I pulled the intake off today and tried to imagine how I am going to fab a new suction pipe for the turbo. Its very tight in there and the bolts will be a bugger to get to but its definitely possible to enlarge it. I think this is the major bottleneck of the intake causing the lower than expected output. While there I will enlarge the AFM to reduce the voltage getting to the ECU. Hopefully this will allow full airflow measurement without clamping the voltage.

At least part of the pipe has to be silicone for engine movement so I guess theres not much to make really. I just wish I had a spare engine to work with, I dont like stripping mine all the time. Anybody have a VQ25det laying around? ;)

There is a the damaged M35 at Pickles for sale. You can buy that then part it out. Apparently only expecting 4-5k. LOL

Can you wait until the end of the month/start of next month Scotty?

Have something in the works... ay Iain?

Are you holding back on me? And I thought we were mates...

What are you planning???

Sneaky bugger. ;)

Finally finished. What a bugger of a job to make.

I had to fit and refit about 30 times, and its not fun to get in there.

I have to tune now, I may end up buying a wideband and gauge as dyno tunes are just too expensive.

The price will be right, I just have to sort out a small airflow sensor issue.

The car is idling very low, like 550 to 600, which is nice but occasionally it stalls pulling up to an intersection. Im guessing it could be tuned out but some of you cant so I would like it to work on a standard car and have the air fuel ratio checked before I can be sure theyre ok.

The turbo flange has a nice funnel from 58mm out to 70mm id for the rest (3inch pipe.) I will also have to insulate them with exhaust wrap as mine is only 10mm from the ex manifold. Its a tight fit, no going bigger thats for sure.

The ECU seems to be sorting itself out. No stalling today. Hopefully just rotating the airflow sensor a bit did the trick.

Definitely heaps more go but it still needs a tune.

Yeah. I could actually feel the power this time instead of just watching the speedo go crazy :P

Is the turbo inlet flange something you can buy off the shelf or do you make it yourself? I know the exhaust flange is a T3. The opening size of the inlet is about 58mm for your turbo? Would be a bit smaller on a standard turbo? Not much room to allow for the bolts to fit through the holes once a seam is welded around the pipe to the flange.

Is it hard to unbolt the standard suction pipe from the turbo? Can't even see the bottom one :) .

Cheers for all your info :)

Not much room for anything down there... especially 3 inch pipe. Every part is custom, the turbo flange and funnel are from one piece of alloy, 100mm round by 50mm then machined on the lathe. it has to be 50mm to clear the stud (but the nut still has to be installed first or you cant get it on.) and the nut is done from underneath. PITA.

Standard turbo inlet would be 48mm or so I think

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!

      That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect

      i cant get them all in 1 screenshot unfortunately as i just dont know how to move things around tbh, but they are all from the same log and the line crosses at the same point for all of them

      The Ls1 R33 Of Fury

      It's about time I start work on my sun tan. So I knocked up a few parts that will all combine together to become my new power steering reservoir. Now just to produce an abundance of UV and IR rays while melting a heap of bits of alu to become one... Well, that's after I put one more hole in it for the return line to plumb to. It likely won't be this weekend, as Sunday I'm meant to be in doing some last minute stuff to the AMG race car, and the weekend after will be filled with non my Skyline stuff, followed by Bathurst 6 hour. So I don't expect to get to melt metal for at least 3 weeks.   I also managed to stuff up and start cutting the hole for the res to pump pipe on the wrong side of the line... It means instead of the lines being nice and tight against the inner guard, they'll be out off the guard.    The size of it means I should end up with about 1.8L of power steering fluid, and still have space for another half a litre before it reaches the overflow/breather. This is wayyyyyyy more capacity than factory, which should help keep Powersteer oil temps lower, and the design hopefully allows it to prevent any aerated oil being able to makes its way down to the bottom as it'll have a couple of baffles and some hopeful trickery to force air bubbles away from the bottom.
