For those that are interested, I finally got the car back today :hyper::hyper:

 

Teaser pic, I have 80+ of the build in various stages which will be posted in due course

 

 

Still loads of odds and ends to sort out before it's on the road

Edited June 13, 200916 yr by jaffa

Glad to help out today, speak soon :)

IMPRESSIVE!!!!! :bow: :bow:

very nice mate, chuffed for ya

loving it well done mate, if you mind me asking how much has it cost up to now?

Bloody hell! Nice work mate! Good to see some proven high power graphs! :bow:

lovely mate. what power is expected when maxed tubs are pushed furhter and boost leaks fixed?

looking good matey, nearly there :)

Nice stuff :D

 

 

these needed trimming as they were sitting in the bigger Throttle Bodies

 

HICAS solonoid removed

 

N/A PS pump, modified to fit with the larger piping

 

Hi - looking really good - which throttle bodies did you opt for in the end - from another car - or 300Degree?

 

Keep the pictures coming man - love it.

They're 60mm TB's off another Nissan. Don't know the model as I picked up the polished plenum/ TBs together from another member some time ago

if you have to ask ...

must be getting onto 40k for the whole car now over the last 4years (not including insurance and fuel)

:shock:

Cheers - maybe 280ZX then I believe they had a 60mm TB - I will check it out...

Nope - it was the 240SX that came with the 60mm TB apparently

Somehow managed to miss this thread. Congrats mate, nice work and looks like it paid off :D

Next jobs

Adjust clutch to get 5th gear back

tidy up ECU wiring

micolor clamps all round and serious boost leak test

 

Right some progress updates

 

1) Clutch adjusted & bled and shifter refitted = 5th gear back

2) Carbon prop removed, stock prop fitted + urathane gearbox mount = vibrations over 90mph gone!

3) ECU wiring tidied up

4) Small fortune spent on Miklor clamps and fitted by Silverbullet = no more boost leaks

 

Result equals torque, torque and torque :)

 

No graphs today but making boost 1,000 rpm sooner, 500 ftlb of torque and similar power at 1.2bar compared to 1.6bar previously.

 

Still have ignition problems, Ryan is speaking to AEM about best way forward.

TBH i never had any issues with the CAS but i believe some of the skyline boys did and it was just a case of the AEM didnt like some of the CAS's LOL so try a couple of different ones?? i have a spare if you want to try it?

 

and the throttle bodies were froma 240sx ;) another part from my old build LOL there still doing the rounds :rofl:

Thanks, measured the TB's the other day as needed to put beter fitting silicon reducers on and they are 70mm OD :eek:

 

Will let you know on the CAS, appreciate the offer!

Cool... Good to see...

 

Very intereted to see your final results as our specs are very similar and same turbos.

Little more progress today. Thanks to Ryan and Silverbullit as usual and special thanks to Zedworld for lending me 3 CAS units :) Armed with spares the first one worked flawlessly and after swapping out a dodgy spark plug I've finally gotten rid of my misfires!

 

Can now use full throttle which is nice and have updated dyno graphs. Peak figures are slightly down as this is at 1.3bar (1.6 previously) but look at the power band! :devil2:

 

Enough tuning for the winter, will go back to turn up the boost in the spring when the weather improves. Turbos are waiting to be unleashed so should be fun:taz:

 

flywheel

 

 

rear wheel

 

very nice figure there mate :bow: :bow: lost 18% through the drivetrain - what transmission is your Z and was the rolling road done on a cylinder or straight off the hub?

dyno dynamics dyno which is cylinder based. Manual Transmission

impressive power ..!!

584 bhp at 18ish psi, bloomin eck, what could you run the tubs up to?

Nice!
