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.

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!

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      Not stock. All remade. Mostly looks stock because the pipes run to and from the standard holes in the inner guard to get to the return flow FMIC. I'm not sure which question you're trying to ask, because it seems like "stock position" vs "stock position".

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card style AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had no flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
