It's go time tomorrow ?
-
Power steering feed line fitting machined up and trans cooler thermo bypass mounted.
-
Slowly slowly
-
Got it bolted back this afternoon after doing heaps of little things around the engine that are hard to get to when it's bolted in. Still heaps of fiddly little shit to go though
-
New timing chains in finally, new water pump and thermostat. Should have it bolted back in tomorrow. Grabbed a turbo oil filter so no shit gets in there to f**k it.
-
Yep. Everything has silicone on it to seal it up, including water hoses onto pipes. I bought a dud...
-
It's a Billet Intense RS I bought from Scotty a few years ago. You'll find heaps of info on it in the turbo upgrade thread, but good for 500hp he says.
-
Engine harness is all but done. A few little brackets to be made and two more connectors needed. It's 10x neater than what it was. Injector harness is almost fully tucked. Degreased the engine bay as I'm 95% ready to bolt the engine up to the body. Someone else has already been in here before me.

Got my fancy new adjustable IWG all sorted out ? According to my calibrated test rig, it doesn't open until 18-19psi now. ?

nm35 transmission oil cooler setup?

Bypass it all together and buy one of these. I'm setting mine up with one and I know of another guy who has run one of these in the Perth heat. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fp%2F1817760421%3Fiid%3D202564437526 -
I got the engine to a stage where I could bolt the gearbox back on and drop it on the subframe. I can easily roll it all out for the remaining work to do on it for ease of access. Had more delays in timing chains not being in stock locally and having to get them from Japan again and they won't be here until next weekend. Have some small bits coming from over East too which were supposed to be here by Friday but not coming until next Thursday, otherwise I would have bolted the whole lot back in the car.

Heads on, cams in and timing cover on. Just had to fit up covers to see if the colour combo works!
-
Making progress now. Bottom end is all assembled and ARP head studs are in.
-
Buy an OBD tool and download full version of Hobdrive off Google play store. It will throw a code if anything electrical is wrong, easiest way to figure out what is wrong.

Finished re-sleeving the whole harness tonight finally. What a mission but I think the outcome will pay off with a much neater engine bay. All I need to do is buy some larger clear heat shrink so I can branch the connectors off to where they need to go. I won't tee it all off though until its on the engine as I might be able to re route some it to further neaten it up. Not Rywire or Chase bays spec but gives it that little extra professionalism. Got the turbo back from getting rebuilt by MTQ as well. Shaft and cartridge journals were scored, some bent turbine fins and a small crack in the rear housing. The rod bearings are going to be here until January now, so when I get back from Holidays it's go, go, go!

Don't like how big and bulky the airbox is and the stupid sound suppression part that just collects sand! Started off like this Chopped it in half and then I was left with this nice flat surface to adhere the new mounting section to. Also noticed that the round section actually sits outside the chassis rail in the wheel arch, so incorporated a cold air intake port into the new piece.
-
Not much of an update but painted N1 vents and parking stick thingo. Also cut out the middle of the bumper to suit the new plates and gain more airflow as these like to run hot.
-
Built both heads up today. Only put Supertech valve stem seals in and OEM for the rest as there are no aftermarket springs or valves available for these. I now have a 4 week delay on rod bearings from Japan so that's pretty much all I can do until the new year.
-
Cleaned up the front subframe and resprayed. So much oil and CV grease covering it. Fitted new inner LCA Whiteline bushes after I cleaned the LCAs up. Bolted it all up including coilovers so that I can drop the motor on later and roll it around easily to get it back underthe car.
-
It gets it from the throttle body and is common for them to fail. There is a thread somewhere in how to fix the unit. Possibly PM Scotty and he could help.
-
It's not my car haha. Neither is the workshop but the Falcoon is pretty rough for a drag car
-
Slowly making progress with the parts trickling in ACL Race Series mains ready for crank install. Still waiting on rod bearings as I ordered the wrong ones. Rings and rod bolts still in transit from Nissan. ARP head studs awaiting install once I buy some Supertech valve stem seals to build the heads. Modified a China special power steering reservoir as the OEM rubber hoses keep leaking. This mounts up to the factory bracket and will use braided line with JIC fittings so no more leaks Re wired the knock sensor sub harness and slipped some basalt heat sleeve over it. This is the new injector plug as they share a common earth and made it impossible to sleeve each individual injector. It still has a single earth on the harness side but the sub harness now has 6 earths. All i'm waiting on to finish the loom is some more heat sleeving which is another 2 weeks away.
-
Ordered the wrong ones but didn't realise until after I cut the packaging open, so can't return them. $50 posted anywhere in Aus. Contact Brendon on 0402 seven zero two 102

Did some restoring over the weekend. While the parts are off I thought I may as well make them look factory new again. 200,000km old Like new and sealed in clear. Passenger side assembled with new wheel bearing Even did the bonnet latch too! Also whipped up a new oil drain to help it to not back up with having more oil supply to the high flow turbo.
-
No it was a second hand one but I think the issue with the motor has caused damage to the turbo. I'll be fitting an inline oil filter and have also made up a new turbo drain to help the oil flow after drilling out the banjo bolt.
