Bob would you like to explain what's been done here?

Thanks

JEM

Not sure if anyone has noticed the exhaust port, the bump has not been cut out, I know everyone out there has cut this out but john has not cut it out?? let see who can tell me why??

I honestly have no idea, but ill take a stab at it causes turbulence which helps bind the pulse together, so ultimately it will hit the turbine wheel more effectively.

Well the correct answer is, there is a water gallery right behind it if you cut it out your wall thinkness is reduced to <1.5mm think, this was found when we got a rb26 head and John started to cut sections out of it, he has checked the whole head where he could gain more performance from it and at the same time keep away from any thining walls.

You can see it in the below pic

Shift light

M800 - Will run all the factory sensors plus run twin Nismo AFM no Map for tunning. Control diff, trans, and front diff cooling pumps, Dual lambda, custom wiring for 12 injectors all running sequential ,speed controlled Fuel Pump, fuel pressure sensor, fuel temp sensor. E85 analyser for ethanol content (zeitronix sensor), water methanol injection

E888- Will be used for 8 k type thermocouples installed in the manifold runner and exhaust, 4 pressure sensor exit of compressor housing to the plenum. 4 air temp sensors exit of compressor housing to plenum. Compressor wheel RPM,Diff temp,trans temp.

Ignition Expander - this will control the sequential IGN as the output on the M800 are used for the other set of injectors.

Shift light - This has three different colour on each light that can be configured for warnings and shift lights

Motec would have to be one of the best ECU system for a car as you can make it do what ever you want it to. Yes it is expensive however if you want to do it properly then this is the product.

I was very happy that Just Engine Management is a dealer for Motec and Adam at Jem advised what the car needed, i guess this is just the beginning as i am sure i need alot more Motec equipment to complete the car.

The wastegate collector has been slow as John has been busy making the die.

See below Vid

He is making this die so he can beat the pipe into this shape for each of the two wastegates entering the dump to form a venturi. I know this is getting out of control however i guess, him making these things is all a challenge to him also.

bobby, with motec it doest stop haha by the time i finished with my car it was well into the 30s!! wiring, slm, dash, 1 million sensors it gets up there fairly quickly!!

Yes i know i was just told today i have to use some special wire "tefzel" for all the sensors with raychem.

Also i dont see anyother ECU out there that can do what i need it to do.

Awesome build dude keep us posted !

I know of a good ECU "Apexi power fc" does the job for me lol

loving the thread mate. great stuff. I would love to come and talk with john about his ideas one day. he is a fantastic craftsman that's for sure.

I run a motec in my 32 too, not nearly as comprehensive as yours though! but it does run very nicely.

I'll echo some previous thoughts on using an EFR turbo. I have a lot to do with both borg warner and full race at the moment and would be happy to make an introduction? I'm sure they could supply the info john needs to make an informed decision about their product. pm me if interested.

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
