Cj's Engine Build

[-_-StRyDeR-_-]

yeh, everyone hears up and down reports on every single workshop, its just natural, but they have done everything right by me, even went and picked up the car for me (2hrs away).

ill run it in then go back and get the next lot of goodies, probably buy tess's old car also, and get the body work ready for the motor to be thrown into.

[Lucy The Skyline]

Wait Tess is selling her car? I thought it was mostly gone already and it was just the short motor left to be sold

[NITTO R34]

We can't wait to get it off its run-in-tune CJ!! And, the E85 tune

Extremely responsive set-up with the 30 bottom end & 35R, we're very happy with how it turned out!

Tess's 32 is still here, it's a complete rolling shell

[GTScotT]

Very nice!

Love the 3L + 35R combo

Keep up the good work champ!

[-_-StRyDeR-_-]

[migs]

nice build

[-_-StRyDeR-_-]

thanks, tryin to get some proper km's on the engine is a pain right now as we have had constant rain/wet roads. cant load the motor up at all!

[-_-StRyDeR-_-]

Run in tune dyno sheet.

going to hookup the boost controller and tune it properly tomorrow. also now running federal 595 RSR's all around.

hope to bring on boost earlier and rev it some more! o and hopfully another 100hp lol.

[-_-StRyDeR-_-]

well i got big clutch slip.... so couldnt do the power tune, pulling the new jim berry clutch out over the next few days...

[DVS JEZ]

too much torque for the clutch?

did you use the federal RSR's on the dyno this time?

[-_-StRyDeR-_-]

not sure whats wrong with the clutch, the car didnt even make it onto the dyno, it hasnt even seen 500km's i dont think. nor has it seen any abusive driving.

the gold coast has been in wet weather for the last 2 weeks so iv hardly been able to put any load on the car anyway, so the tyres are acually more slippery then the old nagnkangs i had on there....

dont know whats gone on.... but feeling pretty annoyed... will post photos of the clutch when we get it out.

[-_-StRyDeR-_-]

ok so a few months later... New twin plate in the car, little harder to drive then the Jim Berry but feels good at the moment.

car is sitting on about 490atwhp, just finished driving it from the gold coast to melbourne and back again, EVERY tank of fuel i filled up at 420-440km and the fuel light wasnt on yet... so fairly decent fuel economy for the power it has...

Did a bit of a highway squirt and lost oil pressure at about 7,000rpm in 5th gear... light came on just as i grabed the key to shut it off, just as i went to turn the key pressure came right back up to normal, scared the hell out of me, so now getting rid of the N1 oil pump and putting a ASR 8.5L sump in there with a Nitto oil pump (purely for peice of mind).

also doing a E85 tune and hoping to get close to that 600hp goal i originally wanted, will be a stretch out of the baby 3540 turbo with .86rear...

CJ

ps... anyone on the goldcoast brisbane area own a supersnake mustang 2009+ or a 2010+ srt8??

[mattis96]

lol, a bit of a squirt in 5th at 7000rpm hey

[DVS JEZ]

Lol bit of a squirt? Cough 220+

Fill ur sump up another 1L. If u havent already.

[N1GTR]

GC to Melb and back again - thats a damn long way! Was there any point to that? Cheaper by miles to just fly

[riley]

forgot to mention the fuel side of things...

Twin feed rail

880cc injectors

040 Lift pump

2.5L Surge Tank

2x 044 pumps mounted to the surge tank.

what is that piece in the boot and why do u need it if u don't mind me asking?

[Mark-32]

What was the story with the full monty clutch?

[-_-StRyDeR-_-]

Dont ask about the clutch. end of story.

bit of a squirt yes... umm...on track of course.

reason for the road trip...i always wanted to drive my car along the great ocean road... just once, was a great experience but now that it is done i wont be driving that car down there again.

DVS32R - Also tried Filling the Sump up an extra 1L of oil...didnt work.

Riley - because iv gone for a new turbo and E85tune, which was always the plan, so i just had it all ready for when these come along.

ya im just trying to learn/get ideas so i dont even know what that piece in the boot is, i thought it was an external fuel pump. not sure

[-_-StRyDeR-_-]

Yeh its 2x 044 fuel pumps with a 2.5L surge tank.

car just pushed out 630rwhp using the new GTX turbo on e85, still the 35series with a .86rear on it, 27psi.

think thats the max the little .86 rear can do, as we tried 2-3psi more and didnt gain anymore power.

still...630rwhp is a great effort for the baby turbo! big thanks to the guys at mercury!
