Well its been a while since I posted as have been busy with life in general. As some might remember I posted last year in regards to my Cefiro import which was making around 306rwhp from its RB20DET engine. Well that engine had chosen to expire after 2 injectors failed. Week later replacement engine was in but only cranked over 297rwhp, so i decided to break it in an attempt to get 300+ again(at $500 an engine not such an issue). Well it broke.

Had a sit down and thought, what do I want from this car, lots of power and more response?(RB20's are horribly laggy). So I went for the plunge and installed an RB26DETT from an R33 GT-R. This required some custom work in regards to the sump(now running an 8L sump as oposed to standard 4L).

While more costly in the long run I have alot more power potential. On friday it went onto the rollers to finally get tuned(was off the road since January) and it layed down a rather nice 417.3rwhp @ 1bar boost(14.2psi) with over 1600ft-lbs of torque at 1 stage(will scan dyno sheet sooner or later). The setup isnt to laggy either with peak boost forming at around 4,500rpm and a nice broad spread of power from 5000rpm to around 7750rpm.

This tune is a safe setup due to the stock internals and with more timing I believe even at 1 bar there is still more potential in it.

List of mods to engine are:

RB26DETT from R33 GT-R

Nismo cams(256 or 264 we are unsure but give a very nice idle)

HKS adjustable cam gears

Nismo fuel pressure regulator

Larger Hybrid Intercooler

Custom turbos(equivilant to hi flo 2540's, these have run over 2bar before and still made power on previous owners car)

HKS Dump pipes

twin 3" exhaust

Wolf3d V4 ecu tuned for MAP table

600cc nismo injectors

Custom Fuel Sump

There are other mods such as Twin plate OS clutch and VLT Box aswell as custom tailshaft.

Overall i'm very happy with the results and once my Forged rods(Pauter) and some forged pistons(ares more likely still undecided) go in i plan to fit another fuel pump(depending if I went 044 or 040 1st time round cant remember) and wind up the boost :)

HUGE thanks has to go to Fabs of Extreme Autosport for putting up with not only doing the work on my car but my constant questions, phone calls and changing of mind. Also to Anthony(ND4SPD) and Steve(SST_Steve) with the tuning and other information I have required when Fabs was busy.

Some pictures can be found at http://summoner.perthstreetcars.net/Cefiro/ most of them are older pics of the car but there are some work in progress happy snaps.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
