running yet or you doing a bobby on us

cut bobby some slack ... he is doing what's never been done before & is following the laws of joule thomson effects....

apparently his tune is gonna be f1 spec which is why its taking so long :laugh:

Hopefully goes to Hypertune tomorrow for turbo to plenum piping but I've heard that before!

Yeah yeah, turns out the rear turbo was cactus anyway. 5000 kms. Spose they didn't like to be run so hard so either way the turbos were coming off. Oil all through the dump.

Have you forgot already that you actually removed that one thing that may we'll have saved your rear turbo from leaking oil.

It's actually very critical that you don't oversupply oil pressure to the cartridge on ball bearing turbos when running a high volume oil pump.

I actually recall you saying you had the HKS .8mm restrictor years ago, but you ran the 1.2mm one with your big oil pump.

The result is that you expired a turbo very quickly from over pressurising your ball bearing cartridge with oil pressure which was meant to be drip-fed.

Common issue when running a larger oil pump.

Not really the Turbo's fault[emoji19]

Finally, an update.

Car was dropped off at Hypertune on Friday for the cooler mount up, turbo to plenum piping and a few other bits and bobs.

Sneak peak at what they do to guide the air into the runners. Core measures 680 x 325 x 100.

Cooler mounted up.

I'll have a few more photo's on pick up.

What are u doing with the BOVs

All the factory stuff got ripped out. The EFR has one on the compressor housing. I bought the Turbosmart kompact EFR version. Directs the pressurised air back at the comp wheel.

Clean, neat, simple.

It's not shown in those photos because Hypertune pulled it off to weld the 90 on the comp housing.

Few pics from today. They put a bung for an aftermarket air temp sensor just before it pops back into the engine bay. Do away with the "engine bay sensor" on the plenum. Pipes from snail to the guard and guard to plenum will be black. No clamp on the plenum, it would have meant it had to be removed, no thanks!

Donut and launch videos not loading???

Haha excellent build, cant wait to see how the efr goes and what it sounds like!!

Thanks mate! I'm getting rather itchy myself :P.

I can imagine!!

Pipework looks awesome!!! Wiggins clamps?

Yeah, Wiggins. 5 in total. Blown cooler pipes are no longer (unless the plenum one pops). No more taking front bars off!

Thinking about painting the airbox black, cutting a hole in the top of it and using the factory airbox snorkel to feed the box too. Can't hurt!?

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
