The bag is going to be mounted on the wall for teh lulz! Pics are coming paul lol. Got a fair bit on this weekend. Family barbies are great.............

Screw the pics, that means beers! :D

had a few hours free today so i rilled up me a 3 inch to 3.5 inch step and tigged it to the V-Band. Tried to go buy some tight radius 3.5 inch mandrels and was dissapointed >.<

Man this town needs some more performance orientated shops! Should have the dash fittings and line on wednesday, and stainless pipework to go to the cooler piping should be done by the end of the week :)

Ill throw some pickatures up later on of the mounting of the turbs on the GREDDY mani.

Got the power steer tank and surge tank today. Look the goods. Power steer is wrinkle black and installed already. Just waiting on pumps to arrive now and i can start the surge tank install. Should hopefully get a few front end boots this week then it can go back on the ground and go for startup :) Pics will follow tomorrow

Me: Walks into repco, up to the parts counter. "Hi, im chasing a bosch motorsport fuel pump, part number blah blah blah, also known as an 044"

Repco phag: I will go see if i have one.

Repco phag: I have this high pressure clacker pump, will it do?

Me: Facepalms. No son, it wont do, look the part number up and tell me what its worth on my trade account.

Repco phag: At trade it comes to 323.50 per pump plus a 15 dollar freight charge per item.

Me: Facepalm. Walks away.

They also sold me the wrong oil filter which kind of fitted....its o-ring was kind of bigger then std and didnt seat against the block so kind of blew out with some temp and pressure and kind of drained all the oil from the sump and knd of spun a big end....in hindsight I am gutted I didn't check the new for old side by side. Friggin Repco

They're Fkn useless those grubs. I tried to get a few 3 inch exhaust gaskets. Nup. 6 mm Vac line... Only turbosmart shit. 3 m for $35. grrr.

Got the front end boots done today. Front end is now complete and now its on to the Surge tank install. BIG thanks go out to Brendan at VULTURE for the mega cheap pumps and MEGA GREAT service ive had from him on a few items. Now all i need to do is break in to a speedflow retailer and start making the pumps work.

Next week i am hoping to get a few days off(i work in excess of 90hrs a week) so i can get a little more progress as my neibhours are starting to get agitated at my late night booze fuelled shenanigans. Hoping to have a run in tune by the end of the month or at least early december, ill shake the car down then im throwing 40+pound at it for a hero run or 3 :)

    • There are a few different ways of doing it. I'm currently running two 1000cc pre-TB nozzles and PWM the pump for control. I'll be moving over to a constant pressure system and direct port. I'll run the pump off a regular relay, have it cycle on roughly 5psi before I start injecting to build pressure and then PWM a WMI solenoid (It's basically an injector that can take a lot of pressure and not corrode with water and meth.) The solenoid feeds the 6 direct port ~200cc nozzles. I'll also keep one ~250cc pre-TB nozzle to help keep IAT's in check.  Safety will be a little different as well. I used to use a pressure switch but will be moving over to a pressure sensor between my solenoid and nozzles. I'll trigger my solenoid and if I don't see specific pressure within a specific timeframe (e.g 100psi within a second, 175psi within 2 seconds), I kill it and revert back to non WMI maps the same way I did it before with 4D in Haltech. I was just figuring out the timers in my ecu last night. They made that a little more complicated than I would have liked... I wish Haltech offered a larger set of logic/math functions like other ecu's do. I can't do very much with just AND's and OR's.  I've been asked to do fuel/ignition mapping on a medium bore engine at work in May (192L V16). Being the only programmer in my region and having went and opened my mouth about knowing the ins and outs of fuel/ignition mapping, I have now been deemed an expert. Fun fun. The entirety of the logic and algorithms are programmed in C on a PLC. As I spend more time figuring it all out, I like what I see and eventually I may consider doing the same as a pet project to replace my ecu.   
    • This would be interesting, would you feed it via a 2nd row of injectors? Or just usual WMI nozzles?
    • Cut sump up and extend. Win win 😂 
    • All, What's the recommended torque for the 1/2 head studs for RB30 twin cam conversion with RB26 head?  
    • also, we need to know which solution worked....
