Haven't updated in a long time but managed to get the exhaust and wastegate pipe all installed in April, Today car was towed to the tuners to have all the fluids and other bits done and to get the tune sorted and car ready for a cert. Will post an update, fingers crossed all goes well.

Looney_Head, there were some issues which are getting sorted out and should be tuned and ready for cert at the end of the week, have had to drop my old fuel rail in as they fuel rail on it was causing problems with not bolting down / seating properly so there was a air leak. There were also some minor leaks which were fixed. WIll keep you updated,

Its been a while since ive lasted updated. Long story short now is that the car suffered some issues on the dyno and the engine was fully rebuilt with forged pistons and some other new bits and pieces. Will post up the specs and dyno results soon. Car has been fully tuned.

Been a while since I posted, but car is currently getting a Turbo Upgrade and retune as the current turbo was on its last legs. Will post results soon but Turbo has been upgraded to a BorgWarner EFR 7670.

So Big Update now. After getting the BorgWarner EFR 7670 put on there, it turns out the CAS was also playing up. So the Power FC has now also come out and so has the Airflow Meter and CAS. Am now running a MaxxECU with Temp Sensor and Map Sensor ETC. Also had Oil Pressure and Fuel Pressure Sensors put in. Final Results are below. Red Line is the low boost every day setting. 15 psi. The Blue Line is the High Boost Setting which I havent dared touch yet lol! 20 Psi.

So I have 287Kw at the rear hubs and 324Kw at the rears on high boost. Feels very violent from 4000 rpm. Am still getting use to it. But am currently loving it ?

Some more pictures. Needs a clean though. Will probably try clean it this weekend on my time off lol.

Nice!

Can we some some more details?

Stock manifold? Internal gate? If so any issues with Install?

Could the car take any more boost?

 

Also how does the EFR feel like to drive compared to the previous turbo?

 

keep it up!

nice work getting it sorted. do you know what cams are in it now? i bet its a hoot on the road with the 7670.

Hey Looney_Head. It definetly feels great to drive on the road! The Cams in it are Kelford Cams. Specs are:

Intake: 262 And 262 Exhaust 9.30 mm Lift

Hey blah_blah

Yup I used the stock Manifold along with a spacer plate like a lot of people have done for the GT3076 on a stock manifold. The turbo is using an Internal Gate however am running a Upgraded Turbosmart Actuator as per reccomendations. I would say the car could probably take more boost, however I am currently more than happy with the power levels and how it drives. So will just keep it on that for the moment. Car definitely feels a lot better than the old turbo. The old turbo was using a .63 ar housing and was very similar to a gt35. I need some better rubber as it currently feels like it will light up 3rd with ease.

hows the idle on the 262's? my Tomei 254's don't have much of a lope at idle, are you still running VCT with those cams?

Nice work, again - must be quite fun :)

Interestingly enough one of the cars I've been involved with a bit has it's tune all dialled in, VERY similar concept to yours but running stock cams and has an internal gate EFR7064 on the stock manifold.  That hit 300wkw on 20psi on a local rolling road dyno, and feels barely laggier than stock - we'll have to try and give it a run on Prestige's dyno to see what the power equates to on the hubber.

Hey Looney_Head. Still definetly running VCT with these CAMS. Car sounds nice. When you mean lope are you talking about that lumpy cam idle?

The car you mentioned sounds awsome. Ive had a lot of people ask why I kept the stock manifold. I guess I just couldn't justify spending that kind of cash on something that wasn't required. Mind you I ended up doing a lot of things that most probably wouldn't do. I.E front facing plenum, but I just completely dislike the stock setup from a aesthetics point of view lol.

Funny thing about the FFPs, there seems to be a lot of knocking them on SAU but I personally am a pretty big fan. 

10 years ago the HKS GT2535 was deemed one of the perfect bolt on turbos for mild RB25s, and Prestige's dyno happens to have a mates old stock plenum RB25/98 dyno plot from when he had a GT2535 on his back at that time... so we decided to overlay the plot from an early attempt with the EFR7064 (we ran into boost control issues first time out) setup which runs a FReddy plenum, and the EFR7064 setup made more EVERYWHERE than the GT2535... from 2000rpm to 7500rpm, with the gap only getting bigger as the rpm increased.

The GReddy style plenums in my experience offer a nicer wider spread of torque and as you say, are nicer aesthetically and give a bit more room for activities if you go high mount as well

yeah the lumpy cam idle. my 254's don't have any lumpy idle.

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
