I am excited to see the results of this, great stuff.

Quick question, with regard to the wideband, why did you not go with the Innovate Motorsports WB which is reccommended to be used with the Vipec ECU's? Geniune question, I am not just being a d**k.

Red R Racing use Tech Edge, thats pretty much the reason. I went with their recomendations.

The vipec ecu was designed to work with what ever wideband sensor you want to use rather than one specific brand/model.

Yes, however in the manual it recommends the Innovative Motorsport WB. No drama, I would like to know why the Tech Edge was chosen by Paul. Good information to know especially to those (like myself) who don't have WB yet.

Anyway, sorry Bakes to digress.

Mike

maybe Mr. Dirt can elaborate...

its what we use and are familiar with...no need to change as they are very accurate.

Peter gives me a good discount too which helps.

All Mainline dyno's use Techedge units to read AFR...good enough for them...plenty good for me. :down:

Cheez Bakes those rims are growing on me they might just end up on that 32 next to yours LOL

:D Hahah Dave, I hope my car is not sitting on bricks when I come round next, or discover that I mysteriously have a new set of wheels that look a lot like yours ;)

Glad to hear you are looking forward to working on it Anthony. See you later in the week.

Yeah no probs, I had to give up Friday night races at WSID to get your car running so it can be driven to the Dyno.

Never mind plenty of time for the track.

I prefer Techedge Wideband, they are simple and easy to use and work great! Much smaller then the Innovate unit and much much cheaper as well and we are buying local for overnight delivery, and the support Peter gives us is second to none.

Thanks for the info Paul and Guilt-Toy.

Sweet choice in turbo :woot: Let us know how it goes once it's done!

I should be getting my GTR back this week, with a freshly rebuilt forged motor with my own pair of GT2860R-5's strapped to the side... can't bloody wait!

    • 65601-05U00 is the hood latch. 62550-08U31 is the support that holds it to the radiator core support. They are all super discontinued so I don't really have any great leads on how to source this stuff.
    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
