Will be running a 6boost twin scroll manifold.. I'm not to fussed about the exhaust housing size, with the head mods and dual wastegates ect. I think it'll come on boost the same as my -5's...

Hey guys, Sorry I said I'd update this on the weekend, but I guess I was just lazy/to busy trying to put this engine back together...

Okay, so I have finally picked up the engine from Tony and it looks great!! :wub:

The only issue is that the drain at the back of the head isn't one of those alloy block ones, it's just a areo fitting bent into a 90* bend. It's probably a 5" diameter bend so it's going to need to be changed for a smaller one so it will clear the firewall..

I took the engine over to BoostWorx thisarvo to get put back into the car.. On my way there I picked up a new Xtreme Carbon Twin Plate Clutch with Cromoly Flywheel so now it will be able to handle the 450awkw that she'll be packing haha :3some:

Cant wait to have her back!!

Hey guys, picked up the turbo and manifold today do I'll post up pics tonight, looks sexual haha

Everything is coming together..

I need a bigger fire place so all the cash I'm burning on this will fit hahaha

Hey guys, sorry I haven't updated in a while, I've been busy moving house and trying to organize this thing at the same time haha..

Well, I went over to BoostWorx yesturday to have a look and I must say what an excellent job they have done, the amount of work they have done in the last two weeks is amazing!!

Engine is in, turbo is on, clutch and all fluids are done!!

So while I was there, it was time for the first start up.. Always an exciting time!!

The engine turned over, and over, and over but didn't fire... Just a few splutters from the exhaust!

Turned out the the insert to be pressed into the front of the exhaust cam to turn the cam angle sensor wasn't installed from CamTech.. This ment the senors wasn't turning and the timing wasn't ever going to work..

I got straight onto Tony to see what we could do. He called CamTech and sorted out a R32 insert to go in and a R32 cam angle sensor, should be here today and 11am. Hopefully, the car is started and a basic tune done by this arfternoon :) WIN!!

I'll post photos of the engine bay and progress tonight..

Wtf was that... Damn iPhone.

Can't wait to hear your result Brad

Yeah cheers mate, can't wait to get her back on the road, hoping for 450awkw on E85.. Should get there haha

Soooo, quick update!!!

Engine runs!! However, there is an oil leek at the front crank seal and also a little one at the rear main seal.. Engine is literally brand new so must have been a kink in the gasket when it was put together or something..

Shaun is fixing the leak this week and is going to bed the engine in on the dyno next week.. Can't wait to see some results

  • 3 weeks later...

Hey guys, so today the engine ran properly for the first time..

It ran for 40kms doing some basic bed in things and then got its run in tune;

279kw @ 9psi 8000rpm

Boost pulls as early as 3000 rpm!!

I'm so happy with the figure, it's more responsive then my -5's on my standard motor... With E85 and 28psi I think an easy 500awkw is achievable..

Who ever said you can't have power and response??

Cheers

    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
    • EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
