i had more of a look at the manifold and noticed it has some extra welding in some places so not sure if it has been modified in any way.

looking at the graph the boost drop is around 1.2psi or so.. i mean is that a bad drop in boost compared to what others have seen out there?

and when you say it could be a badly setup boost controller is this caused by long vacuum lines?

1psi isnt bad at all.

Our race car engine drops about 4psi after 4800.

Its all easily fixed by having a good electronic boost controller that is configured to help maintain the desired boost pressure which can be a little fiddly to setup properly at times. So long as the mechanical side is spec'd and operating correctly then there is no reason it shouldnt be maintaining target pressure.

hey guys,

i got the motor back together and the car is now at JEM getting a E85 tune.

what ive done is;

replaced crank and bearings (ACL's)

balanced balancer, crank, flywheel, pressure plate

Ross harmonic balancer

checked head stud tensions

new timing pulley

new intake gasket

new turbo manifold gasket

New HKS intake camshaft

Used VCT intake cam gear

decat pipe

external to atmosphere

E boost2 controller

NPC custom single plate clutch

shortened intercooler pipes

relocated blow off valve

new tensionors timing belt

Id1000cc injectors

2x bosch 044 fuel pumps

4 litre surge tank

Dash 8 fuel supply line

let see what this little GT35R with the 0.82 hotside can pump out on E85..

It's most likely due to 250rpm increments it's looks more wavey than normal 500rpm increment

nah mine plots every 50rpm and that sine type wave is an issue with boost controller or boost control plumbing to gate. Blitz boost controolers do that if it is just clipping the overboost setting.

generally spikes in solenoid duty cycle cause it..

after weeks sitting in there shop now they tell me the head needs to come off to be line honed..

surely they could see on the old cam shaft was damaged when they first took it out over a week ago.......

anyways im not happy at the moment

whoever built this motor has put a bearing at the front on the inlet camshaft, which the clearances where not 100% correct & the VCT gear was loose on the camshaft dowe also.

so we put a HKS drop in camshaft on the intake side and new VCT gear, we had the NEW camshaft machined to suit the front bearing modification that was done.

as they were installing new camshaft they noticed that the camshaft was tight around cap number 3 and said it needs to be line honed which means head offf :(

i went down there today straight from work and im hoping a nice polish on the cam cap etc should loosing it up enough to get the correct clearances.

dont wanna sound like a noob but what clearances are recommended just so i can double check there work?

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
