Update time! Engine is running again and I changed a few things up while it was apart:

  • Switched to a Hall Effect setup for timing, very similar to the setup @HarrisRacing has (Thanks again for the clarification on the wiring mate)
  • Running a Holset HX40 from TurboLab instead of the ProBoost GTX35
  • Had the head ported while it was off
  • Degreed the cams
  • Drilled out the oil drains to 10mm
  • Made a swirl port and larger header tank
  • Working speedo and a battery isolator
  • Threw in a NPC clutch

Heaps of other little things went on but those were the big time killers. Anyway, onto the pics

 

Before fitting the new pump I picked up a busted one for free, which I used as a template to make a bracket for the crank trigger (busted pump not in pics)

Took a couple goes to line everything up and still have it clear the balancer, but I got there eventually

Tapped a M12 x 1.0 thread into the left support bracket, and just using the 2 supplied slim nuts on the other; all with Loctite.

That 12T wheel is from Hi Octane Racing

About 2-3mm clearance for the balancer at the closest point

The guts of a gutted and free CAS housing rocking a GT101 sensor

Managed to use all of the existing bolt holes to secure the sensor itself and fitted the other one just to keep water and whatever else out.

Only needed a bit of smoothing out with the die grinder to get it to sit level. Then chopped up a bit of 6mm plastic to secure the body of the sensor and clamp everything down; again Loctite on everything.

Didn't really get any pics of the bolts on the cam but it's basically the same as Harris.

Grinded down the standard bolts, then got a longer M7 bolt and spaced it out with one M7 nut and 2 (from memory) 1mm washers. All with Loctite and also grinded the bolt face smooth so the letters aren't causing dramas.

More for my reference but I'm sure someone else might find this handy.

Header tank and swirl pot ready for paint. Already made the brackets and made sure they'd fit, also leak checked.

These were more of a welding practice project but I'm happy with how they turned out.

Fair bit bigger than the little cylinder ebay items and used all the available space without going too crazy. I have all the dimensions for this if anyone wants them.

Swirl pot sitting pretty too. Does clear the bonnet, but only just haha

Using a Acewell 3100 dash for tacho and speedo, this is the supplied speedo sensor fitted up off the tailshaft centre bearing.

Had to cut and tap a sleeve for the magnet to sit in, probably would have flung off otherwise.

Got it to within 5k's for the moment, will dial it in a bit more at the next track day.

Holset HX40 sits very nice in the bay, only needed to change the oil drain a tiny bit for it to fit up

Most of the hard work done

Finally fitting up the BOV, welds slowly improving too :)

WP_20171011_13_27_33_Rich.thumb.jpg.6a2edf783680c1954e27cf48ee447aa2.jpg

 

All finished!

For now anyway

Thanks :)
Works a treat and can't complain for only $400

Basically the closeness of the turbine blades to the housing is what grabbed my interest, the old turbo had an easy 5mm gap. See vid below for what I mean.
A few other things went into my decision but compared to the old turbo, this Holset is better all round.

 

 

Old setup on the left, new on the right.

Boost coming along a lot earlier despite the turbos being very similar in wheel sizes.
Admittedly the head being ported would have had an impact in this as well, but not nearly 1000rpm worth.

Also the hall effect sensors have visibly cleaned up the power curve.
FYI, I rate PITS and ASG very highly. This pic is not about comparing the 2 shops, simply observing the difference in engine behaviour between my 2 setups.

Looks good! But are you going to screw more into it? If not why such a big turbo for power a gt30 can easily make with a lot better response?

Edited by klutched

It's all set for E85, so once I commit to that it will really shine
But at the moment going to E85 is a bit of a pain and I'd like to have a better clutch and the GTR rear end fitted ahead of time, which is more money and time.
I just want to drive the thing again for now

Hey mate just on the diff ratio youre using, does it feel spot on or do you think something a touch shorter like a 3.7 would be perfect? Im about to put a cd009 in my rb25 r32, from what iv read the gearbox ratios are nearly the same as an r34 gtr 6 speed and they use a 3.54 diff ratio i believe

Spelling error

Yeah a 3.7 or 3.6 will definitely be the sweet spot for it IMO

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
