Psi Parts Project Car Log

[PM-R33]

Looking awesome. I really like the positioning of the turbo with it at the front and slightly on an angle.

Along with checking the manifold flange for flatness, the t4 twin scroll gt35 atp housing I received had a lot of loose sitting slag deep inside the scrolls (out of sight). Worth thoroughly checking for the sake of the exhaust wheel.

Is Sabbadin Automotive is doing the mechinical work for you?

Yes, we had the car transported down to Melbourne into Robs trusty hands for the engine build and to oversee the whole project.

I'll make a note of checking that. The turbo is supplied from Full Race so I'm unsure if they are they same as ATP's?

I believe they are one and the same, your housing looks a little 'cleaner' than mine though.

More pieces coming in, it seems like it never ends...

The calculations we did for the new engine require an extra Bosch 044 and 1000cc injectors, so time to spend some time upgrading the whole system.

We have decided that the Tial MVS wastegates will not be water cooled (interested to hear peoples thoughts on this though), and that the run in tune will be 11psi with normal boost being set at 23psi. Interestingly the Tial MVS runs 3 springs to make the desired boost pressure, as compared to the usual one or two.

New fuel system. One 044 with the standard pump acting as a lift wasn't going to cut it. Now twin 044 and a dedicated low volume lift pump to reduce heat build-up in the fuel. E85 Ready too

We have hit a hurdle lately with the wiring that has stopped the dash/heater controls/windows/speedo to stop working. (If only i could fine a body harness wiring diagram!!! ) If anyone has had anything similar please by all means let me know, as the issue is causing the alternator to stop charging and thus the car is basically unusable. We have tried several auto-elecs to help out with the issue but nobody seems to be willing to take on the challenge. If anyone knows someone that can lend a hand, please pass on my details to them.

I should have looked at the turbo a little closer...

I have the 33 workshop manual mate (NOT just the engine man you get online) so let me know what particular diagram you are after and I'll scan it for you.

Made 355rwhp on 13psi for the run-in tune (New ECU, ditched the E11v2 and went with a Wolf V500). More to come soon

That manifold makes baby Jesus smile! This rig has come a long way

Finally got the car back in Sydney, the car has peformed very well and I'll try to go through all the stuff we have done over the last few weeks.

Needless to say, a severe lack of traction all the way to fourth gear, so some new sticky rubber will be the next thing on the list.

I bought it from the UK through a guy who made some in his spare time and sold them on eBay. Not sure if he is still doing them though.

We made some carbon fibre ones for a while, but they didn't sell very well.
