I think a lot of people throw parts in without testing or understanding what the bottlenecks are so you might find that a good turbo/head combo is worth more than displacement as the bottle neck is the head flow at this power. 

Not saying capacity won't help, but might not show its true potential til later in the power game. 

Tao was schooling me on the CA as I had some ideas and he basically told me flat, do nothing else until you put cams in it as that's what stops them breathing beyond what a T28 is capable of. 

Pays to listen to experts, sometimes. 

Fantastic result dude :D

Pauls head is something else :)  I do mean the one on his 33 not your normal head job , can't wait for the final tune next week :521_rocket:

goes to show most forum warriors have no idea what theyre talking about....f**k twins & f**k not polishing the ports.

NAPREC know what theyre doing when it comes to getting big numbers out of heads

my NAPREC prepped SR head has tolerances to within 1 thou....fkn precise. my engine builder said its some of the best machining he has ever come across....and he's built plenty of 1000hp+ drag motors.

Well to be fair precision is literally in the name

Piggaz give us a run down on the engine again? Cheers

I'll be back when you stop f**king around with that baby turbo and get a 9180 on there, or even maybe a 9174 if you want to be soft  :9_innocent:

300rwkw at 4000rpm is about double (plus some) power that time makes so it's not exactly like you need that much grunt that low :)

A 9174 would just make the EGP pressure issue worse and in my mind it seems like a bit of a GT RS shit going on. Not that it's horrendously bad (It wouldn't be no twin buttplug pressures), That's NOT a fix. Maybe beccause it's actually being monitored and having all the data there it becomes " an issue". Not just being ignorant and "she'll be right" Being realistic, a 460-500 KW GTR is no slouch. Much more and you start going down the driveline busting bullshit again. The whole idea of this was to make it more reliable and have the engine happier. If you want to fund a 9180, I wont say no :6_smile:

I just drove it and to describe it in one word, DUMB!

It makes an absolute mockery of the -5's...there is NO downside. Breathe on the throttle and it's just soooooo zingy. Between gears (I was still clutching in between shifts as it was sensory overload) there is NO lag. "Twins for response"... pfft. It's all the stuff that a WOT dyno run doesn't show thats the standout. It's ready to go at almost any RPM. So lively and peppy!

The plan is to run it up tomorrow on E85 and see what it spits out. Scott did say depending on what it's doing, he may sacrifice a bit of top end and taper the boost back up high to extend the power band. Scott is going to SEMA so if he can grab a 1.45 AR rear housing we will put that on and advance the intake came to bump up the low end. Can't advance the intake at the moment (still set to 0/0) as even now Scott is holding the turbo back down low. Really, even if I lost a tad it wouldn't be a great deal anyway.

Exhaust is nice and quiet, even when up it.

Going by the temps we are seeing before and after the compressor, its more than happy and have some left up our sleeve. Turbine speed will be wired in tomorrow (were waiting for a plug).

Gearbox is still pissing out oil!!!!! I need to make a catch can that drains back to the filler plug. Frustration level's 10/10!

I forgot how cranky the bloody diff was when cold! It needs a wheel alignment before I get it back, it's all over the shop!

I rolled it on in 3rd and no problem having the wheels chirp in a straight line. 

Driving a sequential without a gear display is bloody interesting also. The display powers up but because we have changed the gear position sensor it no longer reads. Will fix!

*Yawn*

Is this ~still~ going on?     EFR Turbos are so last year you know...   ;)

(good to see you finally pull your finger out geesus, the car must need new air in the tyres by now....)

this build is the real f**king deal.... no half ass shortcuts taken here

true RB gunner.....built with the best fruit on the market......

enjoy the ride brother

im sure this will leave the 80s F1 SKOLA tune in the dust HAHA

Not really. The Lancer on a cold night was starting to get exciting!! Now it's warming up, the AC is back on. It's a nug now :(.

You got a date?

Yeah , 26/9/17;  E85 tune and THE END !   

ish

Well there is the Vcam  to cram in there and maybe a 1.45 , oh a 9180 could fit  in there somewhere and ??? 

Just go to Insight pick up the car after work tomorrow , get all the information and post it  :)

Not about mine.

Yours!

Pick up for mine is sometime this week. Needs a wheel alignment before it goes anywhere! 

bring it out and we can compare how good a 8374 can really be with a solid motor.

am really keen to feel the difference 

I tend to find people are a lot more willing to discuss their results and testing in PM.

Easy to think that might be an ego thing but from what I see around here I'd say it's mostly about minimising the drama they have to deal with.

I'm voting yes for thread equality...

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
