gosh darn yea!

[FlashOne]

love GTR's man this thing is baller. nice rocker cover ahaha =) *thumbs up*

Update time!

My baby has been running sweet and smooth for the past few months (touch wood) but I am now ready to get rid of the twins and smash on a big single

Here are some parts ive just recently got my hands on:

Apexi EL gauges

6boob manifold (Had to get it sterilized before i could touch it )

50mm wastegate provision

tial 44mm wastegate with all spring combinations from 0.3bar to 1.5bar (currently has 1 bar spring combination in it - hopefully the gate flows enough for my setup and doesn't creep past 18psi! fringers crossed)

tomei type b poncams

Garrett GT35r

V-band 0.82 rear housing

Plan is to remove the twin turbo setup on monday and trial fit the turbo setup on Monday arvo!

I have booked myself in for Clintons expertise welding services for tuesday so hopefully on wednesday i get to drive her home.

Once I'm happy with everything, I will install the poncams a few days before the tune date (21st of this month) and rocker covers will get a slight make over too

More pics on Monday night..

Thanks for reading!

mmmm. nice bits oz

[snozzle]

they are quite simple yet sexy arent they

[UWISSH!]

im keen to see the results of the turbo in the response area as im considering ditching my t88 for a smaller single

[Weapon]

35 is a good size for sure, I never ran mine with cams but mine was on full song by 3800rpm

Keen to see the end result with all the bits and pieces on there

[jonesl]

Fark me this is a good build =)

bad luck with the yellow sticker, cops must have been pretty switched on.

[snozzle]

Thanks for the comments guys.

Yeah what can you do.. I really dont care about yellows anymore, I just focus on enjoying the car.

I budget one yellow sticker per annum even though, quite surprisingly, its the first yellow sticker that the car has ever had!

If I do get a yellow sticker with the single turbo setup I will apply for mod permits and get it emissions tested.

[mattlikewhoa]

I like where this is heading

OK so today i got into it, both turbos have been removed, first one took a few hours but i had the last one off within an hour since there was so much room to play with - may god help the mechanics who have to change these turbos over with the engine in the car..... LOL im sure its much harder to re-fit them as opposed to removing them.

Here are some pictures of the mani and turbo test fitted!

I am very happy with the design of the manifold.. the comp housing clears the rocker cover by 10mm and the power steering bracket by like 3-4mm !!

Clinton gets started on the welding and fabrication side of things tomorrow

that looks so good oz, the 6boost manifolds are a nice piece. i really want one but cant justify putting the money into an rb20 project. ive found a white 33 gtr that i like just a matter if the numbers are right.

what do you need to fabricate? also what is reading the air volume if you have eliminated the mafs?

[snozzle]

Thanks man, i eliminated the AFMs a while ago actually, im running an aftermarket ecu, Power FC DJ, which runs two MAP sensors on the intake side. Basically similar to how the falcons are but they only have 1 i think?

I need a dump pipe and an inter-cooler pipe fabricated, i also need to get the external gate flange welded onto the manifold and then a screamer pipe made up .

[Weapon]

That looks tops mate, thats the difference with yours compared to the ETM manifold I had. I had to make a custom power steering canister as the comp housing fouled on the bracket

Looking good mate, should pull easy 320kw + on 16-18psi

[ahh 33 s2]

Snoz where did u get that power steering reservoir?

[Weapon]

That's factory GTR, atleast on 33's. Mine was exactly the same

[ahh 33 s2]

Oh that's very handy, gtst is well and truly in the way, wish I had known that.

[snozzle]

Yeah I was suprised i didnt have to mod the reservoir but it seems i am going to have to relocate it anyway since i have changed my mind on how the compressor housing is going to be orientated.

Heres a pic of how its going to sit now and also the intake pipe:

Ive orientated the comp cover this way for a few reasons;

First being that its away from the manifold and having it further away increases the life of the silicone hoses connecting to it,

Secondly, its also easier and more straight forward to make a pipe from there down to below the air filter.

And last reason is.. i actually like the look of it like that haha, looks very mid-90s jap which is the look i quite dig.

Dump pipe is 95% finnished and i think Clinton has done a superb job on it, i am very happy with his work thus far

Tomorrow the screamer pipe and intake pipe will be made and the 90 degree aluminium elbow will be welded onto the comp cover!

I am hoping i can take it for a spin on thursday

Oh and after i took my front bumper off, i found a nasty crack in my cross over pipe, behind my intercooler, which flows the air back to the intake side from the blow off valves so im thinking ive been losing power from there ever since ive owned the car, its still managed to pull good numbers though? Not running the bovs anymore so no bovs no problem
