Hey guys,

I’ve been thinkin about the Cefiro's (can't wait till i actually get one :headspin:)

and have been thinking about keeping the sucker kool under pressure (drift :rant:)

would need(/want) a front mount right¿... so, was thinking it would make life easier to have a front facing plenum on the motor so that the piping didn't get heated up again traveling back over the engine/fen etc (also would mean shorter piping - win/win situation! :cheers:)... So basically my question is, can you bolt a GTR plenum onto a RB20/RB25 no worries or how hard a job is it? OR... would it be better to go with an after-market plenum for these advantages and what kind of costs would i be looking at in all of the above cases?... (keeping in mind i'm not made of money! lol!

I would be doing simple bolt on mods to the car so won't really want to spend a fortune on and aftermarket computer and a days dyno tuning... (a chip may be in line down the road a bit but we'll leave that for now)... just wanted you to keep that in mind with your response.

Look forward to your input.

Cheers,

Dave.

hye man..

Ok my thoughts. if u using the ceffy for drifting.

Since in drifting u only go around the same corners for like 3-4 times and no more as most of the time u will be sitting on the rev limiter. I would say get a FMIC and a oil cooler. Any more power would also benefit from the FMIC would be good not dtrimental to your sport.

Most guys at the last d 1 drift day whom owned ceffy's had rb20's and pretty much only oil cooler and standard fmic. Everything elses was standard.

The standard power on the rb20 should be enough for u to obtain the correct speed to enter drift and should enable u to commit long enough on the drift.

I havent had any probs on my standard rb20 (oops ive got a t3 turbo). And have been able to do power overs with ease.

Just spend the money on the clutch and tyres u will be going through.

I run my old s13 stockies on these so much easier to lose traction and dorifto. :wassup:

ATM only got like 170rwkw on 13psi.. and ive found that enough to do drift.

yes u can bolt an RB26 plenum up to an RB20/25

however for the cost of the whole thing it would be a waste of time.

-exhaust

-FMIC (GTR will do and much cheaper)

-Oil Cooler

-suspension

-clutch

-bleed valve

-POD

-ECU remapping

thats pretty much the basics.

Ok then that's kool.... Thanks guys and thanks inark, the money vs. benefits was what i was kinda wondering...

Rather than a bleed valve what would you say about an ebc? (or save the extra $'s for something else and just use a bleed valve?)

it all depends mate on ur situation...

ebc is always going to be better for tuning and more reliable... if u can afford to spend the extra cash on it go for it... even one of the older model ebcs are good... not as dear as AVCRs and the like.

does that mean a CT26 would bolt straight up?... what's your opinion on this (from what i understand it's a t3/t4 hybrid, some with dual wastegates - but i think i've already proven the extent of my turbo knowledge with my last comment lol!)

mate i honestly know sfa about cars... let alone turbos...all i know is if i strap a T88 on my GTR along with all the other supporting bits it = smokey fun :cheers:

LoL if the barstard spools :P

probably 3-5k on top of the half cut costs...

If i supplied a wreck, would the 3-5K cover all the conversion¿ (ie brakes etc as well?) also, would there be any problems with driveshafts (4wd-2wd) or just a straight swap or whatever?..

cheers.

not sure mate...

3-5 would probably cover the engine swap... as for a brake conversion... you would need to source them too.. probably about 600-1000 id say depending on how much u get them for... gearbox once again not sure if the std one would be able to handle it... mine has an RB25DET gearbox i think... how the connect em up is far beyond me.

probably best to speak to a well known performance garage in Sydney that works with a lot of skylines.

best to do a search in the performance section and the NSW section and see what u come up with

Also an RB26DETT motor with RB25DET g/bpx. loom, ecu, afm's (essentially an engine package) will set you back $8000. I feel the only cost effective way to have an RB26 powered S13/A31/R32 is to buy it from Japan rather than converting it over here!

yeah boj01, I agree with that... i also had the option of getting a wrecked GTR and swapping everything into the Cefiro then selling what was left to try and re-coup some dosh but was unsure how the gearbox/driveshaft part would go¿:confused: any input?....

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
