Kane's Gr34Tr Build

[kaneryan]

No updates as of yet but got some photos of it just chilling

[kaneryan]

so looks like dumps and new front pipe are going on

[kaneryan]

Alrighty so cams and cam gears are all in, along with the N1 Waterpump and new timing belt.

haha and ive been told my car parts are taking up most of the shop... heres half of them!

[kaneryan]

well ive been busy at work and havnt had a chance to update for a while but good and bad news.... good news turbos back on with dumps and front pipes all good to go... bad news is that the ARC Airbox didn't fit with my Greddy intake kit

[kaneryan]

so Now that the ARC Airbox doesn't fit we decided to update the old pod cover as the last one was a bit dodgy looking

AND....... NOW

[kaneryan]

ill be coming home this week from the middle east so ill pop into the tuner and get a heap more photos. I've heard he has a surprise for me .... wonder what it could be!

[nick_7g]

What was the surprise? Hope its all going well?

What made you go with the T51R?

[kaneryan]

well the surprise was a T51R!
it was almost ready to tune but decided to buy the HKS T51R KAI BB as ive always liked the sound and thought its time to put a single and start having some fun!

So tuner had to take off turbos again and put T51R on, its almost done, taking a little bit longer than I expected but needed to fabricate dump pipe, plumb the screamer into the dump pipe, once finished should be wiring in haltech and ready for a tune.

expecting it be finished real soon.

in other news I have a 4000km old twin turbo setup and some parts as you can see that only ever got bolted on and never used all up for sale

more to follow in the next few days

[chindodood]

nice built hehe

[SiR_RB]

awesome !

im following this on facebbok haaaha

[FST513]

Sh!t yeah! T51R i saw Jez post it up. Sounds fat as! Look forward to figures

[kaneryan]

ok guys been a while since I updated my build thread,

so after the T51R went on we made up a nice airbox for it

[kaneryan]

meanwhile whilst the car had to wait for a new pod filter, I decided to go up there and replaced my

ROTA GRID 18x10 +15 with

RAYS TE37TTA 19x10.5 +15 and 275-30-19 FALKEN 452

[kaneryan]

The Car then made its way onto the DYNO where a leak in the inlet manifold gasket was found, so it got replaced with a NITTO Gasket and back on it went.
first was a tune on 98 @ 16psi and made 317kw we left that as the 98 tune as the car was going to be set up with FLEX TUNE and mostly run on E85.
the car then pushed 380kw @ 21.5psi on E85.

[kaneryan]

I also had a look at the difference between my

GT2860-5's - 324kw @ 20psi on 98 - BLUE

VS

HKS T51R KAI BB - 380kw @ 21.5psi on E85 - RED

[kaneryan]

now I added a Carbon Fibre Cooling Panel. to finish off the looks

[kaneryan]

everybody loves pics

[nick_7g]

Great update. How does it feel to dirve vs the -5s? Power and torque curves are interesting.

[kaneryan]

It's a little bit laggy compared to the -5s but you can feel the car build the power and the power delivery is amazing! Compared the 2 the t51 comes on boost later but it still has a feelin of torque in the midrange but it's a lot more dinner to drive and it feels a lot better to drive aswell the power delivery between gears are faster than the -5's overall happy with the decision to change. The twin turbo setup felt lazy and sluggish where the big single feels free and open if that makes sense

[nick_7g]

Cool. always interesting to hear how the car feels vs the dyno considering power and tourque are lower down low...good feedback! Must come on pretty strong!

Good point about performence between gears. I guess the power/torque differential down low isn't an issue between gears because you're in the higher range on shifts so you're net/net higher on both power and torque while you're hammering vs -5s.
