nah i havnt yet R31power but i plan too,only thing is i gotta put it on the dyno to check a/f ratios on high boost,also i gotta check out if theres any pressure drop in the pipeing

Inark the pipeing cost me all up around $90,and the radiator hose and clamps cost me $40 so all up around $130-150

only thing is its better to gas weld or tig weld it,i could with your help work out all the pipeing ill tack it into place then u could get some1 with a tig to weld it nicely

also the pod filter i got it for cheap,plus i liked it cause it kinda acts like a heat shield i gotta get some ducting into the end of it to make it more effective

me and Driftzor have decided to do mine in a couple of weeks using a similar method but when its all ready to fit im going to get them chromed....

ive got a mig welder at home which we can use and grinders and stuff.... should be fun... will be taking lots of pics as we go.

Not bad mate. May I offer you some constructive critisim....Your radiator pipe will last about a month or two then you will suffer a nasty eruption of hot water and coolent. The engine moves a lot more than you may realise and this will rub on the hose. Because the hose you have chosen has wire running through it this will make the effect worse. Unfortunately there probably isn't much you can do other than using some straight metal pipe and some tight 90 degree rubber bends to mate it up. I could be wrong but the same thing happened to my install and the hose wasn't actually touching when it just sat there but once the engine moved it starts to rub. All I can say is keep an eye on it OFTEN..:(

The other thing is did you run some weld around the ends of all the pipes you made to stop boost presure from blowing them off ?

Finally, try getting your pipes powder coated, that lot should only cost about $40 and it is a much tuffer finish than paint.

Great effort and good on you for having a shot at it yourself, this is what modifing cars is all about.

thanks Boostmeister this is the type of replys i need,well alot of ppl need. The more info the better, i actually thought of it rubbing but didnt really think it would matter that much but ill have to put some more thought into it,also im trying to get a custom plenum made up with the throttlebody at the front,and also make the pipeing out of ally at the same time,as this will reduce lag a little and also look a treat.

And yeah i have thought about putting the pod underneath i probably will do this in the next few weeks when i have some spare time,also i could put all the plastic covers back in to stop crap from going into the pod :(

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
