The circlip on the gearbox is back on so no more suprises. The interior is still a mess (no back seat, no headunit ect)

Did an oil change yesterday but i have not driven it much due to this damn heat wave. Ill be sorting out all the little bits when it starts to cool down.

Catch can lines need to be made, interior ect ect.

I will be out at Harry's tonight for sure at around 930ish.

Took it out for a little spin after the oil change. Im not sure if i have mentioned but im running off wastegate pressure which is 10psi. The decision to get the wastegate plumbed into the turbo housing was a great idea. Hits 10psi and stays there!

Revved it out a bit on the drive this time to about 6000rpm. Even at 10psi the thing pulls hard from 4000rpm and sound great. I estimate power to be around the 250rwkw mark.

So with E85 and 24psi tuned in two weeks who knows what it will be :laugh:

thought i saw you driving today.. now i think maybe i did. passed a white skyline on campbelltown road or something going the other way and had nice expertly installed tail lights so i thought it might be you lol

good work dave!

-and nobody knock cars that choof, mine choof's like a champ. And harden up. I havent had A/c since i bought the thing lol

Nice - its still running with the GT3076R?

Im not sure if it was my imagination but after i dumped the crappy mineral oil and put in the Motul Chrono 300V, the engine felt very different.

Smoother revving,a gain in response and the turbo spooled quicker. And the way the engine pulled was like i had dropped about 50kg out of the cars weight. Noticing this especially when pulling away from lights at low engine speeds.

I guess the reduced friction in the engine is the reason for this?

Not your imagination man, definetely a difference between most oils and the 300V, its something you can actually feel. Great shit, hence why i praise it so much.

hey NYTSKY.

awsome write up, even though its not my build im quite excited for you.

i had a question about your slotted turbo.

does it really make the t51r sound? because from wat i remember the t51r isnt slotted :D

but im a major fan of the t51r but i cant justify the lag it comes with.

was hoping you had a sample sound clip or something?

how much did it end up costing you to slot the cover?

im currently running a bit larger then you (gt35r) and ive been thiking about slotting the turbo for a while now.

would you recommend it?

T51Rs definitely have anti-surge slots, they just have a little bellmouth thing over the inlet that has a gap to allow flow from the slots but covers the slots mostly from view. I can't view youtube at work though am pretty sure this clip shows what mine sounds like with the exact same turbo as NYTSKY's. Real GT3076Rs come with the slots.

Not tru, I bought a Genuine Garret GT3076R and the front cover wasn't slotted.

most of (if not all) the real 3076's come with the antisurge slots. just finished installing myne a few weeks ago, needs a tune but sounds cool

    • 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.
