Osiris is good for whatever you can get a AFM to read. Has been used on cars with over 1000hp (USA)

With an AFM upgrade it will do everything that the HKS kit will do on a std motor. Without boost control, you dont even need to upgrade the stock AFM.

Also HKS FCon is available.

got most shit sorted plugs etc.

thinking about using royal purple oil and filter. its not cheap but is it worth it?

also turbo timer HKS or Apexi?

any recoms on electronic boost controller?

what about deleting the cat?

cheers :no:

Go Motul 300v or NEO. Both are better than RP.

No turbo timer - not required. Just drive comfortably for the last block or two before you get to your destination

EBC - HKS EVC, Blitz IBC or Greddy Profec B.

Why delete the cat? Just get a high flowing cat. If it is the HKS turbo kit, leave the cat as is.

Definitely aim to keep some kind of catalytic converter in the vehicle to at least keep it street legal. There's no point in having a nice performance car if it gets taken off the road for failing emissions tests in random inspections. It's way more hassle than its worth.

Cheers, then shakes head no? *confused*

anyway- what injectors are you using? Did you get a real ECU solution?

Royal Purple is fine, its in my car atm, but as iamhe said - there are better oils again. Buy filters from nissan

As has been said- no need for turbo timer, your expert friend should know that. turbo is oil and water cooled and as long as you dont flog it and turn it off right away will be fine.

Use a simple manual boost controller, unless you like spending 4-600 on something fancy. It'll do the job, but you'll just lose 1.5psi in the top range. nothing bad.

Kit comes with a high flow HKS cat unless you didn't get it. Suggest you use it.

if u get the utec hen it comes with optional boost controller and u cna program 5 different maps and change with press of a button..

As for oil, go on g35 driver and search, for FI most use Mobil 1 or Shell Rotella Syn T

RP is expensive and doesnt like our engines...

If you have a mongoose alarm most have turbo timer func built in you can program. If not then dont worry about it, just drive it slow before you get home and let it cool down..

cheers for the help guys,i know i dont need the t/t but was trying to be cautious.

undecided about ecu got a couple of weeks to sort it out before install

surprised to hear that about royal purple my mates swear by it but then again they drive commodores lol

also im missing one of the centre caps from my LMGT4 rims they are two piece with the outer one a threaded plastic cap you can see them in the picture. Any idea where i can buy one or is it easier just to buy a new set in a different style? cheers

exhaust manifolds and front end off, new manifolds and turbo on!

the bloody heat shields were the biggest pain took an hour to get each one off!!!

only a bees dick of room for the turbo didnt think it would fit for a mo!

intercooler next :yes:

    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
    • The old approach was to fill the cylinder/chamber with a length of rope pushed in through the sparkplug hole. The new approach is to connect compressed air to the sparkplug hole and fill it with enough pressure to push the valves up. Doing either of these things with the head on and the engine in the car is a lot less pleasant than doing it properly.
    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
