The intake pipe was made up and the blow off valve pipe modified so they will recirculate.

also took the blow of valves out of the car 7EEDBB46-9E19-4D65-BE83-313A2B673C65.thumb.jpeg.278024be8ad2cd7dc115f6f7a8310bcc.jpegand swapped over to a set of bolt on gfb ones 44C33312-2AD2-404B-8120-B20B9981B137.thumb.jpeg.b9165f3b4e7c5ee1fa8396b0777d8731.jpegand then put all the bracket and etc back on so they’re ready to fit back in the car 9A30F535-04FB-4071-BE91-7F0BB3B26888.thumb.jpeg.74220a455b9309a241fb94a6b6a15e63.jpeg

Could have saved money and not run any BOVs, more money for bags and bitches lol.

Also dose is better than whoosh noises, and you're not running a BW, it's  it going to explode with the wrong shaft RPM or a bit of pressure against the compressor when the throttle is shut ?

Also Dose Pipe Sutututu: (note, this is not a BW)

Not sure why I'm not making any boost?20161217_153840.jpg

Overspeeding and compressor surge at high wheel speeds are both things known to break turbos since god knows when - they are why blow off valves exist, and why compressor maps are done with a cut off point which is earlier than where the flow completely chokes.   These phenomenon have been recommended to avoid since they have been breaking turbos since WAY before EFRs existed, and have broken pleeeenty of non-EFRs since well after they were released.   

Telling people that it is only an issue for EFRs is pretty bullshit advice for people you are giving it to, and also a pretty major exaggeration of the fragility of EFRs.

 

Calm down @Lithium you clearly don't get a joke, also that turbine snapped because my motor exploded and put chunks of metal through the motor, not because it was oversped.

It was a joke, same way you and your buddies tell the world Precision turbos are junk and you need 15 oil filters.

There wasn't anything put in there to make it seem like a joke otherwise I would had just lolled.   No worries about my level of calm, I just don't like seeing bad advice being left unquestioned... if it wasn't clear to me as a joke then it may not be to others so had to make it clear that it's very wrong - joke or otherwise.  

I have no idea what that last line is about, but you appear to be confusing me with someone else.  I have opinions and friends have opinions, they sometimes overlap and sometimes they don't - whatever you are talking about there is nothing to do with me.

Nah I don’t really want dose, always like the way the gtr valves sounded 

Picked this up 376983A4-FCDE-4442-83BE-77FC3C7D216C.thumb.jpeg.8ed40213c04622b9d7acd144ca9b456b.jpegit the electric power steering pump out of an astra

and after modifying the bracket to it’ll sit flat I worked out I’m going to sit it about here D0E84407-405D-4B2F-972A-17CBCE20316D.thumb.jpeg.ac6e832d1566dd2fdccbc84041ed7a73.jpeghaven’t mounted it yet just sat it there and went to the fitting shop 

Does that one have a vehicle speed input? At least you won't throw PS belts anymore (if you ever did).

I kept spitting PS belts when the motor was spun close to 8.5k on the limiter at a skidpan. Had to pop it back on twice then ended up lowering thr rev limiter (no fun in that).

No it’s just stays on and I’ll use the factory solenoid on the rack to change the power assistance.

i never had belt throwing issues, it’s just for room and trying to tidy up the bay a little 

Fuark. When I was doing mine I was wondering if I should do it like this or black. I bitched out and went black.

Hurry up and get this fitted so I can hate you even more haha

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
