Any progress? Curious to see how this thing goes in a rwd platform

Sump is at fabricators for enlargement. He has yet to quote for the cost of it so until he does and Simon gives the nod it wont be finished. If i get a call today it should be in his possesion within a week. Sump will be around 8.5 litre capacity in total.

Whats the latest here?

Sump is finished...will pick up from fabricators tomm.

sump on and then send...yahoo!!

this engine with the right turbo/s will easily produce over 1000hp with around 30psi of boost.

Will be fun in a RWD platform!

What power figure are you chasing with it?

well considering the ex housing and the internals of this engine iam hoping to see about 620rwhp on 23-24psi if all goes to plan if i can get upto 650 would be nice but its still gonna be a handfull to drive considering it will be on full boost by at least 4500 and rev all the way through to 9000 or whereever the power begins to drop off i guess. considering a larger housing at this point but i still wanna keep a lil bit of the response factor there.

will have the motor in my hot lil hands 2moro afta noon and then locked safely up inside my house till i organise everything else that needs to go in the car lol. its been a long time coming but hopefully ill have an almost bulletproof reliable engine at the end of it. im known for being hard on parts so this will be interesting i guess.... ill post up sum pics of the engine once ive got it and have started putting bits onto it etc.

    • Need to see other side of PCB in that area...ie; I don't see any thru-hole mounting, just soldered vias (smd zeners in SOT23 have 3 legs but only 2 are used, as reflected by PCB tracks)
    • 4 to 5 is fine. It will be slow, but that's better than blowing turbos. I don't have a PS pump idle up solenoid on my car, because... I think when we put the Neo in we retained my R32 lines. But.... From inspecton of the R34 vacuum hose diagram, you can see that the solenoid needs to be connected to the turbo inlet as source of clean air) and the plenum (as source of vacuum - which is the place for the air to flow to to cause the idle to increase). So 3 to 1 is VERY WRONG. 3 should go to either the turbo inlet, or the plenum. Follow the other hose from the PS solenoid and if it goes to the plenum, then your 3 goes to 2 2 would also serve as a bleed port for a boost solenoid.
    • Pull them out and pull more apart. You can't do shit with them still bolted to the floor of the car.
    • Yes it is. ZD1 is on the other side of the board. Where ZD1 is marked is clearly opposite a 2 pin device. Our 3 pin device here is not a ZD.
    • Alright, a little update on this... I called Fulcrum, who used to be the distributor in Australia. No Bueno, they don't service them anymore.  Called shock works, who don't service them but offered to dyno the shocks for performance, and suggested DNA in Sydney might service them.  Called DNA, who also do not service them and basically said they try to steer customers away from tein for this exact reason these days- there is just no support for them anymore apparently.  Both SW and DNA said they are a not necessarily a bad product, but they just don't service the brand or know anyone who does service the brand anymore.  So... I could keep calling around but at this point I think I'll probably just spring for the shockworks product, unless anyone here knows anything.  Cheers 🍻
