LOL i am at that price huh? pinch.gif

Nice work Justo glad ya pulled out the calculator and crunched the numbers for me mate i should be able to afford a tank by tax time id say! haha

think your getting ripped mate :nyaanyaa:

:P

I'm really looking forward to your results on the E85. I am wondering how it will compare to my GTX3071R setup, but with water methanol injection and type B Poncams. I am hoping to get close to E85 results on 98. Will be winding in as much boost as it will take!!!

I will finally be assembling the bottom end this Wednesday. Still a month or 2 away with all the other work needed though.

Yeah watch this spot dude ill post my results up when its tuned i said the same thing to my tuner screw as much boost as ya can into her if my injectors can keep up the demand :thumbsup:

2 months dude?:blink: epic build mate but im keen to see your results though same turbo but different setup should be a monster :rofl:

:P

Not too sure to be honest Andy sooner the better i say!:thumbsup:

Whats wrong with the stag mate?

If you are around Richmond this weekend give us a dial mate keen to check ya ride and give you a spin in mine

Are they tuning it tonite or tomorrow? The fat slug is going in on Thurs for tidy up and to sort a couple of minor issues.

Hahaha sweet keen to hear the 3076 whistle away

Wish my turbo was noisey :spank:

The slug is fine just a few little things that need a tidy up. Out in the boondocks on Saturday so we can compare notes as soon as I finish.

Just a lil update on my car had map sensor dramas yavus thinks its a dodgy sensor so my car was only tuned on 18psi and made 307rwkw once i get a new sensor and bump up the boost to 25psi its gunna feel real nice im really happy with how the car feels on E85 much livelier on and off boost and is just more responsive all round

Wow, I think the GTX will make a fair bit more once you get 25 pounds into it.

Wish we could get E85 here :(

Another 7psi and we will see what the billet wheels can do.

The compressor can only flow to its maximum capacity. Sure, bump up the boost and watch the midrange soar (good times :)). Even running E85 you will run into a restriction with what the turbine can flow up top. I'm guessing a bottleneck around 320kW, but a ridiculously fat midrange with 25psi.

Mick's car drives really nicely. It delivers in a very linear fashion through to redline. I feel like there should be more urge at 3000-4000rpm when you open the throttle which is surprising given the 71mm compressor, however it is very subjective (using the arse dyno) but my 3076 feels a little stronger here. Nevertheless it is very impressive and will have a very very fat midrange once it has more boost crammed in. The E85 has improved this car everywhere IMO.

The drivability of Mick's car is very impressive which is a credit to the tuner and the setup generally. :thumbsup:

Dale I think it will go to about 335ish.

I'd also like to thank Mick for blowing a hose on my car and then fretting that he had done some damage....lol.

Thanks for the kind words Andy its good getting to drive a different set up car real world comparisons are a much better way to judge setups than dyno sheets :thumbsup:

Our cars do feel very similar in the way the power is delivered be very interesting to see how our cars performed side by side

Sorry bout that hose mate glad i only owe you a new hose clamp and not a new engine... lol

so what is the power delivery like? second and third gear? does it throw you in the seat and you see stars ?

I never floor my car from 1st - 2nd but when ya mash the noise pedal in 2nd it will plant you in the seat bout 3700-3800rpm and pulls real hard to 7200 and it just hits 110kph 3rd gear is very much the same to give you an idea i opened her up in 3rd last nite and at maybe 120-130kph hit a bit of uneven road not really a pot hole but kind of a dip and she started to break traction haha feels unreal!

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
