having created butthurt over at micra hq, ill predominantly update here. seem the old guard dont like it when two blokes get together in a shed and build something good (but not necessarily better) for 10% of what they have spent.

now i know it was a roller dyno, so the 169kw wont be spot on, but f**k. chill the f**k out.

oh well. i didnt set out to build australias most powerful micra, (even if i have, ITS A MICRA WHO GIVES A f**k)

they are seriously as bad as honda owners. haha. any way, research and emails have gone out to start the handling/traction upgrades. some 6 inch wide wheels with 205s and maybe an arch roll.

an old viscous lsd etc..... we will see what happens. for now im just gonna drive it.

also, can anyone point me in the way of custom mls head gaskets? i can go nissan, nismo(which ups the compression so a big no no) or copper, which im not fond off.

That's a big bump, on 10psi boost with E85 I'd be ok at 10.5 but a lot happier at 10, I've got 9.5 now and am jamming 28psi into it :D

LULZ.

we will find the limit of this engine one day. but i need a spare ready to go in., this is my daily for the next year. or until i get bored.

i do have the wrx to fall back on, but dont wanna have the micra off the road for more than 2-3 days.

I depends how you split your moneys, i see it as tyres are a consumable like fuel and rego though if your going through tyres at the same rate as fuel you've got an issue

Engines aren't much different to tyres, especially if you own a RB26 :yes:

    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
    • thanks GTSboy. My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...
    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
