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:

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.

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
