Set your expectations at about 110awkw just so you dont get disappointed if its not what you want. Remember that all dyno's will read differently from each other and also possibly different on any given day, as your car will run better some days than others. I had my car dyno'd at 157awkw on a ~35 degree day and I only have the standard S2/R34 SMIC so I'd argue that it would definitely get a better reading on a cold day. I can notice the difference after driving for say 20 minutes, ie. cooling issues. It always feels faster when its cold (ie. engine heated up to efficient running temperature but intercooler and intake temps still cold).

Tangles (and others), thanks for the compliments - I was just putting together most of the things I've picked up from this forum and my own (limited) experience with turbo nissans.

When my car was stock I got 13.5-14L/100km in town and 10.7L/100km on the highway. Now with significantly more power (had an exhaust manifold leak when I bought the car which gave it only 100awkw, compared to ~160awkw now), I'm getting 11.5-12L/100km in town and have seen 9L/100km on the highway (brisbane to goondiwindi, early morning). Thats a huge improvement in fuel economy AND performance which is a very nice achievement in my opinion. Mostly thanks to the exhaust for freeing up the engine and the bigger turbo for keeping it off boost in town. :blink:

I too have ~160awkw at 12psi, although as my sig states, at the top end of my dyno its actually only running 9psi (boost controller cant keep up) so if it had 12psi all the way through I could pick up maybe an extra 10awkw?

My wishlist for the car is a mile long and realistically none of it will probably happen. I have so many maintenance items now coming up that I need to pay for otherwise I wont be able to afford to even keep the car :) Things like new tires, brakes, possibly radius rod bushes, possibly front shocks and springs, and its due for an engine and transmission service...it all just creeps up on you. Its a lot of money that I would have happily spent on a FMIC and SITC (hello 180+awkw@14psi!!!) but we all know that part of owning a car is keeping up with all the boring stuff like servicing etc. :sick:

Hey Steve, did you make that ~160awkw with the standard S2 sidemount intercooler?

      The Ls1 R33 Of Fury

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.

      Welcome Mark. Do you have a Skyline or are you looking to get one?
