Tyres you use(d) and how u would rate them
Missileman replied to ZigenGT's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
Kumho KU39 R32 GTS-t 205, 55, 16 (stock size) DOM 43 week of 2011 Date fitted 02_11_2-12 Cost $560 Delivered (Temp Tyre's) Fitting $80 Local Mechanic Distance traveled 24 000 Km Have about 1mm before the minimum tread depth indicators show. Dry Grip 7.5 / 10 Wet Grip 8.5 / 10 Road Noise 8 / 10 Longevity / Wear 6 / 10 Only real complaint is sidewall flex, which affects change of direction precision, if you have a lower profile this may not be a issue. Lovely tyre in the wet and road noise is minimal, excellent value for money, will probably put these on again as their price seems to have dropped. Overall highly recommend for a daily driver.

Nismo Intercooler Piping Not Holding Boost
Missileman replied to baicai's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
who is your tuner? -
Could be lots of things, from fuel pump to injectors, ignitor module to CAS, Do what Scott tells you, he's more qualified than me.
-
It only needs a small battery, if your battery is in good shape then no it will not be that.
-
so... what was it? ...how did the alt installation go? any problems or changes to get it to fit?
-
not really, lots of good posts in this thread
-
nothin wrong with the oil put in the car 10-40 dino is absolutely fine
-
Could be the switch.

Did I hear right last night that RBR had issued Renault a notice of intention, and that Renault are buying Lotus???
-
It's acceptable, you do notice the lack of torque from 2500 to 3500rpm compared to the stock turbo, but after that it leaves the stocker in its wake. The stock turbo tends to run out of breath near 6000, the hiflow hammers all the way to redline. I don't know how the RB25 turbo behaves on a 20 but it must be somewhere between the two. If you're trying to get every last bit of response then by all means follow what Roy has suggested, if you want something that bolts up to the stock pluming and is indistinguishable from stock, then look for a blown RB20 turbo on the forums they turn up every few months, that where I got mine, and then send it to Hypergear for hiflowing.
-
its about 1000rpm behind in making positive boost, and about 800rpm behing in reaching 10psi and thats running a safe home tune @ 1 bar (3800rpm), I have improvised knock ears and a wide band. I intend to get cam gears and a professional tune done as soon as I can afford, but fcuk-heads keep running into me and other things need attention to so tune is on hold for a while. I've tuned it the best I can without a dyno but road tuning is harsh on the auto transmission
-
RB20, but I believe they share the same housings, so after hiflowing they come out the same, but you would be best to talk to Stao from HyperGear to check that. The RB25 Neo is larger though.
-
I was quite happy to accept my 800rpm lag penalty and only pay $900 for a Hiflow, though with some cam gears and a professional tuning it should reduce to about 500rpm. For me it made sense to go hiflow, when you start talking 2-3K for turbos your getting close to the threshold of ditching the 2L and going RB25
-
Yes I was exaggerating a tad, but the point remains, do it right the first time, eventually that 20+ year old ceramic turbo is going to start shedding blades, whether it does it at 7psi or 14 who knows. The OP seems to be happy to accept that risk, so I will butt out now. The way the aussie dollar is going that HKS turbo might not be such a bad buy, it tempted me.
-
LOL...Ive actually been following my own advice and I'm up to P14 of the RB20 turbo thread and god dam, kudos have the that HKS on special for 3.14K...http://www.kudosmotorsports.com/catalog/hks-turbocharger-kit-hks-gtrs-11004an008-nissan-skyline-r32-gtst-gts4-r33-gts25t-r34-25gtt-p-1048.html
-
....and the rot begins, e85+1k tune = 6 months later ...new turbo + 1K tune = )): 2 years later ...
-
the little lead weights that are sometimes stuck on the inside of rims to balance them
-
I don't know if E85 is going to reduce the RB20 lag significantly, maybe cam gears would be better, anyway, more data is always good, so there is no harm in reading the "Rb20 Turbo Upgrade, All Dyno Results" sticky from start to finish,and the RB25 one too
-
tis up to you, but try not to get too carried away, just because that fuel is available close to home doesn't mean you should go down that path, you have to figure a cost verses benefit analysis and go from there. Is it really worth the cost to do that with the little old RB20?
-
There are a couple of thread on here which deal with the issues of ethanol fuels and what is required, but if your planing on going the Nistune route, head on over to their forums and introduce yourself... http://forum.nistune.com/index.php
-
Standard FPR is fine as long as you choose the correct size injector, and since Nistune now supports flexfuel tuning, I would go with that rather than an exclusive E85v tune.
