yeah when i ditched my 3.5 and went to the 4" my egt's were much lower during hard driving, and recovery time was much better for egt as well. holds boost better in top end with my twins but wont notice that with that beefy Garrett, she gunna pull like a maniac either way....

Update

Muffler is manufactured and sent to Perth.

Next week we will be replacing all the fluids, installing the Red Optima battery and the muffler. First start is expected end of next week or early December.

Is there a reason that the bov is pre intercooler and far away from your throttles ? It's also seems unnecessarily long and close to your wheel.

Bov is supposed to be mounted as close as practical to your throttle body, that's why the OEM put them where they are.

Your muffler also looks smaller than 3.5inch internally

2 reasons: Placing the BOV near the turbo is to prevent compressor surge and we thought, if we ever need to go to engineering (if I get yellow stickered etc.) and plumb back, its a lot easier to plumb it back on the passenger side.

Here's another photo from another angle. its pretty far away from the wheel.

Boost control = wastegate via solenoid.

We are using the haltech boost control solenoid. I'm leaving the nitty gritty stuff in the hands of my very capable mechanic haha. 

Excited for the first start up on Monday!

Hey mate...just checked out this thread... nice build, your gonna love it. I got my car back a couple of weeks ago, running a similar setup. Made 450kw on pump and 550kw on e85. 

Hi mate,

Thars great! How much boost you pushing through? 550kw is amazing! I'll be happy with 475kw!

Did you have to run in your engine for a bit?

My engine was already previously built.. just done the single turbo setup and some further supporting mods... 19psi on pump and 21psi on e85... if you haven't finished your exhaust, I would recommend getting an AES dump valve... easy power gains when open and it makes it sound like a monster with the flick of a switch...

UPDATE:

Its been a while.. started working FIFO so things are moving a little slow.

Still waiting for the paint prep to be completed before the respray. In the mean time we have an issue to solve which I think its the Gearbox input shaft. There's a rattling noise coming but couldnt not figure out the exact location. The tuner and my mechanic's first guess was the alternator bearing but we've started the car without the belt and the rattling was still there. 

When the clutch is pressed in, the rattling goes away and the usual twin plate clutch noise comes which isn't too loud.  Due to be back home next Friday so I will be dropping the gearbox out, leave flywheel on, bolt up the bell housing/plug the starter and start the car to confirm its the gearbox.

Overall, very happy how the car turned out mechanically but I will be doing some more upgrades during the year so watch this space!

Did i miss something, how did it go on the dyno?

Running Tune went pretty good mate. The car drives pretty good, its just that rattling noise that I have to figure out (I put my bet towards the gearbox input shaft).

The only issue with dyno was the exhaust side of the engine bay paint lifting/burning off due to me not having a turbo beanie +reflective tape along that side of the engine bay lol. Turbo sits too close towards the engine LHS engine bay. Will fix that after the exterior paint is completed.

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
