If you need Nistune hook ups you know who to ask :)

And congrats on finding a new job, I should start looking myself. Already have had 2x weeks of unemployment, don't think I like it lol.

lol yes I know

As if I would buy all that fruit for the bottom end and head then run it on a Nistune 

I might cheap out on the turbo yet, but I won't cheap out on management. 

 

Nistune is very capable, full ethanol blending, boost by ethanol concentration. Compensation cranking fuel tables by ethanol concentration.

There's a critical issue though. 

Nobody here wants to tune it. Getting the Silvia done was a bit of a pain last time, and I can't say I was impressed with the result (which may say more for who tuned it). If I can't get good results with one locally, there's no point.

Would rather go with what my tuner likes and recommends.

You're kidding me? 

You mean I shouldn't just assume everything I read here is fact, do my own research, and come up with my own conclusions anyway? 

Because I have certainly never done that...

I'm not sure what I'll do about the backwards engine just yet, but I'm sure there's a box to fix it.

When Nissan parts don't fit too well, borrow some inferior Mitsubishi parts :)

(Mitsubishi makes those awful CAS units for the RBs, which to be honest are gaids)

ignore the red hoses for now, they were from my temporary and last minute PS cooler which somehow became a permanent fixture.

Lines all nipped up, all fluids filled in motor, bled coolant system without engine running (will bleed it again once she starts up).

Fitted inconel studs and locking nuts to manifold/turbo as well.

Looks like it's ready for fab soon!

Can you hurry up and turn the key ffs. 

Here's a shot just then, it's a bit dark.

I assume car won't dose as mad as it did with the Hypergear ATR45SAT 6+6 VL ulleh spec cast compressor, but fast is best.

    • 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!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
