No need for a pod mate, you will only go backwards. simply cut a few holes on the side of the airbox if you think the snorkel is restricting flow. I have seen nearly 500kw through a cotton panel element.

Braided hoses won't help much, they are only rated to 200 degrees anyway. Bring it around again sometime and we can try and run new rubber hoses over the top of the engine. Or when we do the oil cooler perhaps.

Moh, you are the bitch. :P

Update:

Car issue all sorted

Ended up being a faulty CAS

22 psi down to 18 psi, conservative tune to make sure it is all ok.

Then will be coming back with 2-3 degrees more timing (~20rwkw) and up to 6 psi boost

Top line no airbox

2nd line airbox restriction

30kw gain from not having the airbox lid is interesting, shame we didn't run it up with the lid on and no filter though.

Yes will have to book my car again in the future to modify that airbox :/

holy shit mother f**ker yoda and shit.

you got the 350 you wanted on 98, and then add some for E85. (this is on E85 yeah?)

Yeah tune is on e85

Trent said its going to go over 400rwkw easily once we bump up the timing again and boost

But yeah don't need that much power! Happy with my airbox limited 350rwkw for now lol

Haven't even had a chance to boot it yet, wonder if I will have traction....

Interested about the airbox issue my tuner told me same of being held back some kws due to the airbox. But I've also seen people proving that there are no gains with pods.

Depends at what power level I spose

Im sure at 280rwkw difference would be neglible but once you get up in power it makes power harder to get rather than a brick wall restriction

Updates?

Sorry no real updates, have been overseas and taken a step back from working on the car

I think its time to stop spending money on cars lol

In saying that hit a rock in the middle of the freeway that split my lower lip.

So that will get fixed with the insurer along with fixing the whole front bumper, then when I get money a set of D9R's then i think im set :)

what body kit is that mate? looks crazy

Just a Ztune kit mate :)

I was following your thread really closely up until/before you got the kit (and it was still white haha)

Ermagersh you have come a long way man, absolutely balls to wall in terms of the build. Hoping to follow a similar path when I get off p's; in terms of the GTR kit.

PS
I looked up JDL they really don't ship to AUS :'(

    • Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?
    • Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
    • I have seen enough fire and brimstone from TSBs about roloc disks causing spun bearings that foreign object contamination is top of mind for me. For sufficiently large particles you might be right but usually it’s a distribution of debris and some of the larger particles can also break down and shed bits. If local shops report RTV contamination in a turbo is enough to wreck them I’m taking zero chances if I can help it.
