The washer bottle wont really fit in front of the fuse box, the 3" cooler pipe is decieving in that photo lol, the washer bottle used to be zip tied there and I couldnt really mount it there properly. I was going to mount it under the front and have the washer cap sitting at one of the cooler pipe holes, but it was a bit to hard to do. Does the job where it is, until it melts through from all that heat lol

Yeah, Ive been thinking about spraying the coolant bottle black and just leaving a strip so you can see the level, but havent been bothered yet. Because It's a daily its not easy to justify taking it off the road for little things like that. Think I do have another power steering Reserviour that I might be able to do something with. Ideally I'd like an aftermarket one if I could find one

looks nice and clean.

That intercooler looks like its not finished, or something doesnt quite look right about it, but it looks good custom fit in there

That is my oil cooler.

Here is a pic of the intercooler.

I bought the oil cooler from ARE coolers in Queensland for $350.00 and used a plastic air diverter panel that was broken and used it as a template for a a mate to bend up some aluminium to shape without bonnet lock holes (because racecar) then welded the cooler to the new air diverter plate and mounted the oil filter to the underside of the air diverter for easy oil filter access and cooling.

No only stage 1 with - 9 Turbo. Blown the stock Turbo and screwed one of the cylinder.

Ah ok, so hence the engine build, haha!

How do you find the setup?

I have a Stage 1 with -7's and is nice for the street.

    • No intention of driving the car the way it's set up now, just wanting to make sure I haven't made any mistakes along the way so that the tune can go smoothly, I don't want to waste anyone's time with stupid issues. And of course I intend to get it towed to the dyno in a completed state 😅 I have the base fuel pressure with the vacuum disconnected set at about 40psi, which I believe is at least relatively close to stock fuel pressure, maybe I'll have a fiddle with the reg and see what happens. For all I know I could be wasting my time with this and I should just plumb it in and see what the tuner reckons. I just find it a bit strange that it seems to be under so much load just free revving, but maybe that's just a result of the turbo slowing down the exhaust gasses and making a restriction in the flow, with no boost to compensate.
    • The boy just hit up google translate and it worked a treat, he said step one was "please urinate with precision and elegance", he then sent me the correct translation  I get some new loctite for the small fixtures tomorrow and get some "dort" going after that 🤣
    • Right, so is the fuel pressure the same as it was previously? If not, well, it's not going to work well. I can understand the theory I assume you are going for, which is: "Run it N/A, and if I have the original AFM, and same amount of fuel and intake air as previously, the fact there's a turbo in my exhaust should still make it run" Which it... might? Provided you don't actually change how much air or fuel is going into the car.. or getting out. But if you have changed that, all bets are off. What is the purpose to even have the car run this way? To get it to a tuner? And if the goal is to limp it to a tuner, you're still going to what - plumb up a whole intercooler system and new intake in the parking lot out front before your tune......?
    • Haha yea it's a bit of a weird setup at the moment, just wanted to make sure I sorted out any headaches before dyno day. At the moment I've changed the exhaust manifold, turbo and downpipe, 460lph fuel pump and rising rate reg as well as the previously mentioned headstuds and gasket. The nistune was already mapped for the car as it was and drove around for a few months no worries. The plan is to run flex fuel hence the big pump, which I've wired direct to the battery through a relay to avoid voltage issues.
    • Um. Was the ECU the same as the one previously there? I know R33's needed R32 GTST ECU's or other tomfoolery to run Nistune. This is such a wild setup. Most people would plumb in the turbo then not drive the car (i.e tow it to a tuner). What's actually changed since it last ran?
