Piglet's Rebuild Of His Busted Tomei 2.8

[Piggaz]

it will help if you clearance a little of the tinwork around the reverse lockout fitting on the LHS of the box as it gets very close to the body. Alternatively, just leave it out and get rid of the whole reverse lockout mechanism. Just need to plug up the whole with the right bolt/fitting

I'm heading out there today. I'll see how they're going.

Found this on the LS1 forum:

Set your base pressure at 43, boost to 30. Flow at the pump will be abouyt 125Gph = 473lt/h = 7.8lt/min.

That's a decent graph Ian, cheers!!!

[Piggaz]

There is the culprit. The tooth fairy was good, bought me a OS88 instead of a few bucks. Winner!

R3C

Old and new. Evidence of an exhaust leak on the 5 speed.

Modified transfer case.

[Hadouken]

This is going to be good

Rc3 the gearbag killer

[Piggaz]

Really had no other option. I'd rather get everything to bolt right in than dick around making shit fit.

[Hadouken]

It'll be sweet. That gearbox can take it

WOOOOO!

Not long now son!

Both Nitto 1 and its OS88, and one other R34 that ran a Hollinger up here in Cairns used a custom spec NPC twin plate, setup to handle over 1100hp. Basically what I have in my car, with a different type of spring hub centre. So when you get tired of it, you know where to go. Price was reasonable too.$2920.

I'll report back early next week what it's like to drive. What I did forget was how nice the coppermix is/was to drive. It felt nicer than my nugget daily clutch.

[Marko R1]

It will take some time and practice to learn how to drive that box which is part of an amazing challenge, BEAST!

[NXTIME]

My DCS twin plate is suprisingly quite good to drive.

[Piggaz]

Clutch is on

Transfer and box are married up.

Day of nothing yesterday. A sub station up the road went up in smoke and the whale was up on the hoist higher than the gearbox jack could reach. Lol.

Took back my old transfer case to Award as it was on exchange basis. Awesome guys at Award, Trish and Terry. Highly recommended!!

That was that.

Looking at fuel pumps, I found this bad boy.

720L/hour at 3 bar and 560 ish at 75 psi. I'm sick of dicking around with 044's that just don't last. It will also cover me for any future turbo changes/upgrades... *cough* . It's E85 friendly also.

Pump looks the works, know anyone that have used them ?

Glad to see you are looking ahead, if you decided to change your turbo, what do you have in mind. I thought your car was pretty well balanced as it is but maybe a new age Turbo could make it even better

[Piggaz]

Ah Pete. You'll just have to wait and see
