the car is off the road for respray and engine rebuild. Hopefully back this week.

The engine will be stock with a HKS exhaust cam. Running factory turbo and ic. The s-afc II has been sold and a standard safc in its' place.

The rest of the car is still as it was.

the car is back from the camshaft install, needs 500kms to run in the cam then back for a dyno tune and after that and a couple of little bits sorted the car may just appear at the track for a run or three.

The camshaft appears to have added a fair bit of stick even keeping the revs to 4500rpm and the throttle to 50%. The little factory turbo gets excited very quickly indeed.

any more news rev? Just wondering a few things where and how much was your ogura super light flywheel? I also read your how to guide to get stockish GTST into mid 13's (very good time) and was wondering what was the significance of removing the panel behind the stocky intercooler? Have you heat taped ur exhaust manifold? Do you think a cheapish way to upgrade our crappy ceramic turbo is to get an s15 turbo hi flowed? one day i will hopefully one day get into mid 12's on full street trim. (atm i have 235's 45 ratio 17's, but quite heavy rims that cam with the car)

thanx

Rom.

the flywheel is cheap with the current exchange rate. Go find out at takakaira.co.jp

remove the panel and it allows the air to flow better through the intercooler, better still is to make some ducting for it and cut a hole in the panel instead.

I did not tape the exhaust manifold since it is made of cast iron and when unevenly insulated (tape is a problem here) it cracks due to uneven expansion.

The cheapest way to upgrade the std turbo is to add a 55mm TO4 V-trim compressor into the machined out std housing (you need to machine the ditch again in the same way as the stock compressor housing inlet snout has to prevent surge) , then add a VG30 exhaust housing and machine the snout by 3mm so the standard ceramic wheel has extra clearence and agin it reduces surge. BOOSTD has perfected this idea and made 250rwkw with it , should cost $500 or so to do. S15 turbos are the wrong flange and are smaller than the RB25 turbo to start with.

On the news front my car will shortly be sold. I recently put it on the dyno for a quick tune.

The result was around 240rwhp odd, the power was limited to this upwards of 5,000rpm due to the extreeme intake heat (54 deg C ) and the fact that I did not play with the dial in of the exhaust cam. As usual I did the runs with the bonnet down. AFR's where kept in the low 11's due to the heat.

In it's present state of tune a 12second pass on the 205's should be within reach. Even easier if the tune is taken a little further.

Don't under estimate the gains from Heat wrap. Apart from reducing under bonnent temps, the wrap which keeps the heat in and causes increases in pipe temp and gas temp. Temp promotes increased verlocity. Remember air is less dense at increasing temps. So there are more than one reason to invest. I had my exhaust, turbo and entire dump wrapped for my 12.9 second pass with the stock turbo.

Dean: The car is being tuned tomorrow. The power can't be compared any more as my internals are far from stock=) The turbo will make 240rwkw to 260rwkw at 16psi on an internally stock engine. Maybe more with more boost and adjustable fuel reg.

Yeah, i was just thinking about it keeping heat in... and that's kinda what the turbo's dont like (stock ones at least)

But even if you had 2-3 quick succession runs you could do damage.

I wonder how much extra heat it does keep. Be interesting to find out

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
