and to the person thinking of going z32 ecu nistune - i think change your ecu plans, FC or Link plugin. Nistune is great, and i highly recommend it... but for 33 owners, there are better options.

Theres always better options for anycar, but at what cost. There is no way to compete against the price of a Nistune.

U need to upgrade ur fuel system on most setups. So that cost is accounted for in both fuels. Plus using the gas analogy it is way better for saving money as the savings pay off the capital cost. And once that's done its pure savings

FC? that's cheap. How much is a Z32 Nistune setup? must be pretty close $ wise to a second hand FC?

They go for about $550 or so. Most places seem to do a drive in drive out install and tune package for $1100 which is about the cost of a second hand fc with a hand controller.

I reckon about 270kw, but I think bigger injectors would be a wise investment long term and to give you some safety. Im not sure if you're walbro is up to the task or not though to be honest. Just get a bigger one anyway so you dont have to worry about it and that way when you want a bigger turbo you wont need to update again!

Im not going to go the e85 route til theres more places in canberra that sell it...

You know there's a United with E85 at the top Old Bathurst Rd in East Blaxland now? That's only 6 or 7km out of Penrith

Surely the 'Riff will get one soon.

i didn't know this ... but this has me right on the verge of maybe doing it ... I'm up there 3 times a week for soccer anyway .... excitement!!!

It changed hands about a month ago & has 100 octane Premium and E85. ;)

Thanks mate... it will look even better once its all finished..

Ive spent a fair bit on ceramic coating and anodizing.... about $1000 all up lol but its so addictive.

I think the turbo was about $200-$300 for the front and rear... I did the back black and the front gold, but there is a heap of different colors, the chrome stuff looks mad.

I got it also to control heat, apparently should reduce engine bay temps by up to 50% but I did it mainly to stop things melting if they got too close to the exhaust.

Wow this is interesting.

Anyone know anything else on this

Such as proven results in reducing heat sink and allowing for bigger power gains?

Pretty sure that's the basic theory behind ceramic coating? It keeps more heat in the exhaust, more heat = more energy. Obviously keeping the energy in the system is better than having it dissipate out into the engine bay.

keeping heat inside the exhaust housing is a good thing, and coating the comp housing would probably effect very little so its all good.

very nice looking setup :)

    • Any recommendations on a decent replacement manifold that doesnt break the bank or require additional mods for the stock turbo setup? I figure if I'm going to pull the manifold off anyway to fix the studs might as well replace it. 
    • So I checked the turbo out today. Very minimum play at all just enough for the oil to take up when it's running. I did find an exhaust leak at the manifold. 1 stud all the way in the front is missing and the one all the way in the back is broken off. Front has visible signs of an exhaust leak. I'll fix that soon but that's not my problem still.  I also found that the nipple coming off the turbo had the hose capped off and a hose ran from the j-pipe by the bov going to the wastegate. I removed that hose and capped that nipple and put the turbo nipple hose back on the wastegate.  There was a ton of oil residue all through the charge side of the intercooler piping going to the throttle bodg. I'm thinking that's from the pcv. Doesn't seem to be coming from the turbo that was all clean on the pipes side.  Haven't had a chance to check fuel pressure yet, haven't had time been having to pull a lot of doubles at work. I did pick up some carb cleaner to clean the iacv but wanted to make sure I had a fresh gasket in case the old one rips when I pull it off.  I'm waiting on a MAF that was supposed to be here today but delayed to Monday. Have a double Monday and Friday and work all of next weekend so going to try to find some time in the middle of the week to try that out. Did about a 10m trip around the block today and towards the end the issues were coming back. Fingers crossed on this MAF but if not just going to throw a fuel pressure gauge in and see where I'm at.  Did notice today that I can definitely hear the injectors pulsing. Very audible clicking coming from them. Assuming that's normal? Should also mean CAS is functioning somewhat properly. After it warmed up when I started it the intermittent misfires came in again. Did start doing that before it was fully warmed up. 
    • This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.
