Congrats mate!

Amazing results

Get a vid for us to see how it comes on

Vids coming tomorrow... The full power runs etc were held up as the fuel pressure was dropping so they are doing a few things then running it up tomorrow.... I'm pretty pumped, the few people that have heard it said it sounds awesome!!!

Fuel pump out of flow? It would have to be close to the limit?

Yeah it wouldn't have much left in it.... But they said there is a restriction too, they are going to mod a few things and see if it improves.... Then just tune it so it's safe....

It must be an awesome feeling to finally have it going after 2 years of slowly getting everything done!

360rwkw is a shite tonne of power for a stock bottom end rb25det!

What size is your exhaust 3.5 or 4"? I couldn't see it in the build thread...

Thanks Lithium.... Real happy!! :yes:

Mitcho, the exhaust was a surprise, I figured it would hold the power back a fair bit so I unplumbed the gate etc, but it's only a 3" from memory.... The whole time I was worried but it didn't matter, apparently it may be the cause of the boost falling off and a bit of lag BUT it's a 90db exhaust so I can't complain!! :)

360rwkw thats a f**kload of power man, congrats..! I cannot see your sig from my iphone, is the engine completely stock or just the bottom end?

Completely stock with just Tomei Poncams.... It's all just bolt ons, awesome ecu and tuner and E85 working its magic... Stock headgasket, bottom end etc.... See how long it holds up....

Just read your sig, I've got 20bux on the clutch going first ;)

So have you taken it for a good drive yet? After this long it would feel like a new car, a very quick new car lol

I'm actually surprised it held up on the runs... Shouldn't jinx it as its got more work in the morning.... Tunes not complete, so no I havent driven it...

It basically is a new car, suspension, diff and power setup is all different.... And an extra 110rwkw for good measure!! :D

that's one clean looking engine bay, I like the kinda stock-ish look

It was my goal to make a high mount as stock looking as possible... It was only possible with the help from Alex @ Plazmaman and Craved Coatings, oh and Bronx for the airbox... It's everything I wanted... What the best thing is, I retained the quiet 3 inch exhaust which is legal DB so in 5 mins I can plumb back the gate and be legal.... ;)

Are you expecting any more top end from the final runs or is it just tidying everything up?

The boost was dropping off, so with the turbo and exhaust at their limit I'll be more than happy if it reaches that number again safely... The clutch would also be struggling I reckon...

Basically the runs will be to make sure the fuel pressure is safe as it was a concern I think... So glad it's with JEM tho, I know it's in good hands :D

The 3037 should be maxed at that power I think!

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
