Hey everyone

I thought it was time to show everyone what me and Mick have been working on for quite some time.

The car has undergone a heap of work in the last few months, mainly to have it ready to compete at Drift Fest.

From repairing and replacing parts after a pressure plate exploded which destroyed the gearbox, damaged the engine and

created a nice letter box hole in my firewall, to installing a new turbo kit - which has upped power drematically to

260 RwKW @ 20psi from the Rb20. To finally painting and kitting the once VERY rough 32.

Anyone who saw the car before Mick got his hands of liquid gold on to it will understand just how much work as gone into

this , and will appreciate just how amazing he is at his job !

Drift Fest was a great learning curve for us, we saw that there are changes to be made, and the car will be back out in 08

bigger and better.

We also look forward to having a go and some other non drift days, which i think will be a blast.

Cheers All

Tim.

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
