Sunburn- sunscreen
Best sleep ever in our van...the beers prob help
Dirt- sometimes depending on location
Food- wife cooks as well camping as at home but menu choices are reduced

Scenery- sensational

thats some pretty flash welding there dude. Reckon I might hit you up soon for a foreigner [emoji14]
Thanks dale. MIG Welding is just welding, once the geometric pattern development is done I've already lost interest. Parallel, radial line and triangulation is the fun part for me :-) we finally have a bender arriving soon so. Exhaust manifold off, machined, sand blasted and painted with all new studs. Dual cai's, Ali coolant/dual motor washer bottle, pod filter box. Got bad hot air stacking under the bonnet. Would like to do Ali but might be stainless. Due to free bits from work. You know on top of the 50hrs I put in this week. Haven't used the turbo timer because intercooler but you can hear the manifold pinging under cool down. Don't want to go with lagging or blankets because it traps the heat in bad? Any thoughts?

Marc at C-Red reckon timers are pointless unless your racing, turbo blanket could be cool!

Yeah my bro reconds the same. Switch it off while it's hot so the oil feed maintains pressure around the bearings. Dave said use it for now on Cool down because the manifold is warped and ticks bad for ages on cool down. Won't matter when it's fixed I suppose. Turbo/manifold blankets/lagging are a trade off because they hold the heat in which makes for less exhaust efficiency due to increased exhaust/turbo temps. Will do dual cai's. One to the original air box position, with the back open towards the turbo and one across the front of the engine toward the exhaust manifold through the hole that isnt used from front facing plenum. Will put heat shielding guards over the manifold and turbo that will hopefully keep the heat down to be blown out by cai's to avoid the stacking issue?

Have an industrial precision EGT sensor In my Ute. it drops from 350C to 160-180 in 20 seconds or so of idle or decel. Giving it another 2 minutes of idle time only gets it down to 150C so why bother.

Just back off for the last few seconds of driving and shut it straight down. Not being under load at the end the turbo will stop spinning relatively quick and thermal siphoning will help keep turbo coolish anyway.

Turbo timers are made to piss off the neighbours.

I had a timer on the stagea, never actually used it for pretty much the reasons stated,

Also, I dont think heat retaining is an issue in turbos etc. its more the moisture the lagging traps, and how that leads to massive corrosion. Seen blokes do this to motorbike exhausts and they go paper thin within a year.

most likely too busy chatting up 2nd hand military equipment dealers to bother with the likes of us

 

or, too busy trying to keep his dog from drowning itself at every chance. Seriously, it wouldnt even drink from my dogs bowl, unless BOTH front feet were inside the water dish - and my dog has a 40lt water dish....

I had a timer on my old car, was built into the alarm. My car ticked and cracked once it had shit down, i thought it haf something todo with the fact the turbo and mani were cast, the downpipe was stainless and nuts and bolts were mild

oh lawd

turns out "bring your kids to work day" doesn't really work when you are counting on engineers telling them what they do, to be enough entertainment and stimulation for kids. My normally quiet office currently sounds like a day care centre that has been accidentally hosed down with red cordial and dexxies.....

 

damn breeders.......

    • Maybe I used the wrong sandwich plate as well. Used one piece instead of two piece.  
    • Y'know what, after reading a topic on a 360kw build using a nistune (who ended up going LINK), im now considering a LINK over a nistune. The engine protection alone would probably be worth it. And id like to learn to tune so would be nice to have that safe guard. Which means i probably wont need a boost controller then, or the R35 MAF.  Becoming a bit of a blog now but oh wells. As mentioned previously, the goal is around 300kw, for a daily driver. Will be looking at fitting a highflow turbo or similar (something that doesnt require downpipes, manifolds etc to be changed out) when the current stock gives out or the money for it is there. 
    • Thanks guys. Are you meant to tighten the converter bolts through the starter motor hole? Think my plate between gearbox and engine is one piece. Im heading up there tomorrow.
    • Picked my tailshaft up yesterday arv!! Test fit it and because they've gone to a ford centre bearing and CV I had to modify the mounting bracket a little bit. 5mm of each side and she went up into position and fits well. It has a 1350 uni and flange on the gearbox end so it should be plenty strong!  Got stuck in this morning and started on the wiring mess. Cut out all the wires not required that go to the body connector and cut the engine harness out. Need to go through and work out which ones I need to keep and rewire into the new ecu. Should save a small amount of weight as well. I'd love to get in and rip the dash and everything out to completely remove wiring but cbf.  Next up was the power harness for alternator, starter etc. It has a few connectors from factory that run out of it. Cut it all apart and removed what was no longer required and put some new corro and taped it all back up and bolted it all back into place.  After that I worked out where I can mount the new flex sensor. Found a couple of factory bolt holes and drilled a new hole on the bracket to suit. Need to go get a few fittings and adapters tomorrow so I can keep going.   
    • Nah, im after the more newer looking, one with the OLED display
