Hey guys, i just replaced my standard rb20 injectors with gtr ones, had to take 35% off the overall fuel trim on the wolf 3d so it wouldnt blow clouds of black smoke, the af ratio on the apexi turbo timer reads 13-1 with a 4000rpm jab of the gas, dont no how acurate it is but. Would you just drive it nice and easy to the dyno or pay the $150 to put it on a tow truck, thanks.

If it starts and runs, and seems to drive o/k, then driving it will not do any damage AT SMALL THROTTLE OPENINGS.

If it is dangerously out of tune, you will know because of the stalling, hesitations, missing, or jerkiness, and it will let you know something is desperately wrong. But even then it will not damage the motor unless you really thrash it.

It is like running out of petrol. The car coughs a bit and stops. You don't melt pistons, break rings, or burn valves just because you run out of petrol.

Take it real easy, and it will be fine.

i would drive it

BUT - keep it off boost. I had to do the same sort of thing when i changed my afm's and injectors, amongst other things. Added enough fuel so it idled and ran, but i kept way off boost. God knows what would have happened with an untuned pfc, larger injectors and some boost

thanks guys, as this was replied to again i thought id let you no that it drove fine. when the turbo started to spool it was blowing a bit of black smoke so i took a fraction more fuel out and just drove it nice and easy.

    • Did you get any down time over Christmas, or have you had any since to play with this? Or have you given up and are trying to get yourself a second hand V8SC instead?
    • A random thought I had just before I hit "Submit on this post". If brake fluid, in a container in my garage that has never been opened goes bad after 18 months, why can I leave it in my car for 24 months in an "unsealed container"... Secondly, some other digging, and brake fluid manufacturers seem to be saying 5 year shelf life... Me thinks there line on 18 months for an unsealed bottle is pretty much horse shit marketing spin. Kind of like how if you drive a car and don't run a turbo timer your turbo and motor will die horribly...   Where I started on this though... Someone (me) started down a bit of a rabbit hole, I don't quite have the proper equipment to do Equilibrium Reflux boiling per the proper test standards. I did a little digging on YouTube, and this was the first video I found on someone attempting to "just boil it". This video isn't overly scientific, as we don't have a known reference for his test either. Inaccuracy in his equipment could have him reaching the 460 to 470f boiling point range in reality. In the video, using a laser temp gun, he claims his Dot3 that's been open in his florida garage for over a year gets to about 420 to 430 fahrenheit (215 to 221c) Doing some googling, I located an MSDS for that specific oil, and from new, it claims a dry boiling point of 460 to 470f. Unfortunately they don't list a wet boiling point for us to see how far it degraded toward its "wet" point. While watching it I was thinking "I wonder what the flash point is..." turns out its only 480f for that specific brake fluid....   As for testing the oil's resistance, I might not be able to accurately do that unfortunately. Resistance level will be quite a LOT higher than my system can read I suspect based on some research. However, I might be able to do it by measuring the current when I apply a specific voltage. I won't have an actual water % value, but I'll have some values I can compare between the multitude of fluids. I'll run some vague calculations later and see if I should be able to read any reliable amount of current. These calcs will be based on some values I've found for other oils, and see how close I'll need my terminals together. From memory I can get down to 1pA accuracy on the DMM. I don't think my IOT Power Tester has any better resolution.    
    • No, with a twin plate clutch flywheels and clutch pressure plate/friction disks go together. Only clutch where that isn't the case is the Uniclutch but they currently don't make a pull version for the Getrag R34, just some other cars. Personally the flywheel is as light as I'd want it to be. It already drops revs faster than I want to shift normally and I blip the throttle again to rev match on upshifts.
    • Are there any other lighter flywheels that can be used with nismo coppermix twinplate system? Id like to gave the revs pick up faster than oem
    • RB20/25 covers don’t have threaded fasteners stock like RB26 covers. They are blind rivets so I will need to drill out and tap threads. I bought some M4x6mm button heads and will report back once done if I chose correctly length wise.    have also got some loctite
