Hey, reading this now and just one query:

If I was looking at mid spec -> high end gear how much would stage 1 of the R33 GTS25T cost???

Also, how do I tell the difference between a high quality cat flow? Purely on cost??? I don't know too much about exhausts. I am trying to find a guide on purchasing an exhaust and the ins and outs but having trouble.

EDIT: Online (just for price guides) I can mostly find gear for the R32 RB20DET, these engines are pretty similar arn't they? Universal gear for these? So around the same costs?

Cheers.

depends what parts you use if you never plan on going past stage 1

- R34 GTT intercooler $100- 200

- R32 GTST wastegate actuator $30 - 50

- Power FC with hand controller $950 or second hand SAFC $300

- 3" small body casco highflow cat and open bellmouth front/dump pipes $300- 400 (call justjap.com)

- Second hand cat back exhaust $400 - $600

- optional exhaust cam gear - $90 (in group buy section)

- add labour and tuning on top of this

(You may also need to budget for a new fuel pump and clutch)

This will get you around 180 - 200rwkw depending on engine condition etc.

If I had my time again this is what I would have done, but if I planed on going a larger turbo down the track id change a few things

- larger intercooler (hybrid or copy)

- split front/dump pipe (from batmbl)

- stainless cat (from Batmbl)

- Electronic boost control (nengun or second hand)

Or you can pay top dollar for brand name parts and get similar (maybe slightly better results) places to check for parts

www.justjap.com

http://www.bosimporting.com.au/ PM BATMBL on the forums for specials

- the for sale section of these forums

- for actuators IC etc use the WTB section

For genuine Jap parts the prices on these sites are hard to beat

www.nengun.com

www.greenline.jp

cheers

    • I should try the experiment you're talking about, the throttle switch is still there carried over from the R32 and it's still all wired up but after I did the whole intake manifold refurb and had to recalibrate the TPS I managed to somehow get the idle switch reporting activation at 0.22V, then when I adjusted it to 0.45V for idle it decided the engine was permanently no longer idling which caused some very weird behavior, closed loop idle was disabled so it would basically be at the whims of the cold start valve and whatever the base timing table was at. Then just unplugging/replugging the TPS with the ECU live caused it to relearn the idle TPS position and decide 0.45V was idle. Presumably there's nothing in the TPS that allows for the throttle switch to "recalibrate" like that, not easily at least.
    • Duh... to answer my own silly question, it's actually described in the FSM... ...400 pages away at the end of the manual, for RB25DE/DET signal descriptions, it cites the TPSwitch signal action, is dependent on the TPSensor value ~ this tends to infer the builtin POT voltage signal is the primary, and the switches are fallback/secondary should the POT fail/TPSensor signal lost (and switch alone with no TPSensor signal allows for base idle speed setting).... makes sense... they (TPS units) used to fail/wear the POT with time, they're not exactly built to last ~ having the switch as a redundancy gets around this...(or, it's less likely both signals would be lost as they're on different power rails)... and of course wrt RB26DETT, you have to electrically disconnect the IACV solenoid from the harness, to defeat idle air control...  
    • Dose is unaware just how much fun 145-150kw would be in a 2.5L NC MX5. It would be one of the most fun things to drive to ever grace SAU.
    • Same thought crossed my mind ~ depends on how one connotes 'stalling'...ie; gets a rough/stumbling idle as it get warm until it stalls... or... idles ok and simply falls-over when it gets to temp... ...you can test the whole circuit with a couple of resistors ...unplug coolant temp sensor, bridge terminals with a 2K7 resistor (ECU will do cold start), or with engine warm bridge with a 330R resistor (ECU will consider engine to be at normal operating temp)...it's a quick way to check wiring integrity/ECU response when you don't have a multimeter handy ...
