It's a shame you bought the wrong VQ to turbo Simonster, the 3.5 has weak rods to help with the 8k rev limit, you will have to rebuild the sucker first unfortunately (unless you are happy with 4-5psi?)

The factory turbo engines are the ones to go for, the VQ30det's are the cheapest option and with no adjustable cams they are the easiest to get running. I believe they may have Nistune working on the stock ecu too. This engine should be good for 400-450wkw unopened.

I disagree- DE's are the weaker version. The HR is a completely different animal essentially a redesign, it's much better. The HR rod is much stronger.

I've spent the last month+ talking to tuners and guys running them in the US and I'm happy with what i've got. I think it'll surprise a lot of people.

Running E85 and a special version of the Haltech, she'll do it very, very easily. :cheers:

That's good, it means you know what you're getting yourself into. I hope you get better support from Haltech than I got. lol.

You should be fine with the high compression and e85 but lets hope the rods handle the extra torque from that alone. It will surprise a few people that's for sure.

What boost are you looking to push through the TD05's? They should be good for well over 500kw right? External gate I assume? Start a build thread on it so we don't hog the Kando thread.

Flicked through a few of the US fourms, and found a result of 490rwhp on a HR on 11 or 12 psi. Then again one failed in Melb on 270rwkw.

Choose your people wisely and it'll be great. +1 on the build thread. Some serious fabrication going to go into it

:cheers:

Lol... just found your thread on my350z

Jesus, that was quick :whistling:

Yes i'll start one if people are interested.

Will be interesting to see the curve with VCT working as it looks fairly lazy (for the turbo size) but fook me that top end is very impressive considering the boost

Definately. I have not done any low down tuning with this thing yet. Is just as rich on boost build up as it is on full boost which once optimized should be even better.

Then im keen to go to the drags :D

you searched kando didnt you..try search Kinugawa :thumbsup:

Yes, yes i did :blush:

Teach me for trying to do my shopping straight after night shift haha.

Anyone had the rear off their Kando lately?

Had mine off today and noticed what looked like tiny cracks in between some of the fins. I could not feel them with my finger but they didn't rub off either...

Had some issues with melting silicon so copied simon and got a elbow welded on :)

Mate just got a TIG and this was his first cast ally weld, not great haha..

Tell him not to clean with an angle grinder or wire brush.

It impregnated the alloy with all sorts of crap.

If it needs any type of grinding then use a dedicated alloy sanding disk (not a flap wheel they are as bad as grinding discs)

Also recommend he try's cleaning with Albright for any type of "used" alloy then a wipe down with general purpose thinners.

The welds incosistant but it looks like he was struggling to control the heat in some places.

thanks man ill pass that on... we used a flapper disc to take it back cause the first pass was rubbish.

yeah, been waiting to see if they start falling apart ..how many ks you done on it now...

Picked up new clutch today...now I just need to find my motivation :happy:

Fark all maybe 8000ks. May just be manufacturing marks but i don't remember seeing them when i put it on, will have a closer look tomorrow.

Best I could do with my iphone..

had a closer look today and you can feel it with your finger nail, almost every fin has a similar crack to this in the same place although the one in the pic was the biggest.

Will send Mr kando an email and see what he thinks..

Edited by battery

Hopefully they replace or send out billet wheel

That pic is of the exhaust wheel and they don't make billet versions of those. The comp side looks brand new.

Well if you can feel it then you've answered your question.

What turbo is this from- have you been running it particularly hard?

Could just be a manufacturing defect. Hopefully you get a good result from Eiji.

T67-25G 20psi max, mainly street so nothing super intense.

Emailed him earlier, will be interesting to see his reply.

may i draw everones attention to the rb25 dyno thread, jez has cracked 300 @ 17psi and no vct.

with vct it should be a different animal all together, not to mention stretching the compressor flow to its limits. i dare say jez will give mick a real run for his money when its done. from memory theyare shapping up quite similar up top, boost for kw that is.

now, begin!

    • This sounds like a perfect excuse to install a Haltech R3.
    • I do believe from context he is talking about a S0/S1 R33 RB25 with associated ECU and Wiring for that, and a manual gearbox into a R34 N/A Auto. I don't have the knowledge of all the pinouts and such but my gut feeling from doing my own conversion is to use as much of the R33 stuff that you can. The "car" wiring is quite seperate from the "Engine" wiring when all things are considered. The only things to truly consider 99% of the time is the cluster, reverse lights and potentially disabling the 'not in P/N' immobilizer circuit.
    • A realistic expectattion of how long it has to last also comes down to.... when do you think you will be banned from registering and driving old petrol powered shitters? It's 27 years since that thing was built. It probably rusted out 15 years ago. It was probably repaired and looked OK for another 10. If you do a similarish bodge job now, or perhaps slightly better with some actual rust conversion and glassing, then.... get another 10-15 years out of it, after which you'll only be permitted by the CCP to drive electric cars manufactured in their Shenzen zone anyway. 
    • Let me assume that the concern over a manual ECU is that the NeoDET that you have was an auto and has an auto ECU. That ECU will not be a problem, but you WILL have to Nistune it. And you would have to Nistune it even if you had a manual ECU, because the turbo ECUs will shit the bed if they do not have all the things that they were told they have to have, to be happy. The big one being the TCS CU, which you won't have in your car. Anyway, with an auto ECU (which I have running my originally auto NeoDET in an R32) Nistune allows you to put in a Stagea image which doesn't panic about the absent TCS, and allows you to override a whle bunch of other annoyances that would otherwise see the check engine light on 100% of the time. Also, you can't wind up the power very far on the stock NeoDET ECUs without Nistune, because the boost sensor gets in the way. Nistune allows you to push that problem much further up the dial. Do you even have the boost sensor with the engine? Without it, you are SOL and will need an aftermarket ECU (or to find a sensor somewhere, god knows where). I can't tell you what the wiring loom differences are in a 34. But what Duncan said above needs to be considered. When you say "loom", does that include the transmission loom? Because you will need to swap out the auto tranny loom for the equivalent manual loom, and get rid of the neutral/park start interlock (basically hot wire it).
    • I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as
