Nur33 Drifter Project

[Nur33]

Spent the last day glueing and screwing the engine together, oil pump, sump, water pump, thermostat housing, oil filter block etc. The engine is finally starting to look normal again, just gotta paint the Rocker cover and Power steering pump, alternator and engine mount brackets and order my Mazworx's Intake Plenum and Exhaust Manifold.

Looks good mate. Reason behind the mazworx plenum? To me they look like crap and reading some info on ns.com people are having them crack. Hypertune would be the go

I'm not paying nearly $3k to make 300-350rwkw for a hypertune plenum, the mazworx seems fine for my budget on this car and if it cracks i'll just weld it up. I do have a $200 Greddy copy sitting in the shed it may be going on yet still tossing up ideas.

Get them (mazworx) to anodize it black benny!! Would look the goods.. Ill do a mod to it aswell if you want should stop it cracking but i think thats more related to the vet type manifolds havent heard of any det ones crack.

I wouldn't pay $20 for a Mazworx plenum.

Had one on an engine recently and the fuel rail hit the VCT solenoid, T/B was too far forwards and made cooler piping a pain in the ass.

And when we asked them WTF was going on, their answer was "sorry we dunno."

So they can forget any return business from us.

Got a fair bit of shit done today mostly painting but it all come up pretty good. Decided to use the Fake Greddy plenum now as I have focused most of my money else where, it should hold up to the power I need it for, just gotta buy a good quality throttle body probably a Plazmaman. Alternator just has to be stripped and painted and I stripped the Turbo this afternoon, paint compressor housing black and will order new Tial Rear Housing tomorrow. I have also ordered a Mazworx Exhaust Manifold with Tial 3" V-Band and will be running a 44mm Tial External Wastegate. Only thing left for engine is Injectors(ID 1000cc), Coilpacks (Undecided) and ECU (Vipec V44), all done then, slowly getting there but.

I would be using the standard intake manifold over the greddy style one any day of the week.. Ive seen 460rwkw through one and provided double the response easily.. Those greddy manifolds are lag makers

[Nur33]

Ah the stock one is at the dump now and couldn't be f**ked digging through trash to find it, see how it goes i just wanna get this car going without spending a small fortune, getting a fair few goodies of the R32 Drag car as a shit load of parts are being changed out.

[Nur33]
