I wouldn't know Jez from a bar of soap, but if he is using shit products like cheap single layer gaskets on a high end build like this I thought I would comment.

......sorry I thought this was a forum?

Hi Chris, cars on the Dyno line up , so all good . Offered him $10 to push it up the line, something was mentioned about tight arse :O

I have no idea why the gasket was on the mani , maybe to protect the surface , he uses Silicone for this job, I did not know you could use Silicone under such extreme heat :blush: That RTV seems to be able to handle :devil:

Once you feel the E85 tune, i predict you'll be storing it up in 200L drums, even a 50% mix is probably heaps better for your setup than 98...

Paul has told me this a 1000 times, I will have to buy a trailer and pop a Tbar on the Tiida :)

It was mentioned that the E85 would work great on the setup, I guess if it was local it would be a no brainer as it also seems better for the engine.

It's going to strip a lot of crap from your fuel tank and lines. If it was dirty. And then everything will be squeaky clean.

RTV is the bomb period. Resists oils coolants and heat. Used it on my mates manifold. She was sweet.

He gave the car a run to check for leaks today and all good , so I can stop driving you blokes nuts pretty soon on this thread before the 100, then I can say :quit ur:LOL!

But I am getting nervous about the results, I do not need a lot more and just want it to run sweet and I will be stoked :yes:

I am pretty sure it goes on the Dyno tomorrow, probably fn blow up :bomb_ie:

This is what I am hoping for, keep in mind I asked for everything that could be done with what I have on the car , to go for response. If I cannot get it because of the Turbo or cams I will have them changed but I hope not to have to change anything ?

The car running sweet from turning the key to limiter

Full boost around 3500rpm

Go hard to at least 7000rpm

380KW + on 98 pump

420kw + on E85

It was 900Nm, not sure if that will change

Will I get it, who knows, have not had much luck so far , but there is always tomorrow, well in my case ?? lol

I have 260 10.8 UE custom cams.These are the same as Paul, Joey and a couple of others are using. They have a sharp ramp rate and the boys swear by them but have never been used on a 3.2,so ??

Excited

Both excited and apprehensive :/

Really do not want to put a Dyno up before I actually drive it.

I remember when I changed the cams and turbo on the 2.6 in the earlier days, there was only 7KW more but a much better car to drive. I can read the Dynos a little better now but I like to feel how it drives. Cannot wait to try it :yes:

7 kW peak grunt. Only tells half the story as you found out. What was the difference through the middle? :P

You saw the dynos and you thought it was a lot better after looking at both graphs. It felt pretty good to me , much better than the T78 that did nothing until 6000rpm+

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
