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

  • 2 weeks later...

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:

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
