Hi Eric i have been us the same turbo only internally gated Wolf 550 ecu with 660cc injectors kelford cams running on Australian 98 ron unleaded fuel with forged bottom end and Lewis ported and flowed stage 3 head at 473hp at wheels with 15 pounds boost for the past 9+ years and i have next zero lag and always fun to drive. I cant see any reason for you not getting the output numbers your wanting.

Never seen this happen twice i would guess parts taken beyond manufactures specks if it were me i would have the next knuckle joint shot peened to try and make it stronger just like you would have your con rods shot peened good luck with it

Didnt know GTR's came in left hand drive and my 1995 gtst is very quiet with just the turbo whine rear wing bending towards the bootlid at 200 plus kms but my car does have a full complete set of door Boot rubbers installed a few years ago

Hi i wouldnt wast my time trying to get more boost out of your stock turbo because if the inlet wheel disintergrates into a few hundred peices and exits the manifold into the engine causing lots of internal damage not to mention the shock to your wallet.With something like an Hypergear turbo which are not to expensive you wont have to worry about a stock turbo disintergrating and destroying your engine. I have been using a Hypergear turbo on my setup for the past 10 years with no problems and consistantly makes good power.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but it sounds like it is going to cost a lot of money even a stuffed motor has a bit of compression.

GTSBoy is spot on its only use is a boat anchor any money spent on it would be pure waste cut your losses before you start

Yes the Red back spiders are a problem in the country area Even the surface spray doesnt last that long. Last year even had a big green tree frog get expelled out of exhaust tail pipe after start up dead of course dont think it liked the BP ultimate fuel.

Some battery places should be able to smelt on a new battery post for you

About 3yrs ago the timing belt shedded on my VK holden RB30/25 reason unknown belt replaced no problems since also have a r33 RB25 and never had any problem with it i mostly answere question in which i have had personal problems with VK i have had for 27 years r33 had for 15 years so i have done a lot of kms with them

Use a long screw drive or something like on and use it a a stethescope and press it on to several different parts of the front covers to determine where the noise is coming from it does sound like some sort of interference of one of the front covers. What condition is your timing belt in hope its not starting to desintergrate as i dont know what condition your engine is in and how many kms it has done for the engine all of a sudden starting to make this noise i would be removing the top cover and inspecting that space and rotating the engine to inspect the belt because if it breaks you will need deep pockets to fix

What about your throttle position switch did it get wet and maybe not letting ecu seeing it in a closed when starting the engine just a thought

does you car have an igniter for the coil packs

I was wondering as i was thinking of rebuilding another engine for my vk holden i currently use a nitto pump in my r33 was just wondering if anyone had any info on them

Hi i have seen ads on ebay Speedmaster RB30 Billet Oil Pump w/ 4340 Billet Gears has anyone tried these pumps and are they any good i have seen them for sale elsewhere for over a thousand us dollars
