Hey Piggaz, just admiring your work so far.

Just wondering how much of that heat wrap you used on the manifold.

Looks like 1" ....around 70-80 meters??

I was looking at heatshield inferno stuff, what sort is yours?

Nice downpipe too!

cheers

Hey mate.

I used the DEI titanium 1 inch. Two rolls would do it, I messed up and my first runner I cut it too short. In the end I bought three rolls (50 foot) but only used 2 1/3rd or so. Lesson learnt, don't cut it, haha. I did wrap it quite "tight", so I overlapped it more than I should/could have. It took me about 7 hours to do all up but I was being super super fussy. I grabbed 100 foot of the 2 inch for the dump and gate lines. That should be enough hopefully.

Thanks for the info, I looked at that stuff too and all the "should I shouldn't I wrap arguments" around the blogs. Some experts are dead against it but at the end of the day the hotter and faster it hits the turbine wheel the better plus a bit cooler in the engine bay.

I went and bought an EFR8374 IWG .92 and will put a 3.5" downpipe ( cat back is 90mm ) which I will wrap in that inferno stuff as well.

7 hours is a long time I guess you did it in stages with a mask I hope, god know what it does to ones lungs.

Was thinking of a flexible joint also. Not sure where you got yours but i have been getting pretty much everything from this site in the US apart from the turbo and manifold.

http://www.verociousmotorsports.com/ 3 1/2 pipe bends/transition for the dump and hoses etc etc great site fast and reasonable freight.

Bought a PTP turbo blanket of this outfit http://ptpturboblankets.com/EFR-Turbo-Blanket.html hope it hangs together.

Anyway looking forward to your progress and results

Cheers

That DEI wrap is not like your conventional "fibreglass" style wrap. I did the whole of my manifold with no itch or glass in fingers. It's like wrapping with cotton in that regard. Absolutely fantastic!

My Flexi I got from summit racing. http://m.summitracing.com/search/product-line/vibrant-performance-turboflex-couplings

They had them in stock and only took 5 or 6 days from order to having it in my hands. Every bloke that is running I single I asked if they were running a Flexi in the dump and no one is. It definitely can't hurt, the engine does move around a fair bit.

Good to know. I was dreading wrapping my pipes for this exact reason. Will look into this product. Thanks

I'd like to reserve my spot for a ride. 12kg (or was it 10kg?) springs + OS88.

14 front

9 rear

Not yet Pete. Hopefully have another chip at it this weekend. It isn't in a "shop" as such.

In other news, my second gate is in the post. Woo!

Coming soon.....We will be on the job again this weekend hopefully! Should have the gate lines ran and plumbed into the dump... If not we will drink bulk piss and eat 800g steaks with all the trimmings to celebrate regardless of how far we get!

Skidz?

  • 4 weeks later...

For the sake of an update... An update.

Gates are on. Gate waste pipes are done for the most part. I put an 18.85 psi Spring combination in, mostly due to peer pressure (looking at you Micko)!! I was thinking 17.45.

Hypertune are doing some coolers on an R35 ATM and should be done hopefully next week. When ever it's done, I'm going in. That will be to fit up the cooler (no stock brackets line up anymore) and turbo to plenum piping done. Wiggins clamps (blown cooler pipes will be a distant memory) will be used on all joins apart from where it meets the manifold. I am not pulling that Nismo plenum off in the car. It's 15 times more painful to pull off than a stock one. If ever the motor is out, I'll put one on then.

Surge tank design is pretty much confirmed.

Really, the only thing missing from the puzzle is injectors but with the dollar, I'm putting off that purchase till when I need them.

The other week Reaper was around with his 8374 snailed NUR. It should go damn well on the stroker! Also, another mate is putting one on a 3.0 so it should make for a decent comparison.

    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
