I didnt know you could fit skyline pumps in small nissans. I heard someone "say" a pulsar had a GTR pump, but I didnt believe them. Please post pics when you can.

Also, just come to calder tonight with me and Artz. I gotta drive to hampton park to pick him up anyway. more the merrier.

no can do bud. but if you at scottys between 5 and 7 ill see you there!

only thing you have to do to fit skyline pump is file out the neg terminal and bend the pick up back to stop it fouling.

not sure is pulsar is the same, but im pretty sure gtir pump is gtr pump.

scotty fitted up my oil return last night, and is startin the last half meter of exhaust pipe to connect the dump to the cat back..... fingers crossed we can start her up tonight..

didnt get anything done over the weekend, mothers day and doing some fettling to the wifes wrx got in the way.

will try and get it finished by monday...... but could be another week as money is tightish for a few days.

should get a side pipe mocked up while making zorst. just for those special days/DECA.

lulz. 11ty'th person to have said this.

once zaust and coller is mocked up, and i have settled the bill with scottys customs, there shall be a lul where i complete a few things on the wrx.

then i shall be back for tuneage.

however all this opensource tuning stuff with evos and wrx's has piqued my interest....

okay. so got to take the micra for a quick spin last night.

scotty finished the front pipe looks beautiful.... so to recap....

scotty customs manifold to 33gtr turbo, stock dump pipe to scotty customs 2.5inch front pipe, stock 3 inch cat and 2 inch cat back to VAG diesel muffler.

all that is left is intercooler piping and me to fit the cooler up tonight.

have two options so i can use it for a couple of weeks, leave wastgate open and have 1-2psi of boost, or diconnect cooler piping and runa pod filter on intake......

anyway also changed the throttle body to a ga15, much bigger throttle body. and a more reliable afm. in future if found to be a restriction, will simply place rb25 or z32 afm in cooler piping and by pass stock afm.

i originally set my self a budget of 2k for turbo and tune, knowing full well this was a dream.

initial set backs where had with the modified standard manifold not being up to the job and having to go custom, but this was saved by the oem dump fitting perfectly, so money spent, money saved kinda equalled out.

the lengths we went too to save cash is pretty extreme! (leaving sump on to drill return with magnets in it to catch sworf, using 2 different types of oil to flush engine, cutting our own flanges for the manifold, me die grinding the shit out of everything, doing all the shit jobs my self etc etc) cant say enough of a thanks to scotty for this! (inb4 he charges me a ridiculous amount for cooler piping now hahahahahah)

lets just say 2500 isnt dreaming with a tune, and ill have change. sure there is a few 20-30 dollars here and there i havent accounted for, but to say this will be turbo an on the road for 4 grand, after being sat in a wreckers is a miracle. the fact that some turbo builds cost twice that alone, with out the car just shows how cheap ive got things and how good my friends are with coming thru for me.

anyway enough mush we arnt finished yet. ill update after cooler is in. maybe with some videos etc.

Some turbo's cost that much. :P

I tell you mate, the spool sounded very loud with all the pipes off, you may need to be careful on the road, it's fairly obvious it is boosted.

Thread is useless without pics, but have you even taken any? Perhaps if you turned up in the daytime you would have a better chance of getting a few good shots? :P

people who buy these clearly havent been to the jewish school of finance i went too!

haha, yea it sounded mental.... we need to quiet the turbo down...... ideas?!

i have not..... i cant get pics in time! its always dark ten mins after i get there! you should tae some for me :wub:

oh yea, should prob mention, most of this build has happened in the dark after work, as i dont have much free time anymore! we prob could have completed the build in a couple of days if i had no job haha!

I wanna see Palttsy do skids with his meeeeeeecra

If not, my frenchness is going to be much disappoint

I can provide pulsar skids if micra is not up to the task.

or we could do a duet.

thats a great price for Toyota gear especially! is that including the car?

No, just for the turbo conversion.

4EFTE Turbo and manifold.

HDI Cooler kit

4AGZE injectors

Haltech E6X with boost control (full wire up)

LS1 coils with Haltech Ignitor

Oil filter relocator kit

2 1/2 dump with 2inch exhaust

DCS Cushion button clutch

Tacho and boost gauge

Still being wired up, only going to run 10psi so should see 90-100fwkw.

exactly what im aiming for... starlet is 1.3 engine also yes?

fabricator reckons itll pull crazy power..... im not so sure. engine is 300k old...

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
