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

    • Yea that's a fair assumption. I'm presuming they call them solid lifters as they have no moving parts like hydro lifters. 
    • I believe you're confusing WMI with water injection. Looking at that graph, the 93aki+WMI car is making more power than C16 race gas. Boost juice, which is what I also run, is Snow Performances 50/50 premix. 
    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
