7163 on a SR20 was absolutely awesome unit.
I had a 7670 on a RB28 and it was also a really awesome unit.

Twins can be suitable for some packaging reasons. In a RB it makes no sense as packaging wise, Nissan just... put... two turbos in the space of one, and two manifolds in the space of one, as one big twin scrolling exercise for group A reasons and also because it was 1989.

I could be wrong with the turbo number but the tuner did mention going down to a 7xxx turbo which would beat -7 twins in every way. But he said it’s always better to go one size up as most people end up wishing they had. 

The thing I'm hoping to collect data on some day is whether the HKS GT3-SS turbos are actually capable of doing this, secondary to that is whether it's even remotely in the same ballpark as a comparable power single for response:

To add more comedically priced turbo kits to the mix, Nismo just announced a new R3 turbo kit to replace the R1 turbo kit: https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/nismo_parts/NEW_PARTS/index_2021.html

Searching around this exact turbo has been available for a while though. No idea what's going on here and what this turbo really is.

I honestly can't tell if they just rebadged a slightly different part number for "R34 N1" turbos now that they ran out of existing stock. Poking around the internet I've seen that exact spec claimed for R34 N1 turbos, both the C106 compressor wheel and 0.6 compressor a/r. Supposedly AA403 was the -7/R1 spec, AA401/402 line up with this R3 turbo spec.

Kelford L182-A for the most street option.

Kelford L182-B for a less street (will be a bit lopey) street option

Neither of those require lifter bore clearancing work.

Kelford 182-B for the best street option.

Kelford 182-C for the less street best street option.

But both of the above will require lifter bore clearancing.

 

Lift is better than duration for a street car. The bore clearancing is worth it. But of course, the head has to come apart.

The head will be rebuilt so if there's work like that then it should be easy enough to get it done. i forgot to mention in my last post that driveabilty a street manners including fuel economy will be more important than absolute performance and things like wanting a lumpy idle.

Fuel economy?

Is it weird to want to extract more efficiency out of these engines? I have a VCAM sitting in the garage. At some point I'm hoping to do a flex fuel conversion as well to be able to push out the envelope of lambda and ignition timing. I'd love to try something crazy like water injection but it doesn't seem practical or reliable from what I've seen.

It is fun for tuner types like myself (and clearly Josh) to get the car running as "optimally as possible". I've spent many fun hours making the car run a little leaner/smoother cruising along at 100kmh in 6th.

None of this makes any sense, see you all in iRacing 😛

The guy that's going to tune the car has recommended Tomei poncams type B. i know these arent a forum favorite but will probably go for them since thats what the tuner is comfortable with. 

Whatever you do, do not get Tomei USA parts. I know a guy who thought Tomei Japan and Tomei USA are the same thing. His Tomei USA cams literally did not fit in the engine. A lot of people have reported defective out of the box Tomei USA head gaskets. Tomei Japan has issued a statement out there that says explicitly that they have no control over Tomei USA and cannot be held responsible for any failures that result from their parts. Supposedly the US part numbers are actually all coming from Real Speed Engineering. I don't know what the relationship between Tomei USA and RSE is but RSE is tainted by association IMO.

The tuners doesnt need to be comfortable with the cams. Whatever that means.

    • 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.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
