Big 2 days of inspecting cams on dump trucks as they have 20,000 hours and starting to break down often

Yep she's a big girl, have some pics of a dual 10" exhaust and new charge air tubes I made for westrac out at there dyno room. But can't upload them. What were the results? Worn lobes?

Quoted a job for westrac today. Fix all there charge air intercooler box with all new 8" to 7" breeches pieces to 7" tubing off the turbo's for c175-20 engines. Even with massive swages and tripple clamping they are popping the hoses under 32psi boost. We've chased it down to the weekest link which is where the 8" reduces to a 7" breeches piece after the intercooler and into the intake manifolds. Have done 2 x fixes already. Hope we pick up the job. It's a big job that I've honestly quoted. Will be all new tube work and a full new reconfiguration. They are expanding size from the turbo's to the intercooler, but reducing too much on the way back to the manifolds. So far as I'm concerned. I've suggested 3 x fixes but in reality it needs all new tubing. I love working with the guys at westrac, they know there stuff. Which makes my job easier.

Can even be related back to the skyline. Turbo outlet is 2" I/d and 2 1/2" od. 2 1/2" tubing to 3" intercooler so the air has a pressure drop then expands through the intercooler and fills with mass for air cooling then compresses back to 2 1/2" into the throttle body. With a 3" intake to match the size of the intercooler. You've just got to love the principals and practices of turbo charging. It's the reason our Nissan's are animals. :-)

    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
    • Ah coolant overflow, previous discussions make way more sense now lol. 
    • ok. Yea, then I would need to remove the turbo and weld an adapter on to it instead, if I fuc* this one up.  
    • No. Only for a standard ECU with/without Nistune. Standalone has no need for it. That's like the 3rd time I've said so.   And as to that sensor linked - yes, it does look like it would be the right one. I've never bothered to see how available they were - just assumed that they'd be hard to find. I think I'd be planning to go Link ECU rather than buy sensors I don't actually want to make Nistune work, if I did not already have Nistune. As you do not already have Nistune, you should realy consider your options.
