So, car is getting dropped off to Jez this coming Saturday. Needless to say I'm pretty keen.

Brief run down, Xspurt 1000cc, Walbro fuel pump, Z32 AFM. I was originally planning to fit a Hypergear SS2, but decided the slight power increase wasn't worth the coin. Plus I really enjoy the responsiveness of the current high flow that is fitted. Hypergear rates them to ~260rwkw which should still be nice and fun.

After discussions I have also opted to change from the PowerFC to a Nistune. There is something else worth mentioning here, but I'll wait until it's done, unless someone can guess :ninja:

A friend at the hill climbs also finally posted up the video of my "tyre warmup procedure" haha.

Haha, nice :laugh: .

At the Hillclimb I did, you were only permitted to 'clean the tyres', and you got kicked off for 'doing a burnout' :closedeyes: .

Whats the difference? :rolleyes:

^^ This. Lol.

That video was on my last run but I had done pretty much the same the last run. My 'warmups' gradually got bigger each time haha.

So the car has been with Jez since last Saturday, and I am picking it up this coming Saturday.

Battery has been relocated to the boot.

New intake piping has been made up.

Injectors, fuel pump (direct feed wired up), and Z32 AFM have all been installed.

Nistune board is installed in the stock ECU and the car is on the dyno today with a fresh set of plugs and a new fuel filter :D

Ok guys car came off the dyno yesterday afternoon.

I'm pretty happy with the results. Peak power was 238.5rwkw at 18.6psi dropping to 16.2psi. The turbo was literally running out of puff and couldn't push anymore power, which is evident by the fact it made 237.4rwkw at 16psi haha. The car also made 203.8rwkw at 10psi, which is the same power it was making when the original owner tuned the car with the stock turbo at 15psi lol. The car also made 610nm of torque which I was surprised about and pretty damn happy with.

Cheers guys.

Good results but I thought Stao said his new highflows made way more power than that.

Is this an older version or something Timmy?

I have owned the the car for roughly 2 years and the high flow was done 6 months prior to me purchasing the car.

When I messaged Stao he suggested it would be good for up to 260rwkw as we are under the assumption that it was the original OP6 turbo that was high flowed and refitted, I have nothing to confirm this though unfortunately. Jez said he recently tuned an OP6 high flow in a car running United 100 octane to 270rwkw so they are obviously capable. Being in the dark with the turbo it's hard to know. I was hoping to hit the 250kw mark, but it is still a responsive 240kw and has more torque than I was expecting, which will be more important for me really with entering NSW Hill Climb Champs next year :)

So, picked up the car on Saturday, pretty happy with how it performs, nice and responsive, sounds much nicer and has a bit of a rough sounding idle which is cool. Also, most high rpm gear shifts pop and sometimes shoot flames lol.

Anyway, after the 9 hour round trip to get my car, the inevitable happened once I got home.

For the first time ever, I was pulled over for a "random" vehicle inspection :(

The cops were from Armidale, being all the way out here because it was the Bathurst race weekend.

Luckily I received no fines, apparently because of my good attitude, but the car was defected for unenclosed pod, too low, and wheels protruding from the guards. Anyway, now I have 14 days (minus 2) to get the car to pass a full inspection/blueslip. Best/worst birthday lol. Happy times :'(

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
