Lots of fine work going on there!

Not one to nitpick but your turbo cooling outlet goes up and down and back up again.

When you shut of the engine it will not thermal syphon and will boil (gas up) and not pull the heat out of the cartridge, rather than circulate .

I plumbed mine back into the top tank of the radiator so the turbo outlet is slightly lower than the tank inlet.

As long as its flowing uphill it will work.

Just a thought!

More work on the fuel system. I found a level gauge that is the same range as stock and only 1" shorter in height so I'm good with the level being off a bit. New design will have a 460 sucking off bottom and filling the new sump. This new sump has the 2 PWM fuel pumps in it and now everything in the tank is pulse width modulated.

HOLY SMOKES!

Need to bring plug gap down because It's breaking up at 24-25 psig but DAMN!!! I'm SO close to 700!

It was 41 deg F tonight and I think the cold air was making it break up where it didn't the other day (was 67 deg F). But wow when the weather clears up I can not wait to drive it!

Boom. Gapped these BCPR8ES plugs down to .021" and fixed the misfire totally. These are back to back pulls from 22 up to 26 psi boost!

 

Yes through a stock intercooler and through only 3" exhaust with a .92 IWG 8384 EFR.

 

Should be noted it's like 37 deg F in the shop tonight.

 

I can't wait to drive it. This crushes my old numbers. These ID1300s are almost maxxed though.20171208_195051.thumb.jpg.d2f41fa5cd30be68f8fe17da7075a123.jpg

She had a good run... another classic to the big racetrack in the sky. Miraculously survived the crash with only 2 fractured vertebrae. :(

Sounds very disheartening. What happened?

f**k mate....sorry to hear Pat.....

would be heartbreaking after all the $$ pumped into that thing not to mention topping it off with fractured vertebrae

any plans to get a new one  & transfer the gear over?? or will you be calling it a day and getting something else?

Thinking...time attack. Maybe the only thing the wife will be on board with. I won't be doing any physical car work for a couple months at least.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
