Dude it's looking super sweet!!

I'm going to put down 185rwkw

Can't wait to get my cam regrind down.

Once you have your dyno sheet can you post it up so it'll give me a good idea of what cams (reassure myself of my cam choice) im going to drop in.

No simulator used

the trumpets follow 1 rule, shorter for higher rpm/ top speed, longer for more torque. i wanted torque but didn't have the room :-(

Headers are the same as the hurricane rb30 interference length with a rb26 bolt pattern welded on, but soon as i get the funds ill take it to a guy i know that will work out the right length for the block volume, comp ratio, cams, porting flow figures etc, they will set me back 1800

For now im just focusing on getting the car back

Update;

Micks motorsports: you'll have the car back in 2 weeks

2 weeks later

Micks motorsports: you done a shit job with the linkages

me: *face palm* lol ok so how long?

Micks motorsports: well i won't be able to start it for a few weeks but ill try to get it back by end of July

end of July

Micks motorsports: we're flat out not enough hours in a day

me: look at your work load and give me a realistic time

Micks motorsports: end of august beginning of September

end of first week of September

Micks motorsports: haven't had time promise end of next week

end of the next week

Micks motorsports: not ready, won't be able to start it until the week after next, got a race meet on next weekend. But you will have it for the long weekend

(the photos above were taken then)

yesterday was well past 3 months since i took it to him, nothing has been done since i left it there. every other car gets put inside his workshop and mine is protected by a crappy fence and pad lock.

I took it to him cause i know he is the best with Japanese cars and n/a cars but obviously he doesn't want to work on it, and being the only car out the front shows he doesn't care. So my patients has run out.

Time to look for a new tuner

(i know the forum rules, you can't dis a business, I'm not saying he does a shit job, and ill still stand by what i say, he is still the best i know of with what he does, i took it to him knowing he is not the quickest)

poor form by the workshop.

I would have pulled the car and told him to jam it after the first time.

P.s re: the intake runner length.

Bends dont affect the airflow (providing they arent super sharp 90d bends) and add length.

making some that curl upwards should give an extra couple of inches

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
