Great build mate. What are your aims for hp and 1/4 mile times?

Thanks mate. Not attempting to break any records id like to make close to 1000rwhp and keep things relatively reliable run high 8's with what appears a pretty complete nice looking car.

-16 dry break for filling the fuel tank. We wanted to keep the fuel tank as high as possible to gravity feed the mechanical fuel pump up front. By doing that it caused filling and fuel capacity issues if we used the factory filling location. Fingers crossed with a straight-ish run of -12 line and the biggest body highest flowing aeromotive inline filter we will supply fuel the length of the car without the need for a front mounted fuel cell. A lot of the muscle car guys run this system and said as long as you don't 60ft under 1.2 sec they have found this to work and keep things simple.

Could've dropped some easy weight by ditching the exhaust but i prefer the sound through muffler and no screamers so we built a full 4.5" system using volvo 4.5" truck clamps as i couldn't sources 4.5" vbands at a decent price

Built muffler to how we wanted it 4.5" inlet to twin 3.5" tips for the factory look haha only came in full packed with glass and steel wool at 12KG so not too heavy.

This is the stuff dreams are made of!! Simply beautiful work Ryan. Someone knows what they're doing, well done sir.

Very interested to know who is doing all the fabrication work?

Cheers mate appreciate you're comment. This is definitely my dream/ultimate build id been constructing this one in my head for a long time now and its finally about to come to life very exciting . All the design/fabrication work was done by Daniel from DTP motorsports his is a very very talented guy. Check out his Facebook page he goes to extreme lengths for the smallest details and that was just how i wanted this build..

Once the standard fascia was how we wanted the final product it was wrapped in fibreglass and this plug was made. Undercoated then cleared and polished so the carbon didn't stick to the plug.

post-20010-0-25692300-1421059952_thumb.jpg

Heres the carbon going into the plug. We really need a vaccum bag setup to get a perfect finish for this job.

post-20010-0-29640200-1421060198_thumb.jpg

Finished product. Would've liked to have the bare carbon look but we got a few imperfection in the finish we couldn't hide so we painted to suit factory dash.

4 button steering wheel setup.

post-20010-0-17973200-1421061328_thumb.jpg

To save getting caught up in the wiring on the back of the wheel while your steering the thing a wood plug was made into a certain shape to cover the buttons. Then a thin sheet of ally was massaged around the timber to cover the wiring and also to mount to the wheel. Turned out great. :yes:

Chassis harness just completed and ready for install. Around 1400m of cable at this point in the chassis with the engine and ignition coil harnesses still to do. Mentioned in a previous post we're running a motec power distribution module this is a electronic relay/fuse box that can be programmed to perform functions like turn on & off pumps/solenoids/lights and really simplifies wiring. Only the engine thermo fan and lights couldn't be controlled by the power distribution module as we ran out of outputs. Some clever stuff can be programmed with this module.

One example is the 1st gear switch input for the ecu to lock out a transbrake launch/solenoid if your about to launch the car from a stop and your in second gear :whistling:

Where did you get the Motec kit from if you don't mind me asking? What was the pricing like?

Mate I'm not going to lie its quite expensive gear. I actually purchased the M800 back in 2002 and is still current today where some guys might have had to upgrade twice since the early 2000's to expand there requirements. Each purchase was spread out over a few different cars iv built so not one big hit to the wallet haha :spank: You can email any motec dealer and they will email you retail price catalogue. Retail is what everyone pays unfortunately.

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
