Extremely wrong.

+1

There is no turbo available, that is only slightly bigger than stock as you say (say a 400-450HP turbo) that is ment to be pushed any where near 35psi.

How do you know it is pushing 35psi? Boost gauge or someone just told you this?

its a HKS 3 inch neck (luv the mad induction noise :) ) with custom heat sheild... but getting straight to bumper will be good... will it make alot of difference in power?... any gain is good for me.

Don't do that...next large puddle you will hit will be your last for the motor....keep it high and out of the rain.

Oh...I know why I liked it and choose it...MY avatar that is...could stare at it for hours....lol

i dont know what sb8 is, but i want 10.

i was thinking that to have a stockish turbo power figure on 35 psi, and nothing at 10 psi, he has a tiny tiny turbo that he is spinning the crap out of to get the air flow. i think there would be too much heat for it to make any reliable power if that was true, so it must be tuned to run a bit cooler.

HOWEVER- ive decided that this isnt feasible (?) now. what he has is a full throttle tune. when he is at lower load points eg. 10psi on the 35psi tune its just not fuelled or timed correctly, and is running crap.

still think that it needs to be checked on a dyno. what if there is nothing wrong after all? does it feel quickish on the road or feel like a pintara

Don't do that...next large puddle you will hit will be your last for the motor....keep it high and out of the rain.

i ran my pod in the front bumper for years in brisbane (when we had rain)

with no dramas

only moved the pod back to the engine bay, coz i got sick of replacing them coz they were so dirty

dyno sheet from when it was dyno tuned at JEM... i can post it up if you want to c it yourself

suppose it makes sence to keep it in a dryer place...

it feels good, quickish like it should running 10 i guess... but on idle it tends to pop and crackle (probably exhaust)... oh and it feels like it has a bit of a flat spot at low revs... i think i need a tune by the sounds of things.

oh ok, did it perform better in front? did it make a louder induction sound in front?

    • Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.
    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card style AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had no flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
    • So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
    • Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.
