Added to that, I have seen a few of the stock bleeder points fail, one snapped the plastic pipe off and a few with the Phillips head stripped. Using alloy for the body and a steel ball valve it should hopefully be a more reliable option for that too.

The upgrade turbo, a GTX3076 has been tuned today, I'm very pleased with how it's driving now and no issues to report.

My stock VQ25det with ARP L19 head studs managed 350kw at around 24psi on a safe track tune. Hopefully I can get a good time at Sandown next Saturday, fingers crossed. I just got some sticky 245 Advan AO48's to help me grip, should be a great day. :)

Spectators are welcome by the way. ;)

Shaft was out, it would have made more if the dyno wasn't speed limited as power was still climbing. It still had another 1000 revs to go.

Not much laggier but it feels much punchier with the more efficient stall converter. Hopefully I can get the stock trans ecu to lock it up now.

The spiking was due to fuel surge I think, lean pops in the exhaust causing the turbo to spool to 3 bar even with the wastegate wide open. I will have to look at a new fuel system, probably a 20L surge tank in the spare wheel well with a 416L Walbro like yours.

20lt is a bit extreme isnt it...What if you were to mount a small (2lt or so) surge tank inside your fuel tank...maybe in the passenger side hole

I'm gunna have to ditch my twin pipe too mate, its smacking the chassis bad now, I tried to fix it but made think I made it worse...you happy now :P

like i said. a good stainless steel one custom for the boot space. im sure your skilled enough to make a drop in tank pump holder which would be plenty for a surge.. the extra 40-50 litres would be INSANE!

Realist mate, have you even looked under there yet? :)

So happy with the end result Scotty, or still a little left in it?

Very happy, its just running off the gate spring at the moment, plenty more in it if I lean on the controller. Not sure I need more. lol.

It's a conservative track tune, should be good to see what time it can do around Sandown. 1800kg it weighed in at so i'm not expecting supercar times.

Scott, have you asked to have the dyno setting remain the same from one tune to the next?

Getting a bit ridiculous that the settings change every time and gives little to no reference for the power readout.

They need to change to some extent, as the weather, temps and pressure changes. (this tune was at .85 correction or something.) Truthfully I don't care, I just want a good, strong tune ready for Sandown.

Hopefully I can stop fiddling for a while now so it doesn't need tuning again. With the hard life this engine has had I can't believe it hasn't thrown a rod. Time to enjoy driving it... while it lasts. :)

Nice work! Inspired by this thread!

Could you please tell, or show thread, what controlled the ignition and fuel before the F-con? i've read about e-manage, was it equipped with another AFM? do you run just MAP or MAF also?

more info on ECU side. please!

FYI, VQ30DET also have cooling mod parts for VQ25DET, ready-to-install, same as pathfinder's, may be it will help in looking for this parts)

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
