Wrapped up my cold side piping and most of my meth injection kit. I just have the wiring in the trunk left to do.

I also ended up receiving my 6466. Went with a twin scroll 1.0 T4. I'm not a fan of Precision not making wheel maps public, and have always been hesitant in the past to purchase from them because of it, but here I am. I am surprised of its small package though. I was expecting the compressor housing to be much larger. It's a tad smaller than the HY35 Holset I had on my RB20.

Finally wrapped up the CD009 install. What a bitch it was getting that in, they are rather large and heavy. In hindsight, it's a somewhat easy job once you you've done it before. Spent more time measu

Wrapped up a lot of odd ends over the last two weeks. Installed my one-piece driveshaft, wrapped up all engine and transmission wiring, tested all IO and DBW. For whatever reason, outsider garage bump

Wrapped up the wiring for my meth injection kit last weekend. Just have running and fault feedback to wire into my ecu left. This weekend I welded on my wastegate flanges and installed my EGT's.

Quality control at 6boost has gone down a tad. Wastegate provisions needed some work, angle was all wrong compared to the past two manifolds I've had and the supplied studs were overly plated and required some removal to be used.

Hello from Ontario!! Very impressed with your build and it is giving me lots of motivation to keep going with mine as well. I am not doing anything near as involved, but I really appreciate the quality parts used and the do it right the first time attitude. Maybe one day when the cars are on the road we can meet up half way or something! Good luck with your progress, you have a lot of us hooked!! - Chris.

Thanks a lot! appreciate the kind words. I'm a big believer in buy once, cry once. I built enough cars with ebay parts in my youth to know the ramifications haha. Yea i'm always open to meet!

cool, will still be interested in what values you get too though :)

Finally got around to filling my tank.  My scaling ended up as 0.05V full, 1.10V empty.

Over the last month I wrapped up most of my exhaust, fuel and ignition. 

Went with Radium fuel rail, damper, filter, FPR and 1200CC EV14's. Built my 3.5" catback out of an assortment of parts. Injectors needed tops removed and 14mm orings to fit. Also purchased a Nissan Quest alternator to keep up with the fuel pumps and R35 coil packs. 

I just have my 4" downpipe left to make to be able to start it up. It should start next weekend. I still have a fair bit of work left but it will be nice to hear it running again, it's been a long year.

Over the last few weeks, I finally wrapped up the remaining items to get the car started and drivable. Starting with my 4" downpipe. She was a tight fit. 

image.thumb.jpeg.1d6ef176a9e5354919a5b81df98da48c.jpegIMG_20230206_124052.thumb.jpg.1484ebe173cd330c9bbeae5a741931f4.jpg

I hated having to cut up a brand new compressor housing, but it is what it is. Welded on an elbow onto my 6466 housing. 

image.thumb.jpeg.db473f69e8b3e66ad3adaf15a7fc53d0.jpegimage.thumb.jpeg.061c7be6b6c78ca2a55fe48c2145fcfb.jpeg

After first startup, I had a decent sized oil leak from the front behind timing cover that I had one hell of a fun time locating. Ended up being my intake cam seal. Somehow it was not pushed in enough, but I was able to amend it by just removing the valve cover and cam cap. I was happy I didn't have to remove everything to get it resolved.

I was also very pleased to see my CD0009 conversion with dual plate clutch seems to be working great. Collins had told me this would never work with a milled down bell housing as apposed to using their adapter flywheel. I refused to use their adapter flywheels, as I really disliked the idea of having a lot more weight hanging out further from the crank and with a milled bell housing, I could retain stock shifter location. Besides that I also rebuilt my starter as it began sticking for some reason. That's working well now as well. 

I heat cycled it twice, set timing offset and fuel pressure and changed the oil. I was happy to be able to drive the car out on its own after a year of pushing it out of the garage and winching it back in. Could not go further then the driveway though as it's still winter here. Should be able to drive it around the block in about 2-3 weeks. After I got it running, I installed my upgraded Nissan Quest alternator with a 5-0 Ignite adapter. Quest alternators supposedly pump out a bit more then LS alternators.

Last items I have on the list is to install my Haltech IO expander that has been on backorder for the last three months. Hopefully that arrives soon. I needed more inputs for Meth injection. I also received my Greddy oil cooler and Nismo GT LSD. Should wrap up the oil cooler this weekend and hopefully pull the diff next week.

Obligatory question, wen skids?

Technically speaking, skids already accomplished. If you noticed I mentioned In my last post I drove it out of the garage under its own power but had to winch it back into the garage.... that's because of just skids and no traction with summer tires on snow in my driveway trying to get back into the garage 😄

First drive with it today. We have a winter tire law in affect until March 15th, but applied for an exemption this morning so I could drive it and start breaking it in.

Car felt great and everything seemed good. Three things that really stuck out though... First, twin plate clutches are as terribly loud as everyone says. Second, a 1.01 6466 might have been a tad on the small side for a built RB28. It instantly spools. I would not be surprised if it made boost on idle. Good for most, but I was hoping to use the size to limit lower end torque. 

Lastly, I did not toss my 3.3 final drive and nismo diff in yet. A CD009 with the original 4.3 final drive is comedic to drive. 1st - 3rd gears are useless and get you to 30kmh. 4th and 5th are used to accelerate and 6th is for cruising past 70kmh. I've never shifted so many times in such a short period of time before.

You're making me want to install a Precision as well lol...

Haha, I was trying my hardest not to create any boost pressure and keep it under 3000rpm as I'm still breaking it in... yet my blow off valve kept popping off 😄

I like having a street/circuit car, not a drag car 

I like a street car that I take to the drags, that doesn't break everytime I take it out

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
