Oil change every 5000ks on a performance engine, filter every 10,000

And definitely change regularly if running e85

Jesus kiwi I change my work vans oil more regularly than that lol

Annually or 20,000+ km should be fine but I end up changing it abut every 6 months (10 - 15,000km). I get Nismo filters for $30.

maybe if you own a KIA or something..5000km km is the norm, or if you race..before and then after is good, and with 40+psi a top up in between..lol

i woudn't like to be your engine bearings...lol

cheers

Ok it's not a ? On oil anymore it's what's going in.

Picked up a special conponants standalone ecu along with a OS Triple plate to match my Getrag. Just on the look out for a R34 pedal box and I'm complete for the convert. Oh and the manual centre gear surround for a S2.

Capping power @ 325 until convert, my tuner is trying to convince me to fit the GTX42. Wrong car in my eyes for the 42 so I'll stick with the 35.

On test mind a GTX40 spooled up 750rpm faster than GT35. The GTX40 made the same power @ 0.4 bar less and 50ft/lb more than the GT35. For a big turbo they not too laggy.

lol, f**k fitting a 76mm turbo to a manual stagea....weight and lag, be awful..and slow, especially in this day and age with mid frame 62-67mm turbos that

flow so much air..

cheers

The gtx40 was on a R34gtr and the GT35 was also on R34.

I have said I'm sticking with the GTX35 myself and will make best do with what I have.

The weight issue is something I can work on.

900kg front and 700kg rear axles at the moment,and will be reduced in weight in time. Getting as near to 750 is the end target I'm looking for.

Lag is part of the game, just need to reduce best I can.

Car looking good. Needs an RB30!

I have a GT3540R with a .63AR exhaust for quick pickup (weighs in at 1800kg with driver). Haven't been able to get to the drags yet -hopefully these holidays. Currently at 314AWKW - here is the boost curve:

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
