yeh thats our car...my old man discovered sau and is slowly learning about online forums lol....so he has been doing his own thing on here. Hopefully in a few weeks we will have a new motor that will hold together! But in the long ass wait for the machining to happen we have been working on a few other things to hopefully make the car abit quicker/reliable/tidier and more fun to drive.

Very nice setup Darren ;)

The beast should be fun on the track.

We should put a SAU GTR team into the Queensland 500 Team Enduro at QR. It should be fun :laugh:

Hey mate will definatly be keen on putting together a taem for the QLD 500 I would say Mark and Russ would be more than interested aswell. Would be a great event and I think a team of GTR's would do really well in that event. I will be catching up with Russ this weekend sometime so will gee him up and will have a chat to you about at the next track day.

How have you found the scavenger from the rear of the head??

Im using -12 scavnegers and a -10 from the rear of the head.

I was concerned about the feed not getting enough oil at lower speeds and damaging the pump so ive left the oil restrictor out for the time being.

Curious to know your thoughts??

Not had any problems with the scavage of the head as the pump does not need a great deal of oil in the scavage stages to keep it properly lubricated. Have run the same dry sump set up on another car that i have built that has done quite a few klm's now and works a treat. With a dry sump set up you should not need to run a oil restrictor in the block so you should not have any problems.

The wiring is for the motec is around 3/4 done at the moment should be done by the end of the week or early next week and then will be getting a tune so should have some results by then providing no little hicups pop up.

Hey guys a quick update. Had a few little issues with the car wich i should now be on top of. Unfortunatley though i have been unable to dedicate much time to the car over the last few months due to work commitments the ecu install is done and have performed some cold start and light throttle tuning. I will hopefully get the time to get the full power tune done early in january as my tuner is back on th 12th so i will be trying to get the car booked in first cab of the rank.so will hopefully have a some results to post up before to long.

Angus the fuel pumps are working without any problems though this has only been during light load running in.

Bosch pumps are always a little noisy but this seems fairly unavoidable.

Though I have run the same fuel system in another GTR that i have built that has done some serious track time without any problems. The fuel temp does not seem to be a problem but if you do have any heat issues with your fuel i would recomend checking your fuel reg as I have had some drama with fuel temps while running sard regs as they seem to restrictive for high hp aplications once changed to a larger free flowing reg the fuel temp issues were no longer a problem. Hope that helps Daz.

Hey all just a quick update. Have had a few headaches with the car got it on the dyno and did all the light throttle and cold start and then started to give it a few power runs.

This is when the drama started to unfold with 1bar of boost as soon as it would get to 5k rpm it would start to push coolant out of the radiator but the car never ran hot. So off the dyno it came to get to the bottom of the problem. It had built up so much pressure in the cooling system that it had started to baloon the end tank of the radiator. so pulled the engine out and stripped it down. Had the head crack tested all ok deck of block dead straight. I could see slight indication that the head gasket had lifted. After a bit of head scratching finally found the problem was a faulty thermostat it was opening enough to circulate thru the cooling system at lower rpm but causing a major restriction as soon as rpm was lifted. This would have contributed to creating a weak spot in the gasket allowing combustion pressure to finnish the job. a bit odd thou as I would have thought that the pump would have cavitated or radiator hoses would have let go first ( they were balloning and makeing an attempt to let go but somehow managed to hold on). Car is now back together and all seems fine have had it on the dyno breifly and have driven it for a few klm's to check coolong system is operating as it should be. and all seems good.

Now just waiting on my tuner to get back from dubai / shrilanka to finnish off the tune so finger crossed i will have some results within a few weeks. Have also purchased some new suspension components for the car so will post up some pics soon.

Bloody heck that's some rotten luck Darren! Difficult problem to isolate too.

Regarding the hoses not popping first, funnily I've also experienced a similar thing many years ago as a young fool. I was doing many many donuts on the mudflats in a KF turbo 4WD Laser until it was really cooking, and instead of popping a hose or gasket the radiator tanks burst right off it.... big bang!

Glad you found the issue and you can move on mate :P

Car looks great mate!

A lot further along than mine, but I'll catch up eventually :)

Great work, and I can't wait to see more updates! Shouldn't be long before we see this beast terrorising unsuspecting Porsches on the track :(

Thanks guys is coming along but as we all know these things always take longer than expected especially when you run into drama's along the way

That is the plan. I have all the confidence in the world that the car will be more than capable will just have to see about the driver though in saying that there seems to be a lot of accountants and companu ceo's driving porkers that would definatly fit into the same catagory.

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
