well new belt and cam gears fitted up, did G1 round 3 - good result qualifying in top 16 - drew christian pickering first round, he beat me 6-4, 6-4 on the two runs...

with only doing 2 rounds of the 3 round series, i ended up 16th for South Australia G1 Championships. ;)

The car is now gonna get pulled down again and freshened up... should look HOT!!!!

Also going to upgrade the turbo again (power hungry lol) so the hks gt2540 is now for sale - its been running on 1.2 bar at the moment (around 220rwkw). click link for details :thumbsup:

More updates later, as things start to happen

I've got some other bits for sale, and will update bits for sale as i find them. As i'm gonna do a shed clearout of all my bits and pieces.

Here's a pic from G1

well with help from my fellow FULL TUNE members, and SIMON from MORPOWA - i've been slowly getting this thing done.

there's 2 major mods going on at the moment, exterior and power.

only going to go into detail about the power side of it for now and unveil pics once car is all finished.

POWER

well the hks2540 is long gone, and 1400r sourced me a dmax manifold from japan which is now on the car. I also got myself a Garrett GT3076r IW with the .6 front and 56trim wheel with .63 exhaust housing from SIMON at MORPOWA he also modified the wastegate to have a larger port and also larger flap. Coming off the back of this is an awesome screamer dump / front pipe with flex join from AM PERFORMANCE here in Adelaide. I modified my intake pipe which i had on the previous setup to suit this turbo, its not perfect but it will be more than sufficient for the job.

still have to fit the nismo adjustable fuel pressure reg that i've got, but that is a simple bolt on item.

I am nearly at the point of starting the engine and hearing this thing run again, but i'm still waiting on the return of my I/C pipe modded, hose for oil drain - then all sorted.

260+ is the goal for this setup by what boost... now that is the question...but i will find out soon enough.

EXTERIOR

i have a 'few' more new things which will make the car stand out and make it more individual over other ceffy's, including other pieces from other cars which have been modified to suit... more on that when its all finished though!

i will put up a pic of how the car looks at the moment though.

cheers

-Matt

Edited by huddy

well paint colour should be revealed soon :thumbsup:

ultimately i would like 280+rwkw, but i do have gtr injectors with fuel reg, so unsure if i have enough fuel from this and also walbro intank pump.

also skeptical on the whole setup as its on a rb20 based engine.

should find out in the next month or so :D

well... it runs!!

slight problem, need to modify the awesome front/dump as it is a little low :P

but other than that, it was good to start the engine in about 2months (or more)!!!

hopefully i'll get a tune next week, just have to get the dump/front modified again first.

got the GT3076r fitted up (with the wastegate ported out and larger flap fitted)

DMAX stainless manifold fitted (welded on extra gusset) (+ nissan ex mani gasket)

AM Performance Stainless screamer front/dump *TUFF AS*

new braided oil feed line and water lines, re-sleeved with heat sleeving

ally intake pipe was modified to suit with 4"-3" reducer

also fitted a nismo adjustable FPR

enjoy the pics.

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
