would i be able to get some advise on what to do with my bov? i just got it installed and its pretty loud, am afraid that it will get the cops attention. i am getting a plumb-back adapter for it, any opinions on that?

thanks!

go back to stock, even stock has a fair bit of noise with a pod/highflow filter

Does anyone have a 250-300rwkw gtst / gtt / gtr in Sydney who could take me for a brief spin in their skyline as I am also contemptlating putting on a hypergear turbo down the track??? I would really appreciate that.

Have a read of the nistune website. It lists a number of WA installers:

http://www.nistune.c...istributors.php

Also read the nistune thread on here.

The panel filters are a common size - falcon, evo etc.

I m using a Pipercross Px-PP1128 for about $100 there are K&N many others.

Use the search button and use Google to ask questions (quite often you will be referred to this website!).

may i ask where u bought ur panel filter from?

and also with my current pod filter, if i remove it and replace it with the panel filter, do i need any other adpaters or parts? cos when i bought the car, it already came with the pod filter, don't have the stock parts.

thanks!

Well I bought mine in Auckland so no use to you. You could order one from one of these Aussie suppliers: http://www.pipercross.net/fastroad/stockists_worldwide.asp?country=AU&id=9

From memory the afm bolts to the box and the hose fits the afm but since you have a pod now its not a priority tbh just look out for the bits at the right price when they come up.

Could I get some opinions on leaving out the bov entirely, covering up the valve and run it full surge back without any bov?

It will be noisy and depending on the turbo it can sound really shit or ok, can always block off your current bov so you know what it will sound like. Just make a gasket out of a coke can for now and see.

dumps are the same according to a tuner I spoke to

neo has a different intake manifold, different sensors, ignition etc but exhaust should be identical

neo only came in the R34 afaik so 99% sure you have one

cos im getting one and on ebay they're selling a RB25 one and a RB25DET one. Not sure which one to get.

Cheers!

odd, ask them to clarify before you buy, see if anyone in here chirps up as well, afaik they were all the same, maybe I'm wrong.

edit: oh right, 34 one is probably going to be different due to exhaust mounting etc, the actual dump flange is the same though.

if you're going to upgrade the Turbo (why not when you can get stock like response but a heap more power) go for the Hypergear SS highflow - around 250rwkw and very similar response to stock. You'll prob need a Z32 AFM, but you MIGHT be able to get away with it. I maxed the resolution at around 240'ish rwkw on my old GTT.

You'll need a GOOD intake pipe made up as well if you switch turbos. The old 'shove a metal pipe in' has it's limits, you'll need something custom made up - DON'T go the silicone options, waste of time. Metal, metal, metal.

Injectors are a much easier deal now-a-days, just grab some Injector Dynamics injectors. Start around the 725cc mark, but i'd prob just get 1000's to allow for E85 :D Or get the 'no-name' variety of Bosch EV12 (i think) style injector, that's what the ID's are based off.

I went nistune, hypergear highflow, stock airbox, stock BOv, highflow panel filter, return flow IC (plus other supporting mods) for bout 5+ years with GTT - never any cops drama's at all. Make sure the exhaust isn't too loud, and following all the great advice already in this thread you'll have a mean car that's still quite stealth. 250rwkw in a GTT is a lot of fun :)

But please please look into your tyres/suspension/brakes as well.

Swaybars, do eeet! Cheap and fantastic handling upgrade - Whiteline.

Tyres, my car liked the KU36's, but alternatively i'd prob splash a few hundred more on some AD08's from tirerack

Brake cylinder stopper, check ebay, very cheap.

Check brakes over, bleed, put some good fluid in etc (RBF600)

But yeah, would be a good idea to check the spring rates if you can. Get some swaybars for sure though! :D

have fun

Both are rubbish imo..the outlet is only 2.5" on those style of dump elbows

Better off with something like this

They also have a stainless one

3" all the way through and bolt straight up to the cat

what about this one? it doesn't say 2.5" or 3"

    • They care about emissions, and cost the most. Save weight where possible, and make manufacturing easier. Less material also let's the engine transfer heat to water quicker, and bring the engine up to temp quicker, better for emissions and getting them past their warranty period.
    • I was under the impression the reason why OEMs are going with solutions like relatively thin "right-sized" cylinder walls with technologies like PTWA and open deck is because they care a lot about whatever marginal knock margin benefits they get from that vs the structural rigidity benefits of a closed deck block and thicker cylinder walls. I also see some weird stuff like plastic inserts in the water jacket around the cylinders to try and equalize cylinder wall temperatures. re: the PRP blocks and heads at the end of the day it's hard to know what is and isn't going to work there, just have to see what the initial buyers say about it.
    • Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?
    • https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild. 
    • Yeah very valid point. I am waiting for one of the other tuners to come back from vacation so he can help me a bit when the cat is installed again. In the meantime I am going to finish up my polishing and ceramic coating that I have started myself.    N45 Dr Beasley product is highly recommended for a paint primer / polisher. Using this EXO Gtechniq also for the ceramic but next time might use the light serum before hand also. Looks great.
