Then i got all the GTR front end conversion panels back from paint and fitted them up. Surprising how much more aggressive it now looks in the front end.

There has also been a few parts changes too. The T51 is out, decided to go with something a bit newer and sold it in favour of an 80mm MTA turbo which will be similar is sizing etc as a GTX42r.

ECU also has been purchased. THe new EMTRON KV8, this ECU is a serious piece of gear and cant wait to see it in action

Fabrication work well and truly underway with custom made CRG Manifold along with dump pipe and plumbed gate.

Note you can see where the gate will be mounted off the rear housing for better boost control.

very very snug fit with the strut and the turbo :P

absolute best build i've read so far. keep it up mate, you're an inspitation to others!

Thanks Dan!

Its getting there, still a long way to go before its finished. All the fab work should be finished by weeks end and then a few more things to go on then off for some wiring

looks awesome Scotty

So much hard work and coin poured into this

Once it's all done......well I think you already know you will need an extra pair of undies

Keep up the hard and good work Scotty

Definitely taken a lot of coin thats for sure Ants, but will be worth it in the end. Cant wait to see the fab work complete and the bay put back together then it will look like real progress!

Build progress is getting there. Lots of little things have been knocked over in the start of 2016 and the setup is almost ready for wiring.

  • New Fuel Rail
  • Revamp Fuel Setup. Braided line all the way through from surge tank to rail and then returned via the FPR that is now mounted under the car by the gearbox
  • Tailshaft & Shifter installed
  • New PWR trans cooler fitted and hooked up with new braided line
  • All sensors installed ready for wiring up to the Emtron KV 8 ECU. Sensors include (Oil pressure, coolant pressure, trans fluid pressure, fuel pressure, 5bar map sensor, 2x knock sensors, 3x temp sensors (coolant, oi & tran fluid), air temp sensors post turbo & inlet & 6 x EGT's)

Now photo dump....

Thought I'd post a refresher up of the coilpack setup Ive decided to run with this car.

After speaking with serveral other mid to high RB powered guys we decided that your standard Splitfire'swhere probably going to run out of puff and start causing issues. LS1 Coils were an obvious and well tried option, however i wanted something that was a little different and would also git inside the valley cover to keep as neat a look to the engine bay as possible.

Enter the LS2 Truck Coil

Whilst these arent a direct fit/replacement they can me made to work. To make these fit under the vallet cover, I've shaved about 10-15mm off the bottom of the coil to help it sit lower onto the plug. Ive then used the spring out of a stock set of RB coilpacks and attached it inside the LS2 Coil. To help with mounting them onto the plug Ive used the coilpack boot from a set of 1JZ coilpacks (Red Silcone Boot). Ive tried to show the layout as best i can in the below photo.

Last but not least, Ive had a customer mounting bracket made up to help keep them secure in place. Overall i think its turned out really well and everything is still easily accessible

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
