BANG! N the turbo has now died.. For the second time lol. Biiiiiiigggggerrr turbo now. So I think I win, I know have more work than u lol

>_< Seriously? Ouch.Howd you make a high flow go bang?

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.

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
