Fair enough

PM me if you want, keen to know. Not saying they are dodgy, just would be nice to know in case I ever want to take my car there

Shaun knows his Microtech's, I'm sure he will get it how you want it. Freebaggin has had his Microtech for about 3-4 years now, had great success with it, with stock turbo/injector setup to now with big injectors/turbo etc. 300+rwkw out of a stock RB25, Shaun must be doing something right!

Might pay to go and have a chat with him and get his opinion, he has all the laptop stuff there for Microtech. Even pay for a quick dyno/afr run and see where your car is at, might be ok

HRthirtyone,

Head down to Boostworx, tell him its running lean blah blah, chances are he will charge you stuff all... If it takes 1hr then he will charge you 1hr dyno time. So it might end up costing $100 or so.

Dont be upset if the boostworx dyno reads a tad lower, it has a tendency to do so.:P

BUT for a simple power run you can't go past blackwood auto and dyno.. $35 is stuff all.

yea i rekon im easy to convince... ill drive past one day after work & have a chat.

I may have over reacted a tad because it would cost over 2grand just to change the setup to power Fc, and i dont exactly drive it every day anyway...

Chris32-it says in ur sig that u were @ boostworx dyno day, i was on my way down there to check it out about a month ago, when i broke my bloody clutch bracket in 5 lanes of traffic!!!!! had 3 nosey/helpful cops pull over, and about 5 pass me in the 45min i was waiting for a tow...... i was sweatin up about getting defectd but it didnt happen! you wouldnt read about it!! but yer 191.4kw there is like 215kw @ tilbrooks

Yeah, it mine makes ok power for the turbo it has. I'd like to run at tilbrooks just to see what it is on there. I'd always like more, but meh, got other things to spend my money on ATM!

If you can, drop by and see Shaun, he's a top bloke and a decent tuner too. One thing that is for sure, the ECU is only as good as the tuner, and Shaun is good. Since its not a daily driver I'd keep the Microtech, and get the tune sorted. You already have a decent ECU, why bother swapping!

If it is running that lean, I'd take it pretty easy, you can't tell if its knocking with the Microtech, so its up to your ears to hear it

Whatisname also runs a Microtech tuned by Shaun, makes around 300rwkw also

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
