Nice,What Turbos are you using this time?

The factory heat shields look good ceramic coated ,did you do yours?

HKS GT-RS....BTW the ceramic coating is done to keep the heat in the system (turbine side) and is not there to protect other items...thats the job of heat shields. The compressor side is done in ceramic chrome for asthetics as well as keeping the heat from transferring into that side of the system. Heat shields are used and are chromed.(again for bling!!!)

Cool,Only problem you'll face is wild comp serge with the GTR-S turbos.

Ive never sorted it so let us know how you go with yours.

No problem when you run WOT.....wide open throttle...lol

Jim's a great tuner though and tuned all shuffle out of the system with the 2530's. Ive really handed him a task with the RS's...lets see if he's up to it.

Looking good. Any diference between the black and silver ceramic coatings?

I think from memory the silver is a single coating rated to 700deg and the black is a double coating rated to 1100deg. The black works so well the turbine housing can be touched after racing without burning your fingers.

I thought when using GTRS turbos it was best to have the mainfolds with a cross flow pipe? Think that was what mark34gtr said about his GTRS setup.

Brad

Yes Brad, the balance pipe helps in street cars for drivability.....which is something i dont give a toss about. This setup is all about full noise low 10 to high 9 sec passes....nothing more.

You are seriously kidding me? It is THAT effective? Amazing!

And ask a stupid question, wtf does RH9 mean???

RH9 is an accreditation given to Japanese workshops that builds 9 sec GTR drag cars that run "street" tyres. Its like a club i suppose...a 9sec street GTR club. Contrary to popular belief the workshops are recognised not the car itself. There are 5 RH9 workshops in Aust....BSM, Godzilla Motorsport, Tillbrook's, Croydon's and Willall. DiRTgarage hope to become the 6th.....but more importantly.....to our knowledge no-one has done this using low-mounts.....we hope to be the 1st.

Hi,

Looks good :)

Was this done by "Competition Engineering" in Guildford?

Did they coat the inside of the exhaust manifolds? If so, are you/they worried about bits of ceramic coat going through the turbos?

Regards,

Saliya

Yes, Competition Coatings at Guildford.

Only the external surfaces look to have been treated.....but in saying that.....its quite common to get pistons coated.....so the product must be safe to use

Looks good Paul and Stace :)

did you get the fruit bowl done to match?? ;)

cant wait to hear how the two of you go once its all bolted up and tuned..

all the best :P

Thanks mate...

    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works! 
    • So, when are you trying the new GR86 or BRZ?
    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
