E85. I thought it would of made more but oh well have to ask Trent why it couldn't. It is a unopened 170k s1 engine. I'm thinking I should of went with the sat45 turbo now.

The boost curve is what surprises me because my other ss2 internal gate is full 21psi boost by 3750rpm and the curve looks a lot better than that and then goes completely flat.

I'd replace the gasket between the runners and the plenumn. Some S1 are metal, later ones are rubber. Mines an S2 and was rubber, it started leaking and we didnt pick it up for a long time.

I used a cometic gasket from kudos ms.

Did u end up getting a front splitter made up?

im looking for ideas, want to make one soon.

Hey mate nah not yet but it will be getting sent back in to get one made up at havoc fab. Looking at something like this.post-84279-14343233710606_thumb.jpg

Yeh I looked through his build thread and found it there. Also speaking to top stage composites atm as well and might just bite the bullet and get there v3 package since tax times coming up.

New wheels finally fitted. Had to raise the rear 50mm so they could fit. ROH Modena 18x10 +15 with 295 semis. Next I will have get the arches flared out because they sit a bit outside the guard. Don't no if I should keep them white or get them sprayed black.

Haha yeh I think some over fenders will have to be used. My panel beater is gunn try pump the guards out as much as he can first. They sit about 30mm outside the guards. As for ride height I will be coming down just have to wait until the guard are flared as the rear guard sits on the tyre if a go any lower. Haven't really had a chance to play around with my bc cooler era yet.

    • 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
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
