Manifold is cast. although it is possible to weld it, it is not a simple task and is somewhat prone to cracking afterwards. I also think it would sit too hi...

Nope. How it is in my car is how harsh it is. Which isnt add bad as your car is currently. Under full power it's smoother though. The kickdown cable needs to be set right though as they will die from not being right.

calvintibia001

@Vee_Que I have adjust the kick down cable before I leave, it feels way better now, it holds onto the gear longer

Vee_Que

It should change into second at qaurter throttle by 3000rpm

calvintibia001

@Vee_Que sounds about right, prevously the problem is going uphill, when I give it a bit more throttle, it just kicks down.
After the trip to Melbourne, I adjusted it like a week after that, now when I go uphill, give it a bit more throttle, it just holds onto the gear and then accelerate, which is near perfect : )

Ok, another insane idea, now brakes, actually I have mentioned before, I want big brakes, coz I want to fill the 17" rims that I am getting
I am thinking
Front: XC90 caliper with 336mm slotted disc
Rear: 940 Jumbo (front) caliper with 302mm slotted (front) disc
The thickness of the disc is correct to the caliper clearance

Only problem I can think of is the brake lines ? And the brake bake ? And the mounting adapters
What else would go wrong ?

Vee_Que

Handbrake will be the issue. Can't comment much further than that.

calvintibia001

This ?

More Benchracing, see how this Evo TD05HR-16G6 mounts, could I just use the stock NA manifold, make a short pipe from the exhaust flange to a Evo Turbo Flange and mount the Turbo and make a dump pipe, it looks way easier than making a J-Pipe to a T3 Top Mount Turbo.
The Oil and Coolant should be correct, so there is no need to rotate the CHRA ?

jamesinc

I think you'd have trouble doing it like that. What about this that I just found on the Turbobricks Facebook page?

calvintibia001

@jamesinc thats the J-Pipe idea, I have posted some pic on the first page of this post,

calvintibia001;3069 wrote

but won't it be easier to make a short piece of pipe ? and the TD05-16G6 is big enough for my application, and I don't have to rotate the turbo and stuff, just make the flange horizontal enough and it should be fine ?

Revival of the BenchRacing Thread, this is how my car stands at the moment:

E85
LH2.4 (Chips coming)
(Wastedspark coming)
B230FB + 531 Head (VX3 Cam)
Skyline 45v2 Turbo @ 10psi (14.7psi wastegate spring laying around)
3" Dump to stock NA Muffler
60lbs Injectors
Accumulator Mod

So Next step is to fix the car first and save up for Manual Conversion

I am also slowly gathering parts for a spare 531 head I have spare.
Thinking 46/40 Valves, RSI Stage 2 Cam, and maybe a better Exhaust Manifold
Really wanna put the Turbo back at where the Stock Manifold is, but I doubt it will have excellent flow though.

Question though, how does a GT3582R on a .73AR will spool on it

VX3 will be your biggest restriction ATM

It's decent haha, yeah, but I am going for a RSI Stage 2, since most people run KG2T instead ? But since I am swapping the cam, might as well, deck the head and put bigger valves in it right ? lol

nickm

VX3 is ok
Cam swaps are easily done without lifting the head.
Remove as little as possible on the head. You will not gain anything buy decking the head to decrease the combustion chamber size. More likely it will increase the chance of detonation.
The only way around increasing the compression ratio while decreasing detonation it is going to a tight squish. That involves decking the block. Or a thinner head gasket.

Vee_Que

Yep. And good luck with buying a RSi cam!

Talking about Squish, do I just measure cyclinder 1 ? And are stock Headgasket 0.049" thick ?

I am just keeping an eye out on TB if there is anyone goina sell their RSI Stage 2, I saw a V15 for sale, which is basically same as an IPD T Cam ?

deleted_user_160

Yeah good luck getting RSI.
I was in frequent contact with them right up until I was about to purchase (4 emails to and fro) then nothing, 3 emails since over he past month and no reply.

deleted_user_160
