Piglet's Rebuild Of His Busted Tomei 2.8

[Piggaz]

Exhaust is complete!

Fuel filters. After what happened last year, overkill the shit out of it. 1 x 40 micron pre surge tank, 2 x 6 micron in parallel post surge tank. That's all getting mounted onto a plate in the RHS of the boot. At some stage of like to put a box over the top and put grey carpet over it with all the factory linings in.

Laying out everything for the airbox. The flange of the filter is 6 inches coming down to 4 inch.

Should be able to bang that out today!

What are you going to be using for your per cylinder egt setup?

Pre and post compressor sensors?

I'll get a photo of the sensor tomorrow night.

[sneakey pete]

Ah no, sorry I was looking at your post from last month mentioning you had per runner egt ports and a post turbo egt port welded into the manifold/dumps, was wondering what system you were using?

 

Also intrigued about the back pressure sensor.

I would assume the pre and post compressor sensors would just be run of the mill 0-5v variety's 

[Piggaz]

EGT sensors look like this. 

Open ended EGT's. These are a Haltech sensor but rebranded. Not sure what the original brand is. I'll have a look. This set is for sale ATM.

The post turbine is a sensor which came with the road rage gauge. That's a display to show the Turbine speed. It came with it so I chucked it in. Here is a link. http://www.roadragegages.com/SBT-kit.htm

The post compressor temp sensor  is actually an EGT sensor due to the heat. It's going to be very interesting to see how hot the compressed air coming out of the turbo actually is. The pre compressor temp sensor is a different design.

Exhaust manifold pressure I'll take a photo tomorrow. I have 2 x -3 bung welded on the manifold. One in each side of the scroll.

Any type K thermo couple would work. 

Tune is going to be tight!

After what happened last year with fuel system rubbish, an EGT setup will show a lazy/blocked injector and potentially save the engine. Cheap insurance IMO!

[sneakey pete]

Should work rather well.

Using the haltech controller box for the egts also?

I need to invest, I was lucky with mine. One had 20% less flow.

No Haltech boxes here. I like my passenger foot well.

[jangles]

Would need two. Impressive the emtron has so many Analogues

LOL

Not sure if trolling or not. I think Paul likes to have passengers in his car rather than an array of shitty haltech extender boxes filling up his floor

[fatz]

Time for laps? 

 

Throw me the keys and we can see what the old girl can do

 

last time I drive a gtr at ec it caught on fire what could possibly go wrong

[NISR32.5]

He's going to have so much monitoring the ecu will be able to tell seat moistness...... For safety of course

Trolling for info is all. If they're all going into the ecu as analogue that would mean 7 boxes sitting on the floor converting it, so I wss wondering if he had some kind of can based egt amplifier?

Scott hasn't mentioned any boxes. I'm 99% certain it's all going straight to the ECU. If I needed anything extra I would have gotten an invoice for it haha.
