I know this is not really helpful to you but I think it's only a matter of time - and not much of it - until someone blows an engine using these things. They get cheaper and cheaper and shitter and shitter. Now back to the point of the thread. Dunno sorry, I've got a GTR pump.

I was saying that there are no 440cc injectors for the NEO. Nismo make 480cc but as Stan says, there are other options. Sending a pm about the clutch.

Nismo 480cc injectors. Consider putting cams in too. I have a Jim Berry clutch which works great but it's quite bitey.

Someone told me you were up to like $1000 sam. I'm up around $250 I think.

You're right - about response and lag - it's just that 95% of the people on this forum use lag when they mean boost threshold and if I follow suit I don't have lag left in my dictionary to use where it should be used. You mean when I said I have more lag* with a bigger intercooler? Well suppose I have a pump (the turbo) that is going to pump an exact amount of air no matter what it is pumping into. Now say I want to pressurise a 2 litre coke bottle. This will take X amount of time. But what if I increase the size of the bottle to about 6 litres? Obviously it's going to take longer to pressurise, the pump is pumping the same amount of air. If nothing else changes (and in the real world it usually does), how can a larger intercooler not increase lag*? * Using the word properly here. I used the stock cooler up to 190rwkw then put on a Blitz LM kit. I have not measured the pressure drop but I've always made very good power for quite low boost so it must be good.

It helps for a little while then it's completely stuffed.

Or do it yourself!

Already got one!

I used ARP ones. For 350 you definitely should upgrade.

Yay! Actual proof! What mods required Mario?

I haven't been since the early 90's. I hear it's a lot tamer these days in terms of crowd behaviour. Any hassles you get for liking one particular car or another is most likely to be done in a friendly bantering sort of way. If I go this time I will definitely be wearing something SAU related. Have you guys got your accomodation organised?

Sponsored Sam for Thomas (Mr nocreditcard) just now.

Well I cleaned it and drove about 80k's and it came back. I already have a catch can so it's not blow by. I wonder if this is causing my occasional high knock levels.

I'll get there but I was hoping that you guys could help me confirm the order of mods I posted above. I used to be auto so there was no point in lightening my tailshaft but I'm manual now so there's no reason why I shouldn't do it. Maybe I should do a Bass Junky and do them in opposite order just to test the effect... Ahh I get it now. Your inertia helps you up the first bit of the hill - or the whole thing if it's small enough - which saves fuel, but without this inertia you need to be straight onto the gas. The response I'm talking about is the transition between off the throttle and back on. Ie; coasting along then plant your right foot. How long does it take to get up on boost? I can tell you from my experience that in this one area, a smaller intercooler is better. I think the total volume is the important part here. On the stock R34 there are already holes in the inner guard lining behind the cooler for this reason. When I put an oil cooler in the opposite guard I cut the same holes in that lining. Some ducting that lets no air escape the cooler would be great too. The only other thing to consider is the heat sink aspect. How long are you going to be on boost? Will it be long enough to completely saturate the cooler with heat? I don't know but it's worth considering. If this was a drag racing thread then no way would it be good enough, and probably not on the circuit either, but street - probably.

Wow, I can't compete with that, especially since I haven't logged on to check.

Cos I don't have one and I noticed a bit of oil in there. Also, I seem to have a bit of oil in my intake just after the turbo particularly. Is this ok? Thanks.

Roy, I think most of us are reading/contributing to this thread because we are interested in this concept in addition to aftermarket turbos etc. I know we had a big thread about tailshafts but by the time I got around to asking questions everyone was sick of the thread. I want to know how much diff a tailshaft can make when it has such a small diameter compared to wheels and flywheel? I mean is it a given that I should go wheels, flywheel, tailshaft in that order?

They don't bolt up to the head. Completely different. I have heard of an R33 one fitting with some new holes drilled into the head and some on the plenum but haven't seen it. You could get a custom one for the top half only made up fairly easily. There has been talk of a couple being available soon but soon just keeps stretching out into infinity.

He hasn't gone the Hitler has he? Mine is going nuts but it feels weird. I hope I get lots of sponsorship to make this worthwhile cos I look like an idiot too!

What engine is under all that hardware?

Ahh, now all those 'looks' between you two make sense.

Well I think that's what scathing is saying but rev210 disagrees.

Check my signature.

I picked up one of these from Just Jap the other day for about $20. Haven't fitted it yet.

Are you referring to fuel economy?
