Overnights parts from Japan

This is a Xmas Present from the Wifey. So probably won't be putting them on until then!

These are Quest LED lights (Nismo style)

Got these through a fellow SAU forum member elrodeo666. Good price, quick and easy to deal with! Would recommend!

And a pic from the weekend. Estblshd & PAC Paul Walker Charity Meet

Came up real nice :thumbsup:

Are you going to get a gtr reo to see if that closes up the bonnet-bar gap?

…keen to see if it does so I can then do the same!

Yup have already ordered the GTR reo from Japan should arrive in Jan, and fingers crossed fitted late Jan/early Feb

Also fingers crossed I have time to fit this on in the next few weeks.

It's a ATR45 turbo that is the same specs as a 3582 from a XR6 Turbo. Should solve my turbo restriction issues

1483322-779148325432862-384697661-n-7791

Just read through this, massive transformation, looks great! Still planning on tracking it?

Yup thats still the plan. Fingers crossed can track it for the full 2014 year

Things to go on within the next two weeks:

1. 3582 Turbo

2. Better intercooler piping bend

3. Shave off a bit of the suspension arm so I can fit my hankook rs3

4. Try and fix rubber heater hoses that are touching the manifold

5. Oil cooler + thermostat

Then will just need to look at a some suspension maintenance and a wheel alignment and the she should be set!

So in for a tune on the new turbo.

But there is an underlying problem with the car. At this stage it may be the injectors. So we are going to pull them out and flow test them

In coming to this analysis we switched to e85 fuel, so will probably just stick with e85 fuel.

At this stage the car makes 315rwkw at 4,500 rpm. Trent thinks it will get close to 400rwkw once the issue is fixed.

TBH 400rwkw seems way to much power for me to handle. So will see how it goes!

Didn't build anything on the weekend

Just got a car wash so its slipperier through the air and faster on the straights :ninja:

You really do love your car...

Just a more detailed post of the tune day:

Picture of the dyno, you can sort of see the dyno graph in the rear. Graph stops at 4,500 rpm

So something was stopping the car from making power and taking timing on the day.

At first suspect cam timing or compression. But checked cam timing on the dyno, and did a compression test. ~175psi across all cylinders.

Spark plugs changed. Dropped the exhaust. But made no difference. Still stuggling to make more than 310rwkw

So Trent tried a run on e85 but it still had the same issue. Car only took about 12 degrees of timing normally about 20. Only bumped up power to 315rwkw @ 4,500rpm

It is a suspected faulty injector so off to get it checked.

Pulled the injectors out this morning. As we have a suspected faulty injector. A simple quick test shows they seem to be ok. But will be sent away for a more detailed analysis

In prep for the Dyno. Scotty @ Scotty Customs did:

  • Turbo install
  • New fuel pump Walbro 460L/H
  • Metal turbo elbow, as a silicone one was a bit close to the manifold
  • New Return flow intercooler bend. As the old one was quite crap

Things to do over the next month:

1. Fix issue with car that is holding it back

2. Fix heater hoses touching manifold

3. Fit oil cooler

Tony. Get some steel zip ties for the heater hoses. Good shit

I don't think zip ties would work here. I think braided lines will need to be made and run it over the engine.

just realised you may be one of the only 300kw+ R34's to be using stock intake and airbox lol what a monster

Hrmmm Im sure there would be many out there!

Might need to do a sneaky mod and cut the bottom of the airbox and fit a pod with another intake down the track if it ever becomes a restriction

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
