Hey mate good too read your progresss I just pasted the year mark with my build, hoping to have it all together in the next month.

I went the funny option of building a RB24 some of the mods I am doing are:

Forged Eagle Rods

Rb26 Crank + Balanced

ACL Race Series Bearings

ARP head studs

ROSS Custom 83mm pistons

Tomei 1.5mm metal head gasket 83mm

1mm Oversize valves

Tomei Solid lifters

Tomei Valve Springs

Tomei 270 9.25mm lift Cam's

Tomei Shims

HKS Cam gears

Ported and polished head

Garrett 3076R .64 rear

Hopeing for easy 300kw on low boost and around 350 - 400rwkw on high boost around the 30psi mark which i hope should be achieved with this turbo or having to change to a larger rear housing.

Anyway goodluck today with the car at the workshop!! keep us updated

sounds pretty good mate. can i come around and harvest from your money tree? hahahaha. i would love to have some of those parts you have

well its lookin better now. i got them to check the plugs and they were shitty bosch items, so they have been replaced with decent ones. and they took off the CAS to find it was screwed, chewed out on the inside. totally unexplainable and weird. so a new one is arriving in the morning and i should have it back tomorrow.

the dodgy CAS might explain a weird flat spot i had between 3000-5500 rpm when i had the std ecu. happy days ahead :)

w00t!! good news!!! get that bish screaming.

you can do 300awkw with standard engine, standard cams.....just upgraded turbos, computer, injectors, afm's and fuel pump. So he should be all hunky dory with that.

well picked the car up. still not finished yet. they could still only tune it on 10psi as when they turned the boost up it didnt make any difference co0s the exhaust is restricting it. i think it is the cat for sure as it looks about a million yrs old and is prob full of shit from when the exhaust wheel on the stock turbo decintegrated and went flying down the dump pipe into it. going to try and score a hi-flow from somewhere today and fit it tomorrow morning

Get a drill and swiss cheese the cat. then smash the farken substrate out with a broomstick. that'll clear that restriction :)

Had my car with standard ecu at 216awkw and the cat never had a problem. As soon as i power fc'd it up to 220awkw the cat temp light started comin on. now whenever i get up it it comes on so mines fried.

And its not the power fc knock warning cos it doesnt do the 1/2 second on/off, it stays on while it revs down and then goes out after a coupe of seconds. Dodgy ADR compliant piece of sh#t

Yeah the parts that make the "greenies" happy are usually the first to go when you wanta make solid power...

However that said, id never suggest to smash out the insides of a cat as its just a good excuss for a shaker unit to defect your car and issue you a fine...

The fines are worth more than a decent cat, just get a good quality one and you wont have a problem...

yeh i think im gonna get a CES hi-flow cat. i had a quick play this morning and the car is pulling better now, so im gonna get a good hi-flow to keep it legal. im also thinking of replacing the current system from the cat back. at the moment it goes from the cat into a muffler, which then splits into twin 2 1/4(or 2 1/2) pipes back to 2 small mufflers/cannons at the back. thinkin maybe a good 3.5inch system from cat back would be better, or just getting rid of the muffler between cat and rear mufflers. what do you guys reckon?

Just dont defected for having a 3.5inch pipe to close to the ground ( minimum 100mm).I had this and had to go back to a 3inch.

I had a 3" all the way through, it was more than happy to flow 330+rwkw

So with your goals in mind 3" would be fine ;)

Due to material cost the 3" will be cheaper also...

Jack B @ Redcliffe did mine for $800 inc high flow cat through to a canon, then a further $240 for the new dump pipe and wategate dump when i went to a high mount setup...

They spent a solid 3 hours doing my dump pipes and joining it into the old system in the most efficent manner, I was extreamlly happy with the price after seeing the quality of work...

the old CAS was destroyed, and the one they put in as a replacement is also buggered, it randomly makes this hardcore knocking noise. i have driven the car about 70km since picking it up. as the oil feed line is leaking again, i need to get a 90deg bend made up to get it away from the manifold.

on top of this i now dont have a license for 8 months as of today :( . so you'll be seeing my car in the sale section on here shortly, as well as being advertised on other websites :D

haha geez wasnt really expecting that after reading through the thread. Seemed like a hell of a lot of work you had to go through just to get things happening, so many problems! Maybe it was time to cut your losses any way and start fresh.

      Nissan needs to forget about building SUVs in every size possible and bring back the damn Silvia/200sx duo to compete with the 86/brz. Maybe with the Honda type r motor pointing the right way

      Good to see you followed your heart, got your dream car and have it pretty well sorted out now. I think anyone can get caught out with a seller not being 100% honest about a cars problems. Can relate to all the electrical issues, had similar issues with my first car (mk2 escort) ages ago

      Honda's hybrid system can be easily scaled up to PHEVs. Series hybrid at low speeds, at higher speeds the engine directly drives the wheels but there can still be some power bled off to charge the battery + the electric motor can still provide parallel assistance too. It's really only a question of will at that point. Toyota's PHEVs are selling incredibly well at the moment because of the flexibility. You can run on EV mode when it makes sense, but if you're planning on doing a long highway drive you can still fire up the gas engine and not have to worry about dealing with the rather miserable state of public charging infrastructure.

      Only reason to keep a MAF on your RB25 is to be able to easily calculate true VE if you know what the factory voltage curve represents in grams per second of flow. Also allows you to do things like pull the original OEM ignition + AFR target tables and use those as a starting point for your base map. Once you're well and truly done tuning though there's no need to retain the MAF.
