its getting abit tight on the rh side with the intercooler and pump and the oil filter block

intercooler water pipes are 1 1/4". just dummied up for now so i could see where i could fit the pump. (ewp130)

the engine bay is almost complete except wiring and cooler pipes

DSC_0333.JPGi used 2 w201 merc radiator welded together for the interooler heat exchanger. the are perhaps a little two tall. but still fit. i got a great deal on them. must of smudged the camera lens..

DSC_0331.JPGstill have lots of wiring to do. but shouldnt be to much longer as ive done most of the mechanical stuff.

getting pretty close now. just wiring and some more fab on the intercoolers.

i read the wiring diagram wrong, and wired all the crank and cam sensors up backwards. killed all of them, so at $115 each i needed a better solution. so i picked the popular cherry gear tooth hall sensors, and turns out that a standard a/c pipe pad mount has the same dimensions as the sensors. :)

made an auxiliary air tank for the paddle shift out of an old extinguisher. since the compressor and tank is in the boot. i didn't want any losses in the air pipes. has a short run of 3/8 tubing to the valve bock.

also an under body photo showing how cramped it is!

well... it starts!! :) some wierd settings in a sub menu were stopping the engine from starting. video up soon. big thanks to Ryan from SYVECS. what took me over a week to work out he did in about 10 seconds over team viewer. (from Dubai)

even on methanol it seems pretty good.  now ive got to button up the body loom and put the interior and dash in it. yays

sorry for the lack of updates. had some small issues.

gearbox linkage had to be redone after i got the paddle shift working. had to send the ecu back to the uk to fix the 5v output that i blew by reverse polarity (dt 12way connectors can go both ways... :( send battery power to 5v outs and into the can1 output

also the superfan worked to well. it was cooling the water so much it was closing the thermostat, the then overheating. so i put on a "coolant in" temp sensor. and the fan is controlled via a custom 3d table via pwm.  works really well now. and coolant stays within 2 degc idling or on the 2 step :)

running e85 now. 

things left to do. :

a/c hoses

brake fluid reservoirs

inner guard liners

cal switches

get a new efr boost solinoid (snapped the leg off one...)

some kind of gear boot(not stopping it from driving)

sort out some small issues with the dash (plex sdm700) more like i need to learn more about can communications.. (im kind of proficient with it now, but still not up to speed 100%)

put the seats and console back in.

get 2 ntk l2h2 lambda sensors that are the same.. (left bank runs abit richer showing the same lambda) egt tells the story

 

so not heaps, just little bits and pieces.

ps, what color should i powder-coat the inlet manifolds?

seem to be stuck with a vct rattle.

ordered new Teflon vct seals and solenoids.  the intake cams rattle at 3000rpm ish with no power to vct solenoids. put some advance in it and it gets louder... farken..

pulled timing cover off to see if i have a blown oil gallery gasket, all ok. o rings ok. has new vct gears.

has poncams and jwt springs so i cant see that as being to much for the gears.. timing chains are all mint. (engine had low k's on it when i bought it)

seems to have a oil pressure issue to the gears. nowhere to measure the pressure applied either.. but the cam angle is achieved almost instantly, so the gears work and oil pressure is there.

cant see it being the gears, as they are the latest spec and have 0 km on them.  il have to wait till the parts come in to see if that fixes it.

going to tune it up anyway.

just took it for a lap around the block with a r35gtr 1000cc injector basemap

700kpa boost in 3rd bakes them.. perhaps the tyres have gone hard comes on boost pretty early. 3k ish

things to fix.

front wheel speed (for traction control)

need to adjust the pedal to throttle ratio to make it smoother

needs more tuning for the paddle shift

needs some sound deadner for the tunnel. (gearbox is pretty loud)

gas up a/c

dyno tune

need to learn how to drive again....

wait for a firmware patch to fix the farkn dash. (display freezes up if rpm is connected to it.....)

    • +1. Good thing is people wont tailgate you for a while
    • If you have a RB25DET NEO AWD motor, you will need this: https://www.hioctanedirect.com/ASR-RB26-RWD-Street-Comp-6.5L-Sump-Suit-R32/33/34-and-VL It is made for the AWD motor, but makes it fit a RWD setup and gives you a new pickup. Just one thing, the pickup sits quite forward, compared to a conventional RB25DET RWD motor. This may or may not have contributed to my previous AWD -> RWD shitting the bed at the track.
    • My car is also flex tuned. It's worth mentioning it (the LS1 ECU) has a 1D table for E85 addition and just uses the ethanol stoich part as the second point of reference. It also as a 3D timing map for Ethanol adjustment. You would think this isn't enough but it works pretty damn well. That said, I wouldn't want it in turbo application. It's like lifting non-natty, or taking meth. It gets you unrealistic results that break down more things going forward. If people used it to make the same amount of power they do on 98 then it'd be one thing. But people use it, crank it up to eleventy million PSI, it doesn't knock - but it pushes the point of failure to another, more expensive thing to break. Every time I see someone make 280kw on 98 and 350kw on E85 on the same equipment I just cry a bit and really wish they would just stay on 98 in that exact scenario. It's bad for you. 
    • This is kind of what I was thinking but the temp sender wire and the two pressure switch wires run through the starter subharnes and I eliminated the two pressure switch wires completely.  @GTSBoy I have a can gauge with unusually bright warnings should the oil pressure fall so the factory light isn't needed. I need to dig out my wiring diagram and see if I can sort this out.
    • It's a valid point. And it is doable with the Nistune. But I'm not inclined to flex it the way Nistune does - certainly not on a Neo ECU. They're already pernickety enough to tune just one one fuel. And of course, I'm not that interested in putting in a Link or similar, on a daily. With the stock ECU, stock looking turbo, etc etc, I still stand a chance of surviving a run-in with the plod. Last time it went over the pits (which was for the transplant, for because of a run-in with the plod), the Nistuned ECU did not even raise an eyebrow. They want to see a stock ECU running the engine, and they are happy to see it do so without the check engine light** on. Never mind that the Nistune is necessary to make the stock ECU work in a different chassis without ABS, TCS, etc. **And they actually provoke the CEL to come on by disconnecting the AFM, to prove that the globe hasn't been pulled!
