I was just thinking... If it worked really well... Would you consider purchasing it?

lol

Seriously... If you already have oil and water lines made up, you'lljust need to change the fittings..

Hey Jono, so how'd things turn out for ya, its a shame to see things not going to plan.. I reckon you should a least go and see Pratty, for that second opinion.... can't hurt can it? that and i'm good mates with a guy for the airport that flys a helicopter so avgas isn't that hard to come by if you wanted to try some for a tune... (although it's not exactly a cost effective solution)..

That or you could start from scratch with a LINK :( 229kw's stock turbo....

I don't want to push any buttons here cause i was just trying to offer any help (and a light stab), but wasn't 2rismo pulling beyond that kinda power on a stock turbo... (sure NOS helps but......)

I really cant see why 229 is such a stretch on a Link when i said stock turbo, i never said what i had done to the rest of the car...(nor did say it was a safe power figure and may not live very long, however driven sedately enough anything will last) but i'm sure if went and spoke to Grant, jono he would be happy to back that up....

but what? a 100hp shot of nos is a 100hp shot of nos.

Of course its going to give you a gain.

at the end of the day, 230rwkw from a stock turbo is 100% bullsh|t mate unless there is something other than pump fuel or other additives. Even then... :O

Please tell us how a link ECU can strech the power well past what the turbo pyshically can make, and has been proven to make in how many 100's of cars... maye even 1000's of cars?

If its running AFR's of death to achieve "magical numbers", then thats hardly the ECU, thats a muppet tuner/owner. A "Link" is not magically going to see an improvement at all.

Its not a better ECU, its worse.

okay i don't want to turn this thread into an all out war, but i didn't say that a Link was a better ecu, or that only the link was only thing on my car, or that i was on pump fuel, or anything like that... I really don't care what the better ECU is, a link is what i've got and it works well.... very well infact.... Either way i'm not going to argue, my first post was just to see how Jono's car was going and any help i could offer, yeah i threw in a dig, what's so bad about that....

Just something to think on, if you built a 230kw All motor skyline then added a stock turbo, wouldn't that be a 230kw skyline with a stock turbo.... the point i want to try and get across was you can't bag anyone out that you don't know personally, because you just don't know what they've done to there car....

PEACE....

Why so secretive? I don't even know who you are....

230rwkw.. on a stock turbo..hmm.. To get that you're looking at 15psi plus and its a known fact that the stcok turbo will turn its turbine wheel to dust at this type of psi, and its doing as much as a hairdryer would do anyway at this level of boost.

Cams - I think you could get 230rwkw with cams, link and stock turbo.. I don't think the turbo would last long?..

hhmm

Anyone care to elaborate on what I've posted? Could you get 230rwkw on a stock turbo and cams?

Don't forget, that if this person knows me and lives in mackay, he's be using pump grade 95 ron fuel, and its shit house quality.

So yeah, I dunno..

I still dunno why so secretive..

I've made 220rwkw at 14psi but my torque figure has gone up quite a lot. Pulls like a train now, Should be able to get 12's with traction. I doubt I'll get traction though.

Waiting for garrets nice little .63 ex internal gate housing, I'll grab that and fit it, and get some water meth to fix my fuelling problem.

Also, I am getting a second opinion or tuner to fix the mess. I still think its fuel though.

Av gas and I can be running 270rwkw... :)

boost does not make more power period. on a stock turbo over 12psi is just more and more and more and more heat, no more power. youll throw the compressor out of its efficiency zone and throw in stacks more heat. the dyno figures can be "mislead" by various tricks with air temp sensor. i can make my car make 230rwkw also by sticking the air temp sensor in my hand with a cigarette lighter held to it, all of a sudden the air intake is 60deg and ambient is 20deg (lets pretend) standard shootout mode, throw in correction and hey presto 230rwkw.

its not possible period

elaborate as much to say the stock turbo is flowing 2/10's of F*CK ALL above 12/13psi.

you can crank it upto 18psi if you wanted too, doesnt mean its going to make anymore power.

Just something to think on, if you built a 230kw All motor skyline then added a stock turbo,

what on earth are you talking about? :P

update:

Managed to get a standard RB25 exhaust housing and dropped it into the turbo dude in mackay here. On Sunday, I am going to remove my GT30 and drop it into him on monday and he is going to grind up the RB25 housing to fit. I told him to grind it as little as possible to fit in the turbine. He said he needs to leave 100thou clearance for heat expansion.

So, yeah, the weekend after australia day, saturday morning first thing, I'll be re-fitting the turbo...

Hope it works out.........

Also, I am getting him to measure up the VG30 housing against the grinded RB25 to see if the VG30 has been overground.

Will be interesting to see.

While the turbo is off, I am going to fit the "7" heat range plugs (cooler plugs) to see if it stops a little bit of pinging. Maybe I'll get 3 or 4 degrees advance into it from that.

We'll see.

I was told the colder plugs will only affect starting, and when they are cold, I might have to crank it over one extra revolution before it fires.

Anyone got any extra input?

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
