nice man!

ever though about Plazmaman intercooler piping kit? (I can do better prices than directly with Plaz)

https://plazmaman.com/shop_itemdetail.php?itemid=153&cate=73

I run the same kit on my car, however no BOV at all.

In terms of plugs, try these guys:

or eBay US

Does a whole have to be cut to pass that piping through John?

yeah unfortunately, goes through the same hole as most kits.. however the best parts are the piping is shorter and there is no need to trim the fan blades

Soo I hit 140k on the clock the other day! Unfortunately no birthday presents.... Because I'm still waiting on my f**********n manifold..... After 5 f**kin weeks..... I went through Torqueline Garage because CRG had so eftpos facility (wtf?) and apparently there has been a "bank error" and CRG haven't received the money from Torqueline, so CRG haven't sent it out yet! Mega pissed.... I know it'll be worth it when I have it but 5 weeks for a manifold is ridiculous...

Quick snap from the other day. I just checked and didn't update that I plastidipped my wheels! Just did it so I could get an idea of what colour I wanted to get them powder coated/painted.

Not much else is happening atm, but when my mani gets here it's full steam ahead! I have ordered my Walbro 460 E85 pump and Tomei reg so hopefully they get in soon, then Rail and Injectors once the mani and turbo are sitting on the car.

Woooooo! Mani finally turned up this morning :D

No the other plate isn't missing, just forgot to take the pic.

Gotta get the gate vband welded on then take it down to be ceramic coated and get the dump made to suit :)

Bit of an update, have just been enjoying driving the 33 around after I installed my clutch! 

Picked up a new head unit CHEAP and got that going.. Just need a decent set of speakers and an underseat sub and I'll be happy. 

IMG_20160815_13814_zpswla8brft.jpg

 

Also got a 3" high flow cat installed last week. Noticed a bit smoother power delivery compared to the stock one. 

IMG_20160815_1375_zpsmzjsqup4.jpg?147125

Picked up the rest of my fuel system last week. Raceworks 1000cc EV14s, HFPF Fuel Rail and clips to suit new injectors. 

IMG_20160815_13587_zpsxdquouwl.jpg

These bad boys turned up this morning from NISTUNE! HPX MAF, Air Straightener, Flex Fuel Sensor and all the wiring and boards to suit!

IMG_20160815_12106_zpsujaifdyx.jpg?14712

New Exhaust Gaskets..

IMG_20160815_13335_zpswyrvcdgs.jpg?14712

So today I pulled the stock turbo and manifold off and threw on the new high mount setup! Goes down to the shop tomorrow to get the gate flange welded one and also dump pipe made up. 

Stock turb vs New one :D

Pulled the injectors out today as well and attempted to install my new 1000cc's and Fuel rail. Ran into a clearance problem with the top bung on the stock manifold. Waiting to hear back to see whether I change rails or not. 

IMG_20160815_12856_zpspatjvspz.jpg?14712

Yeah ran into that issue haha.... Swapping it for a raceworks rail. Hopefully pick it up today or tomorrow morning and wack the injectors in. Gotta go grab some fittings and hose to run the fuel lines to the new rail.

She's down the shop atm for dump and gate, will be done this arvo sometime. 

Once the rail's in it'll be down to the tuner to get my intake and intercooler piping done and flex wiring and shit then flex tune!

Picked her up yesterday from Rob Bliss! Super stoked with the new dump setup! Bit devo they didn't use v-band clamps for the removable screamer but oh well. 

Swapping fuel rail for a raceworks one, pick it up sometime this morning so hopefully get that all installed today and go get some lines and fittings and hook it all up with the flex sensor.

Picked up my Raceworks fuel rail today, will get cracking on that tomorrow morning.. Decided to go down and grab some intercooler piping today and this happened! 

IMG_20160817_20313_zpsdtskwfjv.jpg

 

Took it down to a fabricator and got it welded up! Had to turn the rocker breather things around 180* and it cleared perfectly :D Not bad for $145 and a couple hours. Just have to get a bit of pipe and get it welded on for the hose going to the IAC. Intake is a bit shit to fit it with the fuel canister there and pod hits slightly on back of headlight.

mate I'm totally guttered you're not going with a forward facing plenum and 3' piping!

it'd look so much neater and you'd have no clearance issues with your injectors!

also just a side note - the tomei FPR isn't supposed to work with E85, the diaphragm inside it will eventually eat away, I found this out when the sales rep from Tomei told me while i was over in Japan on holidays, so i switched out to a turbo smart FPR.

Yeah I don't see any point going for one except for cleaning the engine bay up or going for BIG power.

I shouldn't have any clearance issues with the raceworks rail...

Fair enough, see how it goes i guess. Will mostly be running 98 anyway unless I'm heading down to the track or cruising.

Yeah it's all happening pretty fast! So keen to get it back on the street!

Quick update, picked up my intake today from welder.

Swapped my 3/4 injectors for some 1/2 size Xspurt 1000cc's which got the job done. Had to cut the spacers and bolts down to suit the 1/2 size injectors.

Cheers fellas, bit more progress! Yesterday all my hose clamps turned up so started putting a few of those on. I got my exhaust gaskets on and oil lines in! Tomorrow I have to pop the water lines in and that's complete! Got the fuel system all plumbed in today, decided to just do it properly the first time and get a Turbosmart FPR800. Rearranged a few things to fit the flex sensor down there. Pretty happy with how its sitting atm! Few more days and she should be all ready to go down to the tuner! 

Will grab some better pics tomorrow during the day.

Small update, turbos all plumbed up. Had a slight leak on the fuel rail fittings, got some teflon washers for them yesterday and it fixed the leak :D 

So today pretty much everything is hooked up now. It's going down to the tuner tomorrow to have hotside piping, install fuel pump, HPX MAF Wiring and then FLEX TUNE TIME!! 

Depending how much this costs me might lower her a bit more and get a wheel alignment before Downshift circuit and coffee on Saturday morning.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
