whats that convert to "Hg ??

If we're still talking absolute then its 30 in/hg. google "kpa in/hg conversion" and hit "i'm feeling lucky"...(duh)

If you're talking gauge, then 0 is 0 in any unit....

I heard you're offering drives in your car at power cruise... is it cool if you watch from sidelines? I want to take some friends down the straight... thanks champ

but srsly, gimme a passenger if i go, I've only ever seen this thing on the dyno...

what sort of rpm are u gonna spin this motor upto Paul? i assume your running the external oil pump setup too? I also run the similiar cams from what the specs posted on the last page were anyway, and my vacuum is about 6 below the 0 mark on my autometer boost gauge at idle and made for some real bad braking issues.

ill rev it to 9000 on pump...no more yet. Normally i like to see 9500rpm when racing with better fuel before i shift, as its still making power and good torque at that level.

Still running a JUN oil pump...no external yet.

did a nice safe tune for pump. The car was making 450KW or 600hp at around 21psi, a nice 11.5 AFR with the timing advanced 17degrees. The turbo makes full boost by 5500rpm with the external gate spring pressure only (no electronic boost control). Rev's were limited to 8500rpm, so with some race fuel, a leaner mixture, some more ignition advance, another 14psi of boost and some NOS...this things going to really move.

Big thanks to the Guilt-Tripper for crunching the numbers into the Vi-PEC V88...a great job done mate.

Yeah it was a long day.. Lots of work was done to the car to prepare it for the Dyno. I was pretty fussy and was starting to annoy paul with some of the requests before i was ready to tune it. Everything got sorted out and we only had a few hours left to tune it.

This car is awesome. So tough its just amazing how good the engine is, you can tell that it was built by a true professional *cough paul Red R Racing cough* lol :P

The gearbox took a bit to get used too, I connected Mark @ Godzilla Motorsport to have a look at the map and give it a once over before going over 4000rpm and we had a couple of things that needed to be changed, after Mark was happy with the setup it was smooth sailing all the way.. There was only a couple of videos taken because Paul was too busy making sure the turbo drain was not leaking, just as we were ready to start power runs it was decided to stop and fix the issue before taking the revs up anymore.

Here are some pics, and Videos

Niiiice!

What AFR's will you aim at as a max on pump98?

Where its at now...this tune is only set-up to run around town...im not interested in running the engine any harder on pump. Ive built this car run times as its main goal, to achieve this the engine will have to be reasonably stressed to make the power required. The ultra consistent (and ultra expensive) leaded fuel we will be using is the only petrol based product that is capable of supporting the power at a reduced risk of engine damage. To unnecessarily push the engine on an unleaded fuel is a waste of time and money. This is why we limited ourselves to the parameters Mark set when tuning it, i.e. 8500RPM 11.5AFR 24psi and 18deg. We actually tuned it under all these levels as they were advised as a maximum and not a target to reach.

Mark will be coming down next month to perform a full race fuel tune and help prep the car for the upcoming Sport Compact drag event in Sydney. He seems to think around 35psi+ is where this turbo will see the real power made. We have the spray as a back-up if the power is not quite where we think it needs to be.

We changed to a different style of plug today and did a few runs. It instantly made a 15KW gain and the engine actually netted an increase of 1psi in boost due to improved combustion. Nice

465KW to run around town on is enough to have fun with.

Guilt-Toy has got some vids to post up...i forgot to grab a print of the curve before i left today...will grab one tomm.

Well done on the results on such little boost paul, should make big power when you turn it up and tune on better fuel.

Interesting results you got from that plug change, what were the 2 different plugs?

thanks sky...the result was only 2kw short of its best ever pump fuel figure. Considering how hard we used to push the pump fuel tunes its really impressive to almost top the figure given the limits set.

the plugs were everyones favorite BCPR7ES's....we ran something colder with different style electrode...even they were not the optimum plug for the application.

i still think the plugs were not the problem why it was breaking down. i think it was the really hot fuel in the tank

Stace says it was the plugs

It only did it when we went for more boost and sounded awfully like ignition breakdown so im tending to agree with her. Disagreeing with Stace is not a smart practice. :P

    • I should. But it already uses too much fuel for a daily. You might note my recco for engine chnages are almost exclusively to people who have it as a weekender/summer car. I don't even have room to keep the spares for this one, let alone another car.
    • If I had "perfect R33 GTR" kinda money I would have bought one of the crazy expensive low mileage HJA cars, but I am sadly not that wealthy. I already picked this car out of various Skylines for sale locally, most of which were worse in some way. Only a few cars were actually better but also more expensive. In terms of buying a motor locally, I at least have the option to inspect it myself and juding the seller as a person, and used or freshly rebuilt engines that some people sell are actually ok price-wise. I knew the car was going to require work, but shit piled up real fast and I haven't even driven 1000km yet as the turbo started oiling like a bitch within a few weeks after I got the car.   I assume it wasn't actually me who cracked it, though there is no way to know when that crack formed and if the previous owner even knew it was there. Buying another 05U Block can be a gamble, yeah, but the cheapest PRP cast block is like twice or more money-wise, and billet is 3 or 3 times as much. For now I am most likely just keeping the current engine, as a rebuild or engine swap isn't happening right now. But I am seriously considering buying a second engine and selling mine in return. Might be a sweet deal at the end.
    • Hi all. I need some help buying the correct size banjo bolts for my 2860 turbos. Because whoever installed them tore up the original part, I ordered new ones of this kind, because I just figured these were the most leak-resistant option as I already had trouble with a shitty braided line. I need to know the thread size of the smaller left hole, that is the turbo oil feed connection. I found out so far that the turbo oil inlet apparently has a 7/16"-24 thread, but I cannot find any listing or description of the thread size on this line. I do not have the original bolts. I tried using the bolts that were in the turbos (the ones that were mounted with the shitty braided line) but they sit very loosely so they can't be the right thread. Means either these bolts are the wrong ones (how do they fit the turbo then? no clue) or the wraparound-lines have a different thread than the turbo oil feed itself. Help is appreciated, asking Nissan directly is obviously not going to work.
    • EDIT: PSA to whoever stumbles upon this thread. It is in fact a crack in the block that caused this concern. Just letting you know. In my case, a few cm long hairline crack going horizontally above the turbo oil feed. Classic RB shit I guess
