Nah, I got a ceramic turbo... the nylons are series 2 R33's.

Jish, don't be talkin' whack about my mother, I'll bust you up, son.

Edit: On the turbo thing, the ceramics will handle up to 14psi before they start coming apart... the nylons are worse, so the story goes... 12-13 being the break point... but some people might get lucky and get a good turbo from a good batch that can handle a bit more... personally I'm not worried about bits going down my exhaust, but VERY worried about bits of shattered impeller blade making their way into my plenum and into the engine. They'd have to make their weay through about 2m of piping and the intercooler... but still... at the cost of the engine, I'd rather not gamble.

Sorry Matt, just editted post as you posted. Read back.

Edit, again: I seem to remember something about ceramics holding and holding and holding and then just letting go with a loud crack, whereas the nylon internals will peel and seperate over a period... dunno how long the period is, but I'd say that as soon as it starts, damage will increase exponentially.

What happens with the engine remains to be seen... that's off in the future, anyway. Changeover will happen... er... when I can afford a few other bits and then sort out the plan of attack. Probably before the end of October.

ah ok ... thought you might use an aftermarket on.e I'm still yet to how well a power fc works with a 3L twin cammer motor ..... I know a lot of people don't think much of the power fc as not every tuner can tune one but i believe give it to a tuner who has a fair knoledge of tuning and has tuned on many many different ecu and they will be able to tune it well. Plus its a damn cheap ecu for one that is closed loop .....

We will, its just fun to try and guess what times a car will do.  althouhg last time i had quite a few people tell me that i would do a 13 without adoubt but I never ended up doing one so it was a bit disappointing ......... hmm I better shutup now don't want to have some be disappointed in their car .... anyway guys a 13 second street car is still damn fast and would beat the majority of cars on the street .....

Yeah its great fun, but mind u i also like getting my dick caught in a blender,

By the way guys we are getting a present for geno. I'll buy it and court is going to be my debt collector. Be afraid that bitch scares me. Not posting what we are getting cause i don't want any retard telling him. But we can get it engraved with eveyones name, or just the collective group. Bad news on the keg front too. Damn it just have to drink corona. Those pricks, but hey i'm a survivor as christina says.

    • I’m also conscious that e85 is slowly being phased out. Not all United’s have them anymore. Can’t take the risk of being low on petrol and assuming the servo will have it. 
    • MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.
    • Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.  
    • Nice, let me know how you find the 98 tune
