Mercury Motorsport Built And Tuned R35 Willall Turbo Upgrade


Recommended Posts

Trent, John, Gordon and the lads at Mercury have been working hard the last few days on and off getting the tune on the car right.

I reckon it was the cream buns for smoko and firebreather pizza that I got delivered around lunchtime today though that sparked some true Mercury genius.

I think I'm going to have to buy the boys pizza more often.

lol, we are just simple banana benders.

Although I am sure Duncan doesn't need me to tell him, for everyone else its 475 kW at the wheels

Awesome result . . .and a further testament to the performance industry here in Aus.

Awesome avatar mark.. have you got hi res pic of that?

That's one of the pics from our MASSIVE dyno day yesterday! Not sure if I can get my hands on the hi-res as I am pretty sure that shot will be used as the main pic for the subsequent article in High Performance Imports.

No flame thrower kit. Just no cats. It happens when you come off the power due to heat / unburnt fuel. It is not related to a rich tune either which is another misconception.

some guys in the states have actually sent pms to get the details of the 'flame thrower kit' I am using, so wasn't sure!

As for the rear bumper, it may do, but in reality it will only occur on the track on changing gears at which time there will be more airflow behind the car. the artificial environment of the Dyno room isnt helping!

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
