Good stuff, who is doing the engine work?

I installed my Jim Berry clutch this morning,which one did you get?

[-_-StRyDeR-_-]

Full monty clutch, hope it handles...

all the work is either getting done by myself or a good friend who works for ricky stephans (some people would know that name in the drag racing scene)

top guys to deal with though, and close to my work, so we can transport gear to them easily. got to love trade discount lol.

WELL.... After a few years, career change, city move, and a give up all together on this motor, it is finally running!!!

its been that long that i hardly remember all the parts used!

ill try and upload some photos but currently without a good tune its just pushed out 424.6HP on 13psi. im now running it in and will go back in 2-3 weeks for a proper tune at 13psi then a 20 and a 25... getting talked into a E85 tune also haha.

PLEASE ask me any questions you can think of and il try and get the spec's/answers.

Car has been sittin for that long that the front coilovers have seized and the rears have leaked and bounce away...

Just ordered a new set of coilovers, slotted rotors and new brake pads.

kind of surprised that after all this time the tyres havnt got flat spots or the car hasnt fallen apart with rust...lol

Looks unreal! Congratulations

What turbo is that? Did you take the 42R?

[-_-StRyDeR-_-]

forgot to mention the fuel side of things...

Twin feed rail

880cc injectors

040 Lift pump

2.5L Surge Tank

2x 044 pumps mounted to the surge tank.

[-_-StRyDeR-_-]

Wanted to go the 42R but i thought it would be to laggy, got a 35R on it now, but it builds boost from 2500rpm and full song so early...

ill see how it feels after the run in and tune and ill decide if i want to throw a 42 on it.

[boostn0199]

That looks so good.

[-_-StRyDeR-_-]

Had the car back for 3 days and already put on new fully adjustable Coilovers, slotted rotors front and rear and new pads.

love having the car back to tinker away....

Is that the Mercury Motorsport dyno? Pretty sure I saw this car down there last week.

[-_-StRyDeR-_-]

yeh it was down there, looking pretty sad on the outside hey!? cant wait to get rid of those damn doors haha

[tricstar]

congats, taken you a while but looks like it will be the goods....

where did you get that turbo shroud ??

[-_-StRyDeR-_-]

It's a 6boost one, ill try and get some better pics of it if you like.

Looking forward to getting it out of the run in tune tho, quite heavy on the fuel at the moment to be on the safe side.

[GODZILLA-GTR]

nice engine bay

[Lucy The Skyline]

yeh it was down there, looking pretty sad on the outside hey!? cant wait to get rid of those damn doors haha

Yeah...going to have to agree with the doors. Rims could do with a change too, engine is a keeper though.

Then again, I need a new engine and would be more than happy to take it off your hands lol

[-_-StRyDeR-_-]

yeh, well picked up the car as a 5sp manual rb20det for $2200, then $2000 for bodykit/paint/tint, and the wheels were a straight swap for my standard gtst rims.

so ive spent the money on the motor and now everything can be worked up to go with it

been a budget car untill it come to the motor.

[Lucy The Skyline]

Sleeper as hell man. Also a owner of a R32 Gtst, just had the engine kill itself so a 25 with a plazman plenum and some other goodies will be calling the engine bay home soonish care of Trent and the rest of the Mercury guys.

Nothing but good cars rolling out of there, my mates S13 (PRN 13) is down there atm receiving a new engine and fuel system.
