very decent results with your car there mate.

I have a question and I guess it is more of a technical question though..

with all the talk of skyline turbo's and ceramic wheels dieing over x psi and so forth..

your's at 14psi and still going for god knows how long and according to the mag, more than 100 1/4 passes in that form..

common theory of the ceramic exhaust wheel breakage is too much boost which results in too high exhaust temps which break them.

so with the use of NO2, what effect if any does it have on the exhaust temps?

is this the reason for your turbo still living today?

also, is your NO2 disconnected in someway when outside WSID?

what sort of boost is dialed in during street driving?

thanks and all the best.

Exhaust temps actually go up with Nitrous Oxide usage. Boost spikes to 14psi on the bottle but only very briefly. Over-speeding of the turbine wheel can cause it to delaminate from the shaft - not always JUST heat related.

I don't drive around with the bottle in the car when I'm on the street and when I drive to the track it certainly isn't connected. Theorhetically I should also have the solenoids isolated with blanking jets but that sounds too much like hard work to me :D

Boost for street driving is usually your regulation 8-9psi with the EBC turned off. That's where it lives most all of the time. Off.

Thanks heaps guys, girls and pusseh boys like brett :)

      I swear at my GKTech ones every time I have to take them apart and replace a spherical. But I wouldn't swap them for anything else. They absolutely slay every other option, at least in terms of how they actually work. You sure you don't want to live with bearings? I mean, they don't have "ball bearings". They are rod ends and sphericals throughout. Tough as nuts, even though I have found more than one way to wear them out.

      From when I was looking at getting the 86 engineered for the turbo, the joint said to put in a few euro 5 or 6 cats, then tune the car on a nice clean E85 tune When I was looking at a turbo for the MX5, it was basically the same thing, a couple of cats and a nice clean tune Although, it will depend on the year of the Jeep IRT emmisions standards required, and what mods are done, especially if it has a newer engine installed that requires a higher Euro

      Yeah - but it's not actually that easy. There are limits for HC, CO, NOx and particulates. Particulates shouldn't be a concern in any petrol engine unless trying to comply to the very latest Euro standard. But getting a tune right so that all the others stay within limits AT THE SAME TIME is not a trivial exercise. You couldn't possibly get it right by just guessing at the tuner's dyno, unless he had a 4 gas analyser up the pipe, which is not often the case these days. It used to be. Every decent shop that did "tune ups" (as opposed to tuning) would have a 4 gas analsyer. Perhaps there's still quite a few of them around these days. But most "tuners" are only watching O2 and power readings.

      Slight segway but the most expensive part of the whole thing which I would have thought would only be required for an engine size/type swap, not a VIV test, is emissions testing.  That's when you get into the big bucks.  I can't remember the exact price now but I got quotes for the GT-R based on swapping to RB30 (not that anyone bothers doing it legally anymore...) and it was around $4500 just for that alone.  The guy that does them manipulates the tune on the vehicle to make sure it passes.  The cheaper option is to book into Kangan Batman Tafe (I think that's where it was) and hire their tester.  Allegedly you're not allowed in there with the car though so not in a position to tweak anything to make sure the vehicle passes.  I'm sure in this day and age of ultra tuneable ECU's you could get the tuner to program a special efficiency (clean) tune that emits the lowest amount of particulates possible that would pass the test.  It might only make 50kW's but as long as it passed who cares!

      I'm sure he has left signs, or, he is looking down, laughing That's my cunning plan for when I leave, lots of half finished projects, with no rhyme or reason of where I was actually up to, just to keep everyone on their toes
