the pics of your car look almost identical to mine :P Except i got a series 1 and kakimoto wheels (similar). Also got FMIC and ARC induction box. Thought somebody posted pics of my car!

Good luck with the build. You have an excellent parts list.

Where did you source all the parts?

Nice work interesting build up.... now when you going to take it down to the drag strip to see what the HKS GT-RS can do :)

Thanks for the kind words. As for the drag strip, soon as its run in. I take my pregnant wife along for the first 1000kms to run it in so im sure to take it nice and slow as i have no choice or a chance to slip up and go crazy too soon ! (and an occassional scream is very assisting ) Then i'll get myself a decent set of drag slicks and head on down to the track. Hopefully I'll meet some other members there. :)

Hi Warlord, very nice! you must be happy with the result.

Quick question with the piping on the intake side of the Greddy plenum, I notice you've gone down through the top where the waher bottle was. Is it possible to use the Hybrid style hole which goes underneath the bottle?

you could ,it would be very very close i looked at it for a while you would need some serious bends,but i think the way it was done in my car is easier .

I know is't stating the obvious but make sure you run it in properly. It'll be hard to resist the temptation to 'test it out' but it'll be alot safer if you don't, (for a while anyway)

Once the rings are bed, thats it.

Dip into temptation as much as you want.

260kw is pretty sweet, but i want to see more from this package :)

i f*cken love the black plenum too - i'm assuming you bought it like that? the lack of piping is very nice, though i want to see you tidy that engine bay up a bit more :P:thumbsup:

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
