Da Bitch Is Back


Recommended Posts

No not terrance, my car is back on the road as of Saturday. ;)

Stage 1 tune on sat at racepace we got a best of 256kw@wheels at 1 Bar and then ran the a/f ratios a flat 12 and got 250kw@wheels. We didnt play with the adj cam or anything as yet coz I aint running any BOV's at the moment so I now have the DUT DUT DUT VL noise when I get off the throttle, but its sending the afm crazy with all that air going backwards and hitting the turbo blades and causes the car to stall if I get off the throttle hard and am not in gear. Go a set of R33 GTR BOV's going on hopefully this week so we can play with it a bit more and see what I get.

I couldnt run anymore boost coz I was only running off the 1 bar spring in the external gate and nige did not want to run my profec b with the external gate coz it dont control boost that well apparently with an external gated turbo.

Car is surprisingly easy to drive off boost and still has alot of low down torque below 4000rpm, but just on 4000rpm it will hit 1 bar boost and pull all the way rather quick to 7500rpm redline.

I took a few pics last night in my garage after the skid pad training day where I gave it a good run in, but the engine bay is filthy and theres wires and shit which I havent had time to reroute and clean up as yet.

looks sweet!

Its actually quite filthy in there, its been sitting at the workshop with the bonnet open for around 3 months so it preety dirty. I am getting it steam cleaned after my bov's catch can and all the messy wiring u can see is all tired up this week.

There might even be a bit of blue rich incorporated in there ;)

^^^ Seeing that. *cough*shitbox*cough*

How the FARK is my turbo going to fit low mounted ;)

Oh well, it aint my problem ;)

Looks great denham.

250rwkw @ ~15psi. Looking VERY nice indeed.

Mine gets here today/tomorrow.

Cant wait to have a run with ya.

Keep us posted on how it goes with the tuning etc.

And what are you gonna use to control the wastegate etc?

All i will say ash is GOOD LUCK getting it to fit low mount without it either rubbing the engine or the engine bay. I had to use brackets to move the power steering bottle forward and a whole bunch of wiring on the passengers side had to be moved otherwise it will melt if it gets near the exhaust housing.

I gotta get an exhaust blanket for the exhaust housing also coz it blows back a bit of heat into the cabbin at the moment.

yer i was donw at ice when gerald n nige were explaining to me all the crap they had to go through just to fit that thing in there, but as you'd expect from ice it turned out sweet, hurry up n get that rebuild denham, unlock the full potential ;)

Forgies etc will be very nice and then i can pump 2 bar and make around 350kw@wheels but i have other bill to pay at the moment.

Hoping to have the next tune on wednesday for sat so we can play with a few other things.

After not driving the car for 3 months and now driving it i had a smile on my face all the way home after driving it from niges house to mine.

I will be waiting awhile coz its lots of fun at the moment, but i might crack it upto around 18-20psi for 300rwkw for a few calder runs with some nittos and some better fuel. I think my z32 afm is a bit shagged also, so gotta test out another one coz the stalling problem shits me up the wall!!

BTW nathan theres a few secrets that Ben and Nige wont tell you coz they only tell high mount manifold turbo owners. wink wink ;)

Yeah I was lucky enough to get to see this in action yesterday and it certainly looked and sounded very very nice.

And it was good to meet you finally too yesterday INASNT!  ;)

Good to meet you to man, and sorry i didnt hang around outside the gate after, but the misses was busting to go to the toilet so i had to hook off.

I was hoping all through the skidpad yesterday that nothing would break coz the turbo only had about 150 km run in before the tune and light thrashing i gave it on the skidpad.

;)

I know we gonna need it.

But wires etc, i'm lucky. All mine (being R31) are not there etc. And the bay has a slightly different design.

But mine sit's VERY low. So i wont need to move the P/S stuff luckily. Just need to make a add-on to my haet shield that i've already got.

Gonna be good fun. How does it feel?

Nice and responsive?

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
