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"

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
