Finally made a bit of time to work on the car today. Only a small job but it's something ticked off (hopefully....).  I may still have to modify it which is the disadvantage of not doing it while the motor is in the engine bay. Lots easier to work on however! 

My TIG welds are a bit iffy, can tell I haven't done much welding over the last 12 months. Relatively happy with how it turned out, I just hope it works once I plonk it in the car!

Engine is off the engine stand and onto my k-frame trolley. Works a treat!  So easy to move it around the shed. Once I finish what needs to be done to the gearbox I can bolt it to the engine and finish my little trailing jack dolley that supports the end of the gearbox and helps get the angles right for reinstallation.

Sexual manifold, dat split to the seat of the gate 

Yeah its purdy. Bloody New Zealanders know how to make shit (as do plenty of Aussies).  NZ plays a very big part in my motor for no deliberate reason- sump, inlet manifold,  exhaust manifold, rocker cover fittings, plus some other little bits.

Turbo oil drain fits around the engine mount which is sweet!  Was a touch worried my measurements may be off but all good.

i like that turbo drain, where did you get that one mate?

The flex pipe section is from Aeroflow, the stainless is just 19mm (3/4”) stainless, 2 AN10 stainless weld on fittings welded to each end of the stainless tube, 45 degree swivel fitting onto the block adapter and then an Aeroflow bolt on fitting to the turbo plus associated AN fittings to join it all together!  So in other words it’s a handful of random bits and pieces with a bit of welding, bending and head scratching to make it all come together!

I’ll be firing up the welder I like that better than the braided steel drain line. Not to mention I’m only 10an a little small for turbo drain.

Go the Kiwi's ;) that is the same style manifold i have (same company as well) and it holds boost mint :)

Sweet, good to hear!

As much as we all love to hang shit on the Kiwis I do love them! Some amazing fabricators and tradespeople over there and God do they love thrashing cars!

I've travelled to NZ itself multiple times and travelled with a few Kiwis overseas and had a ball with them. They're similar to Aussies but wierder! 😂😂

Mate, that is coming up a treat, very clean. 
what gearbox did you end up going with? You were looking a gearset options weren’t you? 

Cheers mate. Unfortunately its a long time between treats...

Ended up sticking with the Speedtek gearset despite much (understandable) pressurenot to. Interesting to note that despite all the negativity around them, they really seem to be kicking goals at the moment. They're pumping out some fairly diverse products now.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • 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.
