Its making about 300kw atm but it should be making more.... gonna change a few things, turn the boost up and hopefully get some more killerwasps.

Fkn love EC, cant wait to get out there again. Hopefully it isnt too long till they sort all this crap out and we can get out there again.

Ohh and since the last update I have also added a set of BC BR coilovers and some DBA Club spec slotted rotors and project mu pads. Makes a world of difference.

Also just ordered a set of Bride Vios III seats and rails which should be here anyday. Now all thats left for me is to put a cage in, swaybars, get more steering lock and then do some cosmetics.

Im thinking of doing a 34 GTR front end conversion and 33 GTR rear overfenders.

Yeah I thought they looked weird as well when I put them in but then I sat in them and they are perfect. The rails were made to sit the seats as low as possible...both the front and back of them are as low as you can get them before hitting the floor.. and it still feels a bit high. I've got clearance for my head with a helmet but I think I'm gonna struggle to fit the front legs on the cage and still have room for my head.

not much to update really.... went drifting on the weekend in 36 degree heat... had to do a cooldown lap every few laps to stop it overheating.

Was having a few dramas with the power steering overheating as well.

That said I was one of the few cars that was still drivable untill the end of the day.

Next few things to do are:

- Subframe mods (Solid flush bushes to raise it and welded reinforcements to make it stronger)

- Power steering cooler.

- Soon ill have to start the dreaded job of sound deadening removal in preparation for the cage.

Ill keep you guys updated as things happen...

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Yea that's a fair assumption. I'm presuming they call them solid lifters as they have no moving parts like hydro lifters.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I believe you're confusing WMI with water injection. Looking at that graph, the 93aki+WMI car is making more power than C16 race gas. Boost juice, which is what I also run, is Snow Performances 50/50 premix.

      GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.

      Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣

      I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
