Nice...

Love that look...

Im guessing that turbo is not your $890 one arron... :D

I did get one of them high flow turbos off Aaron and then I found out I had a crack exhaust manifold from the November 30 track day and so I get this dumb idea to go a high mount turbo and because I did that, this would not fit because I change this and this what not fit any more because I change that and so on.

now its a T04z

you will have to ask Aaron on the turbo i got no idea it has changed a few times and Ive lost track whats in it. The cost of the turbo you will have to ask Aaron as well but I got the manifold off here and it was like 350 bucks or get one of ebay for the same price

atm it has not been tuned for power only to run till I fixed a few things up for the next tune which is tomorrow and at the moment its coming on full boost at 4000RPM thats with the boost controller turned off all together.

No internal work as yet (bolt ons cost to much as it is) I will get a set of cams and soon as I get the new clutch installed first

Nice...

Haha nah mate

Its quite a bit larger than the Highflows :laugh:

The comp side has been modified to fit a larger 60 trim wheel instead of the 57 trim wheel that was in there.

A/R is now about .73 comp side and .84 A/R turbine housing

Well I got the car back from Matty's (JUST barley) I was driving back to work from Matty's and I gave it a bit for the first time and guess what happened.

What you say!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It BLOODY THING CAUGHT FIRE god damn it

Luckily I had bought a fire extinguisher a few weeks back and put it in the car.

on another bad note I only made 330rwhp because the std clutch could not handel it

Na no wire damage I got them moved for that reason. Mine run through the guard channel. Its because of the uni filter on top of the cam covers, it piss oil out through there and on to the turbo and manifold as such caught fire. I have to change the T piece to a 90 degree fitting on the cam cover and put the uni filter somewhere else, maybe on the catcher can

what caught on fire???

goddamn you are lucky you had an extuingisher..... note to self; get one!

Yeah I'm glad i bought one and yes very good idea go get one.

I'm going to buy 2 more today and mount them in the car somewhere

The only bad thing is they make a massive mess through the whole engine bay :) I guess thats better then a burnt out car

hell yeah - considering the insurance company *may* have been able to worm out of it all by suggesting it was the 'illegal?' modifications which caused the fire.

best of luck with it

Man what a bummer, did you tread on the cracks as a kid lol, a new clutch what are you looking for the replacement?

More like killed a kid the way his luck is going.

You'll get there one day man hey. She'll be right.

    • I think the concept is highlighting the various scenarios where thicker oil helps, and thicker oil potentially doesn't help and only generates heat and costs power, in turn for safety which isn't actually any safer (unless you're going real hot). If anything this does highlight why throwing Castrol 10w-60 for your track days is always a solid, safe bet. 
    • Jason should have shown a real viscosity vs temp chart. All the grades have very little viscosity difference at full operating temperature.
    • Oops... I meant to include the connector  view... BR/W - power from fuse L/W - motor negative to fan control amp (and off to HVAC pin19) OR/B - PWM signal (from HVAC pin20) B --  ground  
    • Yep, if you are applying filler it sounds like there is something wrong with the body lol. Safe to assume there is going to be a lot of sanding going on if your still applying fillers.  Picture a perfect bare metal panel, smooth as glass. You lay down your primer, it's perfect. (why are you going to sand it?) You lay down the colour and clear, it's perfect. No sanding at all took place and you've got a perfectly finished panel.  You won't be chasing your tail, sounds like you were prepping to start laying filler. If your happy with the body after the sanding, there is some bare metal exposed and some areas with primer, no issues at all, start laying the filler. You are safe to lay filler on bare metal or primer (of course check your technical data sheet as usual for what your filler is happy to adhere to).  This isn't a 100% correct statement. There is primer that is happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. There are fillers that are happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. Just make sure you're using the right materials for the job.  Typically if you are using filler, you would go primer, colour and clear. I've never seen any instances before where someone has laid colour over body filler (maybe this happens, but I haven't seen it before). So your plan sounds pretty normal to me. 
    • I don't think there's any way someone is push starting this car.. I honestly can barely move it, and moving it and steering it is just flat out not possible. I'm sure it is, but needs a bigger man than me. I have a refurbished starter now. The starter man was quite clear and consise showing me how nothing inside a starter really should contribute to slow cranking, and turned out that for the most part... my starter was entirely fine. Still, some of the wear items were replaced and luckily it didn't show any signs of getting too hot, being unfit for use, etc. Which is 'good'. I also noticed the starter definitely sounded different, which is a bit odd considering nothing should have really changed there.... Removed and refit, and we'll pretend one of the manifold bolts didn't fully tighten up and is only "pretty" tight. GM only wants 18ft/lb anyway. I also found a way to properly get my analog wideband reading very slightly leaner than the serial wideband. There's Greg related reasons for this. The serial output is the absolute source of truth, but it is a total asshole to actually stay connected and needs a laptop. The analog input does not, and works with standalone datalogging. Previously the analog input read slightly richer, but if I am aiming at 12.7 I do not want one of the widebands to be saying 12.7 when the source of truth is 13.0. Now the source of truth will be 12.65 and the Analog Wideband will read 12.7. So when I tune to 12.7 it'll be ever so slightly safer. While messing with all of this and idling extensively I can confirm my car seems to restart better while hot now. I did add an old Skyline battery cable between the head and the body though, though now I really realise I should have chosen the frame. Maybe that's a future job. The internet would have you believe that this is caused by bad grounds. In finding out where my grounds actually were I found out the engine bay battery post actually goes to the engine, as well as a seperate one (from the post) to the body of the car. So now there's a third one making the Grounding Triangle which is now a thing. I also from extensive idling have this graph. Temperature (°C) Voltage (V) 85 1.59 80 1.74 75 1.94 70 2.1 65 2.33 60 2.56 55 2.78 50 2.98 45 3.23 40 3.51 35 3.75 30 4.00   Plotted it looks like this. Which is actually... pretty linear? I have not actually put the formula into HPTuners. I will have to re-engage brain and/or re-engage the people who wanted more data to magically do it for me. Tune should be good for the 30th!
