ah i was going thru hanaldo's build thread and watching his video's and he was saying that he wasnt making enough power and even with extra boost it wasnt making more, probably wrong section :ph34r:

looking at hanaldo's vids and dyno, wondering if its the turbo thats maxed out, cause with the garrett, well my one, seems to gain 10kw every 1psi, no dig just thinking or has it changed lately?

Is possible. But given the size of the turbo, and other results achieved with them, it shouldn't be. Just a matter of crossing things off the list now.

Can. Not. Be. Farked.

They spend just as much time in each others build threads. Same same

:laugh:

The car in this thread works better though, my thread is full of pig.

  1. Buy more springs
  2. Agricultural piping to intake
  3. ???
  4. Profit

LOL you are a special kid i give you that much :P

Martin just enjoy it for a while man! You deserve it after the effort you've put in.....

So big weekend -

So the clutch went in pretty sweet, Another thanks goes out to AGGRODAVE for the torque setting, much appreciated :thumbsup: Rear gearbox seal just arrived at my desk so it will go in tonight and will degrease it all down... Filled the box with the smurphs blood (Redline lightweight shockproof stuff) and fir the exhaust, we fit the new 100 cell venom cat, no noticable change it exhaust not etc at this stage....

Whilst at it i also fit the front coilovers and sprayed the strut bar (Thanks to Kurtis34 for suggesting) and it came up pretty good -

Not sure what to set the coilovers too but at the moment the front is 24 and the rear is 16... Will see how that goes on the road... It also sits about an inch lower now :)

I noticed at Texi the lock on the 34 sucked for the one run i tried to do a skid so i added some steerting spacers and loctite the rods back in to make sure they were secure after doing some research online

Doesnt seem to scrub or foul on anything however i will need to try again with the splashguards back in.

Rolling the guards was much easier than expected, there is no sign from the outside that they are slightly pumped, when you look close you can see the guard angle change but it looks sweet -

It was my first attempt but was a pretty easy job with the roller and hear gun :D

This is how the rear now sits with new coilovers etc -

JEM gave me a new tune to put in to try diagnose the E sensor issue, they have been fantastic as always, am going through it tonight i hope :yes:

Was good to see it all lit up at night, the globes are thanks to 666DAN on the forums a while back

So after the first initial drive to turn it around my opinion on the Jim Berry clutch is absolutely AMAZING :woot:

I got excited and took some happy snaps, paint is crap but it still comes up OK for a nugget! Cant wait to get the paint sorted and have a nice clean car again -

looks great, great when everything goes to plan.. im interested to know the traction difference of going from the tein's to the BC coilovers, looks like you have kumho's on there too.

im guessing it didnt squat much on the rear and the kumho's wouldnt grip?

So many updates!!! dude your car looks amazing

give it ere!

Was a huge weekend! Pretty sore but worth it.... Back at it again after work! Farrrrkin SAU NATS :woot:

I've changed tyres too but the 275's on it arent known to be the grippest things on the planet lol..... They only have a 2 week lifespan before the RS-R's go on for the Nats anyway.... Powerplay is going to be epic!!

Ive set the rear softer and am trying to get proper wheel align settings for tomorrow. That should make it nice and grippy!

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
