I am very interested reading about this project.

Are those cam covers painted or powder coated?

hay mate, to tell the truth i dont know what is being done with the cam covers.

the engine is in the car and the ARE intercooler is bolted in position, pipe work has begun, the mercury welder is very neat, ill post up photos in a few days once it is done.

thumbs up

I am very interested reading about this project.

Are those cam covers painted or powder coated?

The covers are painted in an awesome custom pearl blue colour, which is currently Mercury's signature colour for rocker covers. It's up to Jay whether or not he intends to keep this colour or choose another!

The engine is in the car and the piping is being fabbed and the rest of the gear is being bolted in.

Here are the latest photos.

1st photo is the spit fire coil packs

2nd photo is the turbo side of the intercooler with the bov on it

3rd photo is the ATI 1000hp balanced

4th photo is the custom serge tank with 2 x 044 pumps

5th photo is of the 4inch dump pipe an par gear box

to be correctly mod plated it needs to have padding anywhere near where the head can hit.

So if I was to use a metre/(0.9) length from the top of the front legs down to the floor, it obviously won't go the whole way...they won't whinge about that?

And i've found a few different types of padding available...does it have to be a certain thickness to pass?

the engine is in and received a run in tune.

on 20psi and rev limit set at 7100rpm the car made 492hp on pump.

there are 2 things that need to be changed before it gets a hard pump tune and that is the spring in the waste gate at the moment is a 7psi spring so the car is lazy on to boost, so it will be changed to a 14psi spring so then the car will make a lot more in the mid range and therefore would have more power to build off for the top end so it should make more up top. and the exhaust is all 4 inch but finishes off at 3 inch at the muffler. so a new muffler is needed also.

this engine is made to rev to 8500rpm, i dont think the tuner at mercury motorsport will take it that high just yet but i look forward to seeing what is to come on pump fuel.

so it got the run in tune last friday and i had power play last saturday, here are some photos from the day at queensland raceway.

i lost 1 race out of the whole day to a spastic evo that mercury motorsport also built, i look forward to a serious tune and full slicks for a rematch hehe

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
