Ok dudes, im gettin ready for my nex step in preformance. I want a full drag setup, and im building a new block with a HKS 2.8 stroker etc. Im putting in a autronic ecu with a HKS T51 SPL turbocharger wich i think can make the 1000HP with supporting mods. ill run 3 bosch 044 pumps with a 2l swirl system and a tomei stnd GTR pump for lifting. 1000cc injectors with a FPR. my question is what cams i should use for this setup. its going to be a outrageous drag build. ill be using the PPG 6spd gearbox, and a Exedy tripple plate clutch. the cams must be for top preformance, they need to hold the engine till 11k rpm. and also what kind of ignition setup do i need, cuz now i am running splitfires with a HKS ign amplifier. do i need better coils. the head ill be putting on the engine will have 1mm oversize valves, a port polish job and all the valve train needed to support the engine. when i am talking about cams i mean duration and lift. if you guys can give me some input it would be geatly appreciated, cuz i dont have anyone in my country that can help me with advice on my sky GTR.

but i would use this set-up with the 1mm oversize valves

Hey Paul what sort of hp will stock sized valves create a restriction? do u use 1mm oversized on inlet and exhuast when u upgrade? how much are the oversized valves exactly and how much machine work is required for these to fit in the place of stock valves?

just enquiring as i run the setup i mentioned

We have noticed a significant improvement in running oversized valves with this sized turbine and camshaft selection. Both in overall power and engine response.

i can get you a definate price on valves for you tomm. if you like, they are not as expensive as you may think

clearly recutting of the valve seats is required and guide clearance checked

Didn't you post a while back that you used poncams? Oversized cams with poncams is a overkill imo

or when you say we are you including yourself in the experience CRD has?

i haven't used a poncam in nearly 12 months, and yes oversized valves would be overkill for that application.

yes as major sponsor of our racecar CRD includes us in the development and research of OUR engines as well as using/sharing research gained from other cars.

Oh shlt sorry about that I thought you built your own engines and hadn't raced for nearly 12 months, whats the latest times your running?

yes you are correct, until recently i had engineered the car all on my own...engine building, modification, research and development. With CRD tuning the combinations i put together (with great success too i might add).

The last 12 months has seen our relationship with CRD expand to the point where they have included their knowledge in our engineering decisions, including engine builds and development, they have just completed building our next engine in house at CRD. Currently we are attempting to get our car finalised with new combo trackside next weekend. But due to component delivery delays we will be aiming for the WSID bracket meet on the 17th. If you are interested keep in touch via pm and ill let you know what day we are running, so you can come and check out the new set-up.

anyway im here trying to assist Faid with his set-up so.....

back on topic please.

Thanks for the input guys. i think ill go the Jun 280 with 11.35 mm lift way. the head is being assembled by AEBS california, i only have to mail them with the specs and they set it up for me. eeumh another question if i run 10.49 with 600-625 awhp, what kinda times am i looking at with 900hp, full slick tires and a PPG gearbox. If its not to much of a hassle, you guys are invited to come to the race weekend (6-8 april) and watch compettitors from all over the carribean compete. Im defending my national title, can you believe that 10.49s is the best time we've clocked in this country

if you want to do the turbo setup right, dont use an off-the-shelf undivided T51R.

make sure the turbine inlet and turbo manifold is divided/twinscroll and try to use two wastegates (one on each division). it makes a big difference!!

does a twin wastegate setup on a single turbo realy make that big a difference, i allready have a split pulse entry manifold, it was for my T04Z but i am using the adaptor plate for the T51. i use a 60m HKS race gate wastegate, wich will stay atmo with a screamer and i will make a shorty exhaust from 4.5" tubing exiting behind the front wheel. the block was taken apart today, getting prepped to bore out and fit the HKS step III stroker, Trust enlarged sump, ATi balancer, and all the bits and pieces, the head will be done tomorrow, and i will be incorporating the Jun 280 @ 11.35 mm camshafts. so i think by this time next week the engine can be hung, and the painfull process of running wires and tuning the ECU can start. the gearbox is ready to go in, it has been prepped and filled with oil, the uprated driveshafts are allready bolted tight, so i hope to finish the build next week or so, cuz next weak my leave ends at work, and i have to work my arse off again

    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
