what exhaust housing did you pick and why?

I didnt realise that this was an interview... I will post the turbo specs soon.

Bump also wondering if your using the stock exhaust manifold?

Yes I am using the standard manifold.

What star sign are you?

Do you like long walks on the beach and candle lit dinners?

Do you make love on a bed of frangipanis?

  • 1 month later...

Update:

Parts have arrived and I have spent quite a few days in the garage putting them all in :)

I love reading this on the side of the box (usually means there is something nice and shiny inside).

Genuine Nissan water pump (had too many problems in the past with inferior water pumps).

Gearbox and tailshaft ready to go back in... (Note the "custom" crossmember).

Front of the motor - Naked! :)

New water pump installed.

Wastegate actuator mount and connector pin had to be modified to get them into the right position.

All parts now installed, the next step is to make up a custom intake pipe for the turbo, replace all oils and fluids and then a dyno tune!

More pics to come (sorry Michele, still no Frangipani stickers) :P

Stay tuned.

Im hoping to have it running in the next 2 weeks, but it wont be driving on the road until its tuned and I have had a few other "goodies" installed :P

It should all be finished by the end of this month... Fingers crossed :P

    • Time will tell, they're doing all the admin stuff at the moment. I've submitted all the required details, photos, etc.   I was under the impression that DC coupling is the best approach, i.e.: Solar Array -> Battery Invertor -> Battery  Where as AC Coupling is simpler, however less efficient, i.e.: Solar Array -> Solar Invertor -> Battery Invertor -> Battery
    • The price is really great for that kind of capacity. I thought similar setups cost way more. How's your efficiency been with the DC-coupling? I've heard sometimes there can be a bit of a performance loss.
    • Long time no random post about shit. So I went down this deep deep rabbit hole of battery storage for the home, ended up locking in a 41.9kWh Fox ESS EQ4800 with 9 units stacked. Battery uses Lithium Iron Phosphate, similar to what you find in those deep cycle boat/caravan batteries. And yes, why did I go with a cheapie brand and not like Synergy? simply because I don't plan to stay at this house for more than another 3~5 years.  The entire install, DC coupling (removal of existing invertor, connecting the current 6.6kW array direct to the battery invertor), new 8kW invertor is $6K all up (after all the rebates etc.). Going with this lot: https://www.aussiesolarbatteries.com.au/ It did seem a bit too good to be true, however seems like the Whirlpool community has vetted it and when it comes to this kind of stuff, they seem to be all over it: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/9pxj8482?p=38   I've requested for the battery to be installed outside, next to my meter board and not inside - rather have it combust and ignite outside lol.    
    • In Vic it would be a defect regardless of whether or not you cut a hole in the sheetmetal for the return pipe. The rules in Vic are shitful, and are generally interpreted as you can "make 2 mods to the intake system". Putting an FFP and an FMI onto it will almost certainly be seen as some huge number of intake mods. You really need to speak to an engineer before doing this stuff in VIC.
    • planning a r34 rb25 de+t with some other work, rather just have it done in a shop due to space limitations any recommendations? I have most the parts already I seen online Moore Performance and DR Drift any advice appreciated thanks
