Brembo's fitted and dummied up the new intake and intercooler pipes.

Will tack the pipes next weekend and get onto the catch can mounts and lines.

Also looked at a mates GTR fuel lines, decided I'm going to redo the fuel lines in the engine bay before tuning.

 

Hopefully fire it up the last weekend of June.

I booked the tune for July 21.
The new ECU is being sent here along with wide band, air temp and 4bar map sensor.
I will install it all prior to the tune, so about 4-5 weekends of solid work on my hands.
 

I remade the fuel lines to the rail as I wasn't happy with them and based it off a mates GTR who has comparable power levels.

I fitted my hose separators and made up the catch can lines, I'm getting quite fond of 200 series now.
The catch can previously sat on the battery tray which is now gone, so made some brackets to mount it.
I might remake one of the brackets as the catch can sits on a slant due to the engine bay shape.

The Emtron is wired up & can bus working thanks to my brother in law.
Seems to be doing it's thing, the Emtron is a vastly different beast to the old PowerFC.

Put some oil in it and the engine turned over which is promising.

 

I didn't get to start the car this weekend as we found a water leak on the intake near 1&2, so I need to take a look at that before firing it up as I want to be 100% sure everything is kosher.

Since I cannot see the leak the intake chamber and throttles will have to come out at the very least, worst case the whole plenum will come out and get RTV on all the things :(
 


Gauge wise for now I'm using my old Defi Link screen for water temp, oil temp/pressure & fuel pressure for now until I can afford to go 7" big boy screen & run the equivalent sensors through the Emtron.

I may even do an electronic speedo off the Emtron since I wont be needing the cable once I have a LCD dash :)

Found the intake water leak & have ordered some metal gaskets this time rather than the genuine paper ones.
Will pressure test the system before putting the intake chamber back on.

Got a new blade for my band saw & finally got my tungsten rod order (hard to get right now) so whilst I wait for gaskets I will finish my intake pipe this weekend :)

Got the dash back together and the ECU mounted today.

Will test to see exact where the leak is coming from with this China eBay pressure tester kit.

Going to get the leak sorted out in the week and try to finish the intake pipe to the turbo.

Looks neat. Seems us R32 owners are now the bird-dog owners with all the 31 owners going full bling instagram spec :)

Keen to see this thing back and extracting everything the T67 can give !

Thanks man.

Having said that, your 32 is an exception to that rule!

The new turbo is a TD06SH-25G, so should have a tiny bit more poke up top than the T67 from what I can gather.

 

RB25DET gearbox shifter circlips can suck my nuts too.

Missing some skin from that ordeal :(

 

Look to have the water leaks under control now :)


Found the casting on the water tube which sits under the RB26 intake was fouling on the adapter plate.
This was just enough to make the water galleries leak, so I ground off some of the casting dags.
I also got a HKS metal gasket set to ensure the seal is more robust.

 

Did a thing as well to replace my Defi Link Screen and Blitz ID3 Boost Gauge.
This will allow me to swap to Bosch Oil Temp & Pressure and Fuel Pressure Sensors.

Got anymore detail on that turbo? What spec impellers and turbine housing?

I ran a Kinugawa one with 11 blade turbine, 12cm T3 single scroll for several seasons. Was very good performer at the price point, only mistake I made was to spec a more compact comp housing with 3 inch inlet. My car was intentionally kept at modest boost and 375rwhp for track, but a short dyno test  with more boost showed 460rwhp on 98 petrol was no problem.  The bigger comp cover would have been a better choice if I wanted/needed to pursue bigger hp than that.

See attached.

Hoping for 600rwhp on it maxed out.

That's with 1.9bar of boost

@Dale FZ1FZ1 I think the 25G is a 12 blade. There is a thread from years ago in forced induction which may have the specifics.

I recall counting the blades when I got the turbo a year or so ago. Could be wrong however.

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
