Manuel Kasko Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Hey So the day started at 8am at DVS JEZ's workshop with fitting the injectors, fuel pump and chucking some new spark plugs in. After spending an hour or so we couldn't work out why my HKS 700cc injectors were holding back the tune. I googled for a while and then found out in fact I was actually sold 555cc injectors. So the tuning starts again. We then found that the actuator Stao provides with his SS1PU's is a 20psi actuator haha so no less then that for me. Tuning away again all of a sudden the boost dropped off to 12 psi and the turbo starts working overtime. Checked the hosing and found that one of the joiners had actually split so DVS was nice enough to cut up a pipe and weld a new joiner. We then got some well awaited results and she managed to pull a respectable 250rwkw before it pinged. I told DVS to back the tune off to a safe level because I already was worried about running 20psi through it. After 13 hours on a Sunday spent dropping injector rings into the abyss and everything that can go wrong going wrong we were done!

Manuel Kasko Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 She drives great on and off boost! Slips in 4th and 5th sometimes do I will have to bleed the clutch and see how it goes Otherwise I'm up for a new clutch haha That's the next step in the process Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/395980-my-tune-results/#findComment-6290769 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rondofj Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Is it a big diff from stock turbo haha, clutch i think theres a place in penrith thats cheap n got a good rep Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/395980-my-tune-results/#findComment-6290777 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuel Kasko Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 Clutch ill take the time and just do it myself in the coming months depending on how it slips. Only happened 2x Lol it's a totally new car to drive man Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/395980-my-tune-results/#findComment-6290813 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitcho_7 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 (edited) Everything always takes about twice as long as its initially expected to, this much I have learned owning a skyline and doing most of the work yourself.. Great result considering the boost issues though!

Manuel Kasko Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 Okay guys I will post up in here so everyone can get an idea. So the costs were. Injectors - $650 Intake - $250 Pump - $200 Turbo - $1600 R32 ECU - $100 Window Switch - $100 (controls Cam timing because 32 ecu cant) Nistune Chip - $250 Z32 AFM - $130 Tune - $650 Extra pipes etc - $150 Total = $4080 give or take a few hundred wasted on stupid things Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/395980-my-tune-results/#findComment-6292202 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trozzle Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Mother f**ker lol. For those of you chasing a fantastic street setup - do what Kasko has done. For those of you wishing to see what money looks like when you add a source of ignition, ie a flame - do what I did Off the top of my head, prices not 100% accurate: Turbo - $1480 Dump/front pipe - $190 Injectors - $1200 Fuel pump - $190 Coilpacks - $520 ECU - $1850 misc (includes intake pipe, exhaust mods, catch can, all installations of parts supplied, gaskets and misc parts, lots and lots and lots of f**king around, and tune) - roughly $4000 rough total - $9430 hmmm. However my setup is good to crack well into the low 300kw depending on how happy the dyno is hahaha. I'm slightly jealous of Kasko, mostly because of how cheap his setup was compared to mine....but also slightly because of how fun it must be to drive Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/395980-my-tune-results/#findComment-6292264 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuel Kasko Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 But you have to look at this as well Troy Car came with splitfires and a full 3.5" straight through setup. Fun to drive haha this thing is insane to drive Once I get the Slight clutch slip sorted it will have no problem cherping 2nd Also Troy I tested out your theory about controlling boost with your right foot and I think in a week or so I will have it down Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/395980-my-tune-results/#findComment-6292293 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitcho_7 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Trozzle, what ecu are you using? Must be a haltech or something similar at that price! I have a similar list of parts to kasko + a clutch on top and price wise its pretty similar. However, I haven't started putting things in yet Or had a tune so the budget could easily blow out...

I can guarantee there's a noticeable difference between how our cars lay down power though, I'd like to see which I like more Unfortunately though, the 2 things I had to buy that you didn't are some of the "cheaper" parts And yeah you'll learn to control boost with your right foot. Whether you'll give a shit about doing it or not is another thing trust me, if you had a high/low boost setup, you'd never use low boost anyway Trozzle, what ecu are you using? Must be a haltech or something similar at that price! I have a similar list of parts to kasko + a clutch on top and price wise its pretty similar. However, I haven't started putting things in yet Or had a tune so the budget could easily blow out... I'm running the ViPEC v44 plug n play heh, hence the price and lack of "z32 AFM" in my purchases.

Mitcho_7 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Yeh, Kasko also would have had the fmic and the ebc prior to doing the most recent mods, so if your starting from scratch the cost of those should also be factored in I guess...

Trozzle Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Ultimately the cost from stock to 250kw should come to around $7000 not counting any major hiccups, and assuming you either get cheap labour or can do a fair bit yourself.

D.I.Y. Mik Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Man... You guys forget all those little things.. some arent cheap. Ive recently spent about a grand just on boost control, gauges and a few other things like a catch can and hoses n sht. think of al the tiny thing like cable ties, tape, connectors, heatwrap, hoseclamps, sprays etc etc. And dont forget the exe stuff thats not engine related like suspension Unless your car is really stock, its had heaps of cash spent on it. But like the teacher says at the start of that Twised Sister video "What are you gonna do with your life!" Good build dude.
