with that air box it in it going to hit the radiator because that will go to the top of the front bar piece???? cos i was thinking of doing the same but droping my radiator down two inches to clear?????

ben... im drawing up a v mount setup at the moment... dont want to make it until the engine is sitting in its rightful place.

im going to use an MY00 WRX crossflow radiator/thermos/header tank setup... might be something for you to check out..

the wrx radiator is a little bit shorter than the skyline one.. same width though, or close enough.

the early wrx doesnt have the cap on the radiator.. its a pure header tank setup..

btw... great to see the project is moving again.. mine has gone back to the drawing board.. starting all over again.

I'll be converting the Crownie boxes to Alloy soon, i'm at superlap/a wedding this weekend, so i won't get to look at it. The over the radiator intake seems to be vary popular on race cars. Only seem to be the Japs that persist with the pod filter in the guard.

If the new airbox goes to plan, i'll duct from the LH guard to the turbo to cool it.

Well we did some more wiring on the weekend. The car now cranks over, and the fans, ecu and horn work.

When I was at superlap I took lots of pics of the GIO airbox, my original design was very similar, but i'm copying the GMS one now, as it's pretty simple design.

damo is a auto electrition so that helps. it's a trimmed down standard loom, as the factory wiring is small and light. And all the extra bits and peices are single runs tied into the loom. The ABS will be wired with mil-spec, but there isn't enough colours to do all the car.

    • So recently at the track had experienced a loss of throttle after a period of WOT after installing the emtron ecu, recently did some logging to troubleshoot the issue and found the ECU was cutting due to a low oil pressure issue. Going over the log can see that while accelerating at 4k rpm will see 100 PSI of pressure and holding steady at that level until getting off the throttle which then after can see as low as 25 PSI at 3-4k rpm and will recover back to a normal level after that.   Wondering if anyone has an idea what could be the cause as it just feels abit strange and i dont feel like it could be a sensor issues just due to it clearly sitting at a good pressure until off throttle, in the attached can see a 3rd and 4th gear pull but can even perform great through 3 and 4 gears of WOT but still once off throttle and getting back on it will see pressure drop.
    • There are a few different ways of doing it. I'm currently running two 1000cc pre-TB nozzles and PWM the pump for control. I'll be moving over to a constant pressure system and direct port. I'll run the pump off a regular relay, have it cycle on roughly 5psi before I start injecting to build pressure and then PWM a WMI solenoid (It's basically an injector that can take a lot of pressure and not corrode with water and meth.) The solenoid feeds the 6 direct port ~200cc nozzles. I'll also keep one ~250cc pre-TB nozzle to help keep IAT's in check.  Safety will be a little different as well. I used to use a pressure switch but will be moving over to a pressure sensor between my solenoid and nozzles. I'll trigger my solenoid and if I don't see specific pressure within a specific timeframe (e.g 100psi within a second, 175psi within 2 seconds), I kill it and revert back to non WMI maps the same way I did it before with 4D in Haltech. I was just figuring out the timers in my ecu last night. They made that a little more complicated than I would have liked... I wish Haltech offered a larger set of logic/math functions like other ecu's do. I can't do very much with just AND's and OR's.  I've been asked to do fuel/ignition mapping on a medium bore engine at work in May (192L V16). Being the only programmer in my region and having went and opened my mouth about knowing the ins and outs of fuel/ignition mapping, I have now been deemed an expert. Fun fun. The entirety of the logic and algorithms are programmed in C on a PLC. As I spend more time figuring it all out, I like what I see and eventually I may consider doing the same as a pet project to replace my ecu.   
    • This would be interesting, would you feed it via a 2nd row of injectors? Or just usual WMI nozzles?
    • Cut sump up and extend. Win win 😂 
    • All, What's the recommended torque for the 1/2 head studs for RB30 twin cam conversion with RB26 head?
