…..and this is for an up and coming Pro Compact 4 cylinder front runner. It was picked up today . The FE3 which should be packing some serious punch.

This is my favourite photo

Next weekend is the RB30 Street Version group buy.

Happy Welding,

Ariel

Hi Ariel,

Great work! Who did you build this for? I bang around in the hipo fwd Mazda world and there is not many people building FE3's, so I probavbly know them! Out of curiosity for my own project, can you PM me with prices for something along these line please? :-)

nice. just one question on the previous page pics. how do you get the injectors in if the rail is welded to the runners like that? i guess just have to lever it out of the way?

the rail mount is just bolted to the bottom of the rail so it makes it easy to take on and off

I am testing a new torch setup over the weekend on a ca18 manifold so lets hope it comes out even better

Nice looking work there.

Just a quick enquiry, a little down the track i'll be looking at getting a custom plenum for my rb30, however, due to my setup i want a plenum that is the same orrientation as a standard nissan plenum (ie; the intake and throttle body runs over the top of the engine). Just wondering if you would be able to do something like this? And roughly the costs? I'll be wanting a bigger sized throttle body. And also would like to replace my entire plenum (both the top part and the bottom part) as i'm wanting something that isn't going to hold my setup back.

Here's an engine bay picture:

And a link with some more info on my car (needs updating):

The black intake pipe you see in the picture can be lengthened or shortened where needed but i figured it would be easiest if the throttle body remained in the same position so that the throttle cable connected as normal.

Like i said, i won't be doing this for some time (unless it turns out to be affordable sooner or i decide i want it done sooner) just wanting to know if you can do it, how much roughly, and any recomemmendations you have.

And should also mention that a forward faceing plenum would be no good to me.

Cheers for your time.

Nothing special at all actually, just a wp20 watercooled torch, with now a cheap gas lens setup off ebay. I might extend the tungsten out to 5-6mm but apart from that I just crank the heat up for tight spots.

Cheers,

Ariel

Sick of custom plenums......well there is more coming LOL but for the time being, here are a couple of a surge tank and breather I made recently.

Coming so are catch cans, surge tanks, breather tanks, overflow bottles, wiper bottles, ABS covers, airboxes and more, so keep an eye on this thread on how they all come together

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
