Ok, that's sort of what i was thinking but wanted confirmation. So my only real choice is to fork out heaps of $$ for a FFp and new throttle body and the dramas that come with fitting one i am guessin

Yeh they do, but think I would rarher get a new turbo first

Good plan! As for fabbing up a FFP, there was one just posted recently in the Build Thread section, i think it was the 2 guys with the 32, go have a look and get some feedback from them?

Its a bit of a vicious circle, to get to 300 kw I will need a new turbo, then probably need a hi mount exhaust manifold, then because of that rework the intake pipework. Just have to work out the best order to buy it all in so I can keep adding to the setup as I go.

To get 300kw you will need a turbo that will do the job, to get 300kw you will NOT need a hi mount exhaust manifold... You can just run the setup like many have in the past!

Be nice if I didnt have to, looking at getting a hypergear ATR43 SS2 BUT Stao said 280kw is the max from standard ex manifold and internal gate.

So run a bigger turbo on the standard manifold and external gate? I know the Kando boys etc were doing it in that thread? I am sure you can make 300kw low mounted! AND if you want to go aftermarket manifold you will find mobs like 6Boost and Brae make low mount manifolds too (Look at ANGRYRBGTX build thread)... But once again if you dont want to spend $1000 on an intake plenum then I assume you wont want too on an Exhaust manifold either?

It's reaching the limits of the stock exhaust manifold... On 98 at least... ;)

Not that you would notice 20kw less.

I was waiting for you too chime in ;) Fair enough hehe

Well if I go exhaust manifold I will definately see a big improvement for money spent wheras it may not be so significant or needed to for the plenum to hit my goal of 300kw.

Not saying I wont put a FFP on, just need to prioritize my purchases.

dunno what GTS kid just said but look at the GTR, those clever little engineers at Nissan designed the forward facing plenum and that didn't cause "uneven air distribution" as he described.

I agree don't chop it tho, leave it or get a good greddy copy instead

RB26 and RB25 plenums are totally different, if you see on the RB25 there are guides that channel the air from the side into each cylinder, where as a RB26 doesn't have that.

GTS has a very valid point & reason.

My 2cents, people who chop stock plenums are morons.

Both the ffp and aftermarket exhaust manifold will see you defected instantly the minute the bonnet is popped, why not lean on the stock gear as much as possible, you will get to your goal and still look stock if you choose parts correctly.

I read on the forums somewhere that they weren't in Qld

      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?
