How stupid of me, I didn't even think of DC pumps haha

when are you going to buy yours?

Will you hook it up on full time operation or a toggle?

Thermo fan on the heat exchanger or are you going to do the tap into the radiator setup?

I'll get all mine together after the SAU wakie day.

Going to run the pump off the ign switch, and yeah a thermo fan on the heat exchanger which will sit where the current intercooler is...ive also got a 10L water/ice box in the boot, so i'll fill it with ice cubes for short sprints, and the extra water will help keep temps down for longer runs.

Edit: Just thinking that i may even mount the heat exchanger directly in front of the radiator (under the support panel)

Will do.

Well after much thought last night about the dirty 30 build, I decided that it will indeed get a RB26 head, after talking to a few places about getting the damage on my 25 head fixed it would be cheaper and easier to just throw a good GTR one on.

It will probably run twin 2860-5's or -10s if im feeling adventurous, but if funds allow I may go a twin-scroll T04Z or Gt4088, but I could build a spare bottom end for the same dollars.

So if anyone see's cheap 26 parts (manifolds etc) please let me know :)

On the flip side of that, I could just buy a complete 26 and give it a quick freshen up (rings and bearings, crank collar etc) and run with that.

Please help me choose, I know the 30 will make a shed load more low end grunt but 26's rev a lot better.

argh! I cant choose lol

that's alright...I should've asked our IT guy at work when he was here.

I havent look at the Plazmamann ones yet....but im a cheap ass so i probably wont lol

you mean alex? i dont think he would have one kicking about in his car.

do you have a picture of the serial cable you need? 9 pin male to female? male to male? 9 pin to some random connector?

Lol how do you know Alex?

I ended up getting one off ebay.

Not true, my 30 matches the previous 26 rev for rev.

26 used to go to 8000rpm most days, the 30 has a soft limited at 9000 and the way I drive it, it gets up there!

Don't go -10's though, it's too much power for a gtst. When you're racing would you rather wheelspon and heaps of power or a smaller amount but a linear curve of usable power? Also given that Wakefield is probably where the car will do most work, get turbos to match there-nothing would suck more than having a monster sized setup around the hook section that needs the back straight to get some boost up.

The supra guys that do track work are moving away from the 4088's and to4z's for large 35r's and some towards precision billets.

I'd suggest a 3L with rods and pistons, 26 head with tomei 260 cams and dash5's would be a real weapon

Tyre smoke gets teh biartches though lol.

I think you are right about the -10s and RWD though.

Come over and ill take you for a ride in my r32, that will make sure you dont buy similar setup for a rwd car

The tyres on the front are new (with cast tabs), the rears are showing about an inch of belt per side, and ive seriously been easy on it.

What are you doing for brakes?

haha...I'll hit you up next time im up that way.

As for brakes, Im not 100% sure yet, I've been thinking about Wilwood 6-pot forged superlights and 330-340mm rotors (I cant remember what the calipers will swallow. But that will all be sorted out later on, depending on how the standard stuff holds up...my bet is not to well...but we will see...if I hit the tyre wall on the outside of turn 2 at wakie than ill know ill need better brakes :)

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
