...:woot: ...

i am really looking forward to see how this goes as i have been thinking about doing something similar for awhile now but i don't think what i build would look as pretty. :)

Well i think you should give it ago, and if you need any info i will be more then happy to provide you the info.

I have only just come across this thread and gone from beginning to end in a session.

All I can say is this is truely an amazing endeavour, something I can only aspire to.

Can't wait to see the final output.

Thankyou for sharing so openly.

Regards and respect.

Thank you for your comments

Needs more updates with pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes i know its been awhile, John is doing the final stages on the venturi dump will have pics this week sometime. Also he is in the process of desigining the plunger infront of the turbo!!!! more details to come soon.

The motor builder is looking at drilling the head to relief air locks. Will have full detailed pics on how we will fix this problem.

hahah i love that quote bobby!! some time this year!! heres to hoping u get an early xmas present!! good luck !

Thats at least a realistic goal.

The last car build I started took 3 years to finish! Way too long, as I got so frustrated with how long things were taking I had time to buy an R34 and design an engine upgrade for it!

This is deadset one amazing build... I'm still dumbfounded by the perfection of the turbo manifold. As a Fabricator myself, I learnt early that I would never know as much as the older guys. It's a shame that real fabrication is a dying art... Metalurgists are a dime a dozen. I would trade in everything to have a fraction of John's skills and knowledge... But enough of the tradesman envy.

I can't wait to hear this thing start up once it's complete. You better be posting a video, haha. Money is nothing when it comes to experimention and perfection, and by the looks of it you have succeeded. Keep up the great work! I'll be making sure my eyes are glued on this build.

Hi Robert,

Thank you for your comments.

Yes john has the skills, just remember its never to late to excell in fabrication.

Yes you will have full data once the car is up and going ill be posting vids and even data files just to show how its all going to work.

Cheers

Bobby

    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
