Thank you!  Many curves there to give me good data points!  Except the curves in kw show kph at the bottom instead of rpm, and I'm incapable of converting that even assuming it's pulled on 4th gear.  :7_sweat_smile:

Not completely related but I don't want to start a new post...

How much power or psi can RB26 factory head gasket typically handle?  I am trying to determine how far I should push my current setup...

Ahh I see, so the limit is the head bolts and not the gasket.  

My -9s are maxing out at 17.5 psi, more than that it's getting knocks because air is too hot.  So if the 28 years old head bolts can take 350kw, I will invest in a good intercooler and see if I can push to 20 psi.

That doesn't sound right.

time to look at your tune

That is fresh off the dyno, and the knock happens at the top of 1st and 2nd gear.  Still has plenty of injector to go, and we fill tank with fresh petrol just to be sure, still knocking.  Plugs are iridium heat range 7 gap to 0.036" / 0.9mm.  We could get 415whp / 310kw consistently with no knock at all at 17.5 psi, but not more.  I would guess room temperature was about 85F / 30C, so whatever that gets turned into with fans blowing.  Both coolant and oil temp was around 190F / 88C.  Conclusion is charged air getting too hot with factory intercooler.  

I think that's pretty good power at 17.5 psi, but kind of wish it could go to 20 psi.  Curve is identical to factory setup until 4000 rpm, so that tells me nothing major has gone wrong.  What's -9s optimum range anyways...?  

I'm thinking Plazmaman, but I'm not sure if that's too big for -9s at 76mm thick.  Greddy's is 70mm thick and HPI is 72mm.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
