So is a PT6262 a good turbo for this combo? must be a decent size for a 3.2L to take 4000rpm to be spooled.

I hope it does not have to go to 4000rpm to be spooled :(

But I will have to wait to find out how this combo will work in together :/

Pete don't be ridiculous, it'll probably make 300kw at 4 grand so stop worrying :)

Is that all, heap of shit :)

Joey, I know what I expect from the car from what you, Paul and a few others have said, the others have their different opinions and as all of them have more experience with these cars, I cannot push my uneducated opinion and as a bloke that is an optimistic pessimist , I always go for the worst and it gives me more chances to be happy with the end result :)

At the end of the day, when it is done I will know , but i am happy with the run in tune, the clutch :wub: great advice! I can also notice the difference of the drive train, not sure how to explain it, it seems more balanced around the twisty stuff and as you know there are plenty of 35s in this area on an 80 limit road, so I get a little idea of how it is working .

Good to see you have it back and hopefully I will get to see it when final tune is done, would be nice to compair side by side with my 3.0 34

It will improve a good amount when they start playing with cam timing, if there is something CRD do well its cam timing, I still use the settings they did on my 32 from 8 years ago and they should have learnt more since then

Dave was pointing out the rev limit is to be set to 80,000rpm :)

Hi Mick, all good

From what you have said before to me and on other posts I felt happy having CRD do this work, they have always done a good job. I forgive them for the other shit :wub:

It is good to hear what you think about their cam timing abilities and your experience with them.

80,000rpm, :) WHOOOOOPS MISSED THAT :yes::rolleyes: those pesky "O" do not look like much, but :woot:

vids of beast starting and brief drive??? :yes: 3.2L of goodness

Not much of a beast at the moment, like it has a hand tied behind its turbo.

I was surprised at the difference the .6Lt made to how the car runs at low rpms, that was one of the results achieved , just have to wait for the rest.

I will do something after the final tune , do a vid and graphs.

Maybe have to get the support strut modified or get a slimmer type to fit as the motor height has altered, I think he said about 38mm after some engine mount modifications.

Couple of pics of the donk, as you can see no tower/strut brace

Not one of the pretty builds that are full of detail, just basic but as long as I get my results, who cares :)

Looks very clean pete, I'd be happy with how it looks

just see if we can get the or another strut to fit, maybe it is not needed ??

Jim said they do not always put them back on ?????

Most likely custom strut brace which is what i have to do and i lowered the subframe by 8mm, needed depends on use of car, i like to track mine so its needed for me

The deckhieght on the RB30 block is 38mm higher then the RB26

I thought he said they lowered the mounts by 12mm or 18mm, not sure, but think he said it was still about 38mm higher .

I had made a tray system to stop the water going over the motor through the vents of the Z-tune type bonnet, the idea of water pissing all over the motor just seems dumb to me, so he had to cut a small section out of it to close the bonnet, easy to fix and does not affect it anyway, just have to do a few tests to see what happens with the water now if it is pissing down.

The photo shows the rain tray and the old strut brace

They are going to see what they can do with the strut when I go in for the final tune and if they cannot use the original one I will hunt one up. Seen a few flat types that should do the job.

Are you saying there are custom strut braces for these builds, if I need one where can I get it ?

A decent fab shop should be able to make you one up Pete

I'm sure someone can recommend a shop close to you

Measure the strut position this morning and it is OK, 3 inch clearance. The strut can go under the water hoses and I will have to modify the water tray to go over the hoses, DONE, well maybe , lol

    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
