Thanks Dale yeah its what i do for a living mate but i would like to start doing more car stuff though as people tend to appreciate nice pipework under a bonnet more than in a factory haha hopefully ill get it sorted this afternoon and get it on the dyno sometime this week am keen as hell to push the lil GTX and see how many horsepowers she is good for

Looks like you're pretty handy in the fabrication stakes there Mick. Well done, now get into running this thing up with some boost into it. :)

Looks like my car wont hit the rollers till Friday night now id say :whistling:

Gives me a bit of time to get my pressure test done and weld in my point for the boost control pinch.gif

Hoping this turbo has more than the 320kw that some have predicted and considering that it made 312kw with boost pissing out of it while it was trying to pump 22psi down her neck so im hoping to see 330kw at least! Or maybe im dreaming haha but bring on near 350 i say!:thanks:

I reckon 335rwkw @ 25psi plus with all the problems sorted out :P

PS your pipework looks awesome. Wish I could do that!

Id be happy with 335kw lol hoping this pipework helps boost and throttle response as i think those boost leaks may have been hindering my response

Thanks Justo keen to start doing more work like this i enjoy it :thumbsup:

Hows ya ride coming along?

Thanks mate yeah bit the bullet and got rid of that ugly crap haha for sure mate always keen for a chat with a fellow enthusiast :)

Looks good Mick.. so glad you did away with that half peeled spongey crap piping.. Ill probably be working or hanging out at unigroup on friday arvo so be sure to say hi!

Not much progress unfortunately, crank is back at the crank place getting the crank collar fitted. Should have done it in the first place. :pirate:

Hey Mick_o, are you still running the "small can" 14psi actuator, or did you end up changing to the 18 or 19psi big can one?

Thanks sarge thats not actually a bad idea! Never even considered running it that way as i had my mind set on shortening up that pipe as much as possible but i like the idea of keeping the pipework outta the heat i think what ive done with my pipework would be less prone to heat soak as im nowhere near the radiator and there is less pipework directly over the top of the engine which should help keep intake temps down imo

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
