Good progress.

Not sure if this is a silly question... but because your ECU, AFM, turbo, injectors, cams etc. are all remaining, will you need to get a new tune?

(but you'll obviously get one eventually to ramp up boost and break 300kw)

Super spaghetti manifold :P Brae does some awesome work ;)

A bit better than my other china manifold :/

Even though its heat coated I will also heat wrap it, and maybe also put a heat shield over it

Probably isn't really necessary. Since all supporting mods are essentially the same.

Will still be doing a re-tune though.

Previously made 280rwkw. 20 psi dropping down to ~16psi.

Have now got a stronger actuator off Stao and have been advised that the max psi prob is ~23psi.

So will be going for 23psi and hoping only a few psi drop off at redline.

In saying all this with the amount of work done to the head I have been advised that my engine might be too much for my little turbo. Something about the engine overspeeding the turbo or something from memory

So will be interesting what power it will make.

Yep, If you find the thread with Marks low mount TS 6Boost, there are some good pics of the heat sheilds on there! They look pretty stealth!

And yep, i would be retuning or touch up tune with ANY change ;)

We'll I thought the motor would be finished by next week

But its actually going to finish today lol!

Small update

Bit of cosmetic changes and trial fitment.

Over the next few weeks when we have time it will go back in the car

I was about to say "Y U NO COAT ENGINE???" But then saw this! Nailed it! Epic manifold from Brenton :thumbsup:

So sorry to hear about your car getting stolen and treated the way it was.

But hey! Things are looking good now, your build is bloody awesome and can't wait to see it finished and see you out at Sandown and Winton :)

Man what a mad build! Love it :D

Thanks guys!

Minor update before the motor goes in:

I remembered how much of a pain in the arse the standard water lines to the turbo were to fit on a aftermarket turbo.

So the workshop made some braided water lines with speedflow fittings:

Old water line vs new

Test fitment

 

I may also be keen for a set. I purchased some Kando lines but they use banjo bolts and it really doesn't work well at all. Yours look like they screw into the block directly rather than use a banjo bolt.

How much would a set of those lines set me back? PM if you want.

do like those water lines.

Yeah they do look quite nice :D Makes a turbo install much easier too!

Just the cost of the parts was ~$120 for 7 speedflow fittings and $27 p/m for the hose used. Used about 1,5m. These are quality parts too, not a yum cha brand.

There is a fitting that gets screwed to the the block, and then the line connects that that fitting. Perfect fitment

If you guys would like some I can see if he will make some for you lot :thumbsup:

Cost will depend on the fittings you need though

I'm definitely keen, not right now but in the near future. Would need whatever the stock turbo uses for now so makes it easy enough, your highflow would use the same fittings?

No worries!

Pretty sure it's the same fittings, as I was using the stock water line fittings on the Ss2 turbo when I had it on

I would also be down for a set for sure, do speedflow do black fittings, as the blue and red anodized look nice but easy for the cops to pick up on, i would rather keep everything stealth if possible! I checked with Stao and yes the highflows use the same size fittings as the standard turbo so myself and Miguelone would need exactly the same fittings as yourself.

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
