Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.

just so we are clear, you are aware of the following because of the height difference.

Intercooler pipes wont fit, need to be modified.

exhaust wont fit, needs to be modified.

stock turbo is too small chokes HARD at ~5500 (you end up with about 80kw@ wheels by 6500)

intake pipe will need to be modified unless stock/flexible ish

front strut brace is unlikely to fit

car it came out of was probably automatic, dont forget to change the spigot bush in the crank or you will f**k your input shaft bearings in the gearbox

retaining vct isnt hard, just needs some bundy tube and some patience to run the line from the oil pressure sensor feed.

probably some other things i have forgotten since doing it.

im sure there is a RB30 build thread somewhere that he can follow tits.

Also in case your not aware already

Zac is a mech ;)

One way so solve a lot of thoes, 26 head ;)

There is threads and PDFs and a mountain load of info on them I think I should be pretty right to tackle it. No doubt I will encounter issues but this is a learning experiance and training for me, and not sure on if it will be going in mine or getting sold, ATM if I sell it Kathryn's had already chosen what the money from it is going towards

that only fixes 2 of the issues, strut brace and VCT.

    • Small analogue delay circuit with a relay. Just need a trigger, say, fuel pump running for more than 5s or so? Or, you could go full mental and write a sketch for an Arduino.
    • I don't know, honestly. Easier to just use a CAN wideband with the Haltech so you can get the ECU to control the wideband in the manner described.
    • Update time!  The JZX110 had some maintenance needing to be done, so a lot of the seals with replaced to fix some oil leaks. Also used this opportunity to whack on a front mount that I'd bought some time ago.  I also finally got the rear lip painted and fitted.  I then got the exhaust done. It's just a catback for now. Custom made 3" stainless with a turn down. I could have a tip coming out, but it will require cutting the rear lip and possibly the bumper itself. So far I do like and it's made the car a little more zippy.  Close out with some nice pictures of the cars and a sneak peek of what's next. 
    • Once you learn it all, you find you do the job once. But this is the best way to learn, as you won't forget the lessons
