Recommended Posts

real keen to see the ant eater on the weekend :) are you totally in love with it? driven it much?

not too much.....think I did about a 100km since I got it back...........but yes it's great to finally have it.

Need to learn how to drive it all over again..........but jut feels fantastic Bodo :)

good to hear man, guess you'll be takin it easy at the laps of happyness?

well I'm not gonna ring it's neck that's for sure.

Will be taking it sensibly until I get my confidence back up................which is gonna take quiet some time

But I will get there in the end ;)

north side. just watching Scotts build, and hearing that Dan is building Matt's new engine

morning scott hows the car?

Still at All Star Tuning. Long story short is there is a few hiccups here and there with the transplant. Nothing major just little things here and there that need modifying as they foul on other parts etc. Heaps of little niggly things like that.

Last i heard was the E85 was eating away at hte fuel line a little so once thats fixed its ready to Dyno. Its full of water and oil and just needs the leaky line fixed.

I'm just throwing it out there, Colin, Beezlebub89, is a f**king legend! :D

Gidday Tony ma man.

Mine either!

Mine is... Now I am the odd one out...

Changing my pic won't help that tho...

Did I warn you of the little bits and pieces that just need a little work like I did zac? Having done it they are a dint as it's all little bits and pieces, none of which are particularly difficult to fix but take time and sometimes thing have to be taken back off to sort them.

There is a reason the evo is only going 2.3L and not the different block 2.4 route.

I always knew it was never going to be a simple change over. Im not worried/fazed at all that its taking a few weeks longer with these little things. Id rather it all be done right the first time.

Hosting the biggest Amateur event in QLD at the moment and all these good young golfers think they are Tiger Wood or Adam Scott.. Hurts my head

Tell them their swing is awful Scottie and that they need to put more hip into it...........................for the lulz :P

    • 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?
