then again i see you have 300 plus rwkw standard internals?

nope my motor is now fully forged pistons, rods cams etc u name it its got it....300rwkw on just 17psi

built by Willall Racing, Nisspeed, and tuned by Morpowa

i asked Boostworx who pays for it and they said i had to at my own expense, they really didn't care to be honest, im sure im not the only one here that has had grief with them....i guess im the first to speak up.

Your manifold, while it looks like its a pro job with the cut and shut, is a really really bad idea,since the runners are designed for air coming in at the normal throttle position, now you have the TB at the front... this means cylns 5-6 are less likely to get the same amount of air.

if you had the manifold on the motor when it blew up, i dare say it could have played a huge part in it.

i guess i got another reason 2 blame boostworx 4 blowing up my motor because they are the place that did the cut n shut!!!!!!!!!!

Who wanted the manifold like that??? Simon isn't saying the cut and shut was the problem, Think about where the inlet pipe goes standard........... In the middle, this is to make the air get dispenced evenly and appropriatly, not a crap load at the front and stuff all at the back!!

Just an update - I ended up going to Morpowa, glad I did as they sorted me out nicely. It definately needed a tune, cruising was fine so no problems with the O2 sensor, but the AFR's were for some reasons in the low 10's. We weren't quite sure why, as the car hadn't really changed since the last tune apart from a different catback Exhaust (still 3").

Regained 20rwkw with the new tune and hopefully this will fix the fuel economy issues.

    • Hi all. So I have my GTR on the lift and have been working on it a few days and yesterday I unpacked the frontpipe that was wrapped with heat wrap stuff, because part of it was breaking down and soaked in oil. Noticed that the pipe itself does not actually look like a Mines, despite it supposedly being a Mines. But I could not find any fronpipe online that looks exacly like his, and I don't think it is a custom one. My amateur measurement also showed the two pipes are about equal length, so maybe this is just an old version of the Mines pipe? Would appreciate insight on this by the enlightened folks. greetings from Germany
    • Yeah. If I plug the connector in and connect the vacuum lines, I assume worse case scenario is that it simply doesn't work? Yep PFC.
    • I would think that rather than attempting to perform an engine swap, with all the difficulties associated with doing so in a country where the raw materials required are harder to get hold of, I would just build the CA20 for boost, find an EFI manifold for it and either add a turbo or a supercharger. Or both. You replace one set of difficulties with a different set, but I know which would be more fun.
    • Well, a proper aftermarket ECU** SHOULD be set up to run the purge solenoid, same as the factory ECU would, so that the tank breather system continues to operate the way it is supposed to. I have no knowledge of whether the PFC (which is what I assume you mean when you say Apexi) has an output (and internal logic) to run the purge solenoid. If it does not, then given the product design intent for the PFC, which is to be a plug in replacement for the stock ECU, I would consider that a massive failing on Apexi's behalf and would be another reason to think that they were a half-arsed solution to the problem if programmable management on RBs. I would suggest that since Nistune came to market (which is a LOOOOONG time ago now) there has been no valid argument for choosing a PFC, especially if the PFC can't do things like this.   **ie, Haltach, Link, Motec, etc
    • Thanks for asking the question we were all thinking!
