A31 cefiro

engine

fully forged rb30, crank collar and refurb rb25det s2 oil pump with higher pres releif, atmo catch can with drain,54mm ally rad, mega ducting, r32 rb25de head with standard de cam's (uhh ohh :down:) rb26 valve springs and adj cam gears, mild port work by the looks of it, custom intake mani with q45 throttlebody, 3 inch pipe work, isc cooler core, 4inch intake, kn filter mild cai, ase high mount stainless twin scroll mani, 50mm progate, garrett twin scroll t04z 8.2 rear housing, 3inch dump pipe into pretty dodge 3inch straight pipe exhaust with one resi then under diff into a oval muffler at back (the slight angle's down the exhaust are just like slightlly angle cut straight pipe's welded up :down:) screamer angled threw front left wheel, sard 800cc ts injectors, standard rail, fpr and lines, walbro intake lift pump to 2lt surgey with 044 hardwired, haltech e11v2ecu with boost controler etc, genuine loom with split fire adapter harness for a31 onto splitfire coilpack's, bcpre7 0.8 copper plugs..

driveline

rb25 box with nismo g-max twin plate clutch, nismo solid short shifter with strengthened pivot ball rb25 modified tailshaft, (after a brand new one piece tore 25 holes threw my trans tunnel and spunn the previous gearboxes bellhousing on the block, very first track day on the very first lap. WORST DAY :rant: ) welded r180, 6 bolt shaft's.

356rwkw on 21psi, bp ultimate fuel, 750nm.limiter at 7600rpm, tuned by simon podlewski at morpowa SA.

iv seen fair few similar setup's running much better number's on lower boost.

like trewella slide fx ceffy makes 80hp more on 6psi less boost with near similar setup.

have semi plan's to clean up and port match both manifolds

oil restrictor's and camtech drop in 268* 9mm lift cam's. suggestions for different inlet exhaust cam degree's welcomed? :)

any critic's/advise on any of the setup or parts welcomed :)

cheer's alot tom

also its had a annoying as slight intermittent misfire for quite some time now, cant put finger on what it could be.

is their a way of testing for fluctuation of the cam angle sensor signal?

as iv heard its comon with belt harmonics etc on nissan cas to bounce around the timing.

my timing belt layout is a copy of the osgiken design and the timing belt when cold and blipping throttle the belt bounce's and slaps the top of the lower timing belt cover so i know the belt is quite loose and slappy/bouncey.

why did you sticky the thread?

560hp @ 15psi out of a T04Z? that sounds like a happy dyno.

Agreed, sounds like a wives tale.

Back on topic though, 21psi through a t04z on a 3l should be making a fairly comfortable 400kw....

car's been sitting for over a year fixing the tailshaft mishap so hasnt been used stuff all, but i do plan on tighening the belt up asap.

what would be symptom's of a cam gear skipping a tooth? without smashing valve's into pistons that is. lol

adam "borneo" trewella's cef is tuned over in wa by glen camble. not sure on the dyno they use, that was just an example of a similar setup.

also note his car is running a neo 25 head, state's its pushing 410rwkw on 17psi.

how badly do you think the standard 25de cam's and dodge 3inch exhaust would be chocking up my setup?

it's a fair drive to get it down on the dyno but i plan on asking him to drop the exhaust next time its on their.

so 21psi still isnt really into the efficiency range of the t04z?

cheers guys!

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day  
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
    • Are you 100% sure this isn't tune related?
    • 140-150 across the board. At this point hoping the grounding harness fixes it. My grounds are all tied to the chassis and none to the battery. For SR and KA that’s never been a problem for me but had a few other guys here and Reddit who told me RB really like a very solid ground setup tied to the battery so going to try that next, I’m stumped if that doesn’t do it. Never had a car have spark and fuel and not fire off before. Only thing I can think is the spark is intermittent/weak because of grounds nothing else really makes sense at this point 
    • I am having close to the same issue. Can you help me with what wire you grounded to get your pump to trigger?
