fail. got bored and started refitting my turbo, had to take all the lines off to fit it on, put the turbo back in, new gasket, bolted up, lock tabs ready, start refitting the lines, water feed, done, water drain, done, oil feed... well yeah... turns out i cant get the oil feed on with the turbo on. fail. lol.

Looks neat Ruby :P

Got a call from AM Andrew, my dump/front pipe should be ready today :D

heslos bring mine around for me today. :D

got a pic of it the other day, looks much awesome.

:edit:

new cooler looks good ruby, how was the fitment? will have to look at ordering mine pretty soon me thinks.

and enough working on my car for now. cant get the f**king oil fitting on the block to go back on. ill attack it again after a few hours sleep i think.

Fitment was easy. Didn't even need to remove the front bar. Took all the measurements I needed, removed old fmic and piping, make up some sturdy brackets for mounting the new fmic, slide it into place, bolt up. Check position/center ... tighten mounting bolts. Then fabricate up the pipework ... that took a while :P Still using the old silicone hoses and clamps, looking for new ones this week.

Good to know I can still weld :D No leaks, and neat welds. I pull the piping all off later this week/weekend to tidy up some of the splatter and paint it satin black. Fmic will stay polished this time :P

Because I have the type M bar now, the old fmic looked 'sad' in that gapping mouth :P The delta fin fmic suits the bar well and I was able to mount it lower than the previous fmic, allowing more flow to the cooler. :D

I'm interested in getting a dump/front pipe combo... can u PM me details of how much it cost?

cheers

-D

Pm not working for me at the moment!

$360 for the split dump and $250 for 200 cell hi flow cat. Not sure about dumps and front pipes for RB26 though.

    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
