firstly let me just say that he changed the plugs and gave it a routine service fitted the supra FMIC as low as possible to get more airflow, recoed the drive shafts (fitted too) then tuned the car, then did a horsepower test. This all for the sum of $420. I was pissed about waiting but for $420 he has looked after me.

And the dyno result is............................ you'll have to wait because he can't print it until he gets some paper for it which is Friday.

Sorry

get this, I went to flow tech EFI to run the car on the dyno again and all of a sudden the motor starts running shit. Then it starts knocking intermittently. So he has a look and says, 'you've broken a valve spring, I'll have it fixed on monday' . So in short I haven't got the dyno print out yet.

BTW, I did 0-100kmh in 6.1 seconds today with a bit of wheel spin. If I can get it to launch with just a chirp I am sure I could do 5.8 seconds.

Found out the turbo let go and sent bits of bearing through the motor... expensive, but cheaper than fitting another motor.  Looking for one in WTB section.

if its the standard r32 turbo then it may have over boosted and the ceramic wheel/sharft let go common thing to happen, probibly less damage to the engine than you might think. have it checked before spending $1200 on a new engine/$400 for a new turbo from shops or 1/2 that from the for sale section on here!

Been offered some parts. I put an add in the WTB section and I have 2 options from that.

Apparently on Daves Silvia page he quotes a magazine articly that states the turbo is good for 1.2bar or 17 psi. Mine wasn't running anything near that and the mechanic said it is a bushing not the bearing that crapped itself as it is a ball bearing unit. The turbo was still spooling up around 10psi when the motor was running crap so it probably isn't too bad. I will modify the wastegate to run higher boost too because the bushing screwing up was probably causing the heat in the turbo. Anyway, we'll see when I get the car back.

I also had the rev limiter at 6800, I am going to change it up to the factory setting of 7500 so I can hopefully get a 0-100 down from 6.1seconds to something in the 5's

Just got the call, turbo is totally rooted, the mechanic told me to stay away from getting another one. He also said to get an RB25 which should run 15 psi or get mine rebuild with a VL turbo Impeller which can flow 450hp. But that would cost $1500 which I don't have.

I think I'll get the RB25 turbo.

    • Howdy all,   I had my rb25det S2 rebuilt and finally started it today but have run into a few issues  Engine sounds like a a diesel easiest way to summarise like small ticking, gets louder when revs are slightly adjusted  The engine builder repainted the engine cover leaving no where for me to go off with lining up the CAS so have it as central as possible so not sure it that could be affecting it?, changed the gearbox fluid too but won’t seem to go into gear when running, and only 1 to 4 when off having a hard time finding 5th and reverse anyone got any ideas or a base for me to start off? much appreciated 
    • Well, no. It's an 023, which is pretty similar to an 040. Although it is hard to tell from the specs, as given.
    • Hmm. Maybe the (other thing I forgot about!) Haltech removes at least some, if not all, of the problem I described. I guess there is still the possibility of getting it wrong if the AC is set up/wired up for the Haltech as if it was in an R34 (simply because it's on a Neo), and that's playing foul with the R32 AC computer.
