hahahaha, well waiting on a few things...

new 8000k HID kit coming

alloy intake pipe coming

apexi pod coming

led parkers coming

front mount getting thursday hopefully

new hoses for the bov return and the oil/air from the cam cover

picked up new coolant, side indicator globes and motul auto trans fluid today. getting stuck into the making of the new mounts tomorrow for the thermo, trans cooler mount and bonnet latch brace.

Also the stagea side indicator plugs are different to the r34 plugs, wired them in today. Spoke to the paint shop, they are ready for it once i get it driving...

Looking great so far, Teren! Hopefully I'll be able to head around this week (or maybe over the weekend) some time and check it out in the flesh.

I'm back to health, so my aim is to NOT get sick again while out in the wet weather - hopefully it doesn't rain beyond Thursday.

Ok so a little update for those who tune in....

After returning from a quick trip to Singapore... I picked up a new HYBRID GT2 intercooler kit on tuesday, had to make some custom mounts to mount up to the the front reo and mess around with the trans cooler to get it to fit up all nice, also made brackets to bolt up the gtr bonnet latch brace and the thermo fan and modified the trans cooler bracket to fit up to the gtr rad support.

Received my alloy intake pipe and apexi pod filter, and have it roughly fitted up although the filter hits on the washer bottle so might have to see if the S1 washer bottle makes it any better (do S1's have the washer bottle mounted under the skirt where the stock intercooler goes? or do i have some different one?). If that doesnt work I will have to get a hold of a HKS mushroom possibly.

Could have had this thing finished and painted by now if i didnt keep on buying things to put on it! :thumbsup:

Thanks Hugh,

Its an Odyssey fairly certain its this one...

ER40 Specs:

1100 cranking amps for 5 seconds

Short circuit current over 2450A

45 amp hours

87 minute reserve capacity with 25amp load

M6 stud terminal

Length 9.8""

Width 3.8"

Height 8.1"

Weighs 27.5 lbs

Ill check my actual type tomorrow, but im fairly certain those are the same specs

Sorry about the poor quality, these were taken from my phone... Updates so far, front mount in, headlights and other wiring done and working, greedy catch can with braided lines and speed flow fitting's in and apexi pen timer... just took the car for a little punt around the block. Sounds good with the pod / alloy intake pipe :(

Do you get much reversion messing with the AFM with the alloy intake pipe?

there doesn't seemto be any problems with it but I do have a 45deg silicon bend before the AFM, there was a few problems with revs dropping heaps fast almost causing the engine to stall after fast acceleration then hard braking in full auto, but don't think it was reversion. Possibly the dual port BOV Ihave on it ATM...

looking forward to an update on this one mate!

I will update the latest pics tonight when I get a chance, im waiting to see what wheels you can come up with! :bunny:

Ok, Sorry it has been a while! but I'm just waiting to get it to paint :down:

I have been looking at wheels feverishly, so far these Gram light 57f's look to be winning... 19 x 9.5” +19 front and 19 x 10.5” +29 rears

I have also put the front side skirt pods back on the car along with a JJR Bellmouth stanless front/dump pipe and a HDI Dual stage EBC car is now running 12psi

My deadline for the paint and to have wheels on it is by the NSW stagea meet in the next few months!

I have also had a chat to a welding friend about removing the roof racks and having the holes welded up, looks promising but will let you know how I go

A few more pics :D

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
