Ha ha. All done!!!! YAY!!!

Finished off all the little crappy stuff in the engine bay and under the car then at 4:30pm finally ran it on the starter to get oil flowing. Could hear every cylinder, nice.

Then started it for real, fired into life after 3 seconds : )

Drove to the servo and loaded it up on the way there and back, with the waste gates free so no boost to help bed in rings.

Came back, dropped the oil and put more mineral oil in and changed filter and hooked waste gate rods back up. Went for another drive, nice! Good to be driving her again.

Only problem may be that I need a new idle control valve :( as the engine revs (flares) by itself continuously at idle.

Sounds throatier than before too.

Cheers

Thanks :(. In the end I think I owe myself 5K+ lol. Great experience, and knowing the fact you built it yourself!

Well, on the stock bottom end it was putting out 350RWKW on 17psi. So I'd be happy with the same amount (read 500hp atw). Mainly due to he stock gearbox, and I built it to handle the power reliably without worrying about what the bottom end is like.

Went for a drive tonight, and it's really smooth and sounds gutsy lol. I'm only taking it to 4500 to 5000 at the moment at part throttle. Put 110k on it lol.

I'll book it in for a tune once it's got some kays under the belt........we'll see.

great work sean!

looks nice. and i love ur display pic. car looks smooooth as!

cant wait to see the dyno results. sounds promising!

Cheers. They really like taking your money lol.

Unplug it. Need to meet up for a cruz soon when i get my car back.

I'll try it out Brad. I also need to make another dummy load for the hicas solenoid I pulled out of the engine bay to stop the computer thinking theres a fault.

Cruise, for sure. I'll do the Putty cruise in October now :banana:.

Damn Sean, very nice and very fast work - fkn great effort!!

going to bug you for a ride in it soon if i get a night out i'll bring the SLR and take some shots!

Thanks Chris. The engine covers you did for me look awsome with the polished stuff so kudos to you. When we get a chance (read time off from busy schedule) for sure.

unreal sean. ive booked the gtr in for tune weekend after the long weekend at uni group. so will all have to go for cruise very soon. i just need front bumper now!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm glad it's done. Now done over 200k, and it's smooth as. Will be great when you get yours tuned.

I'd also like to thank everyone who gave some advice and imput on how to go about doing this project. 3 months seemed forever to me but it was pretty quick in the end.

Okay! Put 1200km on it so far, changed oil and filter again at 1000k and check up and tune on dyno is booked for tomorrow morning (only good thing about shift work lol). Gonna check a/f ratios etc, to make sure it's happy when I use the upper end of the rev range :P .

It has a pretty beaty, cammy idle, only using 12psi to be safe lol. I guess I'll have to check nuts and bolts are tight too etc. Twin plate clutch is great compared to the triple I had for the street.

Also the engine has no slap or rattles when started and warming up. Engine builder I took the block and pistons to, recommended running piston to bore clearance at 3.5thou so I'm happy.

Congratulation Sean..

Amazing how quick the build was done mate specially with work space..

Looking forward to updates.

Cheers :(

Okay, got it dynoed and cleaned up this morning. Found a couple of things. The fuel reg might need changing as it's a bit sus when revs are high at full load, more fuel was added to compensate but not too bad as it's on min 11 PSI boost anyway. Ordered in one from nissan. It idles at 1400RPM, idle control valve is letting too much air through(o ring inside is non existant), and I cleaned the throttles :D even though I read a topic about not to do that years ago!! It takes the sealing coating off the inside of the butterfly to bore seal.

Other than that, all good and since cam timing is sweet the gaph is great. It'll go back to the dyno in 2000km to get a high boost tune lol.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
