Just a quick thread to say a huge thanks to Ray from R.E Customs, Jeff from Techsport and Matt Lowth. Treated the Evo to an AVCR which Jeff kindly went out, purchased and couriered to my work but unfortunately I didnt receive. Jeff then went out and bought another which I went and collected as it was 5pm yesterday before heading to Rays. The AVCR did arrive this morning I might add which will be on its way back to Jeff tomorrow.

Ray spent the evening fitting the AVCR followed by a lot of dyno runs with Matt Lowth, Evo tuning guru. I think we clocked up 30+ dyno runs until we got it right resulting in both Matt and Ray working on my car until 11pm last night.

A huge huge thanks to Jeff, Ray and Matt for their efforts resulting in a previous run of 154kw and an after run of 175kw.

See you all around soon :):)

The dumps don't make a huge difference on the Evo's as they are already good, its the CAT that is the main restricter at the moment. Running 18-19psi which isnt a lot higher than stock. :banana:

Its fatboy :)

hahahahahaha :laughing-smiley-014:

He shouted me a coffee this morning but at the same time did rub the warmth of having a flasher coat and gloves on while I in my 63kg frame was freezing with just the SAU vest on at Techsport! :)

:D

Jezuz Christ Matt, You have about 80rwkws more then me at the moment and the reason your not quicker then me is your car must be a handful to drive. Just punch out some more laps in a car that drives the same from week to week and it will be damn fast.

That said, cant wait to see what you have done. Want to see the rwd boyds take it to the GTR guys towards the latter part of this year :laugh:

    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
