no worries at all. Everything has been put back because it was confirmed this morning that my welder parts went to Mexico.....yes MEXICO!!!!!!!

Anyway, it might tie in nicely because I have a car coming down shortly that you may have some work from which you can take a look at while I teach you how to weld LOL....just messing with ya!

Yeah when I drop my car off to ariel, ill get him to weld some dash fittings to the rocker covers then if you wanna take the rocker covers, exhaust manifold, dump and rear turbo housing, Craved, and throw some of your coatings on them that would work out good!

No worries Joel

let me know when you are going to take the car over to Ariel and we'll tee something up.

  • 3 weeks later...

Finally a bit of an update....have been flat out getting back on track after the purchase of a new welder. Only the surge tank and turbo flange have been done with the new welder.

Apart from plenums for 4G63, RB20, RB20 (in matt black shades.gif ) , RB30, SR20, G200 I thought I would post up some pics of the kind of work there seems to be a bit of a demand for. The plenums aren't slowing down, I just put the word out there that I can do this kind of work and people seem to catch on.

Turbo Suzuki Swift GTI - weld exhaust manifold, weld fuel lines, build radiator end tanks and mounts as well as modified radiator support to mount it & intercooler piping

To keep this thread going, I will have pics of the plenum work I have done recently over the weekend since they are being finalised for delivery.

Happy Welding,

Ariel

I have a CA18DET 1200 ute being towed up here from Canberra this coming week, you can bring your car up after that if you like :thumbsup: and then an R31 (don't worry Joel, I thought I would squeeze it on before your car tunrs up :whistling:

Dam.....what does it need to get running? Can I help out with it if it comes here?

Junkey (has a quite giggle) - you mean the end tanks for radiators and intercoolers? If so, no. Just measure them, draw it on the sheet and cut away

you "could":nyaanyaa: I am going down to Canberra either this coming week or next week to check out another job so I might aswell come past and have a look at it and see how much i can do with some "templates" maybe enought to get it driving. If you like, pm me your number and I will give you a call when I am heading down

I will be making one for the 32's as soon as I get mine back.

26 plenum is coming along, a little slower than expected but I will definitely have one installed in a car within a month and that's when the first pics will come out :banana:

Considering the inside size of the flange was similar and honestly the customer actually didn't give a sh1t since it is for a junker, he wasn't fussed.

There was absolutely no warping, not when you weld it I like I do :)

Haha fair enough mate was just curious cause I need to do the same thing to one of my manifolds cause my turbo is t2 not t3 so really just after a second opinion of some that has been there before

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
