Installed my whiteline swaybars + bushings, hardrace camber arms & BC Coilovers. Put on new wheels. Volk Ray GTCs 20x10.5 + 18 front + rear. I'm thinking it needs to be slightly lower with a lit

did some electrical work on the weekend - always so time consuming because I've learnt the hard way over the years that taking shortcuts and rushing the job will always cause headaches down the track. So i spent two days installing my reverse camera, and installing the amp. See pics below:

1. Alpine PDX-V9 - this is a 5ch amp that will run my entire system. It has 4x100wrms and 1x500wrms but birth sheet shows a fair bit higher numbers. It should pack a punch. But not only that, it's smaller and about half the weight of the mono block it replaces. I love it. I mounted it under the floor for a clean stealthy install. Took the TV tuner and mounted it where the Bose amp used to be, and put the Alpine where the TV Tuner used to be. Used all stock brackets, no cutting or drilling - so 100% reversible (the best kind of mod).

2. Even though it's a digital amp and runs a lot cooler than a traditional A/B amp - it's still a very enclosed location. Decided to install a little 12V computer cooling fan to extract heat from that compartment into the spare wheel cavity. It's hooked up to the remote wire so it comes on whenever the amp is on. Had to cut a hole in the plastic trim - but I reckon it looks pretty sweet and functional.

3. All hidden away from prying eyes and protected from flying boot fodder. . Maximum boot space. That's a win in my books!

(ignore spider grill thing - came with the car, and ironic because i'm hyper arachnophobic - that will be going once i decide on a new sub).

R6n350GT :

When you go for the dyno, do a run with and without the plenum spacer in. I did a test on my car and actually lost 3-5 kw through the mid range with the spacer in at 6psi. Spacers are designed for NA cars, I'm not sure they provide a benefit when turbod. Test it out.

I will do, wonder if i even have the old shorter bolts.. ? can i use longer bolts still ?

I thought g35driver had done dynos showing good for FI?

Cant wait to get it done !!

Turbo be arriving this week so its getting closer :)

Need to find guy that does custom piping in goldcoast

Yeah, I got told it was good for Fi too, bought one, and installed it on the dyno. Didn't gain shit, lost power.

You might be able to use those bolts, but you'll need to find some bolts for the middle 6.

What's the plan? Gt35 or t51?

Nice.

will be interesting, but surprised you didn't go to a T3 housing. I think the 1.12 housing in the kit is T2 isn't it?

i was talking to scotty about that, seemed there would be alot of fab work changing adapters, making room etc and didnt want to risk it not fitting :/

There would be.

At the end of the day - it has a 60mm gate for excess pressure, and should have enough flow to keep the GT35 spinning at a decent rate.

Dyno graph when done please :)

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
