Upgraded Fuel System Questions
MagicMikeZ32 replied to WantGTR's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
Didn't realise you had purchased already. Agree it can look how it looks as long as it does the job. For me if I was going it, I'd pay the little extra for the nice stuff I don't have anything against raceworks, I use a shitheap of their fittings and lines in my car. Something as prominent as a surge tank in the boots tho...- 59 replies

Upgraded Fuel System Questions
MagicMikeZ32 replied to WantGTR's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
I don't like the idea of staged pumps, especially with ethanol. Seen enough he said/she said where the 2nd pump giving up prematurely. Also, if your regulator isn't up to task you will get a spike in pressure when the 2nd pump kicks in. Having said that, I also don't like the idea of running both pumps full time due to heat. For these reasons, I run both my pumps (edit: not sequentially, derr) in parallel via a 100amp solid state relay, off PWM from the ecu (G4+). It works fantastically.- 59 replies

Funny you should mention that... Since I have replaced the foglights with the carbon ducts, night viability is terrible without high beams, so I have plans to do something to supplement the low beams (and also the parkers that are supposed to live in the foglights). But I am a while off a mountain run so no great rush to start on that. -

haha I agree 100%, just not in my car and I would like to be able to see again shortly after I turn them off, which as it stands, I can't. It is that bright. I was quite surprised as they are the same series as the green ones, and they are pleasant. -

better pic of the LEDs. Red one will be configured via ECU, not sure what I will use that for yet -

Thankyou! Once I have settled on the setup and finished it all up I will add some more details and pics of the whole thing. -

Bit of an update. Car is now running on the link G4+, with crank trigger and modified CAS. Have a new sync trigger to install that replaces the CAS altogether, but haven't got there yet. Going to be removing the AEM widebands and replace them with Ecotrons ALM CAN II. Received them yesterday so no more excuses. Also been working on an in car pc/dash setup which is basically complete. It is a little bit rougher than I'd like but still pretty happy with how it turned out. Will fine tune the display as I go, was just a quick layout to define the size. The blue LED for highbeam is way too bright (even with twice the resistance of the green indicators) so I will have to do something there. Have some different LED's with a diffused face in transit, so they might work better, even tho I do like the chrome bezel on these. Basic setup is as follows. 7in Win 10 touchscreen mini pc in centre console (armrest), dash screen is the 2nd display and is a usb powered raspberry pi hdmi 7in. Software is the regular PClink. car pc dash small day.mp4 Fuel setup has also been changed. All fuelab products removed. They were the source of some intermittent delivery issues I was having. Working just enough to send me on a massive wild goose chase changing everything else. Anyway, settled for now on twin 460's in tank, no surge tank anymore, turbosmart FPR2000 and a Radium damper. -
Ati Harmonic Balancers For Rb26 In A Bnr32
MagicMikeZ32 replied to AtomicBomberMan's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
Don't know, I'm asking. We do overdrive water pump pulleys with underdriven balancers, to speed the pumps back up, seems logical to do the reverse -
Ati Harmonic Balancers For Rb26 In A Bnr32
MagicMikeZ32 replied to AtomicBomberMan's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
Why not an underdrive pulley on the air con side to slow it back down? -
Came across this while searching for info on balance tube design/function on the VG30. Some might be interested. Nissan_GTR_VR38DETT_paper.pdf

Which should I go with GTX2863, 2530, or 2860-5
MagicMikeZ32 replied to Trailmix's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
Nothing wrong with twin turbo V motors either -
CAS is fine and offers fantastic data to the ECU on a stockish motor. Start throwing heavy valve springs and cams and you start having issues
-
Far more popular in the US. Plenty of good ECU's getting around with better local support.
-
I haven't used one, but I have one BNIB if you are interested! They are a direct replacement for 044 (why I bought it in the first place, but changed directions). Not e85 compatible. Well maybe, but not for long haha
-
You can use TPS, or maf as feed to the fuelab pump. Or you can use the fuelab 529 series regulator. Or any other 0-5v or PWM. Or a simple open/earth switch or hobbs etc etc.

Innovate Vs Aem - Wideband Kits?
MagicMikeZ32 replied to Dan_J's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
I have my AEM widebands wired up like this. Works well. -
Big fuel pump choice with e85
MagicMikeZ32 replied to James_03's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
I have a spare fuelab 42401 i would sell. I use one as my external -
Funny you should mention that. I recently got 2 x $30 jobbies, both duds. Ended up getting a $120 one that is ethanol compatible (was for fuel pressure). You can get Honeywell sensors for ~$60

Number of blades on a turbine - cause/effect
MagicMikeZ32 replied to djvoodoo's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
I don't recommend cutting off any blades to get more top end -
Hey Dale! Long time no speak. Zed still not running (well it is, but only while the fuel pump stays running, can't work out why it keeps cutting out).
-
Yes, for the current spec link plug ins tho, as you can see there are 2 exp ports, with only exp 2 having temp inputs.

All good, as long as you have it under control
