Hi all..

I want to know how much boost I can run with what I've done to the motor..

I will be getting a stand alone management system soon but here is what has been done..

I've put forged pistons in (Weisco 8.4 comp).. shot peened the rods, ARP rod bolts, balanced and polished crank, everything has been balanced, new rings of course, bored and honed, square decked. ARP head studs, port and polished head, standard cams, re ground valves, standard springs, hi flowed the turbo (capable of up to about 250kw at the wheels), front mount intercooler, 3 inch exuast.

(I havent got upraged fuel injectors yet but will be doing so, just not sure what to get yet)... I have a series 1 skyline but apparently when I took my turbo in, the guy said it was a series 2 turbo, maybe the whole motor is series 2 which means the injectors will be. I've heard that the series 2 injectors flow alot better!..

Anyway, what you think guys??

injectors are same for series 1 or 2. your bulder should have given you a power target and boost level. you will need an aftermarket ecu and injectors before you can up the boost pressure. also what exhaust? 3inch what? what dump? what front? what cat? what air intake have u got?

Well that's interesting caus I was told series 2 had better injectors... hhmmm...

Standard intake atm, dunno brand of exuast, mandrel bend, yeah, i'm aware that you need bigger injectors, aftermarket ecu, etc... I've done my homework.. I think I'll just run 15psi when it's setup correctly...

The machinist aren't building my engine.. I'm doing it myself with my cousin (who builds engines quite a bit.. they are just preping the block and parts...

exhaust will make a big difference to your final output and how it runs so don't just seelte for "should be good enough" find out. you should have at least a 3" split dump system hiflow cat and 3" catback.

series 2 injectors are same as series 1, 370cc will max out after 200rwkw

well over 300rwkw easily supported on that setup, considering you have forgies and lowered compression ratio from standard.

get some good cams and just add boost from a decent size turbo and watch the power skyrocket :O

      Powder coating wheels

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm interested if anyone agrees with what you've said, and can give a good reason. Temperature of powder coating should be below any temperature you'd use to alter the wheel structure.  Powder coat typically 200 to 250. Annealing if that's what people are claiming would be occuring, starts at 300, and depending on the alloy, can need even up at 400+.   That's the only part I can think of that could cause an issue that people are believing it's from the rim losing hardness and becoming too soft.

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Negative probe should be on the cars chassis. Positive on the wire.   Start as said above by unplugging everything (unplug the lights, and switches. Now at the switch, there is a wire from the fuse, to the switch, so out your positive on that terminal. It should read open circuit. If it reads something, especially a stupid low value, the short is somewhere between the fuse and the switch. If that's fine, now put the positive probe on the wire that goes to the headlight (at the switch plug). If it reads stupid low, the fault is from the switch, to the headlight.   Another quick test, is take the whole LED light setup from the left, and plug it into the right side, does it still blow the fuse? If you put the right hand side led light setup on the left hand side wiring, does the left hand side wiring now blow?  If the blowing fuse swaps from right to left doing this, your LED lights are the issue.

      Anyone know if it's a problem to powder coat forged alloy wheel centers (Rays/Volk GT-C). some say it's bad and can damage the alloy, some say it's not a problem.

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      Hey guys, I'm reviving an old post but I'm finally getting around to working on this now. I removed the battery to get a better look at the wires and i traced the wires from the headlight to the fuse box in the engine bay, but the wiring looks fine? The wiring for the R/H headlight is 3 wires and then is bundled up with the large diameter wire that goes underneath the fuse box. I didn't take it apart yet. I know you said that its a short circuit somewhere between the fuse box and the headlight. But could it be the headlight switch on the dash? Also, i pulled out my multi-meter and set it on the Ohms, but i'm not sure where to put the negative probe and the positive probe.
