Slowly chipping away at it. Got the hole cut for the cooler piping and cut off the vband on the comp cover. 3.5" piping is going to be a bit of  struggle to fit under there as the tyre is fairly close to the guard already when full lock right. We will see tomorrow while the sun is out what exactly we are going to do.

We also tacked on the bends to mount the gates onto the manifold. Front one is going to be very tricky but I think we've found the best spot for it. See how we go tomorrow have even have it tacked up.

Not a lot happening lately. Got myself a new car so been enjoying that. Just waiting to recoupe some money so i can get the last bits and pieces to finish her off. Our 4" bends arrived yesterday, so gates will be welded on this week and should hopefully have atleast a dump pipe.

Some good progress today! Went down and picked up some fittings for the surge tank so we can finish the boot. The bulkheads are all fitted and ready for hardline to go on. Got one on today that came up ok. Might redo it and just use 90s instead of weird angles.

We have also been designing this powersteering bracket for a few weeks doing multiple tweaks on it to get it perfect. Won't be long till its the final result, just have to clean up the 3d printing a bit for a nicer finish and replace the bolts with buttom heads to clear the bonnet.

Also got all the pieces together for the dump pipe. Just gotta wait till monday to get a 4" flange and gasket to put in and then we can continue on with the exhaust. Also welded in the wideband bung aswell. I'll probably get around to mounting the can lambda sensor to the firewall as well as the 4port solenoid next week.

Little bit more done today! Surge tank is all plumbed up ready to go. Not 100% happy with it but it will do. Hopefully nothing leaks! Fuel system is almost all done now bar lines into the rail. Just need to hook up the 2 lines under the car to the hardline and shes good to go and run a braided line from the hardline to the fuel reg. Just need a couple straight fittings.

Mounted and wired my boost solenoid as well. Catch can will keep it hidden nicely. Also have to try and mount my link wideband module somewhere in there aswell.

Car is slowly coming along. Converter should be ready sometime this week. Ordered Hypertune gear today as well, v2 Intake Manifold with some special colours, and 600x325x100 Intercooler and 4x 3.5" hypertune clamps. Should be ready this week/receive early next week.

Fuel system is finished now! Except for rail anyway. Got a heap of fittings today to plumb catch can, turbo oil feed and drain, head drain and few other bits and pieces. Oil feed is done, and one side of my can. Gotta go change a couple fittings and ill finish plumbing it all up tomorrow. 

Also gotta try and work something out for my heater. Not a big fan of those big brass fittings on there atm. Hopefully find something so i can run black fittings on it.

Went and got some fittings today to finish off plumbing up my gates and catch can. Here is the final results.

Tomorrow I have to get a few more fittings again fml, always forget something. Been down everyday this week so far. I have sorted fittings for coolant/heater path just need to swap the hose end to something bigger as it was too small for the heater hose. And I need to get some more 200series hose and a couple of fittings. That should be everything until we have to plumb up the fuel rail and plenum.

Finished the turbo drain and coolant hoses today. Come up pretty nicely, ive just gotta get some hose clamps and mount them to the firewall as I've deleted the factory plastic mount.

Mate also finished welding up the dump pipe as well. Got a super high flow cat being made up tomorrow and I'll grab a couple flanges and we can keep going with the rest of the exhaust. 

Plan is to finish the exhaust off and finish welding everything up on the manifold so we can pull the motor out to fit up intake manifold and head drain. Drop motor back in see if it runs and no leaks then fab up intercooler piping which shouldnt be too bad.

Few little small things done today, cleaning lines and double checking over stuff. Surge tank is now 100% put clamps on pumps inside tank and put the oring in.

Got my wideband module mounted nice and stealthy location. Next week I've got to pull through 4 wires for it and get my mate to hook it up into the ecu.

Pulled my booster off aswell and dropped it down to my painter. Had it back in a couple hours. Flipped it aswell so theres no big dirty hose running across the top.

Finished off FPR. Line will get connected once plenum in is. Also threw a hose clamp on the hardline to give it a bit of support off the body.

Custom cat got made up today and went and picked that and a few flanges up and got stuck into the exhaust. Dump pipes all welded up now.

Jks lol fake cat!

We have made up the next little part of the exhaust but unfortunately exhaust shop only got sent the 3 instead of 4 flanges. So monday we'll get the other flange and also the magnaflow muffler.

Reason behind mounting the wide band stealthy?

 

Loving everything in the build. Should be a wild ride once complete

Want to keep the bay as clean as possible and clutter free. 

Cherrs mate, can't wait to drive it!

Went down to the shop and got a bit more done today. Gates are almost complete. Just need to get some more pipe to replace the straight bits and make them a bit longer. Once that's done we'll weld them all up and finish welding everything on the manifold and send it off for coating. 

Got some billet clamps for the -3 fittings aswell. Looks shit hot compared to a ziptie ??

Also got the 90 welded onto comp cover and hole cut a bit bigger to suit. Gotta wait for hypertune gear to come so we can work out what we need as there will be a clamp going before it 90s down.

Top build do you know what  a 3.4 can rev 2 as I'm thinking of going spool 3.2 or 3.4  

We'll only be revving it to around 8500rpm, depending if it's still making power or not. I know JEM rev's theirs 9500rpm. 

Exhaust is almost finished! It's currently all tacked together, so tomorrow it will be getting welded up, along with fixing up the screamers. Exhaust turned out awesome. Mate wanted a cannon not an oval muffler so I got a cannon to put on. 

Surprisingly the 4" system sits up really nicely! It's probably got about 140mm clearance under it. It does have stock suspension though.

This weeks game plan is tomorrow pull box off and get measurement for new converter then that is ready, finish welding up exhaust and manifold then prep motor to come out for head drain. Thursday take mani off to get coated, install head drain and plumb to sump.

Going to order a spal 16" 3000cfm fan to put on my current rad that will bolt onto the hypertune radiator when I get sround to getting one. Hypertune said they should have stuff to me next week. 

Next week will be a bit of a push to get it all done rear for roll racing on saturday but we will see how we go.

Not much going on at this point. Pulled hot side out and welded up the mani and sent off for ceramic coating, should be back mid next week. 

Pulled the motor out yesterday to do the head drain and also fix the heater hoses to the wall then dropped it back in. Everything is getting bolted in now for good.

Might head down today and finish welding the exhaust and wire in the wideband and a few other things to get it ready. 

Little bits and pieces to sort out here and there. Have to mod powersteering pump and bring it forward to suit the rb26 ATi damper and also work something out to bring the powersteering hose straight off the pump to run to the resi in it's new location. 

Had a couple dramas with the gearbox situation... My new converter has been made but my converter height I need is too small for him to finish it off. So I need to source an rb30 jatco bellhousing which is about 20mm longer than my rb25(?) one and possibly an adapter to suit. Then have to my tailshaft shortened to suit and remount the gearbox. Probably dreaming a bit to get it done by next weekend now... Also still waiting in hypertune stuff to rock up.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
