Everything has now been ceramic coated, including the manifold, turbo rear housing, dump pipe and gates.... The Stealth black theme continues :ninja:

........... but it's a race car? why not gates out of the bonnet or out of the quarter panel like Ryan Tuerck's car?

Because NSW race car so needs to be below 90db or no Wakefield for you

Will do a screamer setup later! For now i just need a base tune so i can go thrash :yes:

95 dB if you hassle them during track hiring time

Mine was on the 95 mark last time i went out and they had no issues as it was a Time Attack event...

  • 4 months later...

Unfortunately i never really got to update this after the turbo swap as the whole setup was letdown by the stock engine finally getting tired! I have punished the thing for over 10 years and many of those have been at 500whp... It was stock, including the headgasket which has seen 30 psi numerous times due to boost control issues prior to the upgrade.

So, when i ran the turbo on low boost it was mental, it was faster than the car has ever been and was good enough for a 1.39 at SMSP GP on basically bald semi slicks as they were around 400 laps old! The car was also bring on all shift lights in 5th on the straight!

I have another stock motor lined up for the car but am also considering a built motor, i always said i would never go down that path but will do the sums and evaluate what is best!

I still think my stock motor has been one of the best that i know of! Its done in excess of 200k and still hauls ass on track, the last compression and leak down tests were so low but the thing keeps amazing me!

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 bigger turbo is pushing high 300s on gate pressure with a worn out engine, so time to step it up a notch... 

Making space to get the engine out... Fills up quick once everything comes apart -

Just jacking this thing up with the aero is a pain in the ass -

Removal is methodical and time consuming -

Fabtech's work of art, not so user friendly when it comes to removal, but should be one of the last times it comes apart -

You can see where the paint burned prior to the turbo heatshield was fitted next to the EFR, its pretty well hidden when everything is together. Once the new setup is complete i will clean up the engine bay back to its former glory! Just cus its a race car doesn't mean it cant look good!

Evidence of engine issues... I can shift the crank back and forth by hand... This was actually unexpected but does explain a few issues i had over the past few months.

So much room for activities!

Super Cheap Auto had a half price special so got myself a new engine crane and leveller!

Making a fkn mess :down:

20180114_100732.thumb.jpg.20d77c5e1797cc95463d97025b61d163.jpg

Clutch is off getting a freshen up. Its done years of hard work and still performs faultlessly but while its out i might as well!

20180114_104214.thumb.jpg.95a370fce14377575c309b890e3e3bcd.jpg

Can finally access all the lines that have been run over the years with the engine fitted and the mess just got more and more... Will spend some time routing stuff and cleaning up to make it easier to work on in the future.

20180114_104236.thumb.jpg.46f3515c227f6b62ce795bb4da2e9e02.jpg

Was a pretty painless removal.

20180114_104250.thumb.jpg.657fd5396f26f1bcac2d8f27ae03d225.jpg

Used whatever i could find laying around work to get it transported safely to our stretch wrapper.

20180114_132649.thumb.jpg.bc0b05f6ac19a090016769911c119c56.jpg

Stretchwrapper did the trick! It wasn't going anywhere in a hurry!

20180115_124216.thumb.jpg.13990a46efeccb699cb218413c25785c.jpg

So i just got an email as i was uploading these to inform me the engine had already arrived at Racepace (Bayswater VIC) which was under 24hrs... Not bad TNT! :486_truck:

While the engine is off getting built i have a long list of changes to make to the car for reliability as well as performance. I am not sure if we will make Round 1 of the NSW Super Sprint series as yet, really depends on the engine build time... We will do our best no matter what though! Once the engine is back and in the car it will go to DVS TUNING for a run in and base tune... We will run the first few events pretty sedate to ensure the engine is sweet before we run it up properly.

Suspension has been upgraded thanks to Josh @ MCA Suspension

Brakes have been ordered and will be all new and fresh for 2018

Clutch is up with Jim Berry getting a freshen up, its run since 2013 as is without a hiccup.

Tyres will have to be replaced... For those that were interested this is what i ran the 1.39 on -

More updates coming soon!

Yay updates. Wish I had some updates >.<

I thought Jim Berry was retiring back when I bought my clutch 4 years ago? Hahaha.....

Giving away any plans on the engine build? Should probably keep the stock bottom end and we can battle it out for fastest stock bottom end, Jim Berry clutched, R34 GTT with a sick kunt driving it :4_joy::4_joy:

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
