That's all for now, car is having idle issues, keeps stalling at idle when the revs drop due to charger, looking into ways of raising the idle. Failing getting Nissan to do it, will be ordering a diagnostic tool from the US and A

[jaybee]

how much is a diagnostic tool ??

35r rims look awesome! get them on asap please.

[AGIT8D]

WHY is it stalling due to the charger though? surely the charger doesn't affect the idle revs making them lower.. is it having a vacuum problem somewhere or something? considered running it out to Mark's workshop so he can have a look over it?

[SLIPPERY]

the chargers gonna be a drain on the crank indirectly so will pull the revs down a little naturally....

does it suffer from the atmo BOV r33 problem aswell?

[AGIT8D]

http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php?/topic/75572-vq35de-stalling-at-idle-help/

Lots of good info online for supercharger installs on various engines too.. Generally referring to the MAF, vac leak, IAV etc.

[stumps.]

I know with the ls1 engines you can increase the idle by increasing the size of the air hole in the throttle body blade.

Can you do this?

I wouldn't think it would pull enough drain when slowing rotation speed to stall out as it would when coming ON boost?

[Turbo2.6L]

Have you test fitted the 35R wheels yet?
Do they clear everything??

This sums it up the best. Basically when I'm sitting at the lights its fine, but sometimes if I get an idle drop it will dip far enough to stall the car. Lot of the guys in the US have this problem and their solution was to raise the idle. It currently idles at 650rpm but would like to take it up to 750 or even 800. That should solve my problem, already cleaned the AFM and T/B

Idle can only be raised via the ECU using the Consult II diagnostic tool from Nissan or another tool called the UpRev Cipher.

I should probably rephrase and say that it doesn't stall at idle all the time but intermittently, but still enough to drive me crazy and feel embarassed when people keep thinking I'm the one stalling it or sitting at the lights and revving it so it doesn't die.

I've heard of some people drilling the hole larger but I'm not game, rather do it the right way.

Have not test fitted the wheels, they are actually getting redone due to some minor imperfections and also tyres are not here yet!

[Turbo2.6L]

If they don't fit, pm me as i may be keen to purchase :p

[Halle Terry]

Change idle to limiter.

For the lols.

[R3N]

If they don't fit, pm me as i may be keen to purchase :p

Are you for real? :p

[Daisy]

he will be serious, but doesnt realise they wont fit his shitter falcon.

[180SXTCY]

does the vq35 donk not have a bolt on the throttle body bit where the cable attatch's? if it does couldnt u just adjust that to bring the idle up a tad?

[AGIT8D]

I would've thought they were FBW, but have no idea..

[180SXTCY]

ur prob right Dan im thinking of shitter spec sr's LOL

[jaybee]

i'm guessing it would be a similar problem to say, if you switched your air con on and the car stalls. raising the idle is only a band aid fix and doesnt actually fix the problem.

[R3N]

No JD not a shitter SR (doesn't sound like a truck :p)

Not a band aid fix, a permanent fix. Not sure on the total workings on a supercharger, but as it is run off the engine, when there is a slight dip in rpms, its enough to bring it down to a stall. Like I said doesn't happen all the time, only intermittently but enough to piss me off.

It's more similar to when you get more aggresive cams I'd say, you need to raise the idle or the car will be constantly stalling in neutral.

[jaybee]

sorry should have said it a bit better, i meant raising the idle by just adjusting the screw on the idle control valve - band aid fix.

yeah a correct/permanent fix is through the ecu.

Not planning on selling anyway... well not yet ;)

Fark YES!!!

[ben351]

http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo353/R3N/tyres.jpg

brb...

lol they look MASSIVE against your car ?

will they fit ?

[jaybee]

they will make the car sit quite high, but they should

[RGVFAST]

They are going to look sharp once fitted

[j3rk]

Faster Faster fit fit fit!

[Stef]

hurry up kuek!

[PSI 304]

Wtf man? Takes an F1 team like 10 seconds, fair enough you're doing it on your own but surely that means we should allow 5 minutes...TOO LONG! Anxiously awaiting

[jaybee]

must have taken a break to cook mi goreng

[c.rusli]

Should have gone a lower profile tyre to keep same diameter?

im waiting ;D

[ben351]

$100 bucks says they dont fit

[mitchy]

apparently with the 20's on the car will be at legal height... they are lower profile than the originial R35 GTR tyres too.

[jaybee]

pingpingpingpings are forgetting the gtc's that were on the car before were 20"

[R3N]

lol you pingpingpingpings think i sit at home all day on my ass? i got other things to get done... like cook mi goreng! Plus I don't have a low trolley jack, so one by one spec!

http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo353/R3N/wheel1.jpg

http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo353/R3N/v35a.jpg

So when I was changing rims, some gremlin went and raised my ride height. I am now sitting at 140mm from the front lip, another 40mm drop will be sweet and legal.


$100 bucks says they dont fit

You owe me $100 sweetheart ;)

[R3N]

Oh and better pics later, the sun was being a bitch

[mitchy]

that looks bombed!

just need 400mm brakes now

[RGVFAST]

not too shabby.

Funny that once the wheels are on they not longer look big, they just look the perfect size.

[jaybee]

yes! new it would look good, perfect size for the car

could go a bit lower, and if you did decide the colour code the bottom lips i reckon it will bring the rims to life even more.

[mys1]

Black looks shit, Should have Kept gun metal grey....

[180SXTCY]

kuek imo that looks fuckn trick mate. nice work maybe go abit lower if u can :D

[c.rusli]

lookin good! me likes this!

[NoOg_sTaR]

Will you be keeping the rear spoiler? IMO it seems to ruin the cars lines.

[Lonewolf]

looks bombed, definitely needs the bigger brakes in there now

[Susstt]

Yea bombed! looks awesome! Brakes look tiny lol. also think you should go wingless

[180SXTCY]

pretty sure kuek said he has some 355mm rotors and calipers to suit of a 370 or something...

[R3N]

Cheers guys :D


Black looks shit, Should have Kept gun metal grey....

:( Can't please everyone I guess


kuek imo that looks fuckn trick mate. nice work maybe go abit lower if u can :D

You volunteering to come over and help me adjust the coilies JD? :D


Will you be keeping the rear spoiler? IMO it seems to ruin the cars lines.

Its on the to do list but not urgent, got some other little bits I need to do and fix, but looks wise I'm happy with it for now


pretty sure kuek said he has some 355mm rotors and calipers to suit of a 370 or something...

Yup... just waiting on Shane to get off his ass and come over :p

looks good mate!!!

kuek u got the c-spanners for the coil overs?

[R3N]

pfft... c spanners... i have a hammer and a long screwdriver :p

[Ben Wha]

I just came a little.

[180SXTCY]

pfft... c spanners... i have a hammer and a long screwdriver :p

FUKN LOL!

wouldn't be the first set of coilies I've come across where cow-boys have done that.

[viet_boi]

car is a massive win kuek! does guards needa be rolled? or wheels can tuck under easily? and how's she running now?

[Huy]

Looks shit.

I'll buy them off you! ;)

[monk_13]

Yup... just waiting on Shane to get off his ass and come over :p



My ass is currently about 1500K's north. Will be expecting bare breasted beer wenches upon my arrival next week.

:D :D :D :D

[BN01]

Like!

Nice one, Kuek. Get the brakes on!

[jaybee]

Looks shit.

I'll buy them off you! ;)

fark, i would like to see how they fit on your rig!


the new pics do the rims more justice it seems, loving it!!

[ChrisGTR]

Looks mint!! Expectation follows through with results.
If you need a C spanner, I got one at my place you can use if you want.
Nice work ;)

[Halle Terry]

Drop it on the deck!

[joshg123]

lookin good

[RELEASE]

looks awesome!

i really like the two tone skirts bit....i think it works really well with the colour and to be honest the ride height in terms of wheel arch to top of tyre is spot on. a smidge lower but i think if you start tucking it will spoil it

best pic :)

http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo353/R3N/4-1.jpg

[Huy]

+1. Height is perfect.

Looks killer.

[Stef]

yep, i like it!

[DCEVO]

Very nice Kuek not overdone at all (Want to do rude things to those rims) :)

[Passage GT]

looks awesome man, and agreed on the ride height, looks spot on
wouldn't change a thing:) (cept for manual box)
hot car

[AGIT8D]

oh my.............

perfect.

[Skitzo]

Fuck, that looks so shit.

[cplagz]

Not bad for an asian!

[SLIPPERY]

looks a lot like a baby brother GTR in that pic above.....very nice!

[Splat_man]

Dayyyuummmmm!

[esky]

looks nice although one thing keeps catching my eye

http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo353/R3N/4-1.jpg

the bottom of the doors looks like a trim piece is missing, it sort of doesn't match with the skirt. almost needs the bottom strip of the door painting the same colour as the skirt.

[joshg123]

The skirts have a cutout so the door can open and close, they dont match the seam of the factory skirt and the door perfectly

[esky]

i understand the skirts have a cutout, but the bottom of the doors should have a piece on it to fill the gap. it looks crap

[mantou]

looks mint! especially in person! do like

[Halle Terry]

Yeah man, have to admit the photos do NOT do it justice, looks great in person.

[Lonewolf]

indeed, wheels suit it perfectly, and love the blower whine.
Going to be bomed on full noise

[Jimmy_S]

Wow... that is PoRn! :D

[BrAzZ]

spotted this on james street yesterday, thing looked porn! please get rid of the ironing board on the boot though, personally think it ruins the lines of the car

[Chris138]

http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo353/R3N/4-1.jpg

Faaaark! Looks so nice! I've just spoken to Nick from Northside Nissan regarding your base idle. I've sent you a PM with details.

[pgc]

Didn't realise V35s had jam lids for brakes. :P

Needs moar black roof.

[Stef]

agree with above..matte black roof pls :)

[R3N]

Didn't realise V35s had jam lids for brakes. :P

Needs moar black roof.

Will be addressed soon Karl! Bigger brakes going on this week and hopefully my headlight/taillight/roof overlays from the US turn up this week as well, was planning to come see you to get them put on ;)

[ruler]

+1 for brakes. looks hot!

[easytiger]

that looks 5 different kinds of awesome
straight outta nihon

[jaybee]

keen to see this in person!

[Sfidz]

keen to see this in person!

you will jizz in your pants jaybee.
i did ;)

[jaybee]

i jizz in my pants when i see keuk anyway

[SLIPPERY]

if you think these brembos are small, have a look at the v35 non premium model's brakes.......fookin rubbish!

[mitchsterbrau]

looks awesome.
black roof would look hot.
and the black light covers?......suit different tastes i guess.

Saw you rolling down albany hwy yesty brah, i requested a burnout... received a royal wave...

:(

[R3N]

i don't do requests :D

[R3N]

postie dropped off another present today. got impatient and tried putting them on myself, then realised i had to rush off to work. so one is fucked and the other is slightly less fucked. will get the roof and headlight ones put on by karl

http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo353/R3N/tl2.jpg

http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo353/R3N/tl.jpg

so yea.. don't come and look at my car upclose :(

[jaybee]

looks good in the pics! what did you seem to do wrong?

[180SXTCY]

Kuek where do u buy all of these films or wat ever from?

[VRX]

Looks clean.

Kuek where do u buy all of these films or wat ever from?

I got em from the US jd, my s15 ones i got em done back home when i was on holidays


looks good in the pics! what did you seem to do wrong?

lots of bubbles n creases if you look closely, looks ok from a distance though, will reorder them again later


Looks clean.

thanks... i just gave it a wash

[VRX]

thanks... i just gave it a wash

Haha i meant the look is clean.

[Sully]

You are the most impatient fucker I know! Also, shit just got serious. This pingpingpingping doesn't wash cars unless he's gunna keep em and massage 100 dollar bills into em every night.

[Ben Wha]

Looks like a Ford Cougar from the rear.

[c.rusli]

the rear spoiler has to go.. its looks funny now the more i see it :p

I'm getting to it! RElaxxxxxxxx

[Jimmy_S]

Nice work mate!

Some of the bubbles will probably work themselves out over time? like tint on the windows... maybe go out and "pop" any larger ones and work as much air out.. then see how they turn out?

I know mine still had a few bubbles in when we did them, but now I don't notice any!

[R3N]

Bubbles would be no problems, but its the creases that are in there :(

[Mad_Aussie]

I think I spotted you goin down past Curtin thisavo mate, car looks very good!

[R3N]

Cheers dude, yup would've been me, I work at Curtin, where were ya?

[Jimmy_S]

Bubbles would be no problems, but its the creases that are in there :(

Ah ok... can try using a scalpel and cutting the crease? Just thinking it would be easier than re-ordering! :)

[mitchy]

Kuek is a balla anyway, throws cash around like it aint no thang!

[jaybee]

he's got 99 problems but cash aint one!

[Stef]

fuck me kuek, that looks boss! no badges, smooth ass, crazy hot!

[Sully]

How did you manage to get creases in the overlays? Try to put them on with a hand blender or something?

[magic1]

Big ups from el'presidente, momma's gon be proud!

Brakes tomorrow, de-wing near future.

Battery died on it today, even though I've been driving it everyday. Took it back to the place where battery was fitted as it was only a few months ago. Found out the previous owner was dodgy as hell and didn't pay off his bills (he got new tranny put in there).

Apparently old tranny was slipping, previous owner went to get it reconditioned and took it back the day after it was done because something was wrong. The guy that owns the place showed me the 1st gear... teeth were missing and the guy found evidence of fresh skids that killed the box right after he picked it up! So got a new box put in and didn't pay off the rest of his bill. Bonus is, I now have what I hope to be an upgraded VB from the old box which I will get checked out and put back in.

[Torquen]

I'm going to go against the grain and say I like the spoiler...but would also look fine without it :)

[R3N]

Brakes are done! Big thanks to Shane for giving me a hand (well all I did was sit back and watch but I'd like to think my presence made it a more pleasant :D

[Tard Of War]

i hope this is coming out tonight so i can admire it and perhaps gain half mast :D

[Lonewolf]

wow those calipers are bigger than I thought, fill the wheels nicely

[jaybee]

what a difference that made to the look!! getting better and better

whats next on the list?

[Atomic_FD]

YEEEAAA!!! think i saw this driving through Karrawarra shopping centre, new rims look tough. Can hear the charger quite well.

[monk_13]

Next time you are on beer wench duties I at least expect you to wear a wig. something like the pic below will do.

Next is a tune and enjoy it the way it is, still have some minor problems I need to fix.


YEEEAAA!!! think i saw this driving through Karrawarra shopping centre, new rims look tough. Can hear the charger quite well.

Blue FD with the p1s? Yea I saw you too

Shane, that can possibly be arranged for next time when I go 400mm rotors :D

[jaybee]

de-spoiler and SLR pics!

it has a spoiler??

Looks good in the flesh. Fix that fricken air filter :p

Correct! :)

[Rhys]

saw this on cruise tonite. Awesome looking car, i think wing needs to stay. Suprised how well 35 R rims fit

[joshg123]

+1 For Kuek obtaining new air filter

[magic1]

where did you get the brakes from?

[jaybee]

infiniti so im guessing must be from the states? they look like a good upgrade over the stockies though. get a chance to test them out last night?

[Tocchi]

needs to be lower ;)

[INSINR8R]

Needs moar two tone.

[TJ]

I havnt been paying much attention to this

Fucking nice!

[Stef]

needs moar burnout pics.

[R3N]

saw this on cruise tonite. Awesome looking car, i think wing needs to stay. Suprised how well 35 R rims fit

Cheers! and wing needs to goooo


+1 For Kuek obtaining new air filter

Working out other intake options atm, trying to get some piping made up and move the filter location


where did you get the brakes from?

From the US, kit came with everything I needed (bar some bolts but no biggie)


infiniti so im guessing must be from the states? they look like a good upgrade over the stockies though. get a chance to test them out last night?

Weather was crap last night, didn't get to fully test them out but they stop good :D


needs to be lower ;)

I will get around to it eventually

[R3N]

Sorting out some boost issues atm, car isn't making any boost in the lower rpm range, haven't hit redline yet so not sure what boost it will hit. Couple of issues to address, have fixed a minor leak where the intake pipe and AFM join, the AFM plastic looks slightly warped ie. no longer flat, but a thicker o-ring has fixed that for now. Still wasn't boosting.

Have adjusted the bypass valve as I can hear air leaking out through it, it's not closing early enough. Will do a proper test tomorrow morning but seems to be making boost slightly earlier. Other possible cause is a loose belt, not sure how tight they should be, but will have a play with the tensioner tomorrow as I have read the belt slipping might be probem here.

[VRX]

Being centrifugal they need lots of revs to boost and with yours only boosting to 6psi means the pulley is larger so it spins slower therefore boost comes on slower and higher in the rev range.

So i'd wait until you can rev it higher before getting to worried.

[monk_13]

Meh, it's broken. Sell it to me real cheap. :D

[Jimmy_S]

Very nice... this is moving along quickly and looking awesome! :)

[jivlah]

just saw your car on highroad.....dude so bombed!

So i'd wait until you can rev it higher before getting to worried.

Took it out for a quick squirt today, still not making any boost in the higher rev range, almost to redline. Boost gauge won't read any positive pressure. Couple things left for me to check up on before I completely go insane. The bypass valve adjustment has somewhat helped. Will retension the drive belt and see how I go, I'm praying its just that.

[R3N]

It was working fine till I brought it over to yours! :p

Cheers, were you in your 180? I remember seeing one during my travels today. Was I booting it hard on high road? ;)

[yeahlow34]

Be careful about over-tensioning the blower belt. Keep in mind that the belt will be tighter when warm/hot, so it's cold state isn't a true representation.

Too tight a blower belt can/will result in bearings wearing/failing, and general early wear and tear. Best time to check tension is after a drive when the engine is at operating temperature.

what have you done with brett? there was no gay connotations at all in that post.

[R3N]

yup, gonna tension it right after a drive when in a slightly expanded state. then should be all sweet once cold. is there a guideline to how tight it should be? at the moment, when its cold, you can sort of twist the belt

[monk_13]

All part of my grand plan!!

But seriously, yeahlow34 speaks the truth. When you got here the other day, belt tension didn't seem to bad whilst I was disconn... I mean having a look around.

First things I would be doing IMO would be to get a new air filter, as that squashed up thing would be restricting flow a lot. And put that boost gauge on another car to see if it is working and/or get a new one. Eliminate the simple things first, then delve deeper if there is still a problem.

[R3N]

Shane i have taken put the filter and given it a good clean and it was full of crap. I can only get that filter from vortech but im trying to figure out an alternative intake set up.

Im going to test the gauge properly as well. Trying to eliminate all the easy fixes like you said

[Macca]

My belt when cold i can nearly twist it all the way round.

Erm who is talking about high revs for boost.....Mine starts making boost at 1000rpm and up to 11psi by the time i hit 3500rpm

[esky]

and up to 11psi by the time i hit 3500rpm

You've got more lag then a turbo.

[AGIT8D]

^^ Centrifical or rootes?

[jivlah]

It was working fine till I brought it over to yours! :p





Cheers, were you in your 180? I remember seeing one during my travels today. Was I booting it hard on high road? ;)


nah man, i was in my dad's 4wd on my way to uni. i only caught you while i was going through the intersection of varhland ave. i was like....wait are those 35 rims...dam thats dope :P

[mitchy]

centrifugal blowers are laggy like turbos... not all superchargers are "instant" like people think.
you initially have to overcome the drag the blower puts on the engine

[Macca]

^^ Centrifical or rootes?

centrifigal

[c.rusli]

3500 isnt that bad! actually some turbo hits 4800 LOL

i hit 1.5 on 3200.. and thats is not laggy

[Sfidz]

Im going to test the gauge properly as well. Trying to eliminate all the easy fixes like you said

piss off that supercheap quality gauge.

[joshg123]

My thoughts lie with a slightly popped cooler pipe, engine will still run fine with one popped. Silicones are about a inch too short and the hose clamps have to sit right on the end of the silicones.... not really ideal to seal. Perhaps some road vibrations has upset this. Kuek, you could just run some soapy solution around the pipes and see if they bubble, as the charger still develops positive airflow at idle (as you noticed with that air flow meter o-ring).

Id try that first. If the engine is running fine off boost and at idle you can eliminate any of that intake plenum or throttle body area as it would behave all silly if you had a air leak there. Its got to be either charger or somewhere between charger and throttle body. Soapy solution is your friend here.

[R3N]

Not baller enough for defis

Silicones are about a inch too short and the hose clamps have to sit right on the end of the silicones.... not really ideal to seal. Perhaps some road vibrations has upset this. Kuek, you could just run some soapy solution around the pipes and see if they bubble, as the charger still develops positive airflow at idle (as you noticed with that air flow meter o-ring).

Id try that first. If the engine is running fine off boost and at idle you can eliminate any of that intake plenum or throttle body area as it would behave all silly if you had a air leak there. Its got to be either charger or somewhere between charger and throttle body. Soapy solution is your friend here.

Good idea, will give it a go, was planning on doing a boost leak test on the system, this will be a good start. Cheers Josh!

Hey Mate.
The car looks good!
Are you keen for a photoshoot on the rig soon?
I will see what mags are interested - can slide it into PSC in the next issue if you want.
Let me know what you think - send a pm with your number if you want, we can arrange an afternoon to do some pics :)

Cheers,
Jordan.

[yeahlow34]

yup, gonna tension it right after a drive when in a slightly expanded state. then should be all sweet once cold. is there a guideline to how tight it should be? at the moment, when its cold, you can sort of twist the belt

Don't worry too much how loose it is when it's cold. This doesn't matter really, as it's the operating temperature tension you want to get right. But for arguments sake, it should be fairly easily twisted when cold.

To give you an idea, the supercharger belt on my hotrod (at max operating temperature, i.e fully warmed up) has approximately 1-2cm movement. So for example, when you pull it, you can get approximately 1-2cm of movement from static position. This effectively is the 'tightest' the belt will run.

Different type of supercharger application I know, but you get the idea. Assuming your setup is tooth, I would suggest similar tension.

In that case the belt would have the correct tension. Narrowing it down to boost leak or fucked boost gauge. Need to borrow a boost gauge to test. Hit 5psi on the gauge last night at close to redline. Pretty difficult to watch tacho, speedo and boost gauge at the same time lol

I want to make my own mistakes!

[c.rusli]

Need a co Driver to watch ur boost? :p

[yeahlow34]

Has there ever, EVER, been a better excuse for a burnout?

Watch all the gauges whilst sitting on the brake. Madpingpingpingping stylez

Isn't it only a 6psi pulley? Or are you saying that in the mid range it was not even on 5psi? You need to borrow my Fat Gecko and camera, set it up on the window and go run some trials so you can watch footage.

[R3N]

The pulley that's on there should be making 8-9psi. Nope not even 5 psi in the mid range. Could be something as simple as a fucked/crappy gauge but I want to go through the whole process of elimination, might need a co-driver or a camera set up. When I hit 5 psi, I had a look over at my speedo and almost topped out :P NEED NAWS!

[Sfidz]

. Pretty difficult to watch tacho, speedo and boost gauge at the same time lol

Defi's have recall and record feature :P

[joshg123]

Does it change its noise Kuek when zou plant it? After i built it after about half throttle it would close its bzpass valve and have a obvious change in engine note

[R3N]

Yup bypass shuts when you go on hard throttle. Have adjusted it slightly so it closes earlier

Now... couple of updates...

Went to see Karl and got the headlight overlays put on. How a person who is so critical of one's use of the English language can be so skillful with a knife is beyond me, or is that totally intentional?

Crappy pics as it has gone dark while I was playing with the suspension
http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo353/R3N/headlight2.jpg

Also lowered the rear all the way down, it is currently sitting just above the tyre which gives it a much better stance.

Now, boost issues... hooked up the gauge I borrowed from Tocchi, turns out I AM boosting (FUUUU supercheap gauge) and hit about ~5psi at 4k rpmish. Didn't take it much higher as I was in traffic all day. Will try a better run later. Either that or Tocchi's gauge is also broken and I need to borrow another :p Previously, I did have a feeling I was boosting anyway but obviously didn't know how much.

And also tensioned up the belt a little more, but haven't taken it for a drive since, expecting boost to come on much earlier now (going to replace the belts on there anyway just to be on the safe side)

Awesome boost gauge install as well:
http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo353/R3N/vac.jpg

Car is going in to ASG next week, need to drop the oil and change the oil filter this weekend and try to troubleshoot some more. But that's about it for now

Totally intentional.

Get it right or I'll stab you.

Car looks awesome on those rims mate.

[R3N]

Pulled off all the piping and redid them while I dropped the oil and put a new oil filter in. Have new silicone joiners on order as well. Tightened up the belt a little more, also have a new belt on order. And got a new boost gauge. Took the car out for a drive... and hit 8psi @ close to redline, might have 9psi in it yet! Very happy with how it drives now. Bring on the tune!

[R3N]

cbf with those, plus they are 52mm, all custom jobbies.

finished wiring up the gauges tonight, well not entirely, still not 100% on the positioning and where to put the control box etc. only boost is hooked up for now. need to get adapters for the water temp, oil temp/press (i think, unsure if i have a factory press switch but i do have a factory sandwich plate). Only crap thing is that I just dropped the oil on friday, so will wait until the next service to hook up the oil gauges

did the tails, fucked up, took the headlight ones to karl (pgc on here, that dude's got skill)

[joshg123]

You do have a spot you can put a oil temp/press down where the s/charger picks up its feed. If you can get a male-female 1/8 NPT T fitting for the sensor to screw into you can make it work easily

[R3N]

Are you talking about the sandwich plate that's on there Josh? Its some sort of an oil cooler that coolant flows through. Haven't had a good look at it to see what I can fit to it, will have a look when I'm under there next.

[180SXTCY]

getting a 1/8 npt t peice shouldnt be a problem. just got to enzed or one of the major hose/fitting places.

Having the cooler mostly covered up by the front bar isn't going to help warding off ping and subsequent boom.

I agree on different front bar, but will make do for now. If I change the front bar, I have to change the rest of the kit too to match up.

Definite yes on that bootlid... wouldn't hack the front bar too much personally...

I'd investigate moving the FMIC to one side and match it with a tranny or oil cooler on the other?

[monk_13]

Or another possibilty, is to see if the twin coolers from the Jim Wolf twin turbo kit will fit in there somehow. Although I think from memory, it requires some cutting of the radiator support.

Your car is looking hot by the way bro, top job

[180SXTCY]

how can you run more boost with high comp pistons?

i thought the higher in compression you go the more prone you are to pinging/detonation.

running higher comp would help a turbo car over come lag however?
