Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

Spent the afternoon looking at turbo/s options.

I'm just getting more and more confused.

Partly because i'm not really sure what sort of power I want to end up with.

Thats why I don't get concerned with final power figures, focus on how you want it to drive and forget about the power figure.

McFly is one of the fastest street cars in the club around LP and he's only got 320ish HP.

Thats like my old R32, it was twice the car at 245rwkw compared to 330rwkw. I was so dissapointed at how it drove I had to sell it! lol

How much HP Pete?

And what do you want use the car for?

400Kw would be nice. But at the same time, The car is never going to be a serious track car (white GTR at lakeside and all) so response is key. Stroker+E85 might give both, and somethin like a BW 7670 or similar sized Precision (6266?) might be just the turbo.

I don't. He will have to prove me wrong with a massive skid

First thing i did was install a skids switch...

That being said I was won over by the launch crowd on the weekend. No reason why i can't have both though.

Bunts!

update re: unicorn

Man I have had so much going on with work and estate stuff that I haven't really touched it. I have the new ECU in and running. I have the crank trigger and I have a new exhaust. I need a balancer and to take it down and get it fitted and tuned. While I am there I am getting pipes made up so I can re install the stock airbox. I doubt I will get the time to do any of this until July or so.

Pete,

Big ass single, Precision 6466, big exhaust cam and slightly smaller inlet cam, possible stroker & head work. Should nett you some healthy numbers whist hopefully having decent response

deceased estate or real estate?

Sounds like a fair bit of progress mate. Hope to eventually come cruising with you some time

Deceased estate. I will come out with you when is done. Need to squeeze the cruise in between finishing it and going over seas for 6 months!

all good mate. I understand you're situation trust me.

Rushing things tends to always attract mistakes.

Better off to take the necessary time to get it right.

Hoping Ants. Im trying to hold of guess-timations of power out put etc on this one. As long as it doesnt make less that 588 [Cant see how this would be possible] I will be happy.

I just want to have this car semi-reliable and be able to just enjoy driving and racing it for the winter time. Its spent far to much time and money over the past 8 months in workshops

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
