Small update to keep thread going.

Put car in air sussed out clearances and work out few other items.

Done one cycle of engine temp so far will do another 1 or 2 and then re torque head back down. Even with 1/2 grout filled block water temp sits nicely doesnt get hot, so promising signs it should cope in traffic.

Dump pipe needs 16mm added to it as it sits too low and back.

There is a fingers gap everywhere around sump and diff except 1 bolt which in pretty close but engine torques away so it should be right. Pretty happy about that.

Sorting out adapting the standard clutch cylinder just without clutch booster, making a plate and brace will post photos if it works out. Only have 90mm between firewall and hypertune so really narrows out options. Spent alot of time measuring various clutch cylinders from makers seeing where it leaves up......not very good position.

Getting there slowly dump pipe should be welded up in next 7 days.

We want to be able to move it under its own power by sunday. might be a stretch but something to work towards

The engine building was the easy bit this is the time we werent looking forward too.

very interested how this goes as i have a similar combo

As are we, Will be posting up videos, thoughts and results once start doing some kays and dyno time.

Very interested in seeing the difference between the old 2.7 9950rpm rev limit stroker engine and 3.0 (rev limit to be worked out on dyno).

Made a HUGE step forward tonight. the prototype bracket for mounting clutch master has worked and we have a full clutch working pedal. Now we just need to make a presentable bracket and rod and will post up how we did it for others who encounter the issue.

Small update

After a long month of sitting doing not much after a few hold ups, it has moved 10 meters under its own power, thats as far as it got.....the battery has packed it in and apparently quad plate clutches arent user friendly and wont start again. New battery time.

Plan is monday go for a short drive small load then onto hoist for final checks. After all clear its going for a highway run in/street check of tune.

Videos will follow. Cannot wait

Car has done just over 100klms on new engine and no real issue :D.

Valvetrain is a little bit noisier then we would of liked but you get the with solid buckets.

Car feels strong, wants to go, Alot more noticable torque over the 2.7 stroker engine. dont have to struggle to get the thing going off the line. Now able to cruise up a hill in 6th and not go back a gear. 30 bottom end worth it just in the respect.

Exhaust note pretty much the same for those wondering.

Thursday afternoon the sniffer is going in to check mixtures and then its fun time...loading some boost into it see what its capable off.

PICS:

Proof it left the shed

First wash in almost 6 months

Car is loving the new engine. Its so much easier to drive and more user friendly Tim (owner) is saying. Evident by the lack of throttle percentage being used.

Had the sniffer in the exhaust aswell. around town cruise its only a little bit rich but under full power its going to 10.1 afrs so heaps of power left in it. Goes in soon to get a tune done.

Tidying up engine bay now finish off a few bits and peices, then its ready to go to powerplay hopefully in january.

Took it out for a thrashing on the weekend and aside from banging limiter too quickly its awesome fun.

gate cracks around 5400 full boost by 5700.

Its lazy atm due to a average tune, lots of fuel and a tame timing map. wont get much better though.

Old motor reved to 9980 so wasnt a issue of short powerband thats for sure

Which version of T51 is it running?

SPL or KAI either way its still only 400 rpm off the T04Z/GTRS spool time on the typical RB30/26 hybrids. Not bad at all considering.

Sounds great in the videos too.

Its a KAI version. SPL is a little too big thats for the dyno queens who just want big numbers. Thankfully the 6 speed gearing helps it too not fall off boost between shifts

Videos dont really do the sound justice need a high quality mic to pick it up.

Sounds strong so lets hope it makes the numbers to back it up

or the ones that want little numbers at the strip! thumbsup.gif

Are you saying a 35r has poor response and is a bad choice as a street turbo? :)

And yeah, I am having a down day....

BTW, spl 51r is a great setup for the street, especially if wheelspin from 60-200 on a pair of 295s is your kinda thing.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • 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.
