Yep entry is already in.

How easy does it stretch? ie does it go on and off easy, so you can work on the car?

When new, I just heated it up in hot water, was a bit tight but got them on in the end. Now, there is no issues with removing or putting them back on.

I got the hose and installed it today. Works very well, thanks for the heads up woolls. You coming up for the final round of the TSS?

No worries Ben,

I will be coming up, but only watching the final round, I have totaly stripped my bus to do a few things to it.

The car is back on the road again. It's been out for a few runs. Follewed the Nissan manual and ran the car at 4000rpm for 10mins to bleed the lifters... and it worked. while I was doing it, I was waiting for the valvetriain to come flying out the bonnet.

New engine feels good, heading the the tuners during the week for a tune.

if someone can work it out ill give them a prize.

a few hints.

old vs new graph. both e85 same turbo. same inlet.

less boost than last time.

that old graph is the engine that did a bearing before targa. the engine we did targa with had around 230 on the down hill sections.

And top marks to ben. hes built this engine all by him self. ive had other commitments so ive only been able to help here and there.

    • Not alot of room in the front or mid pipe to play with Helmholtz chambers, plus they are pretty hit and miss getting the length and volume right, and time is money when it comes to trial and error testing at a exhaust shop, it isn't like test fitting mufflers or resonators From previous experience with exhausts and trying to tone down the volume and eliminate some drone, a resonator in the mid pipe typically make it much better,  and even possibly stop Jackie complaining about it, me, I really don't notice it that much, but, I am pretty deaf 🤣
    • I know it's an entirely different engine, but I noticed practically 0 difference removing or adding 2x 3in (5inch body) 400cell cats (one in each bank) with regards to sound. So changing the cat to change drone I suspect will have very very, very, very, very, very very minimal impact.
    • 200 cell cat will probably help. Do you have room to tee off a Helmholtz resonator anywhere along the exhaust? These can do wonders for drones, with a little experimentation with regards to length.
    • The car revs up through the gears much better/faster now, and fuel consumption doesn't really seem to have be affected either on a Hwy cruise, which wasn't expected  The FAB9 intake manifold has been problematic sourcing though, I've contacted Plasmaman to ask about their intake, which you can get different runner lengths spec'd, and, their different options for throttle bodies  The only real physical drawback with the Plasmaman intake is how to connect it to my current OEM style airbox, as FAB9 make a OEM style back half of the airbox to suit the larger diameter throttle body, and all that is required is a 30°bend silicone pipe to mate the throttle body to the airbox Car also goes in for some exhaust work in a week or so to fit the biggest resonator they can fit clearance wise in the front pipe to help remove some of the drone, there isn't alot of realestate under there, a rough guesstimation is it will only be about 3-400mm long and maybe 90-100mm diameter, and with a 60mm exhaust that doesn't leave alot of space for the internal volume of the resonator to do its thing I'm thinking I may need to bin the "high flow" 100 cell cat for something a bit more substantial, yeah, and restrictive, like a 200-400 cell, to help, but, I have ample room for a really large bodied cat to replace the current one which has around a 4" diameter body I may look around in the recycling bins and see if I can find a massive newish cat that was "replaced" with some new full exhaust system that the local exhaust shop in Western Sydney is doing
