hey guys.
Sorry been really busy at work and havent been able to follow my own thread haha.

getting the turbo studs for the manifold this weekend most likely. then just need intercooler piping made up and my dump pipe and shes all ready for a tune.

thanks for all the support, glad your all ready to see my rb20 blow up haha.
but im excited to also see the dyno results.
should be hitting the dyno in a few weeks as i need to tweak a few things and make up a bracket to fit my fuel rail.
waiting for new braided lines as there was a miscommunication about the sizes, but he sent them out to me free of charge (i just had to cover postage, which is fair enough since it was my mistake).
gotta get some push lock fuel line fittings too.

will keep all of you up to date with results.

Yes dori34.its in the r33.. i received the turbo yesterday... after chating the guy on facebook and telling him ill buy it, he put the price up the mongrel! Ive got him to send me a 7 psi spring as well to run before i get my tune done..

So.. ive got the turbo.. looks good. He also sent me a different spring to adjust actuator pressure. He didn't say a thing as to why he put the price up.. even when i questioned it.. wouldn't reply.

Any way.. ive gone and test fitted it and even though he told me its a direct bolt on and works fine with standrd manifold.. the outlet on the front aluminum compressor housing hits the exhaust manifold. So im going to put new studs and a 12mm spacer on the manifold flange. If thats no good and causes me issues, ill have to get a aftermarket exhaust manifold.

So ive finished the install. First test.. all well. Very quiet turbo.. can hear it spin very freely and smooth! Feels a bit less powerful than the gcg hiflow that i took off . Boost control so far seems ok but i still have to tune my greddy profect ebc. 12mm spacer brought it out enough to clear the exhaust manifold.

Hi guys, man its been a while since i've updated this.

Took the R32 down to the tuners to finish off my piping and any other loose ends that i may have missed.

so just a matter of time till i see the dyno results and stuff.

in the mean time, heres the booklet Eji takada sent me (Owner of mambatek).
it included the balancing sheet and a sticker.

Not sure what the balancing sheet means. If anyone wants to tell me what it means then please by all means.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
