So I'm going to try to do some more work on my turbo manifold.
(https://i.imgur.com/3znnSI1.jpg)
I modeled the tube intersections in 3D today and made a cutting template, since I don't have a way to do a rig for my band-saw.
So hopefully tomorrow I'll have some parts made up for the merge collector for a T3 flange.

simpel question
why not buy an collector? LOL
Jan 1, 2012, 12:53 pm · #959
Because I don't have $500 for one... Besides, I have the materials and tools to do it.
Jan 1, 2012, 12:58 pm · #960
nice. what turbo are you going with?

Donno yet, something T3 more than likely.

Hmm... It would seem that I can't quite get the cut that I want with my band-saw, at least not with the cutting guides that I made.
I might have to make two angled jigs, but it's not an easy set up on my saw.
Maybe I should just cut them on the mill at work, which might be a little easier set up and more consistent.
I also might have to buy a length of 1.5" tube, as I don't have quite as much material as I thought. :lol:

I did another quick street tuning session, because I was getting a slight miss in the upper RPM range... Seems it was a little lean...
So it's wanting 107%+ injector duty... This thing keeps wanting more and more fuel.
If my calculations are correct, I'm pushing 330BHP... With room to make more, if I get bigger injectors.
WTF? :lol:
All this on a "big" T25.
Post Merge: 12:28:10 AM / 02-Jan-12
UNLESS the misfire is causing it to put in more fuel (misfire = unburnt fuel = more oxygen in exhaust), which would mean that it'll just keep enriching it until it can't put any more in.
Maybe tomorrow I'll close the gap down more on the plugs (I think it's at .035 right now), and give it a little more dwell (at 3.5ms now).
Jan 8, 2012, 12:12 am · #962
what size injectors do you have now?
Post Merge: 12:12:41 AM / 08-Jan-12
also what is a big t25 lol
Jan 8, 2012, 12:33 am · #963
They're 450CC @ 60PSI, which makes them 528CC. I'm thinking I really need something in the 700CC range.
A big T25 is just the T25g from an S13 SR.
Jan 8, 2012, 8:01 pm · #964
I can get you 750's on the cheap if your ever looking to upgrade.
And I thought the big t25 was the one from the sr but wasn't sure if you had some sort of hybrid lol that's alot of power your making on 15psi I'm at 15 psi on the same turbo but mine isn't tuned or nearly as modded as yours also I have lower compression lol

Feb 6, 2012, 7:43 pm · #966
for the injectors ? well i bought my 1000's that i had for 250 so 750's should be right in the same range or cheaper honda guys are always changin shit here so they sell their stuff for pretty cheap....

Well I found two Transpo part numbers that look to be correct, even though they aren't listed for Nissan alternators... Then again, that one I bought was listed as a cross referenced part for my alt and it doesn't fit.
Hopefully I can return this one and get the other one.

If you have some skills in electronics, it's not too hard to build one... But there are a few PnP options now for Nissans.

What do you think of these trigger wheels? http://www.diyautotune.com/catalog/50-mm-optical-trigger-wheel-for-nissan-sr20det-or-ka24de-p-472.html I am thinking about going megasquirt on a sr20 and I wanted to use a 36-1 trigger disc but no one around here I trust enough to weld it on perfect lol. Unless you want to do it, then I'll ship it your way lol
Feb 19, 2012, 12:47 am · #978
Been there, tried that. ;)
Unfortunately I wasn't real happy with many of the replacement trigger discs, the only one I've ever been able to get to work correctly was my modified stock disc.
Honestly, if I were to do it again, I wouldn't weld on the 36-1 wheel the way I did... I was careful on how I did it, but welding heat and a rubber bonded balancer don't usually mix.
If you really want to do it right, pick up a Ross or ATI damper pulley, they both have bolt on accessory drive pulleys and could bolt on the wheel no problem.
Of course those are a little pricey, worth it IMO.
Edit:
Of course, maybe I'm just too picky... With the trigger discs, the engine runs just fine, but the timing drifts as the RPM rises... I was looking for rock solid numbers, which apparently can't be done with just a cam sensor.

Well, I got the pump replaced... Hopefully I don't have to reseal it, I didn't realize that I was out of RTV until after I had drained the coolant and had the old pump off.
SO... I had to use some high quality 100% silicone caulk, not really my first choice, but I think it will be ok.
If I have to reseal it, oh well... Not a huge deal.
I also need to flush my coolant, get some fresh stuff in there. There was a small hint of oil in it from the rebuild (yes I reused it, coolant is expensive!), but it still does the job.
I at least strained it, there was some particles in it.

Feb 26, 2012, 2:39 am · #984

Nah
Somehow I managed to start bending the muffler in half with out damaging any exhaust tubing.
Not exactly sure how, but the best I can figure is that I must have backed into my parking spot at work with a large snow bank behind it.
But it's not like it was hard ice, just a fresh snow bank... And mufflers aren't exactly easy to crush.

The E30's magnaflow is all ballooned from the high RPM fireballs that come out while shifting. Overrun fireballs are awesome.
Just a matter of time until it banana's. Should be an interesting day.
Feb 26, 2012, 2:32 pm · #986
Maybe mine is from too much time on the flat shift? It doesn't look like it's from overpressure... Maybe I'm wrong? :lol:
And yes, overrun fireballs are awesome... I love the sound from it too.

I need to do something about my gas tank... I'm getting really tired of my pump sucking air on hard accel when the tank is at 1/8.
Any ideas? Besides keeping the level over 1/8. :lol:
I wonder if making the baffle taller would help, and maybe get the pump lower in the tank.

SR alternator repair, part deux... This one looks exactly like the original, with the exception of the extra capacitor (which will only help cut down on alternator noise).
Everything seems to match up with the measurements that I took last time I had the alt apart, so... I'll find out soon enough.
Post Merge: 09:54:33 PM / 22-Mar-12
Well that failed. No output at all with that regulator, which maybe it's a bad reg? I donno.
I don't really want to return this one for yet another exchange, then have to disassemble the alt again (it's a pain, but I'm pretty good at it now!)
I think I'll just replace it with a Quest alt and be done.

Apr 22, 2012, 10:49 am · #995
The fuel gauge is just one that I could find that closely matches the stock sender, a 90 to 0 VW type I think...
Speedo is easy, 4 wires.. two power, two directly off the s13 speedo sensor, then all you have to do is program the pulses per mile.
