12 minutes onwards.

track car that’s spinning to 10,500 rpm using sub 270’s. 1 vote for not 280 brap brap nugs, especially not “soft” jap cams. The advertised duration tells you half the story. What’s the duration at 50 thou?

Wow. Did not even think about either of the points (metal quality, lift at various duration). Fair call on both points. I've never had issues with tomei before but never used anything else either. I have always read that duration is for top end power and lift is for midrange torque. Might have to do some more reading. Problem I find is most of the 1000hp+ cars won't list  am specs. I don't know why. I would have thought info sharing makes for easier product development.

Rust repair and paint done. Also getting the rear duards rolled slightly so I can fit some 315s in them.

Now it's just a waiting game for the rest of the mechanicals to arrive so we can put her back together. Should be on the road by end of September.

September..... what year? 🤣

Lol. This time. This year. Pretty much everything is either here or in transit due to arrive in June and July. Apart from exhaust and new piping from turbo to intercooler, everything else is bolt on.

It's nice to come home and find car related presents at your door. Deka 2400cc injectors arrived today. Little by little we are getting there.

Glad to see you went real fuel compatible 2000cc + injectors rather than the gas ones most people use 👍 Just remember they are low impedance.

Yeah I kept hearing the ID2000 are ok to run on e85 but seals swell if e85 is left in them for a few days. Plus with power I am chasing I would have to run them at over 90%. Getting Dekas made sense.

As for impedance, happens to all of us after a long night's drinking ethanol. Ill let Haltech sort that out. Aparently for a large Injector they are pretty good at idle and cruise.

So waiting on a quote for the last part of the shopping list. Suggestions and advice always welcome.

Precision 7685gen2 with T4 6boost manifold and 60mm gate. Ceramic coated with exhaust benie.

2x turbosmart bovs

3x walbro 535lph pumps (1 for main tank. 2 for surge tank)

Raceworks 2.8l surge tank

2000 fuel pressure regulator

Nitto full gasket kit

Nitto 1.2mm head gasket.

Clear front cam cover

Billet top cam covers

Haltech 2500

Ati balancer

Prp r35 coil kit

Prp pro 36-2 cam/crank trigger kit

Pwr 55mm radiator.

The rest I either have or its in transit.

Sounds like a pretty nice shopping list.  Probably a good 15 or 16 grand worth of tasty goodies in there!

I'd love to tell you that's all you'll need but as you probably know by now it never is, there's always something else you think you need part way through the build!

Look forward to seeing it all come together, should be a well sorted build.

Im sure there will be a truck full of hoses, clamps, fittings, etc etc etc. Car is coming back from panel and paint today. 0 rust, all new engine bay panels, strengthened welds. Can't wait.

Nice!  The one thing I know I should do on mine while it's all in bits is to paint the engine bay at the very least but I just can't bring myself to do it!  I'm better off getting the thing on the road then I can go back to aesthetics later on!

Yeah the hoses and clamps and fittings add up to an insane amount of money!  You can never be prepared for the amount of extra stuff you need.

Why 2 blow off valves? Surely you aren't going to run the stock cold side intercooler piping so just put a single raceport bov on it and be done.

Running a trust drag intercooler (works fine and satisfies my early japanese tuner look nostalgia) piping will be all custom made to suit. We will be running around 40psi of boost. Engine is sleeved and can hold 60psi if needed. Hopefully not. Just want to make sure that when throttle is shut off at high rpm, all of that air is vented out. Just extra precaution. Bovs are relatively cheap. Turbos aren't.

A single raceport will be plenty big enough for what you are doing. I know of cars with bigger setups than yours running just a single one without an issue.

In fact we had to over spring mine just to keep it from opening too much and my setup is not far off what yours will be.

Ordering turbo smart race port gen V. Was going to run one on either side of intercooler piping. You recon one on the turbo side will be enough.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
