lol probably not. 

Hard to know how it stacks up against a Naprec DET head, but it's titanium retainers, Kelford beehive springs, hks gears, ported, supertech IN and EX valves (standard dia, just stronger/lighter).

P12 head, but with P11 valve stem sizes as they are stronger, oh and Kelford cams but still retaining VVL. 

Should go "ok", I hope so coz it cost a few bucks.

Don Mega Dim Sum Bing Bong Spec head, love it.

Is it also going to a stock bottom SR20? ?

Nah have upgraded water pump to NASA spec and using blue pulley on it too!

LOLOLOL Space-X quality, none of this use once throw away business

There is some custom Space-X in the bottom that I am not allowed to share pics of.  Head also has the mazworks headstuds because they bottom out properly (Fairly sure they are just Golf head studs with the right length) and got an expensive as f**k Cosworth headgasket. 

Re the bottom - apparently Nismo provided DM with the technical specs of the SR that was in the JGTC car he had which included some changes to the bottom end for longevity that DM now uses on his builds (if you pay the iron price). I'm sure any competent builder is already aware/does it/wont do it because it's gay or whatever, but he asked me not to share pics so I wont. 

He told me about the changes and showed me how it all works and I said "Yes, give me the stage 1 e-fame package plz".

So I am expecting bulk likes and plenty of Grinder invites. 

You guys already know I bought those Nitto I beams, CA625 rod bolt upgrade, CP pistons, Plazmaman girdle, ATI balancer, all the ARP bolts etc.

Using new OEM VE oil pump and an aeroflow big boi sump but I'm also looking at a dry sump kit he has because scope creep is f**king insane.

Sorry guys, I just got here. Is this... Is this the Bakemono thread? I can't work out where is the bants and where is the proper build specs. Dan, can you confirm if blue pulley is aerospace alloy? How many fuel pumps are in here, 5? 6? 

 

Seriously though. I'm feelin ya on the scope creep Dan. Somehow you go from mentally preparing for weeks to spend $2000, to just giving strangers your credit card details without even asking for a price first.

Probs just upgrade the pump on the side of the surge and call it a day? 

Dunno how much fuel the stock lines can supply, haven't bothered looking in to any of it. 

Not even sure I want e85 due to the hassle getting it here. They did put a pump in at the new United on the highway, but I have no idea if that's still going.

Flex sensor I guess.

Is that the limit? 

I'm not quite sure to be honest, however with 1x 460L hard wired in running at 13.8V with the FPR fully wound out, the fuel pressure was still about 2bar.

Now with a 8AN feed from the surge to rail, and using both stock feed/return as a merged return I can get the fuel pressure down to under 1 bar.

If you use a stock fuel system in this I will be so disappointed, basically getting the fuel to the engine for constant HP is critical

In 3rd gear I’ve chopped both an Audi RS5 and C63 AMG, I’m talking several car lengths 

you need a fuel system for track work!!!! Put a flex sensor in it then you can run pump and E85!!! But getting a surge tank right is a black art I have all the secrets to get it right

    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
