This build has not finished, alot more to come and i will try to update it on here and facebook.

currently waiting on motec for a revised Gpr package to run the Hi lo injection properly and also need some other setups to be completed.

Once i have the car running on M150 we can then start a new chapter on tuning and i know this will piss off alot of tuners out there lol.

Anyhow keep reading and learning as there is much more to come.

Yeah, I would love to see a dyno sheet and a boost curve for this.

It's an awesome build with some seriously cool hand made manifold and wastegate piping, I too am a little surprised to see a T70/T72 turbo mixed with the work of art parts around it, it's sorta like two steps forward and one step back when there are some much better technology turbos out there now.

......but I would love to be proven wrong :)

:/ wonder what ever happened to this build....

was super keen to see results but Im assuming its all fell short?? there aren't many high HP RB26 builds that seem to be able to successfully run a MoTec.

An ecu is only as good as the calibrator in most cases unless its 20year old technology.

Hear someone went to the big house for modifying things that go boom, boom... that might slow down progress perhaps?

Explain

If you are referring to Bobby you must be wrong as he is still quite active on Facebook. In fact he was actually taking the car out today

Meh....the reality is that the car must have fallen short of expectations

Really not sure how a full tune can drag out for 2 years... so claims that the build was f1 spec, just musn't show on the dyno graphs

there, i said it.

/thread.

You guys are all funny , you need to follow me on FB i dont get on here as much anymore!!!!

Been busy with large projects and i have managed to get the car sorted for its final tune, Chris from motec will be doing the final config as he has been away in USA.

So once the config is correct and the car responds, it will hit the dyno straight after that.

BTW the car drives perfect and the VENTURI works !!!!!

    • Hi All, I'm based in Sydney and want to get hold of 4 stock R34 GTT wheel caps as pictured. Cheers
    • Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..
    • Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.
    • Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all. 
    • Ah yep. I asked a auto electrician about getting a cheap rebuilt alternator vs a new one. He also said he used to it back in the day but it ended up costing similar to what a new one would and recommended getting a new one,.
