R34 Gtr Build

[GTRNUR]

Fantastic work!

I'm still a little bummed I didn't make my return trip home from the Nationals via Sydney, so I could stop by and have a look... though it did shave a few hundred km off the drive.

How far away is the engine build? Have you decided on all the details for it yet?

Thanks Ian.

It s ok maybe nextime you are in sydney John would be more then happy to show you the fab work and what his aiming to build.

The build has been slow, just getting the head ready for assembly as the bottom end is completed. ( Still trying to get pics for this )

All the other aspects of the car are ready and up to date, just need to drop the motor im and start finishing this build.

that is amazing, i hope all the extra effort amounts to some amazing results too!

Loving it! Love the pictures, love everything about this build!

It's almost like the next pics you post couldn't possibly be better than what you've already posted...

But No.... They just get more awesome!

Have you weighted the manifold/turbo/gate assembly? Noted John thought it wouldn't need any brace/supporting. Just wondering what the actual weight is

The weight of the manifold with just the wastegates bolted on is about 7kg.

Spoke to John about the brace, he will be adding a brace or bracing system to the manifold however at this point of time he has not stated where. Once he does i will update you.

Some more different angle pic sof the manifold.

It is now pulld appart to finish off the final needed welds.

Low mount manifold? Or does the comp cover face in towards the rocker cover?

This pic will answer your question

Cool thanks is it for clearance reasons. My 1jz manifold does the opposite (faces the comp cover away)

The turbo was rotated towards the rocker cover to achieve the best exit of the turbo that was not a 90 degree bend like everyone else has, john has said 90 degree bend can cause upto 15% loss in efficiency of the turbo.

[zebra]

Ah yes. I have about 4" between turbo outlet and the shock tower so a tight 90deg bend is all the will fit

1jz and 2jz suffer this alot and its hard to bet away from not using that 90 degree bend

Yeah there are some set backs to having a better engine lol

The red lines drawn on the inlet are approximate anti-surge slot locations to be milled out?

Sweet

I remember earlier in the thread it was stated it wasn't needed, perhaps that was only in early stages. 7kg + turbo would be quite a hefty end result.

Be interesting to see where it's braced and what not - look forward to that update

fyp

heat + stainless steel = bending.

good welds will not stop it.

keep us updated.

The red lines are for the installation of a plunger infront of the turbo.

John does not like anti surge slots as this also reduces the efficiency of the turbo.

[r33_racer]

Well I had a go at guessing lol.

This will be interesting to see! Just like every other bit of this build!
