I didnt know you could fit skyline pumps in small nissans. I heard someone "say" a pulsar had a GTR pump, but I didnt believe them. Please post pics when you can.

Also, just come to calder tonight with me and Artz. I gotta drive to hampton park to pick him up anyway. more the merrier.

no can do bud. but if you at scottys between 5 and 7 ill see you there!

only thing you have to do to fit skyline pump is file out the neg terminal and bend the pick up back to stop it fouling.

not sure is pulsar is the same, but im pretty sure gtir pump is gtr pump.

scotty fitted up my oil return last night, and is startin the last half meter of exhaust pipe to connect the dump to the cat back..... fingers crossed we can start her up tonight..

didnt get anything done over the weekend, mothers day and doing some fettling to the wifes wrx got in the way.

will try and get it finished by monday...... but could be another week as money is tightish for a few days.

should get a side pipe mocked up while making zorst. just for those special days/DECA.

lulz. 11ty'th person to have said this.

once zaust and coller is mocked up, and i have settled the bill with scottys customs, there shall be a lul where i complete a few things on the wrx.

then i shall be back for tuneage.

however all this opensource tuning stuff with evos and wrx's has piqued my interest....

okay. so got to take the micra for a quick spin last night.

scotty finished the front pipe looks beautiful.... so to recap....

scotty customs manifold to 33gtr turbo, stock dump pipe to scotty customs 2.5inch front pipe, stock 3 inch cat and 2 inch cat back to VAG diesel muffler.

all that is left is intercooler piping and me to fit the cooler up tonight.

have two options so i can use it for a couple of weeks, leave wastgate open and have 1-2psi of boost, or diconnect cooler piping and runa pod filter on intake......

anyway also changed the throttle body to a ga15, much bigger throttle body. and a more reliable afm. in future if found to be a restriction, will simply place rb25 or z32 afm in cooler piping and by pass stock afm.

i originally set my self a budget of 2k for turbo and tune, knowing full well this was a dream.

initial set backs where had with the modified standard manifold not being up to the job and having to go custom, but this was saved by the oem dump fitting perfectly, so money spent, money saved kinda equalled out.

the lengths we went too to save cash is pretty extreme! (leaving sump on to drill return with magnets in it to catch sworf, using 2 different types of oil to flush engine, cutting our own flanges for the manifold, me die grinding the shit out of everything, doing all the shit jobs my self etc etc) cant say enough of a thanks to scotty for this! (inb4 he charges me a ridiculous amount for cooler piping now hahahahahah)

lets just say 2500 isnt dreaming with a tune, and ill have change. sure there is a few 20-30 dollars here and there i havent accounted for, but to say this will be turbo an on the road for 4 grand, after being sat in a wreckers is a miracle. the fact that some turbo builds cost twice that alone, with out the car just shows how cheap ive got things and how good my friends are with coming thru for me.

anyway enough mush we arnt finished yet. ill update after cooler is in. maybe with some videos etc.

Some turbo's cost that much. :P

I tell you mate, the spool sounded very loud with all the pipes off, you may need to be careful on the road, it's fairly obvious it is boosted.

Thread is useless without pics, but have you even taken any? Perhaps if you turned up in the daytime you would have a better chance of getting a few good shots? :P

people who buy these clearly havent been to the jewish school of finance i went too!

haha, yea it sounded mental.... we need to quiet the turbo down...... ideas?!

i have not..... i cant get pics in time! its always dark ten mins after i get there! you should tae some for me :wub:

oh yea, should prob mention, most of this build has happened in the dark after work, as i dont have much free time anymore! we prob could have completed the build in a couple of days if i had no job haha!

I wanna see Palttsy do skids with his meeeeeeecra

If not, my frenchness is going to be much disappoint

I can provide pulsar skids if micra is not up to the task.

or we could do a duet.

thats a great price for Toyota gear especially! is that including the car?

No, just for the turbo conversion.

4EFTE Turbo and manifold.

HDI Cooler kit

4AGZE injectors

Haltech E6X with boost control (full wire up)

LS1 coils with Haltech Ignitor

Oil filter relocator kit

2 1/2 dump with 2inch exhaust

DCS Cushion button clutch

Tacho and boost gauge

Still being wired up, only going to run 10psi so should see 90-100fwkw.

exactly what im aiming for... starlet is 1.3 engine also yes?

fabricator reckons itll pull crazy power..... im not so sure. engine is 300k old...

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
