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

    • 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
