Fitted my greedy oil cooler on drivers side today had to do a little modification to mounting bracket because i no longer have stock intercooler ,still need to fit up all the lines I had to remove stock bovs

Now in the instructions for the kit it has trust bovs fitted the stock bovs will not fit with the cooler I yhat location seen as though im running a single turbo do I need 2 bovs ? Or just fit 1 in its place if so what type im not into the wanky bov noise .....

I got the stock bovs to fit but outlet pipe sits abit low and inner guard fouls on it cant win ha ha

You only really need to drain it to the sump if you're going to be doing some circuit work. In that case two -12 breathers of the cam covers to the top of the can and either one -8 or bigger drain at the bottom of the can to the top of the sump. If you want to let the crankcase vent from the sump you can add a second line from the top of the sump to the top of the can. Even if you don't plan to do track work I'd be welding all of the extra fittings to the catch can and sump while it's apart so if the day does come where you need them it's an easy job

Also keep in mind if the car will be doing a lot of street k's the drain is going to mean more frequent oil changes due to all the condensation on short trips.

Rob has fitted 2 -12 fittings to sump so I can run one to bottom of catch can and one to middle of catch can and I already have my 2 -10 lines running from top of catch can to each rocker cover

The size of of the surge tank will have have no impact on how much power the fuel system is capable of,it is only going to effect the surge resistance of it.

Having said that I would say it will be fine. You can get away with no surge tank depending on fuel tank level.

Can't wait to see this run soon!

Ok im noe up to the stage of doing fuel setup and new electronic gauges what are some good gauges to purchase that are well priced Im looking at removing the stock ones in the centre of the dash and replacing with new ones well 2 of them anyways

Problem with small capacity surge tanks is they heat soak quickly, my custom one is 8.5ltr and I am looking into a new bigger one as it starts to heat soak fairly quick

If not track car twin intank it with either 044s or Walbro E85 pumps and carry 1/2 tank min for track use and you won't have an issue

Breathing from the sump is ok for a street car but if you do it for a track car the catch can will quiet quickly over fill and make a mess of your engine bay, especially if you have breathers in the can it self, run a line from the bottom of the catch can to sump by all means but put a one way valve in it to allow oil in to sump but not vise versa

Better off having the return from the rail going straight back to the main tank not into the surge.

2.6ltr is fine if you do it this way, you just have to make sure the intank pump/s out flow the main pumps

That's the same sort of useage I'm doing, so no 2.6 will heat soak quiet quickly and you be pumping heated fuel into the engine, 2 x 044s will turn the fuel around a lot faster from the engine then the 1 044 intank can flush the heated fuel from the surge tank

2.6ltr is fine if you do it this way, you just have to make sure the intank pump/s out flow the main pumps

Should do as there is no pressure.

New setup will be biggest electric Weldon out of main tank to surge and a Weldon mech pump to the rail, woo.

I've got the weldon 2025 as my main and the walbro E85 as my lift, I hate the Weldon, it is the loudest farkin thing I have ever heard :(, the pump is rubber mounted the bracket that holds the pump is rubber mounted the plate that the bracket is mounted to is rubber mounted and there is a price of -12 Kevlar braided between the pump and surge tank, am going to custom a 10ltr with twin walbro E85 intanks, cause street car > race car

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
