Hi guys

I got my hands on a T4 (XTR) Turbo. ball bearing,high-flow etc. I managed to source it from a guy who literally forgot he had it. I came across it when we were moving stuff out of his garage and I bought it for peanuts.

I'm wondering what other components are vital to be installed prior/with having the T4 installed. My initial thoughts as per SAU is:

FMIC

Z32 AFM

Boost controller

Injectors

Fuel pump

ECU

Although I've heard other responses where they've advised FMIC, controller, and ECU should be sufficient until 'x' amount of power.

I'm not chasing massive power gains.. but the more I read this back to myself, the more I sound impatient. Lol.

Lol.. awesome response to my last post.

..anyway, just thought I would update my thread and post my pretty wheels.

19" Work TE37s. Fronts are 8.5", rears are 9.5" +22

The rears came with 275/35 rubber but was too wide and caused it to rub against the perch of the strut.. so I had to get 235/30. Although it may have been different if I had coilovers installed rather than the upgraded Juran branded stuff that's on there atm.

Btw, the 275/35's are for sale! Plenty of tread on them! http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/395678-fs-stockies-with-rubber-and-rubber/

lads, just a quick question..

I have a pod filter (airynx) on C34 (99, s2 neo) installed a FMIC, replaced coilpacks (splitfire) and upgraded to larger injectors.. at the moment its still driving a bit rough

would upgraded injectors call for a new tune?

Bigger injectors without a tune will make it run rich and more than likely foul the plugs causing a misfire.

I don't mean any disrespect but if you have done this maybe you should research things a bit more first before doing upgrades like this. Saves you any dramas.

I was told, via SAU, the injectors wouldn't cause an issue as the increase of CC's wasn't off the charts.. its no biggy. I can take them out and eliminate the items one by one. but from other threads, I thought I was going down a common path.

    • Well some mostly good news and some slight bad news.  Good news is cylinder 6 did in fact only require a honing and I'm good to run my 86.5mm pistons again. I should also get the block back by end of week. Bad news, had a few surprises pop up. First, main and rod bearings were trashed. No sign of any heat damage. I knew right away what caused this... I had not packed my oil pump originally and spent a lot more time than I would have liked cranking the motor to get oil pressure. It sounded fine once started so I chucked it up to luck and forgot about it. Luckily rod and crank are fine and just need new bearings. Engine builder agreed that this was the cause.    Another surprise that carbon covered up very well that I didn't catch, something got sucked up and went through cylinder 1, 2 and 3. Luckily this was no cause for concern, just needed a bit of cleaning up. Valves look fine but he will vacuum test the head this week to confirm. I'm presuming this was something left over from welding my intercooler piping, but we'll never know. I'm going to thoroughly reclean everything.    So all in all, happy the motor is fine, and I'll get it back much sooner than expected. I'll also be taking the time to convert my WMI system over to direct port. I'll snap some pictures of that when the parts come in. 
    • I understand, thanks. Yeah I wouldn't want the car to tip over, I'll try and use the sills, I don't want to risk smashing the chassis rails. I ordered some rubber pucks that have a hopefully big enough slotting. If the front right gives me trouble I can always just make a wood block. I'll measure and inspect the sills closer once I actually take the car up. I hope so, but the rubber blocks I had in hand so far were pretty damn firm, if they are that hard they won't give much way. I'll let you know what happens. Angle grinding rubber isn't one of my favorite tasks. I'll probably start a build thread soon, for my own documentation and "log" as well as sharing what's going on with the car.
    • Kinda something I have been thinking about.  To be honest, we bought it already driving like that.  So there's no telling how long it actually has been driving like this.  Hopefully damage is too bad when we drop the pan.   I am having a hard time finding a site that sells the solenoid for the 5 speed auto, do you have any suggestions?
    • That'll be most likely down the road...  LOL  
    • a stock / option or aftermarket?
