Just received an e-mail from Will at JHH. After a lot of miscommunication and non-communication... My block is assembled... And my head has been ported, guides installed and valve seats cut. All that is left is the clean and final assembly! :):):):):)

bababababannnnggg!

I'm confident! :)

Put the tensioners on tomorrow or monday if I get a chance then the head can go on, put the timing belt on, make sure the pistons dont hit the valves (important step lol) and then I'll be running out of excuses. May take the Skyline off the road next time I'm home from work and pull the other engine out, send the clutch away and have it ready to put the new one in the round after

I REALLY am running out of excuses not to finish it now

More photos, today made some pretty big steps :)

Manifold and turbo arent bolted on at the moment, just there for some final alignment/modifications. So hopefully will pull the car off the road next time I'm back from work, work out the dump/wastegate setup and then get it all happening :)

Looks like an dirty old diesel turbo Cal.

Get off the drugs :P

I'm keen for first startup but will be a bit nervous as well to see if the oil control is gonna be alright.

I've always been a fan of s15's. They feel alot faster with minimal mods compared to skylines at least. 3071 and supporting mods would be fun enough

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
