the intercooler mad the usual flat spot so i purchased a pfc and datalogit remapped it andsorted out .The oil cooler made a massive difference as the oil temp would be 105 degrees when being pushed no its max is 90 degrees so thums up to that

ive fitted a carbon splitter i made to the spec2 bumper as i dont like the aftermarket bumpers

got a spare engine which had lost compression so i stripped it to see what it was

3 pistons were shot but the bores were ok so sent everything off to get machined with new pistons and rods acl bearings ect and just got it all back

what do you think

beautiful

obviously looking to do some track work. what other plans for it, engine suspension brakes etc.

love the door trims..

ive just purchased a link g4 and a gt3071r my spare engine i have tomi pon b cams, suspension at the moment its cusco coil overs but for track there very under damped so i use a company called gaz do they are building me at set of coilovers that be weighted to the car and sprung correctly ! the car is built to fia standards which is basicly the British clubman race regulations but at the moment its just track use . I do all my own carbon work i have just made a bonnet to no pics as yet tho but i can do carbon infusion and wet lay so i have some fun with that

i feel a bit of a coward though as ive dropped the compression to 8.5.1 i here you boys run high with big horse power . Australia are alot more forward than us in tuning thats one of the reasons i went for the link and ditched the power fc plus i like mapping pressure verse rpm rather than maf verse rpm

Hi Jason, great work,

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
