Hey Guys,

Has anyone got any specs for the r33 hi-flow turbo slide use to do? what cartridge did he use? I think he use to call it a stage 3, rated at 250rwkw, max over size wheels for the housings. I'm trying to chase up a bit more information so Toshi on the forum can tune my standard ECU by mail to suit this turbo. Also does anyone have a dyno sheet with this turbo fitted?

I searched through the archives but couldn't find to much more information, btw what happened to slide and sliding performance??? he hasn't been active since last year and his trading website is down?

Thanks,

Brett.

Good luck trying to guess a tune :/

Perhaps have a search, there were threads on them from 3-4yrs ago, that would be the best bet for info.

My understanding is he uses saved maps from previous similar tunes and modifications, from searching I have found other customers that have had success with toshi remapped ECU's. I barely drive the thing anymore, just looking for the cheapest/easiest way to get it tuned for more boost without hitting R&R.

Had a search through many pages of threads from years ago, can't find much specific information, lost cause I guess :(

^^^ incorrect on the first part.

The waiting list got out of hand and Aaron had a disagreement with a partner, meaning he started to look bad as so many people guessed what was happening and then others repeated it.

End of the day, it was more profitable for him to get out of automotive and into another industry.

On topic; guessing a tune is just silly. The poor man does everything twice. Unless you're in a rural area with no access to a dyno, take it to a local tuner and be upfront about your budget and say you're happy to wait as you're not a high paying customer. Good luck with it, however you end up doing it :)

Not rural, but it's Toowoomba... There are actually a fair few dyno's but most of them only cater for diesels and the ones that can tune petrol turbos usually can't do it well and don't have a good rep. I have had bad experiences trying to get a PFC tuned in Toowoomba and wasted a fair bit of money only to have a car that could barely idle. That's when I gave up on it, sold the pfc and other supporting mods.

You and r31 are right, I'm just a bit lazy and didn't want to drive an hour to Brisbane to get it tuned. Toshi I found out is actually heading up to the gold coast/brissy next weekend to do tuning, might have to hit him up.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.

      The old approach was to fill the cylinder/chamber with a length of rope pushed in through the sparkplug hole. The new approach is to connect compressed air to the sparkplug hole and fill it with enough pressure to push the valves up. Doing either of these things with the head on and the engine in the car is a lot less pleasant than doing it properly.

      Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
