Car Finially On The Road Again

[Guest INASNT]

After over a month of my car sitting at ice with problem after problem i finially get to drive it again, YAY!!!

The 550cc sard injectors, 044 pump, z32 afm, Power Fc, Greedy Profec B Spec 2, 9 Puck Cermaic clutch with 1200kg pressure plate, Lightened 4.5kg Chromemolly flywheel, Pineapples and Adj HKS Cam gear are all in and had a light tune with the Power Fc and got around 185rwkw@12psi .

The new custom made 3037S with 45mm external wastegate and custom high mount exhaust manifold are going on in the next few weeks. Same guy making my turbo as who made leewahs.

First with the exhaust cam gear set at -2.7 degrees, the profec b spec 2 setup properly with the pfc tune and lightened flywheel I am getting 12psi by 2000rpm!!!. Secondly the new clutch is farking heavy as and the friction point is mm off the the floor which means i have to rev to about 1500rpm before i can take off or else it stalls, so if i take off at 1500rpm, 500rpm later i have the full 12psi boost kick in. Not fun at all in the wet as I come off the clutch at the lights with the wheels already spinning before i even start to move. Should be more drivable when the new turbo setup goes on.

I recommend the lighhened flywheel to anyone as even tho i got the same peak rwkw as before with the ligtened flywheel and pfc tune it accelerates just so much faster and i got soooo much more midrange power now than before.

Will keep updated when new turbo setup finially goes on.

Excelent, my car just got dynoed before yours on Saturday. I was going to ask you, how much you rwkw you got.

[predator]

nice..nice! that 3037 might just stretch those internals a bit too much though I have a feeling..

u should take it to Calder before they put the new turbs on...

Pity I have given up the mod-chase with mine anymore... my next project I have in mind however should give u a nice little run in those tropics I'll only need about 230-240rwkw to match you too..

Clutch will wear in and be nice .. at first they're a bitch... the last owner of mine changed it recently before he sold it. For the first couple of months was a pig to start, esp in the wet! it was either stall or spin stupidly..but it sorted itself out.

good work man cant wait to see when its all done with new turbo

[Grim]

very nice Denham....sounds like a great setup!!

Are you running just an exhaust cam gear? Is that the main thing helping boost come on so quickly?

I been driving around automatic hire cars the last few month so any clutch at the moment would be hard i guess.

The 3037 i am getting will be

Comp

56 trim/57.0 Inducer / 76.2 Major. Hosing - 0.6 A/R

Turbine

Wheel 84 Trim - 60 major /55 Exducer

Housing 0.87 A/R

What power did your car make?

Gordo

I hope it looses a bit of its bite. And yes we should try go to Calder again but i am flying back to cairns on wednesday morning and returning friday morning. Fark i been over in cairns more in the last 3 months than been in melbourne, and the roads up ther west of cairns about 200km are just dead straight for about 5 km's in stages, its so tempting to just go full throttle.

As for the internals i have already scoped prices on weisco forged piston/rings and rods, mild ported head work, 1.6mm HKS head gasket and 260 duration intake/ext Tomei cams. They cost a bit but not 2 unreasonable.

Grim

U cant change the intake side with cam gears as then u will loose the nivac. I should be able to retard the timing to about -4 once the new turbo is setup and a bit more time is spent tuning the pfc. The exhaust cam gear, profec b and the pfc tune helped i recon the boost to come on so low plus its a series 2 so it uses the so called plastic comp wheel.

[Grim]

Denham....are you working your car up for the track or the drag strip? How many times have you had it on the track or run it at the strip?

[Guest INASNT]

Some pics of my turbo being made.

Guys making the housing

Most prob drag strip, as not much track action goes on here in mel

Pic of the casing, u think there will be much lag??

[Grim]

pfffft puny! hehehe

WTF is that ??

The inducer being machined

[Grim]

have you had yer car on the drag strip before? what times have you done before all this work on it?

[Guest INASNT]

Grim

had the car twice on drag strip, last time with just s-afc i got 14.2@98mph. I am aiming for a 11 on a set of nittos

[Grim]

11 damn that's quick.

the so called plastic comp wheel.

We got 178rwkw peak, didnt want anymore plus the stock cooler was heating up, last run was 172rwkw with a little less boost. This was during SAFC tuning.

Feels so much better

Hey Denham,

Seems like the guy working on your turbo does look like the same guy who did mine Good work on it all mate. Your car almost became part of the furniture mate. Pity you didn't have a huge spoiler, I wanted somewhere to put my Maccas the other day

I got Nittos if you wanna buy some.
