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.

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

    • 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/
