Updating to a Motec M150 GPRP Pro package with all the gear to try and manage this thing moving forward and help a rank amateur like myself to extract the most I can out of this car eventually this is going to pretty much require a full car rewire but given the first incarnation of the car was 8 years ago with just a basic package you know what its like when you start adding this and splicing that etc everything just gets outdated and messy. This will go in very soon and be coupled with a new hot side of Artec exh mani and G35 1050 thats been sitting on the shelf for a while

Billet: 60 deg oil and water and send it Other thing to consider is cast blocks other than potential cracking and splitting bores which is just a flip of a coin is keeping the head on. 11mm head studs vs 1/2" needed to keep a head on properly and not really enough material in the cast blocks to keep 1/2" safe n sound for too long Btw talking consistant big power applications

I have this head drain on my engine setup. It was already on the complete engine I bought when I got it. We used the oil drain line to the sump and blocked the water line, others that run the same setup mine is based off for motorsport use and recommend the water line. Btw - I have a spare brand new one for sale if you want it 😄

^^ twas my experience also like for like cars only difference was greddy vs my plasmaman topmount as similar result My old plasmaman seems to still be doing the job 🙃 just not as cool these days

Also just remembered 🤪 I have this kit on my current engine setup as I run the dry sump belt inclusive of the P/s pump many high HP and revving Rb's running this setup on track

I did this on my drift car with rb25det long time before this fancy stuff came out I used an offset rb30 idler situation but 100% solved my belt spitting problems

Ive had that plenum on forever since there wasnt many options and from my experience Ive seen better torque and similar power with nearly every incarnation of diff setups Ive had along the way vs similar .. and then you calcuate the $ spend vs any marginal benefit of the newer ones also... disclaimer on sub 600hp setups Tbh now... its just a $ elsewhere first thing to improve the car other places and get it to the track I do want to change it though just because But when one of the better rb builders and tuners around atm says its completely fine and wont stop you making everything we'll need... it will stay at the back of the list for now Torque mapping just used to get the engine up to speed as quick as possible / inputting desired torque level with being within the tyre slip window and not blowing the tyres off for the turbo taking over for the power in higher rpm This plenum will still let us do all that This will live between 5k to 8.5k rpm and new turbo combo 5 to 9k so response as such not needed but its also there If i stuff it 😆

thats says and covers I think 😅 thanks was hetic for sure 100% agree I think most of us would agree racing is racing but without mates there and helping and all kinds of things we'd be stuffed half the time and it would be as good either Im still blown away at how much effort gets put in so I can go race while this seems like a big flashy car etc and might well be, this is not a cheque book workshop build (as such) we did 70% of this in my garage at home and then when at the workshop I played courier, cleaner and tool passer etc all late into the night there with them like you guys would ... you put in the effort yourself and look after those that help you and it goes along way ! he does .... and alot of other things also. very knowledgeable and helpful (for the right people ha) and has been a huge help in the recent development of the car over and above just all the shiney bits yeah I did question it years ago when it was done but went with what I was given now much better amazing the difference in VCT and small cams (260 poncams) vs no VCT and big cams (278 kelfords) drivability especially out of corners with the mapping etc vs throttle blaa blaaa is so much better

thanks ! yeah they did change the throttle / pedal situation to prob somewhat what youve just outlined, didnt have a chance to get into details yet so much going on its extremely drivable compared to what Ive had previously even at significantly more HP now Im used to having to feather onto the throttle coming out of corners due to the ramp up etc but dont have to now so will have to learn to get onto throttle earlier on apex not after this is with a borrowed Motec M130 also new M150 with pro torque mapping etc package incoming Below is like for like new vs old motor biggest things I think being higher compression, smaller cams and adding back VCT that I didnt have before as last tuner took it out

Build / events/ story this will be a condensed version because a million things have happening in the last 3 weeks After making the car pretty and complete above went for a private test day to get back in the seat - limited laps due to time running out but sorted alot of gremlins and tweeks out and could tell the car felt more balanced and was happy to end the day with some good runs End of that week I went down to our other track at Collie for a round of our state sprint series - the track is more technical and good corner flows hadnt driven the long track basically - by the end of the day was starting to get a handle on the track and car ended up getting class win and 2nd overall to a radical We'd had a good day and thought we'd do one more session and go home not doing the last session but on the last lap - bang ... the death rattle what turned out to be a rod bolt failure and put a hole in both sides of the block With WA Time attack only 13 days way that we were gearing up for this was not great at all let alone blowing the engine fullstop WA Time attack is our premier event for what I want to race in and being in little old Perth its hard to get anywhere else to race with ease so we try to work towards this as our big event for the year All the round abouts and stories in between but basically we decided to have a crack at getting a billet engine in the hole for the event as this was our next move and a long term solution anyway - it was just being accelerated time wise Pulling out and cleaning dry sump lines/ system and 12ltrs + of oil off a car is not a fun job especially in a time crunch but we got to it We decided due to time constraints etc we would just run the old turbo setup as that would be bolt on and no fab needed so we stayed with that finally got the thing in the hole and base idling with 2 days to go Tune the next day everything went well and the result surprised us This is a Nitto RB2.7 running 11:1 compression with a full house Neo head and the little Gen II GTX 3582 pumped out the powas making 845 rwhp on the hubber at 33psi Next day was full prep mode late into the night but we got it done The first 2 sessions we battled engine cutting out with fuel cut issues, then we broke a suspension part the guys got to it Eventually we got a lap in won the event and put down a time attack lap record that Ive been chasing for a while Will just keep chipping away at the things we have planned and get more seat time as have to learn to drive the car as the way its tuned now is very different with throttle and way the power comes on etc which will be a good challenge as a driver to be able to push this to 10 tenths again will be fun One of the bigger things to come out of this for me is the car doesnt overheat at all the introduction of the new PWR crossflow rad and the Plasmaman cooler has just been awesome with lower IAT and resulting overall lower temps for everything therefore better engine performance has been great

how good is it when the car just works ! well done mate alot of hard work to get it there tough good times on track though

From here I dont know to be honest I didnt expect to have the engine I have and that result from my old turbo I bought the G35 1050 9 + months ago to go in a cast 9:1 rb28 with rb25 head converted to solid I was going to build to get a nice 800hp ish due to many factors Ive just put in a Billet Nitto 2.7 with full racehead at 11:1 and got that results because I had to make an event and didnt have time to put the new turbo setup on (needed fab) So spose id expect a little bit more, a newer turbo (time use wise) and be able to live in a higher rpm range a bit better which is where this needs to be run ?

Very different engines and also different goals though But yes it did surprise

7.3kg with bubble wrap ha

Not a G series so dont know if its wanted in here? If not can post in dyno results, but thought it might be of interest to show the actual capacity to move air of the Gen ll GTX3582 when pushed a bit and right everything behind it Not front loaded for mass response and specific for circuit car with sequential Rb2.7 neo head vct high compression 845 rwhp at 33psi 8500rpm hub dyno Dont get too technical on me I just drive and its fast it was more for interest sake of those whom might care 😄 G35 1050 1.01 to come soon

mine will be going on in the next month or so ish by March latest think by powers of deduction we might have same tuner also unfortunately mine wont be back to back as im changing turbos also

@Unzipped Composites in Perth - this is for a 4 door. Do it 😆

Thanks mate Already have the billet to go in soon its just rb2.7 😄 No to 4wd lol, not allowed space frame or active aero so I can save money there hahaha Only been out twice with the car now both in the dry obviously - ABS you set it up with the ABS off how you want it - turn it one knob on. Any more than that on a good track it ruins your braking I think From quick analysis Its doesnt make you brake any better as such but it allows you to push your braking harder to test the limits and if you go too far it 'saves' you from locking up or binning it

too much info through all this or not enough ?? new look is done out for testing so much to do still never ends

not got alot of luck there do you new car interior really nice - wish they all stayed that way Is it literally going to be everything from the 180 straight into the s15 or anything new?

I havent driven in 8 mths and changed so much in the car on a busy track I didnt know which way was up haha

9.3kg from roof and exactly 10kg a side saved compared to my gutted metal doors so 30kg all up Its amazing how many kgs creeps back in though with bigger this and that and safety etc 😳 Yeop. Nearly all the suspension arms had been messed with so much over the years they were all out pretty much

getting the car going again and back on track has been slower than expected and wanted now its getting critical time to get it rolling so now there is a big rush = motorsport right The ABS in in and setup - g sensor shown - take a bit to tweek The new PWR rad and Plasmaman I/C installed - dyno testing and first time on the track and its proven both in power, efficiency and temp control to be a winning combo atm Kept popping silicone and been meaning to do it forever finally got around to putting proper clamps on piping no more boost leaks or splitting Got proper seat rails fabbed up this has made a massive difference to comfort and control in the car we did a complete from scratch over hall of the suspension setup all arms came out, adjusted to equal length, changes bolts, reset compression and droop etc - this has led to a higher ride height so have to get the splitter etc reset to a lower level this is being done now Along the way you might see now there is some new shiney and lighter parts on the car - more to come Given the time constraints of getting the car back on track I havent been able to get the head build to sit on top of the billet engine, really wish I couldve got it done, but alas. I'll spare you the massive back and forth dramas getting this dyno'd but It got done Finally got to the track and after more dramas got sorted from remote assistance and belted around for 2 sessions in traffic - no fast laps reallyand alot to get up to speed on very quickly so got to get as much seat time as I can asap but good to get out there That night went home and washed the car straight to spono car show night which is getting pretty big and awesome now. Car is mismatched atm - thats getting sorted very soon ........... end scene

💪 ducting looks good too what coils setup ?

this is what I'll be doing - G35 - 1050 with 1.01 v band rear with rb27 and 35 psi would think be around mid/high 800 hubs still think
