I know I am a boring old fart but I have not tried to turn the wick up, well up top, but with a shit load of torque, 900Nm you would think it would burn a little rubber from 6000rpm, not just a skip .

I am sure it felt stronger going from 7000rpm as a 2.6 , STOP! I do not want to hear it , hahaha

I think he means turn Jez's wick up to get the thing together and making some killerwasps asap.

you said it......................

What's there to prove, A VL block with same setup boost will come in earlier and off boost there will be more torque. What Andrew did was great and just reconfirmed what Mines did all those years ago.

People have been changing diff ratios for a 100 years to make their cars accelerate faster. Nothing new.

What was it that andrew and mines did?

Andrew changed the drivetrain ratios, put in 6 speed and kept the 5 speed diff ratios. Similar as putting shorter diff ratios in a 5 speed.

Mines changes the diff ratios in a 6 speed don't know the ratios though.

There are a few mods to be done to fit the manifold and it is going to be heat wrapped and I would think that would be done soon.

So I guess tomorrow or early next week it will be tossed on the Dyno and hoping for a good outcome :merli:

When Jez is happy with everything he will make up a CAI pod cover and hopefully I will never have to touch the heap again , :yes::rolleyes::whistling:

  • Like 2

can we get vids of the dyno run pete? Love hearing these things , GTRNUR's sounds awesome.. :thumbsup:

I will ask for a Vid but I wont be there, so ?

It is sort of like not going to the birth of your kids, well sort of, I hope it is not as messy, can you imagine all of those left over parts all over the floor, old manifold, injectors, nuts and bolts, you get the idea, but I am sure it will not be quite as good but second best is OK :banana:

    • My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.
    • Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway  
    • Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
    • I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.    
    • Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
