Luke's GTi-R

[Magoogtir]

Hey guys. Got the car around 4 years back in pretty much standard form. It's a white 1993 GTi-R. Just got it back on the road after having a heap of custom fabrication done by good old Josh at MetalCraft Marine. Finally decided to put some pics up of the build and how it looks close to being finished. More pics to come later on

It's in a Allstar Garage at the moment trying to iron out some problems. It's getting a new fuel pump and 1000cc injectors. Hoping to get around 350hp at the wheels for the moment

[jaybee]

now thats a tight squeeze.

nice build, that fab work is awesome.

[Magoogtir]

a tight squeeze is an understatemant lol. Cheers dude. It's all Josh's handy work

[Lonewolf]

thats a pretty serious powerplant there, should be quick!
as mentioned, immaculate work by Josh

[Crispymk2]

Damn! That looks incredible! Nice setup mate

[Baggus]

Every time I see that engine bay it brings a massive smile to my face.

[Mistikal]

Very tight squeeze, looks good thou!

Any other pics of the car?

Hate to be nit-picky, but what's with the clear wrapping on the hoses to the W2A IC?

[Brockas]

Nice engine bay!

Will be good to see a big power GTi-R with a PPG box behind it!

[Magoogtir]

Yeah more pics to come. Photobucket is down at the moment lol.

Wanted the clear hoses for something different i guess.

[Magoogtir]

Nice engine bay!

Will be good to see a big power GTi-R with a PPG box behind it!

Cheers dude. I'm hoping for over the 500hp mark once the engine is built

[Milhouse]

Looks the goods mate, manage to fix ya oil feed hose ?

[Magoogtir]

nah not yet dude. I'm gonna have a look at it when i get it back from Allstar

[Tocchi]

needs more boost in it, sounds like a N/A lancer ;)

engine bay looks amazing :)
Josh sure has the golden touch when it comes to fabrication !

[180SXTCY]

hey mate, about time you put this up. remember drooling over this many a times when i was down at joshs workshop.

35r was a mission to get in there according to josh new front rad support n shiz!

how long until tim finishes up on it?

[Magoogtir]

Cheers Tocchi. Yeah he sure knows his stuff. Wouldn't take it to anyone else. I think he thinks the car is just as much his as it is mine now hahaha

Yeah the 35R was a bit of as mission but we were able to get away with not modifying the rad support thank god. Though we did notch out the top tank on the radiator just incase the turbo decides to headbutt it lol. It's all done at Tims. It's now up at Allstar Garage getting a nice thorough dyno tune. Should be able to go get it tomorow hopefully

[180SXTCY]

awesome stuff mate.

keep up update with the progress, and no one disturb Josh. hes busy. :P

[VT SS]

I remember having runs with this back when you had the stock turbo out dawesville way haha my mate JB owns that black gtir .

Cant wait to see this on the road again should be quite a little weapon !

[Gurney]

Very nice, wanted a GTiR since I was 16 but still procrastinating getting one now =\

[Magoogtir]

hahahaha i remember that. Good times. I think the outcome now would be a little different though lol.
Yeah it's gonna be good out on the road again where it belongs. Spent too long in workshops haha

[Magoogtir]

Very nice, wanted a GTiR since I was 16 but still procrastinating getting one now =\

They're awesome fun though parts are expensive and of the shelf parts are few and far between. But if your a patient person they're great cars and fun to race in against peaople who don't know what they are hahaha

[VT SS]

oh yeah without a doubt your car will rape mine haha hopefully it all gets sorted i'll keep my eyes open for it on the road anyway haha

[duste]

The amount of man-hours spent on this by Josh is incredible, and it shows in the details of the build. This will be THE definition of a hot hatch when the engine is built. :)

Would an off-the-shelf strut brace fit over the manifold and associated piping? Surely there's going to be a fair bit of twist induced on the chassis/body on a hard launch now that it's got a turbo the size of Pluto strapped to the engine. :P

[Magoogtir]

I'll be waiting hahaha

[Gurney]

They're awesome fun though parts are expensive and of the shelf parts are few and far between. But if your a patient person they're great cars and fun to race in against peaople who don't know what they are hahahaI have a bit more mechanical sympathy than most so constant launches and helis wouldn't be a common activity, I wouldn't be doing any extreme modifications. Just the basic bolt on stuff, already had enough stress with my last highly modified car and want something a little less intense. Got a SSS at the moment which I had as my first car, still prefer to drive that over anything else I've owned so I've got a soft spot for Pulsars :)

Yeah the strut brace still fits in. Just didn't have it on in these pics. Next time it comes off the raod it's getting a full cage and seam welding treatment so it doesn't snap in half hahaha

Well i like to think that they're quite reliable in a pretty stock form. I have no major problems with my car when i first had it. The gearbox was the first major overhaul but mechanically it was awesome

[GTiR1080]

Bit of work to fit that turbo in there. Will be good to see how it goes.

[AGIT8D]

HELISSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looking forward to getting some video footage of this little shopping cart this weekend if you get it back from ASG :D

[AGIT8D]

Bit of work to fit that turbo in there. Will be good to see how it goes.

Lots of work would be a more accurate description! Lots of triple measuring to get it all right and minimise re-work.. End result speaks for itself though.. Should boogey down the 1/4 mile with slicks

[280zx racer]

Hey Luke took a while to get the pics up but looks awesome, better in the flesh though. sms when you get the dyno numbers, Marcs is supposed to go back on the dyno friday.:)

[Magoogtir]

yeah a cruise will be good. Should get it back tomorow hopefully. Can't wait to stretch it's legs down the drags

[Magoogtir]

Hey Luke took a while to get the pics up but looks awesome, better in the flesh though. sms when you get the dyno numbers, Marcs is supposed to go back on the dyno friday.:)

My bad lol. I came around to your house the day i got it back but you were up the hill. Still hope it will do 350. Had to get 1000cc injectors and a new fuel pump cause the most they could get with the old stuff on it was 270 and that was an epic fail haha

[Lonewolf]

didnt see it on your modlist, but if you dont have one, put a rear swaybar in, best mod to do.
And any brake upgrade?

[Magoogtir]

yeah i forgot to put up the whiteline swaybar lol. And still got the crap stock brakes but i'm going to look into the ones on that link you put up on the other thread just befor. It hell needs better brakes haha

[ecent]

Nice PPG box man!

How fast ET you expect?

I want to see this thing go around a track too.

[AGIT8D]

I think it did a 12.0-12.2 before all the new work..

With a decent tune, a nice screw in of boost, some ice in the slush box and a decent set of tyres it should walk into 11's. Only time will tell though :D

[Turbo2.6L]

Is Naice!
Josh does some mint work, but didn't know he was making exhaust manifolds??

[AGIT8D]

He makes whatever :) Lobster, titanium, if you want, he can make lol

[180SXTCY]

He makes whatever :) Lobster, titanium, if you want, he can make lol

QFT.

if u can dream of it Josh will make it.

[Magoogtir]

hahaha that's about it. He does some mental stuff. I'm pretty sure my manifold was the first he's done. Come up awesome

[http://i692.photobucket.com/albums/vv286/magoogtir/Photo444.jpg

http://i692.photobucket.com/albums/vv286/magoogtir/Photo446.jpg

Yeah the car did a 12.4 on the stock engine, turbo and ecu so it should see mid 11s or under on street tyres hopefully. A set of drag radials should see it lower again

[180SXTCY]

^ porn. did u get it ceramic coated or anything?

[Magoogtir]

yeah got the manifold and the turbo rear housing coated

[4A10SHN]

That was a prick but not as hard as setting up that barrel cooler solid to the engine.... Or maybe the exhaust. No fab work on that project was easy. Roll on S15

[Magoogtir]

But you loved it hahaha

[180SXTCY]

Good man. i dont wanna see that welder switched off haha

[monga]

Killer dude, good to see you posted it up here.

[Frankie-gtir]

this car is amazing.. theres a gtir meet @ hillarys on the 17th of december, 8PM meeting time..
would be awesome to see this thing in the metal...

[Magoogtir]

yeah i heard about that. I'll try to make it if i remember lol

[AGIT8D]

Any updates on the rig mate?

[VT SS]

So is this thing back on the road now or what Luke ? because if it is next time JB's back in town we gotta go for a cruise hey he built the engine in his and has a little turbo (in comparison to your radiator capacity compromising beast) on it and his brother has just joined the N14 cult with a N14 SSS with a u13 sr20det swap but he just frys the fronts hard haha has a little turbo on it big injectors pump/fmic gauges the lot goes hard but just makes mush of the 17's pitty it looks like grandma's shopping trolley hahaha so yeah man you all should go for a cruise !

[AGIT8D]

It's still at ASG - it would have been all over facebook if he picked it up lol. Just had to cop new injectors, fuel pump and then a tweak of the tune + cold idle, plus the boys there had to work on some other cars aside from Luke's little lunch box. Shouldn't be any reason why he won't pick it up this week, hopefully as early as today :)

[KPWISHN]

Good to hear it's nearly there Luke. Looking great mate. Bet you're anxious/excited.

[AGIT8D]

You home Lew?

[Magoogtir]

Still waiting. Yeah sounds good. Haven't heard from JB in ages. Would be good for a big catch up


Good to hear it's nearly there Luke. Looking great mate. Bet you're anxious/excited.
Hell excited. I just hope it pulls the power i'm after and stays in one piece hahaha


Any updates on the rig mate?

Should be back in my hot little hands tomorow. I think i just made happy wees haha

[AGIT8D]

Luke got this down the drags tonight straight after picking it up from ASG. After some teething issues getting used to the box again and unfortunately not able to knowingly dial in revs with a broken tacho he got a PB of 12.32. Unsure of the 60' but the closest run after this was a 12.5x with a 2.2' so there is plenty of room in it.

PB before the mods was a 12.4x on a 1.7' so there is half a second in the launch alone which equates to a bit more down the other end.

Time to wire up the tacho and fill that slush box with ice!! Car had tonnes of people with their heads stuck under the bonnet all night lol

[duste]

Only a 0.08s decrease in times? :/

Lag? Low boost?

[4A10SHN]

Considering his driven it a handful of times since it left my shop I'd say his still getting used to it. Still need ice, 2 step and antilag set up and the driver needs a re tune :)

[AGIT8D]

Only a 0.08s decrease in times? :/

Lag? Low boost?

12.4 @ 1.7'... the 12.32 wouldn't have been below 2.0 I wouldn't think, not with a 12.5 @ 2.2'.

Lag doesn't seem to be too much of a problem, it was bogging down on a few runs and Luke missed 2nd a couple of times as well. Just need to get everything working together.

It's running 20psi, made 315awhp, in desperate need of some aftermarket cams to get it breathing.

Don't forget this car has been off the road for 9-10 months, Luke had it for about a week before he gave it to ASG to tune and only got it back this afternoon. Pretty good result IMO, moreso when you consider he has no tacho and didn't touch the limiter once so was probably short shifting as well.

[VT SS]

Fuck yeah little weapon ! Well done Luke !

[VT SS]

What mph did he run ?

[AGIT8D]

I can't remember off the top of my head, one of the runs was at 179km/h I think.

[monga]

Great work man, huge amount of potential ahead to use on the track.

[Charger]

Congrats Luke. Looked killer last night mate, some awesome metal work under the engine bay. Looking at your 60ft last night you've definitely got mid-low 11s in it once you get it back down to 1.6-1.7s. It's a little ripper!

[Magoogtir]

CHeers guys. Yeah i didn't want to hurt it last night so i went easy on most of the launches resualting in quite a bit of bogging of the line. Also launching with no tacho is not easy especially with a new setup. Once the tacho is fixed and the 2 step is up and running should easily see those 60ft times come down. Lag wasn't a problem thank god. When launched right it left the line on boost and stayed on till the finish. The short shifting was from the stock cams giving the higher revs a bit of trouble. As soon as i felt it start to struggle i changed up.

So all in all the times i ran last night were pretty dissapointing but should be quite easy to improve on once a few little things are taken care of. Looking forward to the next run

[180SXTCY]

certainly moves out alright.

[deaf_rattle]

liking the engine bay, nice work.

[2LMILK]

love it luke, we have a pga cruise end jan, you better be there

[JieLine]

Hot stuff Luke! Love the engine bay, I'm sure you will dip into the 11s in due time

[AGIT8D]

Apparently Luke has a tacho that works now, hot damn! Be good to see how it performs with some below ambient intakes and a decent launch/shift combo.

[Magoogtir]

cheers guys. Yeah pretty keen to fill up the tank with ice once the baffle is put in. Should be a little easier to launch now i can see what she's revving at. Also got the 2 step set up and sitting on around 6250rpm. Should make the launches even more fun lol. Big cheers to Dan for making that sweet vid of my crap driving hahaha

[180SXTCY]

2 step + sr20 = rocker arm breakage's haha

[AGIT8D]

He needs an excuse to pull the motor out and stroke it haha.

[180SXTCY]

lol the two step claimed a mate of mine sr20 at powercruise haha

[Magoogtir]

the 2 step should be a little easier on the engine being set at 6250rpm than launching it at 7500rpm like i was befor the upgrade lol

[34jzgte]

Fark yeah, good to see its all going well, what stroker you going to get?

[Magoogtir]

not too sure yet. Was lookin at the Brian Crower gear

[2LMILK]

hks, you know you want to :)

[Lonewolf]

be better off with a VE head, then rev to 9000rpm.

[Magoogtir]

yeah i was thinking of looking for one cause heaps of people use them and get awesome results. And i recon i'd go Tomei befor HKS :)

[Magoogtir]

The boot of the car befor and after spray painting for Motorvation

[duste]

Not long to go now! What's left to do dude?

[Magoogtir]

heaps lol. Need to polish a heap more stainless bolts then it gets detailed tomorow so then i can pull out all of the stainless parts and polish them all then it all goes back together. Gonna be a busy week lol

[KPWISHN]

Boot come up looking good Luke. Will come find you at MV and check out the finished product.

[AGIT8D]

Cleaning car for Motorvation eh.. Interesting tactic. At this rate I'll be taking mine there dirty, so much cbf!

[cplagz]

LOL - is your battery/box held in with a zip tie? Do like this!

[Magoogtir]

Cheers dude. I was pretty happy with the finished product. Looks shit loads better than it did.

Dan your a slack shit haha. I guess it's just gonna get caked up with rubber anyway :)
And if your not doing your car you could come and help me tonight down the shop if you feel like being charitable lol

[Magoogtir]

LOL - is your battery/box held in with a zip tie? Do like this!

lol sure is. I went to the drags and i forgot to tie it down and all i could get my hands on was cable ties. They let me race and it's been like that ever since haha

[AGIT8D]

Cheers dude. I was pretty happy with the finished product. Looks shit loads better than it did.

Dan your a slack shit haha. I guess it's just gonna get caked up with rubber anyway :)
And if your not doing your car you could come and help me tonight down the shop if you feel like being charitable lol

Hahahaha good luck with that :) A tonne of stuff needs doing to mine before MV but it's been neglected so I have accepted I may be coming home on a tilt tray!

Found a big truck/ute to tie your car to so you can drop gears yet? :D

[Magoogtir]

not yet though your car is nice and heavy so we could tie it to that lol.

And you best be taking me for some laps through the snake pit

[180SXTCY]

seen this thing in the flesh yesterday, must say Luke I'm a massive fan!!

[Magoogtir]

cheers dude. Can't wait to see your car all finished. Looked sweet tonight. The intercooler came up good to after the clean and respray

[AGIT8D]

http://www.totaltravel.com/images/photos/108796/325024.jpg

[Milhouse]

Pretty fast Poo-Sar Luke :)

Congrats on the 11.9 !

[AGIT8D]

Track was balls from what I hear, the little lunch box was just peeling out every launch.

Not sure what difference a set of ET Streets will make if he can't warm them up with a skid like the GTR's do with the key off/on love.

Regardless, 11's in street trim and tyres second time back at the track is a great effort, with more to come.

[rexzist1]

Finally got into 11s saw your last run and it was a nice launch with a bit of ridding clutch good effort.

Bty i'm benny I came up to you and had a chat about the car...

[180SXTCY]

good work luke!

[4A10SHN]

Was a great night down at the track. Putting ice in the cooler and bringing the intake temps right down was making it hard to get decent 60ft times. We ran the car with just a water setup for the last 2 passes and it spun a lot less and got the 60ft times down.

I think the next move will be a set of 15" rims with some decent rubber and another go with the ice. We went through 5 bags of ice in 4 runs and the cooler was still chilled by the time the car drove back to the pits.

[AGIT8D]

How easy is it to log intake temps and see how low they're dropping?

[4A10SHN]

Need to get an EMS logger...

You can see how frosted up the cooler and ice box went with the ICE packed in ready to go....

[180SXTCY]

haha Josh fukn chillen ur mother in his ice :P

[AGIT8D]

Ooooh yeah, that's working well!!

[goodie]

Saw this at the drags last night, thing fucking moves! i spent a bit of time drooling over the engine bay aswell

[Magoogtir]

Cheers guys. Was an awesome night and the car got plenty of attention. The ice was sweet though the added power was hard to get off the line with the street tyres. Cheers again to Josh for all his help last night.

Next time need better tyres and more ice :)

[ryanr32]

Motor is facing the wrong way brah

[Magoogtir]

it has so much torque that it twisted itself around.

Awesome pics Bernie :)

[Jumanji]

Mate, that is an awesome GTI-R, and the engine bay looks awesome.

I saw it at motorvation and was very impressed.

[KPWISHN]

Was good fun the other night Luke. Great to see it pull that 11. Congratulations.

[Magoogtir]

Cheers heaps guys :)

[31-EVO]

11 is decennnt, surely could do a 10 though yeah ?

[4A10SHN]

With an engine that doesn't have stock pistons, cams and rods... Yeah sure

Cute! The last time I saw that many similar little boxes together was when I opened my tupperware draw ;)

[2LMILK]

and i was thinking you were gunna say a strip club :)
and why do you have a dedicated tupperware draw

[AGIT8D]

Little boxes and strip club? I'm afraid it rarely works that way!

So I know where they are when I need to crisply store some of my exceptional food. :)

[Magoogtir]

Your yet to cook me some of this exeptional food

[AGIT8D]

Bring the mrs and we've got a deal!

[Magoogtir]

sold

[2LMILK]

maby not the best word, sold.
the missis might not like you selling her for dinner :)

[Magoogtir]

She would if it was a good dinner lol. Nah i wouldn't trade her for anything :)

[2LMILK]

even a wet nos kit and full forged bottom end :)

[sprint347]

Love it.

I'll have to speak to Metalcraft once I've got my W2A bits, how do you find the PWR cooler?

[Magoogtir]

even a wet nos kit and full forged bottom end :)

Not even all that :)


Love it.

I'll have to speak to Metalcraft once I've got my W2A bits, how do you find the PWR cooler?

The cooler is good. Still waiting to get some gauges hooked up to it so i can monitor it better. I think when it was getting tuned the intake temp was around the 40deg mark and only went as high as 45deg when on full boost

[Baggus]

Looking good Luke, seen you drive past Sunday heading mandurah way then closely followed by a black Gtir that is not from around here... We will have to go for a burn when mine is finally going lol

[Magoogtir]

was that up in perth. I was on a pulsar cruise. How is yours going dude

[Baggus]

nah man you were going through the madora bay traffic lights. Yeah slowly getting there man block gets sleeved etc in the next few weeks. Very slow process tho lol

[AGIT8D]

Not even all that :)

That was without the ice additives etc right? Have you got intake vs ambient on a graph?

[Magoogtir]

yeah i can imagine. Only car it would have been was my girlfriends black Supra.
I just bought another engine to build. Only a small build though. Looking for 450-500atw. After that i'm building a drag engine :). now that's gonna be a long expensive build

[Magoogtir]

Yeah that was just normal water. Nah didn't get the graphs :(

Ice should be hella cold. Need to get the gauges

[Baggus]

Nice man, i found the best place for parts is america at the mo. Im aiming for 350hp atw should be fun, u found a brake kit yet? I found this the other day straight bolt on kit for under a $1000...

[Magoogtir]

Hell yes that kit looks like a winner. Brakes are probably the biggest hassle for our cars.
Dude 350atw will be hell fun. Even my 315 is fun. And does 11s lol

[Baggus]

Yeah man and it is so much easier than doing a r32/r33 brake conversion. You still have stock internals and make 315?? Fuck yeah 11s that is sick :)
When you going to join up on gtiroz, the guys will love you car...

[Magoogtir]

not sure. Been thinkin about it. Don't wanna be on to many forums

[AGIT8D]

We started a little side project last night, good for shiggles.

I went for a hot lap in this car too before the exhaust was ripped off. It feels more like a 500HP monster than a 315HP street car when it hooks up off a launch. Still munches tyres with revs, and the straight cuts sound so bombed. New engine will induce many shat pants.

[KPWISHN]

Bunch of MAD DAWGS!

[AGIT8D]

I'd expect the same request from you for the VX when it's time, Lew.

[Dzenci]

Metalcraft spec. :D That would be loud I'd imagine... Good stuff. Keeping it on just for MV or...

[AGIT8D]

Yeah it's getting trailered up today, street exhaust is going up as well in case it's a bit obnoxious for the MV staff, and then street exhaust will be replaced for street duties.

[2LMILK]

good work on the iR josh and luke,
car looks porn and sounds even better.

Hopefully more supercruise tomorrow

[Buckets]

Got a sound / video clip. Would be hilarious if you had it popping flames out the side in traffic. pingpingpingpings wouldn't know what happened.

[4A10SHN]

So very keen for the next step on this car, Roll cage - Engine build and Meth fuel setup

[Dzenci]

I can see 10's out of it with all the above mentioned. :)

Nice looking hatch tho, should blow a lot of doors apart when complete

[Magoogtir]

Sittin at Motorvation. Side pipes hiding under new carbon lip and canards
