Ripped Aaron's turbo out, 2 hours flat. Not bad going.

He is going for a bush core this time as bearings have left a bad taste in his exhaust, and bits of wheel. Shaft snapped in half.

Don't want to sound sceptical, but can you prove the increase in driveability, economy and reduction of intake temps?

This argument has been done to death.:whistling:

Back to back, same day, plenum skin temp measured with a non contact temp gun (accurate to 800deg) 31deg reduction.

Economy; only .1-.2 km/l, possibly a bit more.

Driveability; VERY subjective, because it's a "seat of the pants thing". But; Yes, farking HEAPS! Better response, stacks more torque.

DUDE! i have to give scott the biggest props for doing this!! had the turbo out in 2 hours! and managed to get it fixed under warranty..

stage 2 wheels bush bearing core!

cant wait now.

f*kn owe you one scott!thanks.gif

8psi. lol. Not even tuned, second gear apparently at 2000 revs. The bearings were noisy when it first went in, after 3 months it had snapped the shaft and demolished the exhaust wheel, front looked pretty good considering but it was seized.

I had the car on stands, its an easy job if there is no heat-shield so guess what's not going back on. lol. 3m stick-on heat-shield will do the job nicely. :thumbsup:

yeh 2nd gear at about 2k revs. i was behind someone going slow so i wasnt even pushing it.. i mean it was 6am.. i was tired. then bang black smoke. that woke me up good.

hasnt been in the car for even half a year..

n yeh ive turned the boost right down as it wasnt tuned yet..

I don't really want to dob the shop in as he is looking after us with a warranty, it was a ball bearing highflow though.

Due to the damage to the housings it looks like he is going bigger than mine.

Nice, how do you plan to get it running?

I still think its a downgrade unless you go forged internals...

You are suffocating the engine if that has the stock turbo on it. You will be on boost at idle. lol.

The engine will be built, and it will run a bigger turbo.

Firstly though, I need to sort out the EMS and get a manual conversion happening. My tuner tried on the Haltech and said it isn't compatible, something to do with the pulses, I forget what exactly.

Has anyone made any headway in manual conversions for the M35?

Is the R34 GTR gearbox with bellhousing modifications the go?

Im about to go down this path myself but I think I will hold off on my 3.5 build for now for the very reason you are having now, people dont understand these engines. You will have to go standalone, PS2000 or motec m800 or similar which means you may not have the dash, attessa abs etc. Will you be paying a mechanic to learn all about this engine?

Pulses? I guess he means the crank sensor? Better find a new tuner... What Haltech was he using anyway?

What prompted this change over? Did you damage your engine? Do you still have it?

Point taken. I have just been on a few forums where people fit stuff, then say how good it is without hard data. I can't really 'feel' your 'seat of the pants' performance upgrade.

Just want numbers that's all.

    • As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.
    • Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy  
    • FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart
    • I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.
    • Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.
