I am currentlly using 7's... Found them to be a bit iffy....

Until i did my front mount... Now their tops...

But i feel with a bit more boost i will have to go up a range again due to heat....

well guys.... its done. I've bolted the turbo back on...and it was a complete....

SUCCESS~!!!

I managed to take it for a bit of a run but its hardcause its pouring rain here and I can't hook up, but with little load cause its spinning, I am now reaching full boost at 3400rpm.

Starts spooling at about 2500rpm, and FULL BOOST BY 3400 f**kING RPM

great eh?

Car feels about 500000 times better. I just can't wait till it dries up and I can get some traction.

The shed we did the work in is a large circle so they can work on trucks and truck can turrn around in etc and its bitumen... So yeah... To celebrate, I cut some rings in the wet cause i was happy... oh and at full boost at 3400rpm... :D:):O

yeah, anyway, this setup really goes well now. LKike really really well. Just need a bit more boost and some better fuel and I should have as much power as I want..

so yeah - time for some "8" heat range plugs, a bit more boost, and some water methanol injection.

Any questions??

:O

f**ken happy right here...........

That's brilliant. I suspected it would liven things up a fair amount response wise. Let us know how it goes with the top end power. Hopefully the power won't "nose over" and die in the last 1000rpm.

What is full boost at this point?

How does it feel to drive? Progressive or coming on with a rush?

So its basicly a hiflow now..

No. Its a Garret GT30 Core, with a TO4S 7 blade 52mm trimmed wheel sitting in a .7 compressor cover.

The RB25 Exhaust housing is rated at .63, internally gated, ground out to fit the GT30 core. Far from a high fow.

yay!

gotta love response. So the big question now is: when's the tune?

Well, I'll go and see the tuner on monday and get it booked in, probably another week or hopefully it will be done by the end of the week.

I wonder if they completely stuffed the machining of the vg30 turbine housing, causing it to be a pos. ? :(

Maybe they overgroundthis one to make more top end and create less restriction? Apparently its a common technique, they overgrind to make room so that the housing doesn't become too restrictive.

Can't really tell the top end power, as all the power has dropped off a fair bit because I will assume the powerfc is using a completly different set of load points. ie, more air and a lower rpm means it will be lower down on the map earlier in the revs, and I doubt those load points have been tuned properly. I'll have to get it sorted.

Feels about 50 times better to drive, starts spooling at about 2700rpm and the boost guage rises so much faster, and 15psi at 3400rpm - 3600rpm.

But the power feels a little more progressive.

I'd assume this will be good for about 250rwkw until the housing becomes restrictive?

All I'm after :P

back to the plug issue - Does anyone see a problem with me skipping the "7" heat range plug and going straight to an "8" range plug?

I'm not sure what I should get, 7's or 8's.

Aiming for about 17psi and about 230rwkw until I can get the water methanol kit.

Don't want to kill my motor...

but what about 8's? Will they work too? Or will they give me hassles?

And is it worth going to 8's if there is a heaps bigger improvement? Or should I just stick with 7's?

I don't think you will see some massive improvement just through a change in the heat range. Try one range cooler than stock. A set of copper plugs is quite cheap and if the results are promising, THEN try two ranges cooler. It's about balancing the compromise between improving high rpm/load ignition but avoiding plug fouling.

I've left the valley cover off my engine after shelling out for a set of Splitfires to allow them to cool. Also makes it much, much easier to access plugs. Downside is that if you wash down the engine you have to be very careful not to drown the coils.

yeah I wanted to do that, but they discontinued all of the copper range with the heat rating of "7" etc and only kept the platnium range. So if I want to change the plugs, its gonna cost me $20 per plug.

Sucks ass. I think they saw that one coming.

Wish I could source a simple $4 plug that fits a skyline and runs the "7" heat range

    • 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)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
