So is a PT6262 a good turbo for this combo? must be a decent size for a 3.2L to take 4000rpm to be spooled.

I hope it does not have to go to 4000rpm to be spooled :(

But I will have to wait to find out how this combo will work in together :/

Pete don't be ridiculous, it'll probably make 300kw at 4 grand so stop worrying :)

Is that all, heap of shit :)

Joey, I know what I expect from the car from what you, Paul and a few others have said, the others have their different opinions and as all of them have more experience with these cars, I cannot push my uneducated opinion and as a bloke that is an optimistic pessimist , I always go for the worst and it gives me more chances to be happy with the end result :)

At the end of the day, when it is done I will know , but i am happy with the run in tune, the clutch :wub: great advice! I can also notice the difference of the drive train, not sure how to explain it, it seems more balanced around the twisty stuff and as you know there are plenty of 35s in this area on an 80 limit road, so I get a little idea of how it is working .

Good to see you have it back and hopefully I will get to see it when final tune is done, would be nice to compair side by side with my 3.0 34

It will improve a good amount when they start playing with cam timing, if there is something CRD do well its cam timing, I still use the settings they did on my 32 from 8 years ago and they should have learnt more since then

Dave was pointing out the rev limit is to be set to 80,000rpm :)

Hi Mick, all good

From what you have said before to me and on other posts I felt happy having CRD do this work, they have always done a good job. I forgive them for the other shit :wub:

It is good to hear what you think about their cam timing abilities and your experience with them.

80,000rpm, :) WHOOOOOPS MISSED THAT :yes::rolleyes: those pesky "O" do not look like much, but :woot:

vids of beast starting and brief drive??? :yes: 3.2L of goodness

Not much of a beast at the moment, like it has a hand tied behind its turbo.

I was surprised at the difference the .6Lt made to how the car runs at low rpms, that was one of the results achieved , just have to wait for the rest.

I will do something after the final tune , do a vid and graphs.

Maybe have to get the support strut modified or get a slimmer type to fit as the motor height has altered, I think he said about 38mm after some engine mount modifications.

Couple of pics of the donk, as you can see no tower/strut brace

Not one of the pretty builds that are full of detail, just basic but as long as I get my results, who cares :)

Looks very clean pete, I'd be happy with how it looks

just see if we can get the or another strut to fit, maybe it is not needed ??

Jim said they do not always put them back on ?????

Most likely custom strut brace which is what i have to do and i lowered the subframe by 8mm, needed depends on use of car, i like to track mine so its needed for me

The deckhieght on the RB30 block is 38mm higher then the RB26

I thought he said they lowered the mounts by 12mm or 18mm, not sure, but think he said it was still about 38mm higher .

I had made a tray system to stop the water going over the motor through the vents of the Z-tune type bonnet, the idea of water pissing all over the motor just seems dumb to me, so he had to cut a small section out of it to close the bonnet, easy to fix and does not affect it anyway, just have to do a few tests to see what happens with the water now if it is pissing down.

The photo shows the rain tray and the old strut brace

They are going to see what they can do with the strut when I go in for the final tune and if they cannot use the original one I will hunt one up. Seen a few flat types that should do the job.

Are you saying there are custom strut braces for these builds, if I need one where can I get it ?

A decent fab shop should be able to make you one up Pete

I'm sure someone can recommend a shop close to you

Measure the strut position this morning and it is OK, 3 inch clearance. The strut can go under the water hoses and I will have to modify the water tray to go over the hoses, DONE, well maybe , lol

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
