SCR48

Cars arrived at the 12 Volt Performance the wiring guru's. Should be there for about 5 days getting all the electrics sorted. Once its back it should be ready to turn over and start the tuning

Thought I'd post a refresher up of the coilpack setup Ive decided to run with this car. After speaking with serveral other mid to high RB powered guys we decided that your standard Splitfire'swhere probably going to run out of puff and start causing issues. LS1 Coils were an obvious and well tried option, however i wanted something that was a little different and would also git inside the valley cover to keep as neat a look to the engine bay as possible. Enter the LS2 Truck Coil Whilst these arent a direct fit/replacement they can me made to work. To make these fit under the vallet cover, I've shaved about 10-15mm off the bottom of the coil to help it sit lower onto the plug. Ive then used the spring out of a stock set of RB coilpacks and attached it inside the LS2 Coil. To help with mounting them onto the plug Ive used the coilpack boot from a set of 1JZ coilpacks (Red Silcone Boot). Ive tried to show the layout as best i can in the below photo. Last but not least, Ive had a customer mounting bracket made up to help keep them secure in place. Overall i think its turned out really well and everything is still easily accessible

I went TH400, Also built by Protrans. Bought it 2nd hand and yet to run it yet so time will tell on that one lol

#2rismo what sort of combo do you have for a drag setup? Ive just thrown stock shocks back in mine all round. Contemplating removing sway bars as well to improve weight transfer

Build progress is getting there. Lots of little things have been knocked over in the start of 2016 and the setup is almost ready for wiring. New Fuel Rail Revamp Fuel Setup. Braided line all the way through from surge tank to rail and then returned via the FPR that is now mounted under the car by the gearbox Tailshaft & Shifter installed New PWR trans cooler fitted and hooked up with new braided line All sensors installed ready for wiring up to the Emtron KV 8 ECU. Sensors include (Oil pressure, coolant pressure, trans fluid pressure, fuel pressure, 5bar map sensor, 2x knock sensors, 3x temp sensors (coolant, oi & tran fluid), air temp sensors post turbo & inlet & 6 x EGT's) Now photo dump....

Got my email renewal yesterday. Just wondering if there is a Drag Day 2016 locked in for this year?

Hey guys, can anyone point me in the right direction for drag racing shocks. compatible 90/10s etc. Ive currently got stock suspension in but looking at more serious options

new mechanical pump looks awesome Tony

Fab work finished. Stainless looks awesome

Locally built may be more expensive, however you get the joy of local support and customer service should something go wrong. Buy a box in the states and have trouble with it, its not like you can just take it back and try and sort the problem

Definitely taken a lot of coin thats for sure Ants, but will be worth it in the end. Cant wait to see the fab work complete and the bay put back together then it will look like real progress!

Thanks Dan! Its getting there, still a long way to go before its finished. All the fab work should be finished by weeks end and then a few more things to go on then off for some wiring

Fabrication work well and truly underway with custom made CRG Manifold along with dump pipe and plumbed gate. Note you can see where the gate will be mounted off the rear housing for better boost control. very very snug fit with the strut and the turbo

Few pics of the new turbo. Note the front housing isnt the final one. Just used to assist fabrication whilst the anti-surge cover is still being made.

Mint build dude. Good to see another 33 drag car getting built. Though yours is a bit more full on than mine. Ive gone built 25/30 with th400 & 80mm turbo

Then i got all the GTR front end conversion panels back from paint and fitted them up. Surprising how much more aggressive it now looks in the front end. There has also been a few parts changes too. The T51 is out, decided to go with something a bit newer and sold it in favour of an 80mm MTA turbo which will be similar is sizing etc as a GTX42r. ECU also has been purchased. THe new EMTRON KV8, this ECU is a serious piece of gear and cant wait to see it in action

Another update guys, Finally dropped the motor into the car, in on its mounts at least

carsales.com.au Only about 500 skylines in QLD for sale on there, must be something on there that suits what you're looking for

Also test fitted the hot and cold sides. 6 Boost manifold with a T51r, V-Band flange. Greddy RB26 Plenum with ITB's. Adaptor plates used to fit the 25 head

Im permanently firm over the past few days Agreed

The following date we decided its time to get the head on so it starts looking like a real motor again. Got a little picture happy at this stage Time to put the cams and covers on!!!!

Now for the interesting stuff!!!! Finally picked up the bottom end from the shop and got it home on a stand. Its amazing ho good an old block can look with some paint and new welsh plugs THen came time to start throwing some of the goodies onto this thing. Starting with the JUN oil pump and the Crank Trigger Kit Next up on the list was water pump and getting the sump on.

Next up we have the progress on the coilpack setup .I was gonig to originally go with a massive ugly looking external setup but in the end i really wanted something that could fit into the valley with the cover on and would give a lot more grunt than your standard Splitfires. Credit must be paid to Noel who is an Ex SAU QLD Pres and all round top bloke who gave me a great idea and allowed me to clone his coilpack setup. Combo is LS2 Truck Coil Springs from stock coils 2JZ silicone boots Bit of love shown to these and they sit ontop of plugs like splitfires and under the valley cover

3 months without an update. Well to say thats slack is putting it lightly.... The build was put on hold for a little while as i was moving from one second job to another and spare car funds were very low. All back up and going now trying to get this car finish... Not entirely sure where i should be starting on this update so here goes. We will start with Gearbox After much searching I ended up deciding to throw an Auto in the car for drag racing (not sure if this has been mentioned) Found a TH400 from VIC that seemed to fit the bill nicely and it came from a VL so already had the right housing etc and was 1000hp rated with a 5800 stall. No pics of box sorry. I also sourced a B&M Magnum shifter to go with it. Heres a photo of it test fitted with an R33 auto gear surround instead of the B&M case
