The Fmic that I have has press bends on the piping.

It isn't like bad press bends it is hardly noticible.

If I'm KW chasing do you think it is worth buying 4 90 degree bend mandrels (3 on inlet, 2 on outlet)?

Or would this only help with boost response and lag?

Lag is hardly noticible now with the EBC but it is still there..

I had a look at some of those silicon bends and i think this smiley says it all

:eek::eek: :eek: :eek:

hehe yer..

Turbo fund that keeps getting spent on other things.. :)

Almost had all of the money then i went and upgraded the comp now i'm getting close again and i'm starting to think about suspension.

I'm waiting from a few ppls on a $$ for the GT25 400hp..

Actually on that topic i went to Turbo Tune in Adelaide and they seem to think the GT25 400HP will flow enough to make a good 180rwkw.. I said what.. 180rwkw.. I want more than that.

hrmm.. All i want is to be able to overpower grip in second gear any time.. :burnout: :burnout: :burnout: :burnout:

Same... I'd like to nudge over the 200rwkw mark and POssibly be able to run high 12's with a lowish tyre pressure if need be using the 225'50's.

The Simex that I run at the moment give unbelievable grip.

First gear hardly spins up.. but if i click second a little to quick she still tries to snaky second.

I might be pushing it though I figure that if whatsisname can run 13.1 1/4 2.1 60ft using 216rwkw I should be able to do it with a slightly better 60ft time and a little less power due to less weight.

I hope.

I thought a little about a VG30 turbo as that can get damn close to 200rwkw with adj. cam gears etc BUT.. Reliability of the turbo comes to mind as at the moment I can't afford to waste 500 on a turbo that blows up later on down the track.

Also everywhere i go they say to inspect the turbo as if it is a dud they wont exhange/return it. :) That is the Killer..

I need the turbo to have no problems as I'm going to uni for the next couple of years.. I defered this year...

Tim has suggested that the GT25 that he is able to get which is $1400 will just make 200rwkw with it running out of breath a little up top. but 200rwkw is 200rwkw.

I've got him looking in to a slightly bigger gt25 which should make just over 200rwkw which then i will be happy.. well on paper at least :D

Your Avtar looks nice..

Its a very nice looking 32 Adam.. :)

I'm waiting to see how Clint32's Turns out. :)

Hopefully he doesn't take tooooo long :D

The T04e is an option apart from the fact of having to buy a wastegate etc.. which bumps the price closer and closer to a new turbo that bolts on with an adapter plate..

hrmm.. If it turns out good though i might look at it.

also how have you got 100 more posts than my self.

I log on every day post like crazy (don't post whore but) and still 100 behind you.. :)

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
