Now that's what I call a high flow cat!! :cheers:;)

Nice job Brendan. Mate, I'm not too far away, if you need a hand sometime give me a shout. What guys like you an me need though is people with tiny little hands to get in all the tight spaces...

Richard - I have no clue what you are talking about.

Well - nearly got the HKS 2835R on now - Pics to come.

I got one nut on the turbo flange to go - that's it - It's a tricky little bugger - You are right Richard - I need someone with small fingers and hands to get it started.

So should be back on the Rd soon - need a reducer/silicon 90deg bend if anyone has one lying around.

Then small adjustment to the tune to compensate for the slightly smaller turbo - and Bob's your Uncle.

Cheers,

hehe.

Just wait 'till 3pm, then head down to your local High School as the year 7 kids come out just offer one of them a free ride in your line if they'll squeeze their little hand in there and start the nut for ya. Wait a minute, scratch that, possible persecution as suspected peadophile might make this one for plan B. Instead just keep fu:)

Good job. Now I wanna know when you can take me for a spin!

hey!! I am missing something? I just saw the words HKS2835R in your post? what happend with the 3040? I though it was the shiznit? just a check/fix needed then back on it goes?

Will still be a weapon with the 2835, I imagine it will come on boost pretty hard and early compared to the 3040.

Nah - a challenge :D

Richard - 2835 is interim - whilst I decide on 3040 options. Also to see the diff between the 2835 and the 3040 with the same setup.

Options for 3040:

a) GCG Rebuild $950

B) New Garrett CHRA from the US $ approx $1200 delivered

c) GCG Rebuild and new compressor - prolly about $1300

d) looking at other options too - anyone got any other thoughts ?

With the new Comp wheel - should be a beast. But where to use all that goodness ?? ha ha ha :)

B-man, I don't have a 90 deg elbow handy, but if you can wait while I nip down the shops I can "fabricate" one for you using cardboard and masking tape. Trust me bro, my bother uses these hoses on his 8 second RX3.

Fully.

Richard

Well boys - it lives.

As it turned out, I had a 90 deg reducer bend left over from one of the other turbos I had on my car at some stage :)

So it's running - I took it for a burn tonight - boost comes on heaps earlier - I can tell cause the BOV makes heaps more noise, and earlier, compared to when the 3040 was on.

My dash lights are all busted (fuse I think and havent been f'ed fixing it), so I couldn't see tacho and boost guage - tomorrow , I'll get a much better idea of what is happening.

Quick tune to make sure everything is in order and lets see what happens.

Shit I have learned a lot about turbos doing all of this.

You can theorise all you want - but see shit for yourself really drives home the differences in compressor size, AR, turbine size and what effects these have on the charactaristcs of your turbo/engine combination.

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
