Just something silly to keep you amused until i update this thread properly with what is/will be new........ :woot:

Nice 34 mate! Just checked out the Ringwood vids - my 3076 setup on E85 makes 300rwkw by 5.5k rpm - getting it to the ground in 1st or 2nd is practically impossible - that's probably what it looks like when I take off hard! ;-)

I was going to go the ethanol sensor / flex fuel route, but the E85 from Caltex here in Adelaide has been consistent all year round so far, and with the wideband it doesn't seem all that necessary. How has it been working for you?

How much have you spent all up do you reckon (if you don't mind me asking)?

Thanks :) 5500rpm? That is pretty laggy.... Are you sure?

The Sensor is great as the car is full flex fuel so i can use 98, E85 and anything inbetween....

Spent? Basically 3 years of everything i had spare lol.... No idea but its a lot!

Its certainly thinking outside the box, I've personally never seen it tried on an RB25, but I'm sure the results will be spectacular :D

Hmmmm have you got a DIY thread on how to do this? I see gains to be had :P

Actually while I'm in here...

Hey Mat. UPDATES!! I know you're keeping secrets! :domokun:

Updates will be coming soon! Its getting the tune finally done with the bigger injectors :yes:

300kw by 5,500rpm laggy? Or are you just kidding? Lol. :P

The dyno sheet you posted (page 30 I think?) shows you are (or were) only just making over 300 at those revs - and I still have factory manifolds and a low mount internal wastegate turbo...! There's also a restriction somewhere, as it hits 300 and then just holds to redline on 18psi - adding more boost just makes the intake temps soar and the power drop. Theories are either the non-split dump pipe or the internally gated exhaust housing... Not really keen on spending any more money to find out though - the only time I can really open her up is when I head up into the hills anyway, it is a daily driver after all. Trying to get the power down now around town is just about impossible (as you'd know well) - There's a reason why GTRs exist... heh. 3rd flat out is an awesome feeling, but you're in serious loss of license territory by then! ;)

Your car sounds exactly the same as mine, but then again I suppose it should since it's the same turbo! And it sounds freaking tough by the way. :yes: Anyone that knows Skylines would know it's not stock.

I went with the Haltech P2000 as well - awesome ECU. People freak out when I show them what you can do with a laptop. It's amazing how many people have no idea what's going on behind the scenes with modern fuel injection.

I'm thinking of moving interstate this year and will probably need to get rid of the car (booo!), so I actually added up all my receipts the other night - imported the car 100% stock in 2007 for $23k complied, and my receipts for all mods (including wheels but not tyres or servicing) came out to around $27k. Not as bad as I imagined really... over 6 years it doesn't seem that bad. Oh, if anyone's interested in one of these toys pm me, I'd probably be 'happy' to part with it in the low $20k range... :sleep:

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
