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

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
