Objective was to make it look as stealth/clean as possible. Will probably end up going a stock route Blitz cooler down the road to make it look standard as possible.

Who woulda known there's a GT3076R lurking under there :)

f**k yeah! post more vids of it being driven and such!!

ok ok :P

Not tuned yet, only running 10psi but safely rich (dips to 11s and sometimes high 10s) and no ping ping. Doing a bit of a shakedown and sorting out a few issues (car has been off the road for 18 months) before I chuck it on the dyno and wind the boost up :devil:

Ah. just thought I would throw some pics up.

Only just running in , done 500kms so far so gud!

done what I believe is the absolute MINIMUM for a reliable build. + I threw in some old engine building skills cause I have got alot of spare time.

Brand new 25 oil pump

crank collar

Blueprinted complete bottom end.

Removed all casting flashes in block, crank, rods,

Polished, streamlined crank and rods

Balanced complete rotating assembly

New cast pistons (standard pistons so 8.3:1 comp)

oil restrictors 1.5MM(both)

opened up oil returns

got a good set of rings on my 3rd box , NPC rings were too tight, Hastings rings were all consistently 10 though too large, found the happy medium with acl rings.

Nissan bearings

mls head gasket

arp head stud kit + rod bolts

std cams + mild port job to head.

Remove casting flashes, imperfections, port matched to both inlet and exhaust manifold.

CC combustion chambers

Internal vct mod

Helicoiled every single thread on the exhaust side.

6boost, , plazmaman, 3076R.82Rear ext gate and 3.5inch turbo back.

only at run in stages, big difference in torque between this and the standard 25 that I had in place.

can't wait to get it tuned!!!!

having had my pod where yours is before, you will notice an improvement in power if you get it away from there and into the corner where it can get non radiator/exhaust manifold heated air.

Ive gone from having the pod in the corner to having it smack bang on the turbo.

Maybe because its winter(/end) but I haven't really noticed any difference bar the throttle response.

didn't change my mph down the 1/4 and sounds/looks alot better.

having said that, I will probably do back to back on the dyno and post them up

    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
    • Ye, in terms of bolting up the "Conversion" from a GT to a GTT is effectively "Use GTT parts for everything" Except the subframe itself, because you won't want a HICAS/4WS subframe. Remember your ABS system will be different too, thanks to GT being the S15 3 sensor system, instead of the R34 4 sensor system for wheel speed. I do not know how people get this to work given R34 diffs do not have a provision for an ABS sensor (they are on the tone wheels of the axles). I assume***** people use S15 gear/R34NA forever when they realize this - Or they convert it to a rear diff/axles that are R33 style which I presume has the singular speed sensor on the diff itself, but then you have to wire it all in and...and... and...
