as if a grad can negotiate salary.. your one of thousands in most cases be grateful when your worth something you'll get a rise :)

exactly what I'd expect of a grad position - everyone starts on the same level with the same amount of experience

so umm... what's it do?

haha injects water and methanol into the engine. Water absorbs a shit load of heat (and cleans the engine) and methanol is 116~ octane.

Should hopefully get me to around 240-250kw

that sounds like absolute boners!

I was thinking to myself the other day 'damn why has no one stuffed a 4.8 litre Patrol motor into an import'. How much was one of those motors worth, and how were you able to buy it by itself brand new and without owning a new patrol1?

w00t... got an email from hallam nissan sayin the VK56VD is ready for pickup...

muhahahahaha

5.6L V8 out of the new patrol. going into the s14.

that was my tax return.

Fucking hell!

With about 560 N·m of torque and about 300kW's from factory in a S14 which weighs probably about just over 1 tonne if not less if you strip it...

You'd ass rape just about every car on the street with that!

How much it set you back?

anyone know a decent 2-stage boost controller? One which allows to run wastegate or defined boost with a flick of a switch or two defined boost points.

ebc, go a gizzmo cheap and works a treat

trying to come up with a failsafe for my water/meth. The system has a trigger wire, either ground or 5v. Want it to trigger a boost controller so it switches to low boost/wastegate boost. If you turn off an ebc during boost does it revert to wastegate pressure or stay at the pressure whilst it was on.

one of the guys at hallam nissan parts owes me a few favours, so he hooked me up. ordered it on the workshop's trade account.

to be honest i didn't think i'd get one till the end of the year, so dunno how he managed to get one already. maybe its one of the ones out of the test cars they're trialling now. no idea what price it is, i just told him to get me one asap lol.

nowhere near ready to spend money on the track car yet, so might hold off on it... at least until i figure out how i'm gonna run the engine etc. we've done an LS1 swap into an S13 and a VH swap into an r32, so VK into s14 should be fun.

If my calculations are right it should sit between and behind the strut towers, which means all the weight of the car will be between the wheelbase.

    • You need the kit turbo taipan has shown you because that manifold ia designed have side feed injectors 
    • @johnnysr22 did you end up installing the little screen thingy and did it work ?>   
    • There is a LOT of stuff that can be done, it all depends on how much time and money you want to spend on doing in.  Not all ECUs will be able to do it, and the more control you need the more time and knowledge needs to be put into making it work.  If you're willing to spend the time and money and have the right hardware and skills involved there's a lot that can be done. 
    • I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility
    • Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.
