turbo back 3" exhaust

hks airpod

hks bov (may remove, depends if i like it)

now i need to take it for a 100k service... whats involved in that??

also is a stock tune ok with these mods or is it better to go do a dyno tune? im guessing a stock tune is ok.

Thanks for help

Firstly, you cannot tune a stock ecu.

The 100k service is a major service and normally includes the following:

Timing belt change

Water pump change

Drive belts change

Fuel Filter change

Spark plugs change

Engine, gearbox and diff oils changed

Change oil filter

Some workshops will also do a compression test as part of a major service

yeah thats why i was asking what kinda tune for a near stock car. so getting it tuned would just be correct plugs, points, and the timing..

Points? Are you that old ? All modern cars have computers . R33 skylines don't even have distributors !

omg are you serious?? even my sr20 has a distributor... i know sr20's better then rb's... well for now. so soon ill own both the sr20 and the rb25. im guessing the technology in a rb is far more advanced then the sr20. at first i loved the 2 litre 4 cyclinder... but i can tell im gonna find my soul mate in the rb serious... ive got 3 days to own and experience all night and all day.

There is a ticking noise in my r33. its done 90,000k's. (ticking noise is like the noise you hear 4 cyclinders make eg spark plugs etc)

can this just be in need of a service? 100k service? timing belt and spark plugs. also with the r33 is there also a timing chain? or is that the same as the timing belt????????

hydrolic lifters are fairly noisy in the R33.. but new oil and not too thin.

at 90 000, if you have the cash i'd change the timing belt ( does the job of a chain but external to the motor..) just incase its been winded .. definately cant hurt

injectors do tick a little of course too.

and your SR20 should only have a side mounted CAS ( crank angle sensor) not a dizzy

Is your SR20 a non-turbo? SR20DE (atmo 180sx version) used a conventional distributor but the turbo ones have multi-coil ignition (according to Drift Battle magazine).

well done, yes my sr20 is non turbo. front wheel drive at that! i just hope as craved said. that the ticking noise is the hydro lifters and injectors. because my mates s2 r33 doesnt make that sound. and i cant be driving a car that makes a bad sound because its screwed. ok if it makes a bad sound and its in perfect nick!

well i never .. lol

just like the old pulsars.. oh well :P

yeah hard to say how bad the ticking is without hearing it of course..

what oil is it running.. too thin and it'll make more noise..

firstly, you *can* tune a stock ecu with a remap.

however, I wouldn't bother with only these mods, if you change turbo's then yes, but otherwise it should be ok. Just get it on the dyno when you get a chance and make sure the AFR's aren't too lean.

If a "tune" you're referring to spark plugs, check timing etc. then all cars should have this done from time to time!

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
