Im just after peoples experiences after changing head gasket to drop comp ratio so more boost can be run safely.

I will be looking at a drop down from 9:1 to 8.6:1 on my rb25, worried about it becoming sluggish off boost, im really happy with how responsive it is now. Can anyone whos dropped to 8.6 tell me how noticeable it is?

Also after some results of cam changes, did a search but couldnt find anything. Sydneykid has posted some about the poncams, but id like to hear from someone whos done the HKS256in 8.8mm lift/264ex 9.0mm lift, and the resultant gains there.

thanks

hi SK, well i was told "with cams and more boost you'll see 300rwkw"

so i dont know exactly how much boost, but was thinking around 1.5bar. This is with a 2835proS thats currently making ~265rwkw on i believe 1.1bar with stock cams and compression.

So basically id love to see the 300rwkw mark if possible!

If you go for a ride in a skyline with all the usual modification's - R33 GTS-T

Stock turbo, Dumpipe, exhaust, cooler, 12 psi etc etc... and one has lower comp with 1.2mm HeadGasket other has stock, i've noticed that the one with the lower compression takes about 300rpm longer before the turbo starts spooling and comes on full boost.

Eg:

Stock comp ratio might start at 2200rpm and on full boost by 35000rpm

Lower comp engine starts spooling at 2500rpm hits full at 3800rpm

Its nothing too noticable but drivability is fine :D

I hope that give's you some sort of idea !

:P

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
