Somebody is a railway Mech I thinks.... (right?)

This kind of thing is a pretty common sight for me. Not me in the photo, just a random interwebs pic.

Note right at the back of the motor there is a spare piston and rod. The engine casing is about 3 or 4 stories high...

Oh, its a Container ship motor. Heavy fuel oil.

Nice pics Paul; cubes+boost = WIN!:cheers:

I've been out of the game a while (used to build V16 2 stroke GM Diesels and a bit of Paxman stuff) Things look to have moved on a little! What make is that V20?

Yeah Alex, back in the rail for about a year now after a break doing allsorts of different things.

Things have moved on Dale I'm catching up now.The engine is German made by MTU 4.7 litres per cylinder 18:1 compression with 55 psi boost common rail injected 1800 rpm max. So in terms of a diesel they are a bit of a race engine.

Very nice; common rail and computer control was only becoming a reality in large engines as I was leaving that part of the industry. I did see some pretty interesting Turbo/superchargers with the GM stuff; but not those kind of boost numbers.

It was cool knowing the turbos I was balancing & building were turning at 80,000rpm with a 60 cm wide impeller. Some Napier turbo assemblies were 100,000+ rpm! All on a floating bearing too; no BB set ups.

What kind of power are they producing; I'm guessing in the 3000 odd HP bracket?

Yep pretty much on the button with the horsepower 2700 quoted.We still have a few GM power plants but phasing them out slowly, they have been great work horses.

Good stuff. Looking forward to what you've got in store for the Stagea.thumbsup.gif

Hopefully picking my car up from All Type Crash this afternoon.

Aero wing painted, Xanadu grille painted, detail including brush touch up all round. It's hard to know where to stop spending money on bodywork though - there is a very minor dent in the passenger door. I could get it pulled out, but I'll be forever freaking out about some tosser denting the door again. I always park at the opposite end of the car park or take the end park, but people always manage to get way too close still. :rolleyes:

Go and talk to your local Paintless dent removal specialist; ask them if they'll do a cash job if you remove all the trim from the door. A lot of the time it's just the gesture that they appreciate.thumbsup.gif

I had 3 small pin dents done by a great PDR guy in my area for $60.

I'd thought about this but apparently the good local guy has recently retired. Need to scout out someone decent I guess.

Rob from sinergy motorsports (adl) drive car [2005 axis/chocolate interior/v36 brakes] Thought it was pretty cool and I'd take some pics (havent seen a series 2 axis) .....don't know about the eyelids<BR><BR>post-41430-0-23872100-1321853747_thumb.jpg post-41430-0-03090400-1321853765_thumb.jpg

hmmm... wonder how he got that complied?

Looks good.

Still, wouldn't get any interior but black.

Northshore.... as a favour I hear (still cost them though).

EDIT: actually I think that was for a QLD based yard, but Northshore are offering compliance for other importers and have been for a few months now.

Oh and while I gotcha Alex, regardless of the instructions, you don't need to remove the rear water pipe when installing the kit.

Thanks Cam,

I think I saw it online in a QLD lot.

Thanks for the pro tip. That means the pathfinder cooling mod might just work then. How far through are you guys? before/after dyno? What did a GT-8 pull NA?

I agree black is nicer, Redicorp/pvp imports/sinergy motorsport in adelaide can comply m35's, they are on the raws list for m35s...i thought, god knows about 2005 axis model though :unsure:

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
