Hi all,

Last November my car had an "incident" with a fence,and while waiting for it to come back from the smash repairers i deceided to go all out on the motor.My focus is reliability and efficiency,aswell as some nice streetable power.Every week since then has been like xmas,as pressies arrive at my door.

The last parts have been ordered and will be arriving next week.List as follows:

CP pistons(9.0:1CR) 20thou over
Spool rods
Cometic 1.2mm MLS head gasket
Nissan gasket kit
Tomei valve springs
Tomei 256 Poncams
Tomei oil gallery restrictor
JUN crank collar
Custom head to sump oil drain
N1 oil pump
Greddy plenum
Greddy throttle adapter
Nismo 740c injectors
Nismo fuel pump
Nismo engine mounts
ARP head,main,rod and exhaust studs
ACL Race series main and rod bearings
Splitfire coils
GT3037 .82 turbo (has the slotted cover for that T51r sound)
GCG Stainless highmount manifold
Turbosmart 38mm Ultragate

All controlled by a Haltech E11v2.

The block and crank will be cleaned up and prepped (honed,linished,balanced,grub screwed ect)

Still trying to decide if im going to wrap or coat the manifold? Also im looking at buying a new crank collar.Is it worth getting one?

Please give me your thoughts and all suggestions welcome.

Ill be posting some pics as the build progresses.

Ooh yeah i'll be watching this!!! Good luck mate! PM me with more info ie tuning/builder

Hey mate,

Have you got/thought about a Oil return line from the head to the sump and a oil gallery restrictor? and sump baffle?

Cheers

Yeh mate,picking up a oil restrictor tomorrow from Hi Octane

Sounds good mate, what management you planning on using?

Looking foward to seeing this thread progress

Should be a bit of a weapon!

Hey, ive got the gcg manifold, and although theyre thick walled stainless and look pretty good, its really easy to make a bracket from the manifold turbo flange to the head. Theres a hole in the head thats positioned perfectly. Its really simple but effective at supporting the significant mass of the turbo etc.
In the picture of the turbo, you can just see the black bracket behind the earls fitting on the engine side of the turbo. I just tapped some threads into the T4 manifold flange and used a 12mm bolt to secure the bracket to the head

Also, i got all my hot bits ceramic coated and, although expensive i think its worth the added thermal effeciency. I also wrapped my dump pipe and wastegate pipe. You can touch it when its running!

Any reason you didnt go with the 44mm wastegate?

Shaun.

I will be wrapping the dump pipe for sure.How much did you get charged for the coatings?

I bought the turbo gate and manifold in a package.The 38mm will be up to the task though.

Wow that looks nice.Is that two pipe joining into one at the wastegate?

Thats a very nice setup man, I look forward to seeing how it comes out. Its basically what I'd like mine to end up being like - capable of a LOT of very useable power.

Thanks.I will be tuning it for 22-24psi.I havent seen many 3037s make well into the 300s.So we will see how it goes.

hey dave good luck with everything!

Just a thought, a lot of guys building tough 26's use basically all goo except for the head gasket...food for thought

and a big congrats on the 740s, was very very easy to tune with on mine compared to the sards on the r34. I have the tomei/nismo pump too and all seems ok so think your fine for fuel for a while.
Z32 AFM is fine too, but you could always go haltech instead of powerfc, makes the plumbing a lot easier anyway i wish i had

maybe we trial fit my rips plenum while your motors out too. then i can finally decide wether to sell it or not

Bring the plenum around and we will have a look.

mine made 314rwkw at 19psi, 0.63 rear and Water meth injection.

With cams, 0.82 rear, and a fresh engine, and 22psi, you'll shit it in.

Also, my powercurve looked like a V8's.

I think the manifold was about $220 + $80 for the dump. I got these done at competition coatings in sydney, but i sent the turbine housing down to HPC in Melbourne because i heard that they were the best. This cost about $220.

The wastegate comes from the collector via two pipes and then into one.

Cheers.

finished yet dave?

Dave the collar is easy. Dont buy one.

Leave it to sam.
