Post some pics when you've finished? The work you have done sounds top notch. Wouldn't expect anything else after seeing the engine fit and engine bay pics. You're a animal!

quick diagram of it. the only thing that isnt complete is fitting the ducting from the ceiling enclosure to the bedrooms. i was thinking about using 100mm stormwater pipe to each room but now im after 100mm steel piping to use instead.

Insane. The tubing system should be 0.7mm s/s crimped and swaged. Dual 45* off the main flu would be better than a 90* t piece for draw. If it's running off at 90*. A dogs leg in the insulated flu section would help the heat stay downstairs and run off to the rooms better. The storm water pipe would melt and should never be used for this application off a wood heater. 0.7 s/s crimped and swaged inside insulated through the walls and roof. The storm water pipe would only be good for a reverse cycle system and is totally inappropriate for a wood heater.

when i tested last season the enclosure temp was only 40C max. now that the bottom section isnt insulated the temp is much higher and i have to change to steel. 

 

where can i get 100mm steel pipes at a reasonable price? think gutter down pipe is only 70mm.... flue piping is probably too expensive....ideas?

We have m.s.t. and s.s.t. at work it's 101.6 mm o/d (4") and 1.6 mm or 16# thick (for exhaust systems) 70mm would be 2 3/4" o/d. And the same thickness. Most stuff to do with heating and flues is 304 s/s 0.7mm thick because of its heat transfer properties. We sell it by the metre in s/s and m/s at work (the 16#) If you know what you want and let me know will be cost price:-) or Jarrahdale heating and cooling or perhaps kounis metal industries have the crimped lapped and swaged 0.7mm at God only knows what price. Will post a pic of the 0.7 crimped and swaged from my heater.

cheers, a rough price on mst 4" would be good thanks. no idea how much i need yet but say 20metres at a guess

just found stratco sells zinc downpipes in 10 different sizes including 100mm. i dare say it will be pretty cheap as its so thin 0.4 or 0.5mm

Perfect would be way cheaper than s/s or a heavier guage. The zincalume will last for ever indoors.

Maybe just get one length check how hot it gets? you could lag it where it's near wood gyprock etc. With needle felt fibre glass or the fibreglass roll tape stuff. Or anything else that is itchy. Man I hate lagging stuff up.

due to smaller ventilation holes to the top, plus the top section being an insulated flue the absolute max i would expect coming out of the enclosure is 60C and could possibly be only 50C. id rather have metal pipe from the enclosure down to the fans but it shouldnt be that hot that i need to keep it away from timber etc...

 

as always i test very thoroughly and i will know the actual temp next days off and build it with a higher than actual temp spec in mind

yeah i thought it would prob be cheaper. thanks anyway

Salvage yard if stratco arent cost effective?

What about the silver foil backed stuff for under metal roofing?

@Hank Scorpio recommended camber arms brands? Thinking of getting F&R set for the 36 but not sure if the cost of getting it is of any benefit lol

I like Japanese stuff, Cusco and Kazama are always good.

This stuff, would just need to use foil tape to seal it around the pipework.

Looks very itchy so would do the trick.

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
