Hi guys,

I want to put a catch can on my R32GTR, and they have NO space in the engine bay...

So was considering swapping to a narrow battery such as an Odyssey

http://www.horsepowerinabox.com/HPIAB2/cat...ategory59_1.htm

"Odyssey Battery 650 amps CCA 245a 183mmx78mmx187mm"

and putting a catch can next to it.

*Is anyone using one?

*Do they have enough capacity for everyday work (i have no high current draining audio etc)?

*I'm confused is this a 650 cranking amp of 245CCA battery?

Any other suggestions?

Cheers,

Marcus

yeah my odyssey battery left me up town with a flat battery on many occasions .i moved my battery to the boot & put in a century battery thats lasted 2 years so far :wavey:

wonder how hard to relocate the battery to the boot?

this is a very good idea for reduce weight of the front

i have an odysee in my gtr it was a 700 cranking amp unit and the problem with oddysee's is they dont maintain there cranking output for very long, as soon as you crank it over for more than 5 seconds they loose there power so quick mine runs flat after about 20-30 seconds of cranking which is a pain with aftermarket fuel pumps. I now run the optima which is a biiger unit in size but still 700 ca and it never runs out it is far superior in my opinion!!!

An Odyssey 650 is not actually 650CCA's more like 250CCA. Some sealed batteries (such as the Odysseys) are misleading in that sense.

It shouldn't take a car 30 secs to start anyway :D Also, you should wait until the fuel pump relay stops priming before starting.

NXTIME I know to let the pumps prime up but another problem i had was with some aftermarket computers such as motec, haltecs and autronic they run a full cycle pre sensor which means they let the car crank over a few times then info goes back to the computer then they send out the injector and spark pulses ect. very difficult when you have alot of stuff especially in a GTR for the little lead batteries to keep up. Just to clarify my earlier post not having a go at anyone!!

strange, i was running a 810wrms amp (2 type-r 12"s) in a datsun stanza with a crap altinator using the odessy 800 battery and never had a problem. it was the only battery i didnt have a problem with. only one that gave my starter motor enough power to start first time every time (bigger startermotor due to commpresion and lightning mods).

As previously stated, the Odyssey 650CCA rating is only a starting pulse for a few seconds.

IMHO Odyssey batteries are very average in terms of performance, quality, aftersales service (personal experience) and especially reliablity. I had one Odyssey drop a cell in just 6mths... this is not that uncommon.

In my experience the Optima range is vastly superior!

    • 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)?
