Need abit of help choosing the right gear for my motor!

Its a RB30e r31 motor with roughly 140,000 kms on the clock

im after a turbo that would be appropriate for drifting , not after a lag monster, but nothing to small? possibly only want to run 14psi max im guessing for a standard motor with a new headgasket?

Also would i get away with drifting using a rb30 gearbox? or should i try and chase up a rb25 box or VL turbo box?

And would it be worth throwing a cam in it?

Sorry in advance if this isn't the correct forum for my questions, and thanks to anyone who has help on this topic!

cheers,

I have a 25 neodet motor coming my way next week >.> it only comes with a engine loom and computer, if i wire up a push button start system, with battery and indevidual fuel pump switch, should i be able to start the motor with just the wiring that goes with the engine??

Yes, but you will have some fault codes. TCS/ABS at the very least. If you do not have the (ECU, not dash) boost sensor plugged into the engine loom, then a code for that too.

No. Not that simple. Boost sensor is easy. TCS system is a whole 'nother story. The TCS system has its own computer that reads the wheel speed sensors and actuates the TCS throttle butterfly (upstream of the engine's normal throttle). The TCS butterfly has a position sensor on it.

When you start the R34 engine up, the engine ECU looks to see if the TCS system drives the TCS butterfly closed then open (start up self check). If it does not see that, it raises a code. Also, if the TCS computer is not present, then the ECU will raise a fault code because of the comms failure. You can only have it all work if you have a functioning TCS computer, which will probably raise fault codes of it's own if you don't have all the wheel speed sensors etc.

You can use a Nistuned ECU with a Stagea image in it (no TCS in Stageas) but my recent experience with doing so is that the automatic transmission Stagea images that are available cause driveability problems with manual Neo cars.

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
