Hi all,

Last November my car had an "incident" with a fence,and while waiting for it to come back from the smash repairers i deceided to go all out on the motor.My focus is reliability and efficiency,aswell as some nice streetable power.Every week since then has been like xmas,as pressies arrive at my door.

The last parts have been ordered and will be arriving next week.List as follows:

CP pistons(9.0:1CR) 20thou over

Spool rods

Cometic 1.2mm MLS head gasket

Nissan gasket kit

Tomei valve springs

Tomei 256 Poncams

Tomei oil gallery restrictor

JUN crank collar

Custom head to sump oil drain

N1 oil pump

Greddy plenum

Greddy throttle adapter

Nismo 740c injectors

Nismo fuel pump

Nismo engine mounts

ARP head,main,rod and exhaust studs

ACL Race series main and rod bearings

Splitfire coils

GT3037 .82 turbo (has the slotted cover for that T51r sound)

GCG Stainless highmount manifold

Turbosmart 38mm Ultragate

All controlled by a Haltech E11v2.

The block and crank will be cleaned up and prepped (honed,linished,balanced,grub screwed ect)

Still trying to decide if im going to wrap or coat the manifold? Also im looking at buying a new crank collar.Is it worth getting one?

Please give me your thoughts and all suggestions welcome.

Ill be posting some pics as the build progresses.

Hey, ive got the gcg manifold, and although theyre thick walled stainless and look pretty good, its really easy to make a bracket from the manifold turbo flange to the head. Theres a hole in the head thats positioned perfectly. Its really simple but effective at supporting the significant mass of the turbo etc.

In the picture of the turbo, you can just see the black bracket behind the earls fitting on the engine side of the turbo. I just tapped some threads into the T4 manifold flange and used a 12mm bolt to secure the bracket to the head

Also, i got all my hot bits ceramic coated and, although expensive i think its worth the added thermal effeciency. I also wrapped my dump pipe and wastegate pipe. You can touch it when its running!

Any reason you didnt go with the 44mm wastegate?

I will be wrapping the dump pipe for sure.How much did you get charged for the coatings?

I bought the turbo gate and manifold in a package.The 38mm will be up to the task though.

Wow that looks nice.Is that two pipe joining into one at the wastegate?

Thats a very nice setup man, I look forward to seeing how it comes out. Its basically what I'd like mine to end up being like - capable of a LOT of very useable power.

Thanks.I will be tuning it for 22-24psi.I havent seen many 3037s make well into the 300s.So we will see how it goes.

hey dave good luck with everything!

Just a thought, a lot of guys building tough 26's use basically all goo except for the head gasket...food for thought

and a big congrats on the 740s, was very very easy to tune with on mine compared to the sards on the r34. I have the tomei/nismo pump too and all seems ok so think your fine for fuel for a while.

Z32 AFM is fine too, but you could always go haltech instead of powerfc, makes the plumbing a lot easier anyway i wish i had

maybe we trial fit my rips plenum while your motors out too. then i can finally decide wether to sell it or not

Bring the plenum around and we will have a look.

mine made 314rwkw at 19psi, 0.63 rear and Water meth injection.

With cams, 0.82 rear, and a fresh engine, and 22psi, you'll shit it in.

Also, my powercurve looked like a V8's.

I think the manifold was about $220 + $80 for the dump. I got these done at competition coatings in sydney, but i sent the turbine housing down to HPC in Melbourne because i heard that they were the best. This cost about $220.

The wastegate comes from the collector via two pipes and then into one.

Cheers.

    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • 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.
