I think you are missing the point. Quoted torque @ rpm is the only way anyone has any idea of how the car is going to drive without actually driving it. Everyone has those figures, it's a standard. If a manufacturer didn't quote them they would never sell. That's why they quote them. You can't quote power at 1300rpm because it's not important. Torque is what tells you how quickly the engine overcomes the weight of the car + any other resistance against it's acceleration. The power it makes then makes absolutely no difference to how well it will accelerate

Oscilloscope Learn the frequency of the knock you are seeing and you will recognise it every time. Either that or get your car tuned at EFI performance and you'll never have to worry about knock ever again

Yeah and what does the bosch pump flow at the same voltage? Apples for apples here. The 200lph on the bosch pump is at 12v and at 5bar The 255lph on the walbroken is at 12v but at 3bar put the Walbroken on 5 bar and its 170-180lph at 12v crank the bosch up to 14v and it'll be closer to 240lph at 5 bar. The Walbro isn't a bad pump but I'd rather have my fuel pumps piss it in rather than just make it over the line

I think it's actually 170l/ph according to their own flow chart

Spot on!!

absolutely Yeah man, I'm just saying coz I hear it too often. I think the point I was trying to make was that it doesn't matter about hp or torque....at the end of the day if you enjoy how the car feels to you, then the number it makes on paper doesn't mean anything. As for racing etc, yes it is more important to have the right setup for whatever event you take part in but for the general consumer I think the most important thing is how it feels to drive

With all due respect to everyone in this thread, what is wrong with wanting a shit load of hp? Some ppl like to go fast around a race circuit. Some ppl like to go fast in a straight line. Some ppl like to go fast sideways. Some ppl like to go fast in circles. Others like to make a lot of hp and have not much care for going fast around corners. What is wrong with that? They are no less of a fanatic than you or I. Why is it E-wang or Dyno queen when referring to these ppl? Each person gets something different out of their car. Who are we to judge how they enjoy it? At any rate, who cares about hp or torque just enjoy your damn car!!

Yeah it's a heat exchanger Nissan has one factory fitted to the Skyline. Dunno whether it would work as well as an Air cooled one but I guess every bit helps

What about the timing belt tensioner bearing or idler? If the front timing cover is bent or buckled in ANY way then the damage is a result of the accident. I would normally charge 2-2.5hrs for a belt/bearing change (seals and water pump are obviously extras) and your average workshop would charge around $90-$100/hr. The bearings are gonna cost approx $150-$200 for the pair

If you are turning the CAS with the IGN on and you are not getting spark or injector pulse, then your CAS is the problem. Is the CAS getting a FULL 12v?

Dunno what we're gonna do yet mate. I do know we are pulling the fresh engine out to see if any damage occurred as a result. Here's hoping for the best.

It's probably not fair for you to comment on the past turbos because Garrett aren't the ones necessarily at fault. Bolting on a different brand is not necessarily going to fix the problem. Garrett don't make shit. They have a 0.1% failure rate due to manufacturing faults. It all comes down to what has happened to them while they are on the car or after something else has gone wrong. The first two were shortly after engine failures. The next two had massive chunks missing from the compressor blades prior to them failing. At any rate, Noel is already having a fairly hard time dealing with it so I'm just going to give him as much support as he needs to get it on the track again. He certainly doesn't deserve to have so many let go. I'm just trying to point out that it's not always cut and dry like most ppl think.

Something better than dinosaur technology would be preferred

Yeah we are removing it now to send it off to Garrett to find out why. The last 3 turbos all failed for legitimate reasons. I'm expecting this one to be the same. It's a damn shame but we'll see what they say. Considering he's got sonic stickers all over the car I hope they give him a free one. If not then I'm sure he'll move to turbonetics or something journal based. He certainly doesn't need to worry about response

^^ +1

Sounds like something an EVO driver would say

It goes like a speeding bullet shot from a speeding bullet train

Noel is officially part of the 400kw club. Just pulled a 547.5hp run. don't know if they're finished yet....I had to get back to finish putting some engines together. The setup I drove home on last night hadn't had the EGT's done yet so this morning we installed them and sent it back. Temps were at 600deg so Sean decided to give it some more. Same boost as well. Drag's tomorrow so fingers crossed my baby holds together like the rest of them. I'm sure Noel will post final results when they are done but he's had a pretty long day so if he doesn't then I will

Because no one we buy from knew anything about them and the teflon braid was a lot more expensive. Purely a $ decision

Just so you know also, the thread size for the diff/gearbox drain plugs should be 3/4 BSPT. I'll measure a second one hopefully today to confirm 100%

I drove it home and back to work again this morning. My only comment on the matter will be As for smell Nismoid - smells like lollipops every time you put your foot down and after sitting over night it smells like sugar cane mulch but much less pungent in the cabin. I left lollipops all down the highway in 4th

381rwkw is the highest we could get it. Yes Gervase the air temp sensor is on the wall and you know why it is. The boost falls over in the top end as the housing on the turbo is just too small. 1psi pressure drop in the cooler and an identical line it follows. 14 degrees of timing added in places where it used to be 0. Going to put the EGT's on tomorrow to see what time she'll run on Saturday. 4th gear is happy in the pants on the highway too Sees 1 bar at 3450rpm and 24psi at around 3800rpm but the graph doesn't show it due to the curve in the corner when the gate tries to catch up

Sound like one? He frickin is one! Oh and I forgot to mention the Pierburg pumps are a pull/push pump so no prime pump required if you don't need a surge tank

The silly old man did the clamps on the hose thing. I have already removed them and will shove them up his ass at the earlieast opportunity.

http://www.bosch.com.au/content/language1/...s/fuelpumps.pdf On the bosch website.....but yes as stated above at 12v I would expect around 220 (maaaaaybe 240Lph) at 14V
