Drove it tonight, gave it a bit of a squirt on the new motor. Does feel strong, but haven't given it a beating yet as it's still the 1st batch of oil.

Will dump out the oil then drive it harder this weekend :)

Not a bad turbo, comes on (gate pressure) about 4000rpm, from the trace you can see 0.8bar of boost by 3600rpm. Mind you this was all in 2nd gear. No 3rd gear squirts yet hehehehe

@Piggaz told you I was going to give it not pussy it around!!

But does it dose?

not VL dose, but it is because running low boost and also has a stainless intake..will take the car and get some fab work soon ish :)

 

Haven't driven the car since but installed a modern head unit with bluetooth for hands free life :)

Some modern features for an prehistoric car.

If you can hear the radio you're not driving it fast enough...

 

That's what i tell myself anyway, need to get mine working again...

Haha its got some decent audio, Vifa splits and a DD ported sub. At the back there is a 4 channel and a monoblock to power the speakers lolol.

So late arvo yesterday, dropped the oil and put in fresh 15W50 Penrite Racing and decided to check the base timing. It was a whole 4 degrees off. Explains why the car had a bit of a boost creep running stock gate pressure. 

Fixed that, then took it for a spin (in between that fixing the fuel table which didn't require much change from the old motor setup). Got the AFRs a bit leaner so now its hitting 11.7 and flat lining.

And yep, I raised the boost too haha.. Running it in at 1.2bar of boost with crap all flat timing it's baking shitty 245 section Dunlops. Took it to Mexico and wound out 1st 2nd and 3rd, think I'm starting to hate the car less. Followed by that ended up at my mate's shop in South Mexico followed by a session of donuts to bed in the motor further. Gave the keys to the other boys at for a spin too. One didn't mind the lag as the motor revved out to 8.3k the other said was a bit too laggy for his liking but nevertheless still put a smile on everyone's face.

Late last night thought I would try to download the footage from my dash cam, turns out the memory card is corrupted :(

I'm running in this car a shitty Laser branded dash cam. It's the same as the G1W you see on OzBargain. 

Also isn't the first time it has corrupted a memory card. Instructions clearly state only use memory cards in this list, clearly I'm not lol.. Have a SanDisk SD card in there it doesn't like.

I don't think it matters, I've got an older GoPro4 and a quality SanDisk card and it never seems to capture anything when I'm doing illegal stuff, it's really odd. 

Ordered 2x 3.5" v bands, came next day.. Woo! (One pictured)

More exhaust mods, 3.5" into a 3" axle back isn't going to be optimal for 400kW+ worth of exhaust flow. Gotta open up that shit

A bit of raw data from the car, we can see it's making boost within 200ms or so from gear changes. Not bad transient response :)

It's no EFR or GTX but for what it is it will make many GT-R owners with twins pretty sad lol

Haven't had the chance to give it a full belt and do logs because of the long weekend

    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
