I wish I had mad fab skillz...

hahah the cars name is sooty. now its sooty the transformer, 'dattotron'

just a slapped togther pic, still got things to do on the front end, going to put a new water pump and belt idler/tensioner etc on it and a few other odds and ends. still got brake ducting, crabon plates and mesh to go back in her. Roll cage (woolls old Bond cage) and few other rear suspension bits sitting the in workshop waiting to go on. just wanted to get a pic of the ol beast as i'm away next week so wont get a chance to fit it up properly for a little while. still got lots to do, but i'm getting there. hoping to run at every hill climb & supersprint next year. :banana:

so i been playing around trying to get my engine bay lookn better thought id add some pics of wen i brought it and wat it looks like now engineold1.jpg

also waiting for the vipec 2 come from NZ so next week should be a good1 :D

cheers Brad. looking forward to giving it a run.

Yeah funzy, thats next. I'd like to fit a Capel motorsports diffuser, but atm I'm just going to flatten it out under the ass from the diff back, get a decent angle and smooth up the airflow a little. thats going to happen in the next couple of weeks. the budget datto is starting to take shape. :cheers:

if you get some bits sorted i can nock you up a set when you come try these wheels on.

phew , i thought it looked horrible in the first pic , looks much better in them! , how far under the car does the front diffuser go?

its 700mm deep, so back to the swaybar. 5 inches past the bar at the front, 4 inches at the sides

been tinkering on my car getting it ready fo a tune.

one thing thats been bugging me was how untidy all the wiring looked on top of the throttle boddies, so i made up a carbon cover for it

also put some mesh in my headlight duct.

only a few small jobs and its good to go.

That cover looks the goods man. Did you just make a flat piece of carbon then cut to suit?

Well I've almost got everythimg bolted on my engine ready to drop it in hopefully next weekend. Spent today modifying the external oil drain as it didn't clear the rear dump pipe so had to change the bottom 45degree fittings to 2 90degree ones and now it's sweet. Put the last few things back in the engine bay and got that tidy ready for the engine. Now all thats left is finish the turbo oil/water lines, oil drains, set up the timing, put the clutch on and drop it in. Then comes the fun part of connecting everything......

    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
