Few people have been asking what I'm doin with my cars these days. For those that asked/interested, here's some of the shit that I've started that I'll probably never finish...

Project 1:

AE86 for race use. So far:

$650 AE86

$350 TRD 2 Way LSD

$1600 CA18DET, gearbox, ECU, loom, turbo etc

$800 8-point Rollcage

$100 Sabelt racing harness

$27 Fire Extinguisher

Project 2:

Street driven widebody R32...

BN Sports R32 Widebodykit (50mm either side)

SSR 18"x9.5" in front and SSR 18"x10.5" at the back

RB25DET (Still being built/pieced together)

Trust TD06-25G (Will most probably be sold as it is totally non street use friendly... starts spooling at 5000rpm and then wooshka)

HKS external wastegate

custom lowmount manifold

no more details due to it being a combination of being a top secret and "make/get as we go" project.

Some teaser pics (with stock sized rims for reference):

I'll update this thread... whenever something happens... which won't be soon.

I think I should just sell it all and get a Vol... i mean a Stagea.

I just saw in the for sale section a 1989 version of my car's (mine 1993) selling for 10 grand... so I'm tempted to sell mine too. With the new P-Plate rules, it seems my car's actually eligible :D

I want to finish the hachi in a couple of months. Driftline being the efficient guys they are should have the engine in before the end of next month (maybe even next week). After that its all just cosmetic shit and bolt on stuff.

I might just slap a Vertex kit on the R32, respray it and sell it.

    • Like I said, "black magic" LOL In the end,  it is what it is, and hopefully, what this here knuckle head has done is an improvement and not a hindrance Not that I actually notice any negatives now, or that I will get any seat of the pants benefits when all is said and done, but best practice says I shouldn't be pulling intake air from the hot engine bay  Famous last words: I cannot see it being any worse than what it is at the moment 🤔
    • If the gases flowing in those two tracts had the same properties, you could maybe use such broscience. But the exhaust has a different composition, different normal density, different actual density (because of different normal density, and mostly because of the massively higher temperature), and different viscosity (again because of much higher temperature). Consequently, all of the fluid dynamics parameters that matter, that you calculate from these inputs, such as the Reynolds number, friction factors (for wall friction) and so on, are all incomparable.
    • And we shall have to presume that Canada is the same?
    • In the US almost everything is E10. It can't exceed 10% by much or fuel systems have trouble adapting. At the same time because MTBE, MMT, and TEL are all banned they need as much ethanol in it as possible to boost octane.
    • I was mostly jesting. In my experience (and probably only my experience) the R34 GTT physical airbox space is actually too small to flow the amount of power it wanted. By sealing the box, I made it so it could only be fed by the ducts themselves. So you can seal it up and get nice cold air which IS good, but at a certain crossover point: More Hot Air > Less Cold Air I don't think you're at this point. In my case merely ducting the hot air intake with a very focused set of ducts counteracts the fact it's in a V8 engine bay. More cold air obviously best. The solution looks great.
