Hi Guys,

First of all i know the questions regarding these motors are all over the site, But none seem to have the information im after at the moment!

Quick run down, Car is being restored at the moment and im not dropping a stock motor back into the car.

My current spec list of the engine is

Holset HX35 Twinscroll 12cm housing

6Boost Top mount twinscroll manifold

Greddy copy inlet/HKS copy Rail

750cc Injectors (Still unsure on what to go for)

3.5" Exhaust

I will be using a Link G4 Or Haltech ECU,Fuel wil be 99RON V-Power.

For my goal of around 500HP ATF, Or possibly 450WHP say, Everyone i have spoke to says keep my immaculate bone stock block and leave it be. Dont open it if i dont have too.

Other reports say the compression is too high (9.1 Isnt high though surely??) And you need a good free flowing setup to minimize back pressure (Again as i have, Apart from say cams??)

One part of me says leave it be, and if i come into knock problems i will rebuild the head, fit cams and ARPs, MLS Gasket.

Compression wise also surely fitting just a thicker gasket will ruin the stock quench pads ability to prevent knock to some extent am i right?

What are peoples opinions on this?

Car wont be dragged, Rarely if ever tracked, Will be purely road use.

R34GeeTeeTees motor is pushing out incredible figures, and still stock block barring head changes yes?

Thanks

Toff

There is a guy running 760hp on the stock bottom end of a neo here in WA. If it is timed/tuned and maintained properly, your 450 will be fine.

I think what they are referring to about "free flowing" is the intake and exhaust. You will need a decent intake pod filter and a hi flow exhaust to make sure it can breathe because I believe the hx35 flow around the same as the gt35.

You will need to upgrade your fuel pump as well.

By near stock everything i mean the block. Everything from intake to exhaust will be new (Ie Greddy plenum, 6Boost mani,3Inch exhaust, Haltech ecu, Upgraded fuel pump, injectors, Intercooler,Custom intake, Etc etc etc)

Only thing left stock is the block.

Sorry for not explaining myself properly, All supporting mods will be there!

And thanks sleptema, 760HP On stock bottom end is insane, Have you got a link to that mate?

On that note also i have found these injectors, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201145001596?_trksid=p2060778.m2763.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

What do people think? If i could get a set of say Deatchwerks (600cc) And a matching fuel pump i would rather do that, But these seem ideal if they fit the larger greddy plenum injector locations. Stock NEO Injectors are too short by approx 10mm, So i could mabye shorten the spacers and fit larger washers to compensate for the locators but would rather not...

Thanks

By near stock everything i mean the block.

By "near stock everything" I meant, bottom end, top end, inlet and exhaust manifolds, and damn near the turbo too (as in, a decent Hypergear highflow is able to approach that sort of power!).

As to injectors, any matched set of NEW Bosch 1000cc or bigger injectors, in whatever length and o-ring size you need, will do the job. Stainless ones are the best for E85, but the older ones still go alright. Look up Scotty on here (search for Xspurt injectors) for someone (in Australia, not the UK) that you could buy from fairly easily if you want someone who damned well knows what works.

Your in the UK yeah, have you looked at the Syvecs S6, much better ECU then the Haltech and you have the joy of having Ryan G from Syvecs and Paul Blamire of Zen performance as a local tuners who knows that ECU inside out

Also ID1000s with a Walbro 460 as an intank would take care of all your feeling needs

Price up a Walbro 255 and 600cc injectors then price up the Walbro 460 and 1000cc injectors, for whatever extra if any it would be worth it to cover any future mods

Fishing meaddifore comith, my uncle once told me plenty of people catch of little fish on a big rig but very few people catch big fish on little rigs :thumbsup:

Sorry mate i didnt really think about what you said haha, Thanks for that mate. 1000ccs will be plenty of headroom, But will i need injectors that big?Surely bigger isnt better in the case of injectors? Am i right in thinking i need adapters again for these?

I am in the UK yes, And i considered Syvecs briefly but dismissed it too quickly, Just checked there website and they can build plug and play harnesses, which may be worth looking at over the Haltech/Link options!

And thats good then, was on the lookout for an intank that would flow enough.

umm ....simple 255 intank walbro , 600cc , a decent turbo , 3inch exhaust ,proper clutch and a management of your tuner choice ..no need to touch the moto .... 400-450 easily doable

Would a 255 not be pushing it though to get that sort of power?

Just what i wanted to hear on the engine part!

Hahaha thankyou mate, As commented above surely i would be pushing a 255. 1000cc injectors may be the way to go then!

  • 2 months later...

Little thread bump,

Just on with ordering bits up for the motor (Delayed i know) And currently have:

Thats were im thinking at the moment, Going for the UNOPENED Engine option as its a mint engine currently so no point in splitting it right? If the headgasket goes at a later date (Should it though if tune is correct?) I will have to put one in.

Goal for power is 550Hp At the Fly, so roughly 470Hp ATW, Or 360RWKW thereabouts.

Thanks

Toff

yeah I would personally not get fancy with manifolds and special "race spec turbos", Twin scroll and a GT35ish turbo sounds overkill and if not done right you could end with a dog of a thing when a simple stock manifold and hypergear will guarantee you results. The 3076 is king in your power range, Look up Mafia's thread, the sound is awesome.

Are you using 2 wastegates?

Edited by AngryRB

Thanks for the responses guys.

turbo and manifold I already have, Turbo was cheap at £450 new and there supposed to hit 600hp max so just a tad over my goals.

Need to dig a few dyno graphs/posts out of the turbo, supposed to be very responsive with the spec But we will see.

Will be using 1 large gate as it merges into one at the bottom, turbosmart 50mm perhaps.

what else would you change on it? 100% leaving intermale stock for now.

On the manifold point as well I thought stock was shockingly restrictive at 350rwkw onwards? Hence people killing motor's and hypergear cutting that one up and making a custom one? Twin scroll should bring the boost threshold down too.

For future reference I will put up graphs once the car is finished.

Thanks!

420rwkw (564rwhp)

Std NEO, std manifold externally gated, hyper gear turbo @27psi.

Run 420rwkw on Springy motors dyno and on my dynapack.

Credit to their work, welding is awesome (HAVOC fabrication)

id1000cc (increased base pressure)

dual walbro 400 pumps

std cams and springs

Hypergear ATR45SAT

splitfires would not hold up but D514a work fine at 0.8mm

Haltech plat Pro with wideband and flex sensor.

E85

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
