why no forced induction over its life?

Even though I’m way bored of it, and it owes me a fortune, if it were not to sell, which we all know it more then likely wont, I’ll throw a Vortech onto it.

I can charge it for around $5k, and @ 15psi it’s a 450hp+ car. The auto’s been built, so that won’t be braking anytime soon.

Then again, the parts to make a 1uzfe a manual these days aren’t all that expensive anymore.

All pipe dream talk really, at the end of the day I want another turbo performance car anyway.

Thanks Mushy, someone I know has already had a chat to them, and they built “LEX S” a few years back. Bang for buck, I'm not happy with the power their setups make, although it is still an option if I can huggle them pn price/

Not really after a “blower” set up on top of the motor though, I prefer the vortech/pro-charger supercharger set up's

If anyone has Vortech hook ups yall know were to find me

Your car has now been resprayed has it not? I'm sure I drove past it on Caloundra Rd on Monday (parked outside bike shop)... I thought it looked in pretty good shape when I glimpsed it...

I think it was a dark blue or greeny colour - can't be too sure tho, as I was just coming off the roundabout (just before the bike shop) at speed... :)

It definitely had plates similar to LXUSS though, and had some decent sized chromies - that's why I thought it was you.

      I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.

      Ogura orc1000f vs Osg tr2cd vs Osg r3c experiences, max torque/max hp?

      I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      By uchoa · Posted

      Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
