ebellis - Thanks man. Thought about it before but does it really matter? At the end of the day, it makes me happy. Lol. :banana:

V28VX37 - Thank you for the kind comment, mate. I'm glad it came out beautiful. :D

As long as you're happy and enjoying it that is all that matters :)

ebellis - Cheers buddy. :cheers:

XGTRX - Thanks man! :woot:

AngryRB - Thanks, Mark! I got it here in Malaysia. Sorry. Assuming that you're talking about the stickers, they are actually dark navy. Got some instagram filters going on there. Lol. :rofl2:

So.. bad news. Took the R33 out for dyno and discovered that there wasnt any boost. Got the car checked and found out that the original intake pipe shrinks whenever I accelerate. So I replaced it with a stainless steel one. Then took the car for a spin and still no boost. Did some brief research on the forum and found out that there were few possibilities. One being boost leak and the other, faulty actuator. Did the good old soapy water boost leak test and all was fine. So the main suspect, possibly the actuator.

So, I have decided to put the ECU installation on hold and just proceed with other mods before I get the car tuned. Here's what I have in mind:

1) Front facing plenum

2) Upsized Throttle Body

3) Intercooler

4) Intercooler Piping

5) Walbro 400lph Fuel Pump

6) Fuel Rail

7) Bigger and Meaner Turbo

8) 50mm Tial Wastegate

9) Top Mount Exhaust Manifold

Then..a tune.

Gonna start saving up for the big project. If things go well, 1 to 6 should be done by the end of this month. Will update soon.

no need for these things:

1) Front facing plenum

2) Upsized Throttle Body

Many people make silly power without the need for those items. Just get a Plazmaman swept back kit, similar to what i have on my car:

I can help you with sourcing the kit too if you want, as trak-life is a Plazmaman reseller :)

Woahh. Clean engine bay. What a sleeper. :wub: Frankly tho, I'm heading a different direction. Lol. I'm planning to mount the turbo up top. Tho, quick question.. Wouldnt the air travel quicker thru a front facing plenum? Or is it irrelevant altogether?

irrelevant, however a properly designed plenum will net you more power up top with some loss of down low..

The likes of Plazmaman OR CPC uses the factory runners so you don't lose the low down like those GReddy plenums or fake alternatives.

nice engine bay johnny, but sits too low in bay, need more cubes :nyaanyaa:

I'd recommend a sinco top mount with GT3076 anti-surge, very delicious,

carry on :ph34r:

hahahha... prick, well once this motor grenades I might do something more fun. It's looks nicer now, more black in it now :)

better go twin scroll too, single scroll is gaids

Interesting... Johnny, quick link to your build thread?

In just a few posts, I actually learned a lot from you guys. Twin scroll actually sounds like an awesome plan. Had to google/youtube it. Lol. :sweat:

Engineering Explained - Twin Scroll Turbocharger

a GTX3071R TS with a decent enough rear end on a proper TS manifold and twin gates will shit all over that dinosaur GT3076 :)

Will make more power, will come on earlier and transient will be like a virgin blowing their load all over Miranda Kerr for the first time.

stock internals will do over 350kW easily.. just need a set of decent headstuds in there and if the OEM gasket is getting a little old a basic Tomei one with some ARP2000 studs will happily let you put silly amounts of boost into the motor.

Thanks mate. Its a love hate kinda thing. Some love it. Some hate it. Lol.

350kw with stock internals?! Thats insane. Dont I need to replace the pistons and what not? Guess I'll be revising my power goals. Hahahahahhaa. Did a quick search on ebay and found that there're few specs for the gasket. Bore 87.0 or 88.0 / Thickness 1.2mm or 1.5mm. Checked the forum and many debated that stock gaskets are more reliable. Whats the truth in it tho?

Anything but Cometic (i.e. don't use them) HG will do the trick. Stock bore is 86mm, however "usually" when people slot in new pistons they clean up the block and naturally that increases the bore.

RB25DET NEO motors are stronger though... there's a 34GeeTeeTee on this forum making close to 400kW with stock HG, stock studs on his track car.

    • For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.
    • Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?  
    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
