V8's are overrated, Just set that RB up properly, look at the results with FP turbo's, an FP35 combo would give you what you want both response and top end with right housing, just look at 34GeeTee's results with only a FP3076 on an RB25, he got 390kw's with big mid range, with a 3.2L and FP35 it could be a perfect match...

The only way I will know is when the next work is done and there are results to compare, main test is driving it.

The Skyline is something that gets into your blood , why, farked if I really know ???????????

Had a look at the FP3582 and 3586 if these are the right 35 models @ 75Lb/min as to the PT6262 @ 74Lb/min.

What is the main difference with the FP and PT Turbos , they seem similar?

Who knows :P

I reckon enjoy the car for a bit, no more thinking about mods!! Then get the car looked at by DVS or whoever and go from there.

I do enjoy it, but it is not finished and I was always going to do the surge tank and pod cover, just adding the flex tune , well not adding it, I thought it was getting done with the build :)

ok - I want to see a vid of this launching. Did they setup launch control?

Good point, I think the Haltech Plat/Pro has that function, has to be better than some of my efforts, haha

When it is done I will do a Vid of a launch, have to give you blokes a laugh after all of this crap :)

Would it really need it? being a street car and such a responsive setup

I do not think it matters if a car is responsive or not to have launch control, they have it on the GT-Rs and they are very responsive.

I see it is easy enough for a mechanic to set it up, so maybe :)

Does it stay active all the time or is there a button/switch to activate it?

Its not hard to launch a gtr

Just get the revs up you want, I get the feel the clutch is engaging, let go and away you go :)

Thought it might be interesting to see the difference ?

The key is to use the handbrake and clutch to pre load the drivetrain so you dont "shock" it upon take off

Thats what I said I do, I feel the clutch engaging before I take off.

Listened to blokes saying take it to 7000rpm and step off, no thanks! I will make it as easy as I can on the driveline :)

I take it to 7krpm sometimes more depending how sticky the bitumen is

This was when I first bought the car, if I did not do 7k it went nowhere.

I do around 5k now and that seems pretty good, I also have AD08Rs on and they are pretty soft

haha what they did setup launch control - It sits there in your power band and lets your boost build and then load it up and release.

That is why new GTR's have it as well as all super cars.

That because they are basically autos, you know, so the launch doesn't rely on driver skill. He he.

Would rather have a skyline auto, big stall with a trans-brake. :D

He already knows the answer. He is just ignoring it. An engine is just an air pump. His results are on par with a majority of other results using the same turbo on 3l+ capacity but somehow he believes it should be different. Maybe some fairy dust and a happy dyno is what he needs.

Have u had a car with a restricted turbine that caused boost to drop as peters did?

No issues with mine holding boost with a similar size turbine wheel.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
