waiting on a reply from cj motors off ns.

they say they have bride type rx rails in stock and genuine for 279 each.

so once i get a price for freight and confirmation of stock on hand ill be ordering a pair from them i think.

was gonna get the grizzly imports power rails. but they wont send me a pic of the actual rail just the generic pic they have online.

and its not the right rail so i dont trust em. rather pay the extra money for somethin i know will be the right stuff

so got laurel back from boostworx. didnt make the power i was hoping for but apparently there is a restriction believed to be my supposedly high flow cat..

its makes awesome mid range power (it made an extra 45kw through the mid range) on 15.5psi but drops down to about 13psi up top because of the restriction leading to a total figure of 174.3.

next step is decat pipe and some new coil packs as they show signs of arching out.

overal very happy with it now. drives a shit load better off boost and comes onto boost quicker and harder. :)

heres a pic of the dyno graph.

gap is set to 0.7 currently.

havent given it a full bootful yet. but from 4000rpm it really moves quite quickly up to 6000rpm and speedo starts tickin over quite quick haha.

at 3000rpm its makin about 8psi on full throttle in 3rd gear. but had to back off for traffic.

yeah but you gotta do what you gotta do.

if it turns out to be my car causing the issue ill get a new proper high flow cat.

it is good fun, but i want 200 haha.

bride rails rocked up today, i missed the courier though. will be ringing them tomorrow to see if i can get them delivered to work.

so i tried to organise to get the courier to deliver the rails to my work..... apparently this isnt possible because they dont have authority to do this.

even though i gave them my name address and the tracking number.

anyways i went and picked the up. 35min drive. each way. ohwells.

and finally installed!!

they are low. not excessively and seem to be on a sloping rail. the closer to the wheel you sit the higher it gets haha.

handy if any short people drive it i spose.

sorry bout the shit pictures. camera phone plus literally just finished bolting them in haha.

LOL yeah I'm in the US and they are everywhere here, I'm actually just gonna make my own so they can sit lower since I'm 6'7, not that hard to make.

I have a set from a friend but just haven't gotten around to mocking them up yet.

The stock seat are pretty comfy so far so they are just on the back burner while I take care of the other things on my list.

Thanks for the look out anyway!

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
