Built 2.6 vs 2.8 Same duration cams Same fuel Same dyno and tuner Same turbo's Same ECU Not sure what you'd prefer.... I'll give you a guess which engine is which.. Carry on...

The beauty of a responsive big power stroker is you can still pretend it's heaps laggy with the throttle, if that's your thing. Can't pretend a lag monster is responsive...

There is definitely something wrong with you. I liked your post, but there is definitely something broken!

So what you're saying is that if you put 2 of these 1.5L 3 cyl engines in a line, you'd have an rb30, which is the superior option all round.

haha, I do not live in the City, 2 minutes down the road it is 80 another 2 minutes it is 100 and 50 klm of country road that has all of the features that make driving fun and I do it up to 7 days a week :yes:

I leave the City driving to you poor bastards :angry:

Oh and at the end of my road there is one of the best hill climb roads in NSW , Wooton Way. Mmmmm it is like driving heaven :wub:

Imagine how good the r35 could have been if nissan stuc with little engines!

Point is, just because someone has a preference to a responsive set up, stroker, 30 whatever doesn't mean its any better for daily duties than another less responsive one. Its just a preference. So all this bullshit about revving the f**k out of 26 to keep up with traffic and crap is just bullshit. IMO based on driving mine daily for the last 4 years is having it off boost in traffic is a blessing and my setup is much nicer to drive that my clubby was and the few ford turbos I have driven.

IN MY HONEST OPINION RESPONSIVE SETUPS SUCK MASSIVE ROD!

Why? because I don't like them, but not to say they are not good for someone that prefers them, but they are no more streetable than a less responsive one.

If I had close to stock response and 350-450wkw I would beat some tiidas and prius's and then I would push it off a cliff and start again.

Moral of the story find out what you like and build it.

You are OK with your car's setup because you drive around in a traffic jam, 1st and 2nd gear driving is fun , as long as you do not have a soft clutch, no problem.

As you said, the good thing about this is, you do not have to change your undies every time you go for a drive as it does not scare you :woot:

BUT, only 6000rpm or 7000rpm away from a MONSTER ready to eat the road , good luck with that as a DD in Melbourne City :action-smiley-069:

haha, don't shoot your Biographer, it was your story as told by you, I just put pen to paper so to speak and there's nothing wrong with a bit of stupid , the trick is , knowing that your stupid makes one a lot smarter and at times I can be pretty stupid, I feel smarter already :special: .

So, I am here to help you get through your fear on low rev speed. Starters, I will give you a few KW down low to start with, put a big spring behind your accelorator so you cannot push it too quickly and away you go :yes::3some: :3some: :3some::yes: :yes:

My setup is worlds away from your old setup Pete, just remember that.

I will post up a video of my daily duties one day so you can understand it better, probably the easiest way.

Just quietly at least XGTRX knows what he wanted in his car, and didn't start a 100+ page topic that could have been resolved very quickly.

But that's none of my business.....

I am sure it would have to be MUCH better than mine, it was hideous to drive and try it with Quad clutch in peak traffic for 1 1/2 hours and you will understand why I hated the heap of shit :bomb_ie:

I am putting up my old Dyno off the 2.6 so some of these blokes know what I call laggy, so they will know what I mean and why I tried so hard to get the car I wanted to drive.

Now, I showed you mine, show me yours!

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Automatic Power Button Light Flashing

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
