Disregard lol

Yes it should be quite responsive Dale, i was considering upgrading to the bigger rear housing but to be honest im over spending money and i just want to drive the thing.. I think the result is going to blow the 2.6 set up out of the water

perfomance should be increased by

2.9 stroker

compression bumped to 9.1 from stock

More responsive cams

Port work with standard sized valves to maintain airspeed

Much better valve springs (ferrea Dual valve springs) old ones were slinkys

Ceramic coated entire exhaust side

Engine is ready for pick up, just waiting on exhaust pick up

haha i could have the engine in by next week... but then it could be at the mod shop for up to a month (large variable) haha

it needs a couple of small repairs done and a run in Tune. The run in tune wont take Yavuz long... Go and drive it for a day straight (Nato runs) , bring it back in for full tune hahah

Meh what rubbish, throw a bit of boost into it on the dyno with some load.. Tune it

drive it around (not highway ks, you need to load the engine up)... keep the RPm reasonable

we did Pauls car in 2 days from memory *Drives with brakes on hahah

They tell me at CRD to take as long as I can to run it in but drive it normal. Not sure what boost will be on it, not much I guess ?

Did they build the engine? Usually its a safe guard for the tuner if they haven't built assembled it themselves.

The longer you run it in, the longer it lasts generally, but who is really expecting 100 000kms from a built motor.

Joey, after tune I ran the boat in at the drags, seemed to work well, LOL.

From my understanding the motor is run in within the first 20 minutes of running hence why it is so important to get some power into it asap.

Isn't it all just about getting the honing on the bore sorted to get the seal?

Yep that's about right Mark.. I've seen engines that are baby'd just pissing out oil. The. Got put on the dyno for 15 min with some load and boost and the blow by nearly stopped all together.

I believe the contributing factor these days is the precision in piston ring manufacturing.

FMW = Forged Milled Wheel in B-W speak. So billet compressor.

I've found getting a good seal in the bores can take much more than 15mins on the dyno, especially when using chrome rings. A good flogging with plenty of combustion pressures pushing the rings out, and a mineral oil helped mine immensely.

Mine was driven for 2000km - nothing over 5000rpm on highway and NZ open roads (which are not straight). Put it on the dyno gave it boost and absolutely no blow by. All in the engineering job I say.

And I am glad this thread came up I was thinking of upgrading to a single BW turbo (ditching the -5's).

Might be a good idea.

Its thread's/vids like these that get me excited for my build. Btw the car looks great. My understanding was that a 2.9 stroker would make the walls of the block too thin.. is that bs? What width piston are you using?

It's a 79.3 mm stroke with 86.5 or 87 mm pistons. Not sure if Joey had to go to the next size.

Using a custom 87mm piston with a heightened pin location to allow for a longer rod (off the shelf) and better rod/stroke ratio. There was a small worry about having to make clearance at the base of the bore for the extra throw but after a trial assembly it cleared easily

Its a bit under 2.9L atm, but with an 88 mm piston its damn close. I kept to the 87mm cause im trying to make it last as long as possible

an 88 has been done many times before though :)

I have a graph of 2 very similar setups, one with a BW 83/75 and one with -5's

Take a guess who smoked who haha

    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
