well new belt and cam gears fitted up, did G1 round 3 - good result qualifying in top 16 - drew christian pickering first round, he beat me 6-4, 6-4 on the two runs...

with only doing 2 rounds of the 3 round series, i ended up 16th for South Australia G1 Championships. ;)

The car is now gonna get pulled down again and freshened up... should look HOT!!!!

Also going to upgrade the turbo again (power hungry lol) so the hks gt2540 is now for sale - its been running on 1.2 bar at the moment (around 220rwkw). click link for details :thumbsup:

More updates later, as things start to happen

I've got some other bits for sale, and will update bits for sale as i find them. As i'm gonna do a shed clearout of all my bits and pieces.

Here's a pic from G1

well with help from my fellow FULL TUNE members, and SIMON from MORPOWA - i've been slowly getting this thing done.

there's 2 major mods going on at the moment, exterior and power.

only going to go into detail about the power side of it for now and unveil pics once car is all finished.

POWER

well the hks2540 is long gone, and 1400r sourced me a dmax manifold from japan which is now on the car. I also got myself a Garrett GT3076r IW with the .6 front and 56trim wheel with .63 exhaust housing from SIMON at MORPOWA he also modified the wastegate to have a larger port and also larger flap. Coming off the back of this is an awesome screamer dump / front pipe with flex join from AM PERFORMANCE here in Adelaide. I modified my intake pipe which i had on the previous setup to suit this turbo, its not perfect but it will be more than sufficient for the job.

still have to fit the nismo adjustable fuel pressure reg that i've got, but that is a simple bolt on item.

I am nearly at the point of starting the engine and hearing this thing run again, but i'm still waiting on the return of my I/C pipe modded, hose for oil drain - then all sorted.

260+ is the goal for this setup by what boost... now that is the question...but i will find out soon enough.

EXTERIOR

i have a 'few' more new things which will make the car stand out and make it more individual over other ceffy's, including other pieces from other cars which have been modified to suit... more on that when its all finished though!

i will put up a pic of how the car looks at the moment though.

cheers

-Matt

Edited by huddy

well paint colour should be revealed soon :thumbsup:

ultimately i would like 280+rwkw, but i do have gtr injectors with fuel reg, so unsure if i have enough fuel from this and also walbro intank pump.

also skeptical on the whole setup as its on a rb20 based engine.

should find out in the next month or so :D

well... it runs!!

slight problem, need to modify the awesome front/dump as it is a little low :P

but other than that, it was good to start the engine in about 2months (or more)!!!

hopefully i'll get a tune next week, just have to get the dump/front modified again first.

got the GT3076r fitted up (with the wastegate ported out and larger flap fitted)

DMAX stainless manifold fitted (welded on extra gusset) (+ nissan ex mani gasket)

AM Performance Stainless screamer front/dump *TUFF AS*

new braided oil feed line and water lines, re-sleeved with heat sleeving

ally intake pipe was modified to suit with 4"-3" reducer

also fitted a nismo adjustable FPR

enjoy the pics.

    • You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.
    • Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?
    • yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.
    • Unless my sensor just died, was only a couple months old, I strongly believe it didn't. How can I test it? I never mentioned it being 20:1+?
    • Well, you wouldn't use 2nd hand bearings out of another engine anyway....so just buying the proper bearings is obviously what you're going to do. The crankshaft would be common. The conrods might be common. There is essentially nothing else you would be able to use.
