Finally got through your thread Paul!! There is so much sh*t talk in here....

I think my SR is the engine that finally converted Paul to going to the dark side with a single.

Here is an overlay of my car (black dots) over Paul's graph. I'm running same boost in the midrange but mine doesn't fall over up top. Both are on Yavuz's dyno. Somehow I don't think its the engine alone (it is a built and stroked VE sr) and the turbo has a lot to do with it (6262).

Pretty interesting it made more power down low and also more up top with some losses in the midrange.

Yavuz wanted to keep going, adding more boost but I reckon that is more than enough.

Also, FWIW and those interested in buying a manifold, I had a extremely ordinary service and product experience with Alpha Omega....

pretty interesting. It would have been interesting to see how far you could have gotten to with the boost, but like you said, thats pretty ample for a sil! I have seen the graph, and for a turbo of its frame and capacity, it almost makes you wonder how it does it. I have also jumped onto the PT bandwagon, cant wait too see the results :)

Hi James - you are very quick around the creek (1.39.6) & wakefield (1.04.07) with < 300kw

Must be a weapon of a car!

Thanks Marko. Its definitely 'interesting' to drive even with the old 265. Still haven't got to drive it since the new engine, its just a dyno figure at this stage!! Just have some niggly issues I want to get right before I get it properly tuned.

Don't to clog up Pauls thread. Build thread is here if you're interested - http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=520202

I agree. I thought it would be quite a bit laggier. I was a bit worried it might not really come on until 4200-4500. The precisions aren't really good quality though... I don't have much faith in it lasting... The casting and bearing and general fit and finish is a bit average but we'll see how long it lasts. I'm not expecting much though to be honest. The wheels are just so much better than garrett though its just too hard to ignore.

Time will tell James. There was a hell of a lot of PT's at WTAC and I didn't hear of any failures.

But surprised they're not watercooled though. Must be some reason for that!

yeah. Interesting about the lack of water cooling on these turbos. But then again, they were around for a looooong time without it too. A random stab may be to keep it in a particular heat range to get the best out of it. Ive seen and heard of weirder things lol

A little update.

Got the engine back on Friday arvo. Can't get some of the pics to work. Stupid things.

Turbo's are almost done. Just need to do the drains and the top lines. I stopped because the sun was burning me! haha

Slack! Definitely starting to come together.

As mentioned in PM very keen to see the overlays from the twins to the single PTE

Oh there will be graphs, when I don't know. After being off the road for so long I want to enjoy it for a while. I'll cant help to think I've gone a bee's dick big. There will be a 6262 thrown on and tried too at some point.

duno if i missed it some where but what Tomei stroker kit is it? (cooling chanel? tiatan coating? normal kit?)

and are you running this on pump fuel?

Tomei 2.8

Non cooling channel. Had 2 thou clearances the last engine and never had issues.

Top ring is Ti coated. (last engine had a standard Tomei top ring).

I have the "flex fuel setup". So when I'm belting it, it will have E85 in it. On the street it will have anything between E85 and PULP.

Cheers mate, i was looking into the kits last night coz i think it will be easier to just chuck in a 2.8 crank rods and pistons into my engine already as thats all id need to change instaed of going 3L.

you can re use the existing head studs and all that stuff right? just need new head gasket and bearings?

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
