    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?

    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.

    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.

    hey mate, I know you have! you've helped me with this build as well (especially with identifying whether I had the long or short nose crank collar) appreciate the help🙏

    GTR R32 Fuel Tank Cleaning

    Fully serious. Test it on a gummy hose clamp or something else from your tank. It will strip the crap off everything. Obviously make sure your tank is pressure washed afterwards and left to dry, as the last thing you want in your fuel system is bleach. Results may vary depending on the crud in your tank, might need more but it's a good start with 8lt and will 100% work. Please post results for confirmation as I've seen no one recommend it before and has proven for me to be the only sure way that works. If you can seal the tank and invert it even better, as getting it off of the bulkhead area is the hardest part. Good round up weed killer substitute afterwards.

    Hi mate,

    Here's the results and the process;

    1) Empty the old fuel and dispose

    2) Degrease the fuel tank inside out

    3) Pressure wash is multiple times

    4) I put in 12l of bleach and shake the fuel tank to make sure it reaches everywhere

    5) Left it overnight and came back the next day and pressure washed it again, and again and again lol 

    6) Air dryed

    7) Cleaned the outside of the tank and give it a fresh coat of satin black paint

    Any reason you're going 3.5' exhaust and not 4'? I've just gone from a 3.5' to a 4' system on 98RON. This allowed me to run more boost (Ignition timing was close at only 18psi using -5's with the 3.5'). With the 4' exhaust and 4psi of boost added, I gained 40kw at the wheels. I'd definitely be going 4' if you're paying for a custom system anyway.

    Could do 4' as well but I personally prefer the 3.5'. I think for the power I am chasing which is mid to high 400 kw's. You have a valid point tho.

    In my opinion, no need to overkill.. the car will be run on E85 most of the time even tho we're going with a flex fuel set up, so we don't see the need for a 4' to chase a few extra kw's. I think it all comes down to personal preference and the power you'd like to achieve.

    UPDATE;

    Ordered the Frenchies baffled twin pump fuel system kit including 2x Walbro 460 pumps.

    I think we are tracking well to finish the car early December. 

    What is remaining;

    -Complete the engine bay (fittings, hoses, catch can set up etc)

    -Plumbing is still on going

    -Frenchies system to go in

    -Custom 3.5inc exhaust to be made and fitted

    -DYNO

    To be honest, I have but I have just never been a fan. I don't know why but it just something about the wagon Liberty I like. But i have heard good things so i'll add it to my list of options, thanks :)

    Very nice car man! I drove a few and always liked how they drive.

    Only downfall is the maintenance of the car as I feel like the engine bay is too cramped.
