Hi all..

I want to know how much boost I can run with what I've done to the motor..

I will be getting a stand alone management system soon but here is what has been done..

I've put forged pistons in (Weisco 8.4 comp).. shot peened the rods, ARP rod bolts, balanced and polished crank, everything has been balanced, new rings of course, bored and honed, square decked. ARP head studs, port and polished head, standard cams, re ground valves, standard springs, hi flowed the turbo (capable of up to about 250kw at the wheels), front mount intercooler, 3 inch exuast.

(I havent got upraged fuel injectors yet but will be doing so, just not sure what to get yet)... I have a series 1 skyline but apparently when I took my turbo in, the guy said it was a series 2 turbo, maybe the whole motor is series 2 which means the injectors will be. I've heard that the series 2 injectors flow alot better!..

Anyway, what you think guys??

injectors are same for series 1 or 2. your bulder should have given you a power target and boost level. you will need an aftermarket ecu and injectors before you can up the boost pressure. also what exhaust? 3inch what? what dump? what front? what cat? what air intake have u got?

Well that's interesting caus I was told series 2 had better injectors... hhmmm...

Standard intake atm, dunno brand of exuast, mandrel bend, yeah, i'm aware that you need bigger injectors, aftermarket ecu, etc... I've done my homework.. I think I'll just run 15psi when it's setup correctly...

The machinist aren't building my engine.. I'm doing it myself with my cousin (who builds engines quite a bit.. they are just preping the block and parts...

exhaust will make a big difference to your final output and how it runs so don't just seelte for "should be good enough" find out. you should have at least a 3" split dump system hiflow cat and 3" catback.

series 2 injectors are same as series 1, 370cc will max out after 200rwkw

well over 300rwkw easily supported on that setup, considering you have forgies and lowered compression ratio from standard.

get some good cams and just add boost from a decent size turbo and watch the power skyrocket :O

      S1 headlights?

      It might be worth having a good look at the chassis behind the bumper then; most people prefer the series 2 look so it might have been changed to cheaper parts as part of an earlier repair

      The car itself a series 2. I was just curious about the headlights and just wanted to confirm that they were series 1. Good to know the rest of the front end is series 1. It鈥檒l be easier for me to find parts on the aftermarket side of things lol

      If you've wired up the coils & injectors properly, & have the neo CAS loom for the trigger, it should all work. The VCT works the same way so just different plugs between s1 & neo. Assuming DBW if no IAC. Don't bother with the stock boost solenoid with g4x.

      THERE IS NO IAT SENSOR ON ANY SINGLE TURBO RB. And the one on an RB26 is not for "engine control" - it's really too big and too slow and is only used for over-temp alarming (as far as I can tell). Anyway, you don't have one. You want/need one for the Link, then you need to buy one, find a spot for it, and wire it in. You do know that the stock boost solenoid is not capable of "control", right? It is merely on or off, for the low boost (5 psi) and high boost (7psi), which the ECU enforces mostly based on gear. The stock solenoid is not for PWM control and is not plumbed up in a way to provide it. If you want to control boost properly, then you need a proper MAC valve. And yes, you can wire either of them direct to the ECU. Well, I assume you can - I don't know what the boost solenoid pins on the plug and play Link are capable of. They really should be as capable as any normal Link - but seeing as it is plg and play, it might be limited to stock functionality. Read the doco.   You really do just want to plug stuff together without understanding how it works, right? I can't help you there. I don't know the plug types or pinning on half the stuff you're asking about. If I had to do it I would sit down with the wiring diagrams, the car/looms and a multimeter and work out what is what.
