I am sorry, antilag is not part of the 'Sensible 300kw package'.

Shhh, lol.

Lol it is, just too much retard in Bill's case.

Never go full retard, only half retard.

(Single digit ignition retard numbers for next turbo lol).

Yes I'm partially retarded but commo bogan turned me into full retard momentarily. 

I think i had set it at - 40 to 45° 

The other thing I didn't mention is the 2 step part (rev limiter) which is set at 3500rpm didn't activate. So she revved pretty good. Probably my dodgy wiring. 

It is also possible the turbo bearings where on their way out. Anyway turbo is off to hypergear. We'll see what Tao says.

Did you tune this yourself, testing at say 0 degrees, then -5, -10, -20, -30 constantly screaming more bangs! and laughing maniacally? 

I hope so lol.

Sensational bang bangs

The bangs where quite good when the rev limiter was active. I just went and double checked my settings was 10% enrich and 35° retard. Pretty sure with the adaptronic that's not absolute. Eg if base timing is 15° advanced then -35 is 20° retarded. Correct me if I'm wrong sir.

Of course I did until my across the road neighbour came over yelling and screaming, had to drive to somewhere secluded to continue. -35 was where I settled and was producing 10psi on the 2 step.

The problem here has been the limiter not activating and the turbo making a shit load more boost and heat than 10 psi would.

Anyway turbo was dropped off earlier. Tao had a quick look, bearings are still good and he believes either something went through the engine, like a spark plug tip or some sort of debris. I'm just hoping it's not a bit of piston like in dosepipes. Going to check the plugs and do a comp test when I get a chance. 

 

The other theory is excessive heat produced due to tiny 21u exhaust housing and erm anti lag. I'll know more once it's fully stripped. 

He's trying to convince me to moving to a op6 housing with bb core. At this point I'm still wanting to stay with what I had as I couldn't be bothered with redoing my water lines, oil return and retuning again but I may change my mind.

You are correct sir! 

Been a while since I've tuned an Adaptronic!

 

And I hope it's not bits of motor that smashed into your turbo, we know how that ended for me....

Spark plugs removed and inspected, all tips present. Compression test done and still have between 150-160psi across all pots on a cold engine. Pretty happy with that. 

Was panicking at one stage when testing cylinder 5 and it showed 90psi, retested and got the same. Was already calculating cost of rebuild and who to go to but after removing and refitting the gauge it read 150psi consistently. Phew, crisis avoided. Gauge tube mustn't have seated properly. 

Unless hypergear finds bits of motor inside the turbo then I'm confident the engine is still healthy and will put everything back together.

Turbo is back. New turbine and fresh bearing pack. Thanks to Tao from @hypergearfor getting it done and back to me in 3 business days. Awesome service.

Overnight parts from goodstate via ebay plus. Have used them guys a few times for genuine Nissan bits and they always seem to have stock and ship fast. Anyway, had a bit of an oil leak from an aftermarket exhaust side rocker cover gasket. Changed both with genuine + fresh half moons with a dab of threebond while I was there.

Also did a bit of degreasing to clean up the leaky mess. 

Will hopefully fit turbo tomorrow morning and then boost off into the sunset. Antilag switch will most likely see the inside of my garbage bin.

Went well this morning.

All back together, filled with fresh nulon coolant. Bleeding not required thanks to the ling long swirl pot/breather. 

Managed to fire her up and check for leaks. Thankfully there where none. Engine sounds happy and the horrible turbo whine is gone. Success, sadly there was no time for a drive. Off to do family stuff with the wife and kids. Hopefully take it out for a thrash/test drive later tonight.

Ready for Christmas skids ho ho ho 

Just came back from test drive. Can confirm does good skids, spins em off the throttle in 3rd. 

Coolant temp was fluctuating a bit and running 5 degrees above normal. Probably some air still working it's way out of the system. Will check coolant level tomorrow and keep an eye on temp. Happy to have a functioning boat again.

Lol, c'mon man. It's only a fan clutch. You've got a long way to go catching up to Greg. 

In other news, checked coolant level this morning. Took another litre and a bit. Went for test drive 2.0. Temp is a rock solid 88° now as indicated by the Android gauges.

Gave her a quick wash/hose down for Christmas. Scrubbed up alright for an old girl.

After driving again and checking the peak boost levels on the boost gauge, it appears to be down by a bit over 1 psi. I do remember when removing the turbo, the actuator looked a little bent and was almost touching the outlet. I had filed down one of the bolts in the past for clearance. When the turbo came back the actuator looked perfect. I think Tao must have noticed it and straightened it up and this is possibly the difference in boost. Not sure if I'll tweak the boost control myself or take it back to Trent for a proper check and tweak.

Drove through a booze bus today, Cop was all "Does that have a 25 Neo in it?" Said "Oh no, it has a LS" and opened the door and pointed to Engineering plate and told him it was all above board officer.

I got a solid thumbs up.

no RB can have that peace of mind! 😛

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
