Crap Aaron. What have you done to your car to deserve that? I'm interested so I might be able to keep mine running longer....

I do like your positive attitude though. Spoken like a young person with no kids/mortgage and plenty of time to devote to their car :)

Yeah I'd like to know...hi flowed turbo dying...were u trying to run 25+ psi???

Nice work Craig! Would love to have that power.

I am about to finish up my dump/front.. and was thinking about highflow while I am there.

This might be a stupid question, but is anyone running a highflow & standard ECU with no problems? I just don't want to spend stupid amounts of money... :unsure:

If by 'No problems' you mean laaaaaaaag. then yep, I had 'no problems' :)

For what its worth though, stock ECU w\ High Flow turbo I made 126 awkw.. Impul ECU w\ High Flow turbo (1 week later, same dyno, same operator) I made 173 awkw. Unfortunately I dont have a number for my car Stock ECU & Stock turbo.

You can get away with H/F turbo(about Andy's or Scott's Size) Dump, Bigger FMIC and Exhaust...that will take your injectors up to about 90-95% but still be running the standard ECU or another similar ECU. e.g. Nismo, K-Zone, Impul.......!

If you do a HF my size you will be adding another couple of bit's + an E-Manage or similar and injectors to get it working properly.....but then again you will also most double the KW's at the wheels from standardbanana.gif....safely! I'm running at a max of 67% duty cycle on my injectors and it's plenty safe!

they are about 135 - 140 AWKW's dead standard!

Are you serious, Dunc? Wow, I would never have thought that a standard ECU would cost that much power. I'm guessing it was doing the usual Nissan rich/retard thing and that kills it as soon as it would get any decent flow of boost, right? I'm stunned that it would cost nearly 50awkW though...

To give you a guide.. I had Impul, stock Turbo, full 3 inch exhaust, HDI FMIC, Plenum spacer and and my car made 152.9 awkw.

I have not been back on the dyno since I installed the High Flow Turbo (Sierra Stage 1) but I know I gained approx 14% higher Power Score from the Informeter so my best estimate is now 174kw.. :)

Just a few more things to do before tune and the 200+ number.. :cheers:

Well, there you go! Smack bang in the middle of my runs :P

100% serious, I posed up the dyno read outs in the Dyno thread - I did the runs on Willall's Mainline dyno, so I trust the numbers. I didnt get AFM read outs from the first run, but yeah Id guess it was retarding hard.

Assuming your turbo is similar to my high flow, id have thought it would get higher than that.

Ive got the HDI and Plenum spacer now. Very close to getting the emanage installed & tuned, I should be able to hunt down that 200 milestone with just 1 more mod ph34r.gif, unsure if I want to do injectors now or later in the year though.

A few things I have learn t in this process,

* The standard intercooler flows quite well, it just does not handle the really hot days or repeated runs (so no gain there).

* The plenum spacer helps drivability, economy and reduces intake temps faster. (but little real gain on the dyno)

* My measurements have been on the street so not the best place to go all out.

I am running out of injector duty cycle already so I would think the injectors are a must if you are to make any more changes Dunc.

Cheers for the replies guys.

I don't have any issues going highflow / ecu / injectors. I just worry about transmission after those mods... >_<

lol........working in the background atm we seem to be getting all different figures.....

I personally recon the standard GB is good for about 190 - 210AWKW's......240 AWKW's with a shift kit....anything after that and you will eventually burn out the clutch's.

Then we have the scenario of what the rebuilders are saying. 1 is saying safe for 1000hp + mega NM's for approx $2,500 with 2 year's warranty. Scott's was about $3,000 but he had the stall converter done as well and I think he got warranty but his GB guy is saying about 260AWKW's atm. Then Dominello's in Sydney is saying about 340-350AWKW's and 2 year's warranty for about $3,500 with the a new converta!

1 thing I can tell yah.....is the Standard GB don't like 270AWKW's when shifting!

Don't want to sound sceptical, but can you prove the increase in driveability, economy and reduction of intake temps?

lol.....I'm still feeling guilty about how I responded to the same question before buy someone so I'm going to try and clean this one up.

Nup......but if you want proof......come and try on the alloy one I still have floating around and that should give you the economy(also comes with the reduction of intake temps) and driveability(off peddle a little more so more economy).......as for the reduction on intake temps....you can work that one out......Bakelite vs alloy!

Or go and ask some of the other guy's that have them on this forum....Cam is the person to get in contact with to buy what's left of his Bakelite kit's...Andy and I wont be making them anymore!

As Craig said,,

Not going to prove anything to any body. I use it because I notice a difference in economy (yes reduced consumption on the Hwy, Just drove Albury to Sydney door to door for 10L/100km). The low speed drivability is something that has to be felt as it can not be shown. And intake temps, I run an informeter on my car and can see how quickly I can bring down the intake temps when driving.

Don't believe it, don't do it.

i put my good ones on, then i got a wheel alignment, unlike the previous person :P

Cheeky f**ker :P

Actually, I did have 2 wheel alignments with those wheels (the second after my Nismo S-tunes went on).

It was the rear camber that wore the two tyres so badly.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
