Cool. Well it seems like the logical way to go to try and maximise power while trying to keep the boost to a slightly sensible level. Otherwise I will have to run the car on straight methanol to take advantage of the super high boost and not have detonation issues! lol.

You should move here now....its starting to warm up quite rapidly. QLD likes to skip spring and go straight to summer!

hahah So did Canberra...went from 5 deg C to 28 overnight

Methanol would be fun then add a splash of Nitro Methane....you know about 15% and have some fun with 60psi lol

I am drooling at that thought right now......You know my uncle has a couple of drums of methanol in his shed.....the 99.9% pure elf racing indy grade stuff!

Just need to fab up a 200litre tank so I can make it to the shops and back!

Quickly worked out the numbers. 60psi would be piss easy to achieve, 0.7bar from the charger and 2 bar from the turbo. Boom 4.1bar = 60.27psi

Hey mikey have i told you that there is no nissan engine which has survived longer than 6 seconds with that kind of boost levels.

Hey mikey have i told you that there is no nissan engine which has survived longer than 6 seconds with that kind of boost levels.

there was a Hyundai excel drag car that used to run 86psi and rev to something like 10k

they would usually last a few races and then crack the bores and they would just replace it with another stock block, pretty funny.

lol ah it is funny. The hyundai is hilarious!

If I listened to the old man Mike, I would be leaving oil restrictors out of the block! Hey dad????

Whats that senile old coot done this time Mike? :rolleyes:

He got a little carried away with the rb30 for the race car and forgot to put the grubscrew oil restrictors in! Only remembered when he was fitting the turbo to the exhaust manifold. Had to take head and surrounding shit off to fit them!

The two 6mm holes would have drowned the head in oil for sure lol.

I am hoping to go, but only if I get the car finished in time and sorted. If not then I wont bother going.

Turbo is assembled and bolted on loosely. Everything appears good so far. Need to get oil and water lines sorted now!

wow man that is intense..

when you threw the motor it did u have the blower off cos that engine mount would be a nightmare to tighten...

  • 2 weeks later...

lol im sure you wont die before I get it done. Finished mounting the new intercooler and nearly finished off the new charger outlet piping which got destroyed when I removed it off the charger...that threebond sure sticks lol.

Weve been working on the race car for the last few weeks so there hasnt been much time to get my own shit done :(

Hopefully tomorrow if bathurst doesnt catch too much of my attention I will be working on the exhaust!!!

    • Well, the trouble with that ^^ is: The configuration shown is absolutely a 1-way, not a 1.5-way. There is no way that a 1.5-way can be said to offer LSD action only on acceleration. If Nismo cannot get that right, then it is impossible to believe their documentation. That ^ is not a 1.5 way setup. That is a 1-way.   And so now I have allowed all doubts to flourish and have gone back to look at the MotoIQ video. I originally made the mistake of believing him when he said "this is a 1.5-way" at the ~6:10 mark. Because what he did was take the gear assembly out of the 2-way opening and just rotate it one place to the left to drop it into the 1-way opening. When he dropped it in there, the cam was "backwards" compared to the correct orientation shown in all other photos of that config. The flat shold have been facing the 1° ramp side of the opening, not the 55° ramp side. And I thought, "gee that's cute", but I was concerned at the time, when he put the other ring back on, that the gap between the rings looked like it was wider then in the 2-way config. And then I said a lot of things in my long post on Tuesday that could only make sense if the guy from MotoIQ was correct about what he'd done. BUT... I have now done my homework. I grabbed a frame of the video with the 2-way config, and then grabbed another with the "1.5-way" config, snipped out the cam and opening of that frame and just pasted it direct on top of the 2-way config. I scaled it so that the triangular opening was almost exactly the same height in both. AND.... the gap between the plates is wider with the cam installed in the triangualr opening backwards. That is.... it cannot go together that way. There would be massive force on the plates all the time, if you could even reassemble it.  So, My statement on the matter? The Nismo diff is actually only a 2-way and 1-way. There is no 1.5-way option in it, regardless of what they say. Here's a photo of a real 1.5-way ramp opening from Cusco (along with the 1 way option). And the full set of 1 through 2 way options from their racing diff, which is not same-same as what we'd typically be using, but...the cams work the same. A little blurry, but it comes from this Cusco doc, which is quite helpful. AND.... Cusco do in fact do what I suggested would be sensible, which is to have rings that do 1 and 1.5, and 1.5 and 2. Separately.  
    • Welcome Adam. Car looks great!
    • "With a 1.5-WAY, the LSD is effective only during acceleration."
    • Well it wasn't as easy as I thought.... and it also wasn't in my original manual which I did end up finding. They discuss the process in the Nismo catalogue though and it requires slight machining. Page 145.  NISMO PARTS CATALOGUE 2020
    • I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now.
