I FINALLY got on the dyno today.

exhaust is restrictive as, but none the less very happy with the result(for now)

229awkw with 702 NM of torque..

exhaust will be changed soon so we'll see how it is in a month.

ill put up a dyno sheet tomorrow at work :D

Sounded good on the dyno, even better boosting up the road mate. lol

I bet you wish you had the tune before the cruise. :D

Did you do much to the trans apart from the shift kit from RVO? Did you get Cihan to mod the trans via EMU?

That wont be an option for a while I would say, he would have to rewire the auto ecu and hook the emanage up to it with the pwm output. (I just need him to regulate the lock up clutch for the torque converter by the looks of it) so you will be the test pilot if it works at all. Hopefully it will give us line pressure control dependant on boost or load instead of throttle position...

The RVO shift kit looks the go too, it held up well. :thumbsup:

Decided last Friday I was tired of getting a massage from my car above 90km/h so got a wheel balance done.. Well overdue and soo much nicer to drive now.

I just have to go and pay extra for the massage now. ;)

Great Result Aaron.. is that your speed cut at 169km/h? You need an override. :)

yeh its speed cut. before it cuts it looks like it still wants to climb.

Kakimoto R should be here mid march :) should be good. then i wanna try and get the low throttle area concentrated on!

speed cut is apart of the factory ecu. even scotts is like this.

I need to get a cut defender, or an impul or Gzone or something.

kinda sucks

Bugger, I thought you were able to bypass it with the emanage! Wonder if Scott would make a bit more power up top without it too! There are heaps of speed cut defenders on YAJ for our cars, but they're not 'cheap' :( You may be able to snap one up 2nd hand I guess.

the only ones i found were the vq35 cut defenders. its not something i wanna fiddle with though, just with a defender, i'de rather get the ECU and be able to get rid of a few things in one hit.

the tunes done in 3rd gear, so not sure how much more we would make as its close to 6500rpm before speed cut. but yeh, I think it will make a little difference at least, but it will be much more noticable down low torque. which is what im looking for. corolla's are still ahead off the line :(

My car went to 192km/h on the dyno @ 7300 rpm. So that is 38km/h per 1000 rpm. That would mean you would be at about 6450rpm.

sounds about that i wasnt far off a guess. 50rpm is good :whistling:

but yeh once i get a new ecu, get rid of speed cut, lift the Rev limiter.

should be good. i know what scott means when he says "i want more powah" lol

I have seen the HKS one but it will cost nearly as much as a Gzone ecu remap...

The low down torque wont be improved much without a cable throttle, high stall converter and V manage. (or a manual box) Its all designed to limit the power at takeoff so no skids for us. :)

i thought the G-zone brings it down substantially..

Cihan reckons if you tapped the accelerator on Craigs it was going!

i dont want skids, otherwise i wouldve bought a skyline. BUT, i would like to be able to take off.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.

      The old approach was to fill the cylinder/chamber with a length of rope pushed in through the sparkplug hole. The new approach is to connect compressed air to the sparkplug hole and fill it with enough pressure to push the valves up. Doing either of these things with the head on and the engine in the car is a lot less pleasant than doing it properly.

      Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Unpeeling the Orange

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
