Kel's Super Turbo Super Build

Alright so I can hear the laughing from here already :P

But after only a day of driving it (which included a few lazy laps of Oran Park in the wet) I’ve decided my new March is a seriously awesome car.

Super charged & turbo charged + 780 kilo weight= ultimate sleeper!

Not to mention the 930cc engine x turbo calculation means it will one day make a sneakily competitive under 1600/ 2L Grid IPRA car :(

So here are the current details for my new (old school) 1989 Nissan March K10 Super Turbo:

  • Sequential compound charged (supercharger plus turbocharger) engine in an all-alloy straight-4 930cc 8-valve 4 cylinder Nissan MA MA09ERT
  • 5-speed manual gearbox with viscous limited slip diff – torque steer a fun and free inclusion :rofl:
  • Revs to 8 grand from factory :rofl:

Standard car produces a whopping 81 kW at 6400 rpm. Not sure what factory boost is but mine’s running 15psi. Seems to be a little rich on boost so a tune to come shortly, along with a spell on the dyno.

Factory performance figures are a little more impressive than its killerwasps :rofl:

7.7 seconds for 0 to 100 and 15.5 seconds to run a quarter mile.

Top speed of 180 km/h. Added feature: annoying Jap speed alarm also chimes in inconveniently from the back straight at Oran right through to the braking mark at the end of the main straight :rofl:

Mods to the Kel K10 (thanks to previous owner) include:

  • Front mount intercooler
  • HKS zorst
  • Bigger (though maybe not big enough or better?) brakes from a Pulsar- jury is out on them until tyres are sorted

More mods to come (maybe) when we get the engineering papers next week.

Rumor has it there are only 20 in Australia – luckily there are plenty of spare parts in the UK only the cost of air freight away.

Failing that some other Neesan parts fit ok apparently.

If memory serves me right it’s one of only two cars produced to date which has both a turbo and a super charger? In good company with the Lancia Delta Integra (the rare car which Pete famously almost dented/ destroyed in his slightly drunken (!) second story balcony fall from a hotel in Goulburn during Dutton 2003).

The progress on this will be slow-ish but first call will be better offset wheels or rolled guards so we can get a better idea of how the car actually drives on the track… much damage done in some corners today ;)

Pics to follow when the crap weather in Sydney clears up long enough to take some decent pics.

But here is one of the Mighty March Super Turbo from Oran Park today. I'm sure this pics was taken on my sighting lap- too quick for the camera to catch this 930cc beast otherwise ;)

The car is also a star already- here's a vid the previous owner made ;)

Saw the beast in person yesterday - it is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unfort didnt get to see it run, hope it went well Kel!

And IPRA on the cards???

(Kel - the build/projects section gets moderated first, it needs to be approved so once you posted, it wont show it!

The VW polo GT has both turbo and supercharger too!)

thanks Paul...they aren't exactly common either, we could only find one for sale in aus.

heres a vid of Baz's superturbo on a track day in ireland....heaps of traffic but it goes OK. makes about 100fwkw with a highflow. still 700kg so power/weight about the same as a gtst with much better mid corner speed.

happy to swap a drive in the super turbo for all the super beer you've supplied over the years Richard ;)

as said before this is going to be a VERY SLOOOOOOOOOW build, but you can expect to see it on a few NSW tracks with better tyres and brakes in the near future.

omg this thing was designed before nissan learned about "curves". clearly from the dr30/bluebird vintage!

was sooo funny in the wet the other day. wheelspin all the way through 3rd on boost, with fwd and lsd it just drives straight ahead in the wet, no matter where the steering wheel points

Awesome little car - what was even funnier was seeing Duncan and Kel load it up with jacks, stands, tools, and all the other associated stuff they'd brought to Oran Park that day and driving it home!

is anyone on here wrecking a march super turbo? we need a couple of parts and can't find them at pick n payless?

lol, that could be a probrem dundan.

man I still hate you both. I have always wanted the super turbs. for years and years. I tried to find a good one to bring in under the 15yo rule back in the day but never could. and there is probably only a dozen or so in the whole of aus. :(

anyway, having now seen the car I can confirm it is as cool as it looks in pics and yes duncan looks funny as hell driving it. lol.

yeah 80s nissan was all about the box shape. they love the box. so do i.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
