sleptema Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 Thats a serious fuel setup!!!!! Such a nice surge tank!!!! My power goal for my 25/30 is 650rwhp. I would rather have too much fuel than get it on the dyno and find out I don't have enough fuel. Obviously I don't think I'll get much more than 500rwhp with my current turbo and cam setup, so this will be total overkill. I have never had or even been in a car running serious power through e85, so I am super keen to get this tune done!

sleptema Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) Dropped the car off at the mechanics before I fly back out to site. They will be doing: Cusco arms all round + wheel allignment Hardrace rear subframe bushes Aluminium radiator (if it arrives while I am gone) Surge tank Wideband o2 IAT Boost control solenoid Ethanol content sensor Took it to the track on Sunday, got a couple nice photos. Car got hot, fast. So mechanic will investigate why it got so hot, but he said it's more than likely my radiator. So probably putting a better one on.

sleptema Posted April 5, 2016 Author Share Posted April 5, 2016 (edited) Dropped the car off at the mechanics again before I fly out. Hopefully will be getting all the work done this time around. Hopefully I can have everything in and tuned before I am back. Will see. Stay tuned for updates Also bought a GTR style wing, currently at the paint shop.

sleptema Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 Haven't updated in a while.Car has been put on the backburner for pretty much this month. I had a couple incorrect pays in a row so I have been a little low on cash because house is number 1 priority! Even still....Things I have bought and are in transit: Nismo solid/short shifter + wavy washers Nismo lug nuts Nismo engine and transmission mounts Braided brake lines Things I have bought and had installed: DBA4000 slotted rotors QF1 pads GTR style spoiler I bought the above mounts because I melted one of mine into jelly at a track day. I made the choice to get better rotors and pads because I felt I lacked the confidence to brake late, plus I need something better for when I start hitting up barbs (June 26th!!). I am also on the hunt for rims and semi slicks.Spoiler looks good. Fitment was meh - holes JUST lined up, but the base doesn't sit flush on the boot. It's raised by 2-3mm on the boot on the inside of the legs. Being black it isn't that noticeable, but it annoys me haha.

sleptema Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 Had a f**king shit day yesterday.Tossed up for ages whether I was going to put on slicks because there was the chance of rain. Didn't put them on, and stayed sunny the rest of the arvo.2nd lap, misjudged a corner came off into the grass and took the front lip off, snapped in half. Car now idling at 2000rpm, won't drop. Righto.Go for another run, popped the elbow coming out of the turbo, day over.Bought a new front lip, less aggressive this time. Dropping the car off at the mechanic and he can deal with it.

sleptema Posted May 26, 2016 Author Share Posted May 26, 2016 It doesn't rain mate, it pours. Sorry to hear it. Isn't that the truth! Had the mechanic ring me up a the next day. Apparently I have some issues that really need sorting on the reliability side of things. The turbo oil drain hose is melted, my boost controller is failing miserably, harnesses aren't routed properly in relation to the high mount. I have given him the all clear to go to town on it to make it reliable before I continue mods. The high idle was a vac line that someone plugged with a bolt that just blew out, and the hose couldn't take the extra boost. He is going to weld a 90 deg elbow off the turbo, eliminates the chance of that popping again. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/449270-the-fr34k-is-back/page/3/#findComment-7734536 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleptema Posted June 2, 2016 Author Share Posted June 2, 2016 Got the car back from the mechanic. New boost controller controlled by the ECU, elbow, lines. Relocated the harness through the wheel well also. HOLY SHIT the car pulls now. And it is smooth. I never realized how awful my old controller was, because now boost comes on smooth as, and holds all the way to 7200. Feels like a completely different car! Also threw some advan 050s on the track rims I bought. Lets hope the price was worth the grip. Sunday is the last day I get to feel my car at a small track before I take it around Barbagello. Lets hope everything holds out!Nismo goodies in the mail! Already installed the nismo shifter, got engine and transmission mounts to go on next swing. They look rock solid, can't wait! 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/449270-the-fr34k-is-back/page/3/#findComment-7738950 Share on other sites More sharing options...

What size wheel tyre on the front? 18x9.5+22 255/40 I ended up raising the suspension slightly and adjusting the damper in the coilover and now it doesn't scrub.
