Then i got all the GTR front end conversion panels back from paint and fitted them up. Surprising how much more aggressive it now looks in the front end.

There has also been a few parts changes too. The T51 is out, decided to go with something a bit newer and sold it in favour of an 80mm MTA turbo which will be similar is sizing etc as a GTX42r.

ECU also has been purchased. THe new EMTRON KV8, this ECU is a serious piece of gear and cant wait to see it in action

Fabrication work well and truly underway with custom made CRG Manifold along with dump pipe and plumbed gate.

Note you can see where the gate will be mounted off the rear housing for better boost control.

very very snug fit with the strut and the turbo :P

absolute best build i've read so far. keep it up mate, you're an inspitation to others!

Thanks Dan!

Its getting there, still a long way to go before its finished. All the fab work should be finished by weeks end and then a few more things to go on then off for some wiring

looks awesome Scotty

So much hard work and coin poured into this

Once it's all done......well I think you already know you will need an extra pair of undies

Keep up the hard and good work Scotty

Definitely taken a lot of coin thats for sure Ants, but will be worth it in the end. Cant wait to see the fab work complete and the bay put back together then it will look like real progress!

Build progress is getting there. Lots of little things have been knocked over in the start of 2016 and the setup is almost ready for wiring.

  • New Fuel Rail
  • Revamp Fuel Setup. Braided line all the way through from surge tank to rail and then returned via the FPR that is now mounted under the car by the gearbox
  • Tailshaft & Shifter installed
  • New PWR trans cooler fitted and hooked up with new braided line
  • All sensors installed ready for wiring up to the Emtron KV 8 ECU. Sensors include (Oil pressure, coolant pressure, trans fluid pressure, fuel pressure, 5bar map sensor, 2x knock sensors, 3x temp sensors (coolant, oi & tran fluid), air temp sensors post turbo & inlet & 6 x EGT's)

Now photo dump....

Thought I'd post a refresher up of the coilpack setup Ive decided to run with this car.

After speaking with serveral other mid to high RB powered guys we decided that your standard Splitfire'swhere probably going to run out of puff and start causing issues. LS1 Coils were an obvious and well tried option, however i wanted something that was a little different and would also git inside the valley cover to keep as neat a look to the engine bay as possible.

Enter the LS2 Truck Coil

Whilst these arent a direct fit/replacement they can me made to work. To make these fit under the vallet cover, I've shaved about 10-15mm off the bottom of the coil to help it sit lower onto the plug. Ive then used the spring out of a stock set of RB coilpacks and attached it inside the LS2 Coil. To help with mounting them onto the plug Ive used the coilpack boot from a set of 1JZ coilpacks (Red Silcone Boot). Ive tried to show the layout as best i can in the below photo.

Last but not least, Ive had a customer mounting bracket made up to help keep them secure in place. Overall i think its turned out really well and everything is still easily accessible

    • Had a chat to Tony Mamo - he advised that looking at the graph's shape (regardless of number translation) it shouldn't be levelling off like that up top. He said it looks like the car is running a restrictor plate or something of that nature. Luckily the last dyno pull on E85 was saved to the PC - So I did a quick trace of Barometric KPA vs Intake manifold pressure, and lo and behold I see a copy of the 'waves' I was seeing on the dyno: I'm not entirely sure how to go about addressing this. It may be worth sacrificing IAT to run a more direct intake for the motor. Though packaging this could be flat out impossible given the constraints of the car. I should have removed the intake pipe to see if this made a difference but looking at this graph I now have something to potentially test in the future and think about. This one is from an old track day log in the OLD setup going through gears on track.
    • Oh, I forgot too, all the multimedia stuff captured and sold through things like people playing Pokemon Go. Pokemon Go specifically, can actually be traced all the way back to a CIA investment company too. So yep, they're watching everything. Not to mention the new stuff where they've worked out how to use WiFi signals to be able to map occupants inside of a building. That one would be something that I see being more used in public/government buildings, as you need to understand the signals when the room has no one in it first. It's not as easy as Hollywood would like you to think it is.
    • Followed ☺️ Assuming those are NEO rods, then at least 400kW all day.
    • Lets keep this going , Spotted this very stock V35 in Penrith and also saw a nice R32 FLY past me on Castlereagh rd , sounded really good.
    • Great work! Give it a clean up with some Emery paper, and I'd run a thread die over the threads too to clean them up. It will make reinstall much easier, and also life easier for the next time it needs to come out.
