on Hybrid Manifold,750cc inj, 98 oct, stock intake manifold, 3" Custom exhaust, Nistune with stagea image.

Should be firing it up this wkend, everythings fabbed up, just need to bolt the hotside on.

Hoping to crack 400rwhp safely.

Yep mines also the antisurge, from what research i'd done on them most people lose between 3-6% but then with the added benefits. Only thing im worried about is the noise pissing me off after the noveltys worn off.

Don't any of you listen to the radio? Once your sick of the noise the radio would block it out for sure.

And sif you would get sick of sounding like your packing something massive. Gentle overtaking with a mean mechanical whistle is farking awesome.

Lith do you still have your 33?

I'm guessing you'll safely get to about 370rwhp. If you crack 400rwhp, then big up's to you and your tuner :-)

That's probably a good reason why I never got sick of it, thinking of it - I always had music playing when I was lurking around, the main times I heard the turbo was when I decided I wanted to.... or the occasionally particularly big hill or other "high load" moment ;)

Yep. Rego on hold, have an RB30 block in the garage and almost acquired an RD28 block just for shxts and giggles. Just watching, pondering, and otherwise helping others make their cars faster.... you'd totally approve of the S14 I have been tuning lately, I think if you drove it you'd juice yourself.

HAHA nice, I think I might need to make a trip your way sooner or later and say Hi.

What turbs is on this 14? Im in the market as the thread tells :P

Power Enterprise PE1420 which is nicely suited to the unopened SR20DET. On 1bar we were seeing 80-120kph in 2.2s in 3rd, or 3.2s in 4th.... 1bar by 2900rpm in 4th gear.

Ohh I remember you told me bout that one ages back.

I wish you lived local man :(

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
