OK. SO I have been using 300V on my E85 fueled GTR for the past 15 or so months. I had a oil pump failure which practically destroyed the head, however the bottom end survived (A quick polish of the crank and its good to go). After pulling the engine down last weekend some of the big end bearings STILL looked like they had just come out of the boxes. I will take some photo's when I get the chance. I would have loved to pull it down before the shitty pump failure. That engine was 7 years old with 32,000 Kms on it most of its life up around 400 RWKW with upto 2 bar shoved down its throat. However it wasn't revved past 8000 RPM all that much (But was driven hard). It also didnt breathe any oil into my catchcan.

After seeing that and hearing all these stories ranging from 'Your engine is going to die within 200 kms' to 'the oil will turn to jelly if left longer than a day in the sump', I won't be changing after its rebuilt!

300 V FTW!

Were you using the 300v chrono or competition ?..also what pump was it that failed .

i know of certain pump that have had nuts put through them, ate it up and spat it out it did....should have got one of those ones :rofl: bahahaha

I still except no responsibility :nyaanyaa:

LOL!

You proberbly saved the bottem end driving it like a nanna. Thanks mate. :cheers:

You should post this in the oil thread, guys seem to think how their car "feels" when they drive it is a better metric than oil analysis when comparing oils.

your fulla shit Rolls, nobody said it was a better than an oil analysis..all that was said is that some of us could notice a difference in the way the car drove with different types of oil..

Anyway, haven't you got a broken camshaft to fix :whistling:

So it wasnt u driving when it happened Paul? Maybe the nanna driving caused it.

Sorry to hear. When does ur new head arrive

LOL. That's why it broke.... it was being driven like a fairy! Thanks Joey :nyaanyaa:.

Not sure. It made it to HKS but the guy doing it wanted a bee's dick more out of somewhere..... so it went back to NAPREC. :( Sigh.

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
