Well the decision was made not to go with another stock NEO as the risk of failure again with the new EFR setup was too high! It was OK belting around the track on 300kw with the old setup but the big

I agree, hard pipes are a better idea but welding a bend to the turbo makes it almost impossible to sell. Straight joiners on a cast alloy 90 may be a little better but it will limit your power as the internal diameter is much smaller.

I was running 40psi through mine, 2 inches from the maifold. Perhaps yours is just too close, can you spin the housing a little?

There are some great heat insulating and heat reflection products out there these days, no need to change the setup imo.

I run a 45deg silicon bend exactly the same as yours, on the track punishing it for 20 mins at a time running 21psi it was fine. Has held up to two of those track days now. But as scotty said, mine sits probably 4-5 inches from exhaust manifold and has zero issues.

I dont think resale is an issue as i am so happy with the results and performance i dare so i wont feel the need to change :)

Ill try the alloy elbow off the housing as i dont want to restrict any performance!

Good point about rotating the housing, that is something i hadnt thought of and will have a look, could be possible even if its just a bit...

Yep so i think mine is too close to the mani for one as i can only just get my hand between it.

Ill just get it welded up and do it right this time i think! I need to eliminate any potential problems!

So the car has its new home and i will try get my tools and stuff across there on the weekend! I think the shed will need its own build thread so i can come up with some designs... At this stage i am working on something like this -

Then maybe i should coat this white and do the white writing on the tyres? :rofl:

So, no real updates here... Moving house took a lot longer than expected and since doing that we have had no internet and no phone service hence we have been in the stone age!

I have started working on the shed as planned and its coming together as per my rough floor plan -

Also, The LOWDOWN.com guys now have the pics online from the JEM shoot, check out the workshop feature if you get a chance -

As some of you know the car is back at its second home.... JEM....This visit is just to fix a few weak spots we found at the track day....

Hopefully when it returns to the road it will also be quite capable on the track, 2014 will be more focussed on track days and hopefully will get some good laps in without issues!

This photo is thanks to Mr Paul Kelly :D -

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
