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

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
