Hi all,

Last November my car had an "incident" with a fence,and while waiting for it to come back from the smash repairers i deceided to go all out on the motor.My focus is reliability and efficiency,aswell as some nice streetable power.Every week since then has been like xmas,as pressies arrive at my door.

The last parts have been ordered and will be arriving next week.List as follows:

CP pistons(9.0:1CR) 20thou over

Spool rods

Cometic 1.2mm MLS head gasket

Nissan gasket kit

Tomei valve springs

Tomei 256 Poncams

Tomei oil gallery restrictor

JUN crank collar

Custom head to sump oil drain

N1 oil pump

Greddy plenum

Greddy throttle adapter

Nismo 740c injectors

Nismo fuel pump

Nismo engine mounts

ARP head,main,rod and exhaust studs

ACL Race series main and rod bearings

Splitfire coils

GT3037 .82 turbo (has the slotted cover for that T51r sound)

GCG Stainless highmount manifold

Turbosmart 38mm Ultragate

All controlled by a Haltech E11v2.

The block and crank will be cleaned up and prepped (honed,linished,balanced,grub screwed ect)

Still trying to decide if im going to wrap or coat the manifold? Also im looking at buying a new crank collar.Is it worth getting one?

Please give me your thoughts and all suggestions welcome.

Ill be posting some pics as the build progresses.

Hey, ive got the gcg manifold, and although theyre thick walled stainless and look pretty good, its really easy to make a bracket from the manifold turbo flange to the head. Theres a hole in the head thats positioned perfectly. Its really simple but effective at supporting the significant mass of the turbo etc.

In the picture of the turbo, you can just see the black bracket behind the earls fitting on the engine side of the turbo. I just tapped some threads into the T4 manifold flange and used a 12mm bolt to secure the bracket to the head

Also, i got all my hot bits ceramic coated and, although expensive i think its worth the added thermal effeciency. I also wrapped my dump pipe and wastegate pipe. You can touch it when its running!

Any reason you didnt go with the 44mm wastegate?

I will be wrapping the dump pipe for sure.How much did you get charged for the coatings?

I bought the turbo gate and manifold in a package.The 38mm will be up to the task though.

Wow that looks nice.Is that two pipe joining into one at the wastegate?

Thats a very nice setup man, I look forward to seeing how it comes out. Its basically what I'd like mine to end up being like - capable of a LOT of very useable power.

Thanks.I will be tuning it for 22-24psi.I havent seen many 3037s make well into the 300s.So we will see how it goes.

hey dave good luck with everything!

Just a thought, a lot of guys building tough 26's use basically all goo except for the head gasket...food for thought

and a big congrats on the 740s, was very very easy to tune with on mine compared to the sards on the r34. I have the tomei/nismo pump too and all seems ok so think your fine for fuel for a while.

Z32 AFM is fine too, but you could always go haltech instead of powerfc, makes the plumbing a lot easier anyway i wish i had

maybe we trial fit my rips plenum while your motors out too. then i can finally decide wether to sell it or not

Bring the plenum around and we will have a look.

mine made 314rwkw at 19psi, 0.63 rear and Water meth injection.

With cams, 0.82 rear, and a fresh engine, and 22psi, you'll shit it in.

Also, my powercurve looked like a V8's.

I think the manifold was about $220 + $80 for the dump. I got these done at competition coatings in sydney, but i sent the turbine housing down to HPC in Melbourne because i heard that they were the best. This cost about $220.

The wastegate comes from the collector via two pipes and then into one.

Cheers.

    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.  
    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.  
    • Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?
    • Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.
    • Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
