Progress is slow, been repairing a hail damaged saab the old man bought. Bloody cars take up alot of time, i picked up some pipes today , these are for the dump, gate and intake. Just need to learn how to weld or bribe the old man to do it..

It looks straight forward enough and these bends should be pretty close so we'll see how it goes. Atleast this way im learning how to do shit instead of just paying people.

Im considering adding the 3 1/2 inch xforce muffler straight after the cat to have a true 3 1/2 inch system as the hks system has a section of 3inch but obviously it will still make the power goal with 3inch system but the noise factor is unknown without a middle muffler atleast.post-70965-0-50260200-1464770462_thumb.jpg

Some progress on the dump pipe and intake pipes, hopefully the bonnet closes with return flow intercooler pipes. Had an adaptor plate made for the air reg, had to use a spacer to allow room between the dump pipe and wastegate.post-70965-0-71894700-1465723663_thumb.jpgpost-70965-0-42685200-1465724001_thumb.jpgpost-70965-0-30283300-1465724165_thumb.jpgpost-70965-0-22091400-1465723889_thumb.jpg

Attempting to make a cold air intake with the spare hole. Did lots of grinding and now just need to cut segments to make the turns and plumbing.  I know its rough but i no have $$$ for fabricators ???

Probably make no difference but you know, racecar and all that..

Getting closer, fmic is on and trying to create this intake pipe to the throttle body, no idea how close it is to the bonnet.  The cold air intake is very crap lol, will get it done by a pro once the car is tuned etc. Put the oil and coolant lines on turbo, getting a fabricator to weld elbow on the comp cover . Hope to fire it up in next few weeks ?

less back pressure = more power

merge when gases cool down, exhaust gases more condense thus less restriction.. also allows you to run a cat and when you're on noise.. you can bypass the cat :)

Cars not far off, VCT oil feed is an asshole, its in a terrible spot to get plumbing upto.  Have a nice oil/air separator being made to replace the windscreen washer reservoir.

Took the Avcr out of the silver skyline  and its wiring, hopefully the tuner canake sense of the birds nest, its mostly jap wires for the old radio i think, looks like a bitch of a job.

Well no updates cause cars still sitting at tuners, considering taking it somewhere else.

Anyone had good experiences with other shops around brissy such as Godzilla Motorsport or 101 Motorsport?

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
