So today was interesting. Started off my deciding to tow the Skyline down to EFI Performance instead of drive it down. First hurdle was the car's exhaust was too low to load it up, even with a few blocks of wood under the ramps. After a while we decided we were going to jak the trailer up whilst attached to the car at the towing end to help decrease the angle from ramps to trailer bed. It worked a treat. So i was all hooked up, ready for the 2hr drive to get the car looked at.

Arrived at EFI at around 10:30 and one of the workers were good enough to help me get the car off the trailer. This time thought we snagged the ramps off the Dyno and it made it about a million times easier and it came off the trailer no problems with heaps of clearance.

Sean got it on the dyno and had a play around checking up on a few things and making sure everything was in order. It turned out the timing was 5* out. I expected it to be out a little with the half moon indicator saga earlier. After a few runs Sean came out of the dyno room with power run print out.

429rwhp!!! I was instantly like WTF!

Turns out that my Walbro in tank E85 pump isnt working properly and is giving up the ghost a lot earlier than it should. Sean also said that the intercooler size is also a concern and probably need to get a bigger one to help the motor out. Last of all the injectors, at 1000cc even with increased fuel pressure they will be maxed out around 600rwhp mark.

After a few moments in discussion with the guys there and the best way to move forward to get it ready for Powerplay on May 10 was to address the fuel system at least. It was decided to leave the car there for a few days and get an external fuel setup.

Going with a surge tank and twin 044's then reusing the Walbro as a lift pump. Then we will be able to see what the motor can really make.

hmmmm makes sense that injectors maxed with E85.

Surge tank with twin Bosch 044 and 2000cc injectors will certainly sort it out.

Not that cheap though :/

But for 450+ rwkw its all worth it.

Sean knows his stuff very well mate and I'm certain he will sort it out.

Hey mate, reading through the thread, and as much as i read, i cant stop thinking about that front lip!!!!

any chance you remember where you got it from/what kind of lip it is?

Many thanks

Bronson.

Gumtree lol

Forget the name of it. I'll have a look

    • Waaay ahead of ya....(evil laugh!!) Will show the fitment and spec details later when it isnt as rainy !
    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
