Project Cosmo - Finished (nearly)

[B-Man]

Finally , all the parts are here and the workshop is ready !

I had a 3/4 mongrel when my Skyline went in for the works - But this is different.

Learning from the past builds, parts, bits, pieces and workshops has taught me a lot.

Can't say that I have it 100% perfect this time - but has to be better than the last try !

So now I have a 7/9 mongrel

I'm pretty excited -

3-4 weeks I should have it back.

Not going to speculate about peak and average power, but I am hoping for some good numbers ! And then some good times to back it up.

Geez, I havent been to WSID for ages - Can't wait for a test run !

It's going in to Race Solutions / HitMan for the works - Maroun from RS will do all the mechanical work and fabrication - and Matt will do the Haltech install and tune !

Cheers !

[lingeringsoul]

don't forget FOTOZ!!

[shonen]

ohhhhh B man I should see your car there then !!

My cars going into to be tuned by Matt next week or so

My manifold just got posted today so my mechanic should have it on monday !!!!

All other parts are ready....

Maroun will take good care of your car and he is an awesome fabricater!! nice choice

[benm]

I have 1/2 mongrel just knowing u have 7/9 a mongrel !!

Lemme know when it's at Hitman so I can go and take a look!

[B-Man]

It's there right now !

[legend01]

Well its in good hands then

[B-Man]

Need help urgently .....

The 1.00 AR rear housing on the HKS T04Z is too small...

I need a 1.15 or 1.32 housing from Garrett.

If anyone wants to swap outright or I can buy outright - let me know !

Cheers,

B-Man

im exited

1.00 to small

im more extied knowing this

[shonen]

ohh man I seriously cant wait to hear this thing..

20Bs sound f**king awesome with a massive turbo...

[B-Man]

Problem sorted - 1.32 rear on the way !

[d0p3y]

What you getting done internal wise? What kinda porting, what seals, dowelling, etc?

[B-Man]

Nothing on the internals yet.

But when I do it won't be dramatic. SCR Seals. Maybe a mild extended port.

The motor is pretty fresh - and the 20B flows heaps enought to spin the turb. So I'll just leave it for now until - (a) something breaks and ((B) fundage is a bit better.

PS - 2Rismo ! I have been convinced to trick the auto. I'm sure you'll be happy about that. Cosmo's share gearboxes with Nissans ! ha ha - Same as a 300ZX. I'v e been put in touch with a place that can work magic on these things.

[d0p3y]

Something will break eventually with a T04 on a stocko 20B

Get some nice big porting and some tougher seals put in, and some extra dowelling and up the booooooost

P.S. Autos are for poofs

Good man! I'm guessing BMS/Wollongong Autos or Powershift. The box should be an RE403A yeah?

[B-Man]

Not sure on the details mate - but Maroun from Race Solutions has a mate that has done many 300ZX boxes - I think he said that they are Jatco ??? No sure but.

Apparently he can set them up for the best of both worlds - Full manualised auto with steering wheel shift buttons , fast changes - And then flick a switch and can go back to the feel of std auto.

2800 or 3000 RPM stall converter means that I will have boost straight off the line. Therefor more average power to the ground than any manual. This offsets by far any drivetrain losses of the auto.

I still don't quite understand how it all works in terms of the stally slipping etc - but I wil ldo some more research - As I don't like putting things in my car that I don't understand how they work - ha ha.

Should be a beast with the 1.32 - Now looking at 400kw at the wheels - then more if engine re done and max the boost.

fingers crossed - no b-manning !

Ye of little faith Drunkan !

[B-Man]

Jumbo - had a big think about it - and I will have the TX3 turbo project for the manual fun ! So sticking with the auto onthe Cozzy now !

[2rismo]

300ZX Autos are RE403A's i'm pretty sure. Some interchangable parts with Skyline and WRX boxes (RE401A) but overall a bit bigger and stronger.

Nice that you can still use the steering wheel for shifts - B-Man + 400kW launch = OMG!!!

I can speak very highly of SCR seals too! Webby does a great job on them and I've seen them take a huge battering. Cheap too!

Fair call.
