Hello bigmikespec - You might want to ask GT Auto about the head work as they are available from them. Maybe send a PM as they might not want to post that information. I know they have full CNC packages for RB26 SR20 4G63 2JZ etc etc.

Cheers

HEADS ALMOST FINISHED!!!

post-24739-0-60098700-1308108788_thumb.jpg

The shape of that chamber is interesting; have the chambers been welded and reshaped? There is one feature in that chamber that gives a hint.

Looks very different to this: http://www.nagtroc.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=41869

No there is no welding of the chamber and it's no larger than stock (well they have been CC'd and matched in volume so close enough to stock size). Because this job has to be out the door so quick for GT Auto's project we are not going to town on them. We have some more coming to be cut up and developed like the rest of the head's available that we do.

To all those out there these heads are pretty good in stock form from Nissan. It's not like the 2JZ head where we weld up the exhaust runners and make our own for better flow or the Ford BA/BF/FG Turbo 6cyl where the chamber needs to be changed with much larger seats and valves to make a decent product.

Anyway back to the project. We found out some interesting news today about the factory computer system and how it slips the clutch if you make too much torque/boost etc as a failsafe. No good for our project so we have been working with HKS Japan and have a solution using the F-Con V-Pro. I'm not sure how the other cars go with this problem and the Cobb Tuning but we have it sorted.

You can see HKS TV for some cool updates: http://www.hks-tv.com/watch/?watch=158&tabsnm=2

So who is doing the head work then? You or GT Auto?

I was out at dinner last week with one mate of mine who is one of HKS's chief mechanics and he was saying that on test tuning on the dyno on the Black 35 they ramped the boost up and were able to get 1000ps out of the Black 35 but were getting major slip out of the tranny/clutch and thus have kept power at 900ps but have been working on sorting this since HKS Premium day.

Seeing your car is a full race spec build it will be interesting to see the difference on how it handles on the circuit compared to the Black HKS 35 as that was supposed to be a bloody handfull to drive.

Looks like the ID 2000's are becoming the injector of choice for E85 big power cars.

Just read the Speed Hunters article followed by the comments, it's no wonder americans get stereotyped as "Stupid & Ignorant"

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
