Well I've been hell slack on the forums latley, don't think I've posted in over a month, so here's a quick update coz I know ya'll missed me! (or at least raggin on me haha)

Here's some pics of the rebuild process, mmmm shiny stuff.

First, the block, honed and bored

Then, close up of exhaust ports after porting and polishing

The head all pretty and clean

My poor clutch, it didn't like 4wd launches much haha

and some shiny new pistons with teflon skirts and valve recesses, hopefull I won't bend another valve...though, knowing me :headspin:

ETA of about a month I guess, depends how long it takes Amaru to get a new cooler *hint hint*

Well, I just had land on my desk the turbo for Marks VR4... and holy mother of god its big :D Its a customised Garrett GT3071R and a big thanks goes to Luch from Tune Agent (www.tuneagent.com) for organising the turbo at an awesome price ($700 cheaper than GCG, and anywhere else locally!). I wont go into how much power it can make, but it is a reasonably sized turbo, and the final results should be very damn impressive :D

Anyways heres the pics...

Pic #3

Pic #4 (even the hoff rates it :D )

thats pretty fricking big for such a small engine isnt it ??? will be interested to see what power you get out of it and how much boost you decide to run that thing should be able to handle a fair bit by the looks of it.

:rofl: I dont know if Mark wants to keep it secret or not, but it should be very well matched to the engine.

    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
