    The lines are 8mm, the fittings are 9.5mm so I may have to heat the hoses a bit.

    ^ this. There is no edge to the sump.

    It depends how long they were out of the car, it doesn't cost much to get them cleaned and tested anyway.

    That loose earth could be the cause of your problems. Get that fixed first.

    I did tell him a VQ25det would have been a better choice. I don't think he's interested in corners, drag only.
  6. scotty nm35
    His was NA, but I have a spare one here somewhere...

    Nice. I fit a 1J into a T18 Corrolla for a mate a couple of months ago. No engineers cert required for that over here apparently. lol.

    I'm just doing an inline one, brass bspt barbed air fittings for the trans hose and 1/8 bspt for the sender thread. I only plan to monitor the trans temps, but the other inline sender for the new -12 engine oil cooler lines will control the thermo fan. (its mounted right behind the engine oil cooler.) I will get some pics when I re-install the engine.

    Haha, let me hit the 350kw goal first. lol.

    I can help with your addiction... I would prescribe another 100kw to put that smile back on your face, but power costs money and lots of it. (as i'm sure your gtr mate has found out.) And you cant control what you have now... Back driving yet?

    Petrol is bad for your motor, not ethanol. lol.

    I stopped using my filling drum a while back when a few more local United and Caltex stations popped up. Birds gave me a 44g oil drum and I modified the sealed caps, fitting an air regulator and servo nozzle for silent and fast filling. It worked a treat. I have it here still if someone local wants one cheap.

    The twin scroll .78 housing is pretty small for the 76 compressor though isn't it? It may be laggier but strangling it wont help the top end, the GTX results can't be compared to a T4 1.06 TS anyway. Shame they didn't try similar AR's, I wonder what the manifold differences were...
  14. scotty nm35
    Great result Artz, 210kw at 4k is unbelievable and i'm happy to see you cracked your 300kw goal.

    Final boost levels depend on the pressure in the exhaust manifold and the size of the wastegate so every setup is different. I have a fabrication job on at the moment, split pulse GT3076 on a 6boost running twin 40mm turbosmart gates. Not much room down there, I hope he has the right springs in them...

    Can you borrow a matched set of tyres? They need to be exactly the same tread depth and rolling diameter, if you have different sized tyres or rims that would cause it too. It's an easy test anyway to rule it out. The torque converter should lock in other gears too, does it do it then?
  17. scotty nm35
    Is ours the same part as the r34 gtr? There are a few aftermarket ones available for GTR's now, perhaps one of them would be a cheaper and better option?

    I just installed ARP L19 studs in my VQ as the standard rod bolts have a bad habit of stretching under power and lifting the head at around 500hp. The extra tension on these should help over the standard ARP's. Bolts actually twist when you tension them down, and in my case they can damage the alloy thread as you tighten them, studs with arp lube are a much better idea.

    Considering the compressor can probably flow 400kw of course it will be late coming on, but it should still be hitting 20psi by around 4k with the .82. There are countless reasons it may be late spooling but if you work through them you should be able to achieve that. Don't drop back to the .63, you are better off swapping the whole turbo for a gt3071 imo If you feel its too laggy.
  20. scotty nm35
    That's the main issue, are you sure its coming on that late? You should be able to spin up a gt35 before that... Find a big hill and ramp 4th gear up it with someone else watching the boost? First and second will always take longer to spool.

    If the connections look fine at the splice and the ecu and the plug isn't corroded then you have no other choice but to test another AFM, I have one here you can try but where are you located?
  22. scotty nm35
    I guess if the setup is fine and it's just that the compression is too high then a quick tune on E85 would prove it. That way you would have both maps also so you could swap between them.
  23. scotty nm35
    Essentially they are all required to be the same rolling diameter, not just the same axle. I heard 1.5%. Have you tried swapping them to the rear?
  24. scotty nm35
    Of course, a blocked cat/collapsed muffler would make it very flat also but dropping the exhaust is the first thing I would have done, while it was still on the dyno. What is the intake like?
  25. scotty nm35
    They look like well worn KU36's, still mostly legal but nearly down to the tread wear indicators. 235 x 45 17's but they fit more like 265's as they are made wider for some reason. They are still on the rims though, what do you want them for? I have some other tyres here too, Federal 595's you could have cheap. I'm in Hampton Park, are you local? Drop in and check them out.
