A week under my car on my back in the cold, and its only just finished. Give me a while to rest please. :)

You would have to buy the turbo, leave your car with me for a week or two and leave a big wad of notes when you pick it up. The result is amazing though. I need to plumb the screamer back in soon, it hits boost too quick to catch the gate sometimes. Its a matter of time before someone hears. :whistling:

Im not removing all my gear, I just installed it... :nyaanyaa:

To make a jig for the exhaust (dump/front pipe) I would need a lot more space than I have available. You saw the state of my little workshop. Perhaps you should wait until I upgrade. lol.

gahhhhhh i call dibs on your used setup...again..!

Its a pleasure to drive, the large housing really improves the low end and gives a more gradual rise in power, like a V8. Its running rich as at the moment so its going to make a few kw thats for sure.

As im running the exhaust temp sensor before the turbo now I can lean out the fuel at cruise, its running 17:1 at the moment no problem, only seeing 650 degrees. It does feel a bit doughy with less bang from the mix but if I get Cihan to tune it a little richer just above cruise it should feel perfect.

Thanks. I cant wait for the tune. :thumbsup:

Anyone have an F-con V pro laying around?

No, but you can get this one :)

The money is delayed for about another month for me so no can do for those $1k+ Fcons :(

:rofl: I assume all of you kids rang them? Hopeless, the lot of ya :P How much did they end up wanting for it? Was it the 'FIrst edition' of the Fcon V Pro?

Nah, but I did send an email.

Very early Fcon V pro which does not have the option of VQ25det.

Good for R33 GTR though.

Oh, and the price magically changed from $550 to $1000.... lol

Ah cool. Good to know. I take it theres no option to upgrade the firmware on the units?

thats a pretty sweet magic trick!

    • Jap premium will be 100 RON. You should use 98.
    • The exhaust gases are at their highest temperature as they leave the exhaust port and enter the manifold. They cool as they flow through the manifold because they transfer heat to the manifold and the manifold loses heat to the surrounding environment. Thus, inevitably, the exhaust gases are cooler as they enter the turbo compared to when they entered the exhaust manifold. So, yes, the exhaust manifold can easily get as hot as the turbine housing. Having said that, you will generally see the highest temperatures where the exhaust gases have to slow down or they are concentrated into one area - which is usually the collector on the manifold and in the turbine housing, because the gases slam into the metal at those places, increasing the convective heat transfer coefficient and transferring even more heat to the metal than they might just flowing past elsewhere. Exhaust manifold heat shields are a good idea - certainly for the stock manifold they are there from the factory. People seldom have anything like that on a tubular manifold because they are hard to achieve. Some might wrap a tube manifold with fibreglass tape - but this has a reputation of leading to cracked welds. The best case is generally to put ceramic coating onto the manifold to prevent it getting as hot (internal coating) and radiating/convecting heat into the bay (external coating). All the real heat from a turbo comes from the exhaust side. The gases entering are at ~800-900°C and the steel/iron gets nearly that hot. The compressor side is only going to heat the charge air up to <<200°C (typically not much more than 100°C). So that's nothing, by comparison. The compressor is not a significant source of engine bay heat.
    • Late to the party, specifically joined this forum as I just bought one of these and this thread has been a gold mine of info. If the OP is still around, mind if I ask what gas you been putting in yours? Mine has a Japanese sticker in the cap saying premium but it seems to get way worse mileage on premium (95) than 91. I always thought it was meant to be the other way round🤷 I do think Nissans claimed "6l/100km" is a bit fantastical 😂
    • Does exhaust manifold get hot as turno exhuast side? I have a turbo cover to managr heat in the engine bay but  nothing is covering the exhaust manifold before turbo   i know as turbo does compress air, the temp does go up however does that mean exhaust manifold would be as hot?
    • It's excellent but I'm still breaking it in so I'm not 100% sure where it'll end up. I would say it's about 15% heavier than stock and the smoothness of the slip zone is quite progressive but you need to be a little patient compared to stock or it'll bite hard and stall. Stock I got away with absolutely horrid clutch control. Like I said before I couldn't even tell where the clutch would grab when it was stock so releasing way too quickly without enough revs it would just slip and the revs would drop lower than ideal but that would be the end of it. Currently there's a bit of a nasty clutch judder if I don't apply enough revs + find the exact wrong point of the slip point in the clutch pedal but it feels like it's slowly resolving as I drive it more. I would not recommend the competition clutch unless you really need the extra clamp force. I think this clutch combined with the Nismo operating cylinder is going to be exactly what I want. Enough bite that you need to remember the release point to avoid stalling or rough shifts, but progressive enough that it's not hard to drive by any means and not heavy at all. I tried a "super single" clutch on my friend's 997.2 Turbo 6MT and that was absolutely horrid. It runs an electrohydraulic power steering pump for the clutch power boost so there's zero feedback in the clutch pedal and there was a horrific clutch shudder well after break-in due to the lack of marcel springs or hub springs in the friction disk. It felt like the slip zone was the thickness of a single toe twitch as well so it was almost impossible to avoid stalling it unless you gave it a ton of revs and just dumped the clutch instead of trying to be smooth with it. I was terrified of pulling out in front of traffic. I have also tried some kind of "super single" on an EK9 and that makes this twin plate Coppermix look like a stock clutch. Releasing the clutch pedal even slightly too quickly feels like you're getting rear-ended. The pedal is extremely heavy as well and there's no vacuum assist like the GTR.
