38mm instead of 33mm from the guide for the tensioner hole no need to use two tensioner and timing marks line up spot on

Can you elaborate on this? I don't understand how the tensioner hole position has any influence on the timing marks. The drive side of the timing belt is phasing the belt teeth based on the length of the path the belt follows. I reckon using an idler pulley doesn't get the crank to cam sync quite right. The other thing is that the timing marks on the head backing plate are probably only as accurate as they needed to be assuming you were putting a timing belt back on an RB25 block (ie you aren't wrong by a hole tooth). I am probably thinking about it too much and if I truly want to get it right I would need to dial the crank to the cams properly. Thanks for the help!

You are able to get the right tension on the belt from the beginning and the tension is on the correct side and not relying on the second tensioner to get it right I found when using the two tensioners I'd be playing around with both of them to get marks lining up now the extra 5mm and one tensioner and Idler I'd set tension and marks are perfect hope I explained my self clear enough I'll dig up some pics and post of this

Cheers for that. I've ended up going with the two tensioners. 

A little update, I got it running tonight. I nearly fell off my seat it was so loud running straight off the headers right next to me. 

I set up an oil pressure gauge in my little switch box and it's making plenty. I only ran it for a few seconds since there's no water in it yet.

I slapped a radiator and short exhaust on it this week. Sounds absolutely awesome. Very crisp and revvy. All I need now is a car to whack it in. 

 

Does anybody have any good ideas about converting it to a Programmable ecu? I'm am idiot and didn't look into this and now have the issue of doing one if these things.

1. Buy a complete turbo loom and ecu and injectors then going nisstune.

2. As above but plugging in a pfc

3. Start from scratch with a aftermarket loom and ecu. I would be thinking megasquirt if going down this path. 

 

Any advice would be welcome.

Thanks but Not sure this helps me. The problem is that the Neo NA ecu and loom are different to the turbo therefore any of the plug and play ecus won't work because nobody supports the NA motor. If I have to wire one from scratch it will be a megasquirt but I'm mostly looking at the pros and cons of replacing loom with a turbo then getting a plug and play ecu/piggyback nistune style. I think I can get a megasquirt running the complete NA motor then would just need to change injectors and go to map sensor to run a big turbo but this would have much more head scratching than the other option.

I'm a DIY kind of guy. You get incredible functionality for a good price. For less than $1000 I'll get an ECU that's entirely configurable with all the I/O of a high end ECU. As I said earlier they generate more head scratching but I've got a few mates who have had good success with megasquirt as well as know a tuner who is familiar with them.

get a Nistune, less money plenty of functions.

I have a tuner license too and can get you the boards cheaper. Since you're a DIY kind of guy it can be fun soldering.

    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
