the rest of society agrees with you InfernalTyrant.

by **iCER** » September 17th, 2011, 12:48 pm

oh yeah... bit of an update, got the car back the other day, put the xr8 bonnet on got the new fuel gear, braided lines, fuel reg, rail etc all fitted and retuned with a built motor. Put a catch can in it too now. Will prob repolish the rocker cover to match the shiny fuel rail we polished up. Currently making about a 450ish on 23psi as I need a boost controller to go more boost. Looking for an eboost2 atm so if you know anyone selling one cheap tell them to PM me.

Once i get that in ill get it retuned to 28/29psi. Will max out the current turbo setup which will hopefully be sufficient for a 9's pass.

Hear is a photo the engine bay. Ill take some more pics today. (And yes I will be replacing that hose on the top of the crank. Was just wacked there to get me by for last night lol)

Fair bit of grunt icer. While were talking about power and times. didn't that white thing (inflyte) do a 9 with 420rwkw

by **iCER** » September 17th, 2011, 1:09 pm

yes he did

mind you it was gutted to the shitter. Like no seats, no interior trim etc.... prob shaved like 100kg or so. Im pretty sure 450 through my convertor in my street trim might net me a 9.9x. So once i get the eboost ye no worries with the 9.

by **iCER** » September 17th, 2011, 8:29 pm

Taken today:

Next step is a full respray and eboost 2 controller for my 28/29psi tune. Then a 9....! Enjoy

by **WILDEL** » September 17th, 2011, 8:50 pm

that ba looks sexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by **justa6** » September 17th, 2011, 9:18 pm

that does look good. put your wheels back on the rear. who care's if it spins.

by **EBOOST** » September 17th, 2011, 9:41 pm

Yeah looks good icer.
the black bonnet actually doesnt look to far out of place.
i agree though put the same wheels on the back mate.

good luck with the 9.
cheers josh.

by **iCER** » September 18th, 2011, 4:26 am

cheers guys.

Nah no way id run 20's all around. Would be shite and worthless of having all that power on the road. May as well have a manual!

I personally think its tuff if I pull up next to a car and see ET Streets on it. I shit myself if i see a 4wd with all round semi's! lol

by **justa6** » September 18th, 2011, 5:24 am

Then put 17s all round. How much lighter is the bonnet?

by **krisisdog** » September 18th, 2011, 1:49 pm

Red and black everything, so JDM haha. Still running the standard exh manifold?

by **Dansedgli** » September 18th, 2011, 1:53 pm

What bits are inside your motor?

by **TUFED6** » September 18th, 2011, 2:34 pm

I can't see any of them pics Icer. Is imageshack busted or is it the fucken indonesian internets?

by **Phoenix** » September 18th, 2011, 2:42 pm

they're all good here. so its not me, its you.

by **iCER** » September 18th, 2011, 6:58 pm

pics are fine. Must be your end.

still running stock manifold. If i can run a 9, then i wont be changing anything. Bonnet is a proper steel bonnet so prob added a few kg over the xr6 bonnet.

Motor has arias pistons, argo rods, arp bolts/dtiveplate strengthener, billet pump gears and about $1000 in stupid fittings! Bloody hell those things add up. -6/-8 45/90 degree bends are like $35/40 each and not to mention all the braided lines i put on the fuel system etc!

Mind you im also still on still trying it all on stock cams. If i cant get the 9, ill get some crow cams and try again.

by **Michael (HYPOEB)** » September 18th, 2011, 8:17 pm

If you cant get a 9 with stock cam's you realy need to learn how to drive

by **XR_Lightning** » September 18th, 2011, 8:20 pm

leave the bonnet! looks sick! :good:

, I dont know why you havnt changed the cams yet, I thought it would be a nessicity if your chasing all that power??

by **iCER** » September 18th, 2011, 8:31 pm

agreed!

wtf cant run a 9 with 28/29psi! lol! Should be fine. I got my 60 footers down so all should be swoit! Possibly find out in a fortnight

by **Michael (HYPOEB)** » September 18th, 2011, 8:31 pm

You do no the stock Cams are good for 600+rwkw? How much power are you trying to make icer?

by **iCER** » September 18th, 2011, 9:05 pm

donno yet see how we go!

by **XR_Lightning** » September 18th, 2011, 9:57 pm

yeah, still you think there would be more efficient cams to make the power & times he wants

by **Parfrey** » September 19th, 2011, 12:40 am

Looking pretty nice, its funny the paint looks so different in diff light.

9's will be sick, dunno how the rear end will go though?

by **iCER** » September 19th, 2011, 2:38 pm

has a new reco diff in it 30,000km was no damaged but new seals/service etc was done before we put it in. Has done maybe 500km so far on it. Only thing in the rear that is changes is SSLs in the back. People have run mid 9s with standard rear end. But usually bust not long after. I just want to run 2x 9s (i belive you must back the result so its not 'a fluke') and i wont take it to the drags again then its just for fri/sat's

by **LOW_XR** » September 21st, 2011, 7:34 pm

engine bay looks nice icer. not such a fan of the rim skins tho. should look nice once resprayed and no damage etc etc.

by **iCER** » September 21st, 2011, 8:59 pm

cheers.

Everyone does whitewalls. Least this is totally legal AND protects your rims. Win!

I bought an AMS1000 boost controller (instead of the eboost2) and booked in next thurs for retune with 27-29psi tune. Hopefully get close to 500rwkw. Id be happy with 470rwkw and count 30rwkw as convertor loss! lol

by **Dansedgli** » September 21st, 2011, 9:02 pm

Has 500 been done before on a gt35 sized turbo? Even with a 66 wheel it sounds like a massive ask.

by **Mr. CVE** » September 21st, 2011, 9:19 pm

The AMS 1000 you gonna run co2 ?
Bit of an overkill for such low boost.

by **67rce** » September 21st, 2011, 9:26 pm

AMS and this is going to be a streeter? Seems like it's a race car with plates!

by **iCER** » September 21st, 2011, 11:28 pm

I doubt it will make 500rwkw. If it was a manual, maybe. people have gotten 420-430 with this turbo. But without e85 and other small bits. Either way see what happens. Happy to show people what this turbo setup is capable of and not needing to spend massive funds on a turbo setup if all they want is 500rwkw. Im more chasing the 9sec full street trim pass over the dyno.

eboost2 is 800$ and ams1000 i got for 950. Was worth the other 150$ when i will save time it takes apparently to setup the eboost2. Has a whole bunch of features that will help me out on the 1/4mile. Unleashing boost over a certain time frame, boost of the line, creeping etc etc. I understood a good chunk of the explanation. All the big boys use these yet im far from them.

nos will be on the cards at some stage. I got everything else for it!

67rce, i dont drive it every day. I just cruise/weekends or drive to mates places with it.

by **Mr. CVE** » September 22nd, 2011, 12:53 am

So you gonna run the AMS off boost pressure ?
You sure that will work.

by **iCER** » September 22nd, 2011, 10:23 am

i got no idea. Im not doing anything with it lol. Dion has one in his orange XF running 8s (going for 7s) so I am sure he knows what he is doing with it. Once its all done ill see how much info i can get.

by **Michael (HYPOEB)** » September 22nd, 2011, 5:23 pm

lol 99% of XR6T drivers dont no about half the shit in there car,Drop it off and get the mechanic to do everything.
Should be good though!

cos 99% of them can afford not to bother knowing? i still fail to see how thats a bad thing??
im a mechanic.... but if i could afford to get someone else to do everything to my cars i probably would

by **justa6** » September 22nd, 2011, 6:35 pm

At least he drives it, unlike that trd thing. I enjoy working on my cars, knowing when it fucks up, I can fix it.. if I had a heap of money, would still do it all myself, just a lot better.

why would that matter?? not every single XR6T owner has to be a mechanic do they?? some people are just car enthusiasts and just enjoy driving

by **iCER** » September 22nd, 2011, 7:23 pm

lol. im sure only like 20% of people on this forum do everything themselves.

Mind you i done alot of the work myself. Not tuning and not bottom end build. Fuel rail is cake but had to be done whilst at the mechanic. You get others who dont do anything to their cars!

Also im not a mechanic or even a tradie.

That's no excuse!

It will be interesting to see how she goes anyway. I've got small turbo buyers remorse so the more power the better.

by **misk** » September 22nd, 2011, 8:58 pm

pretty sure more than 20% of the people on here do the work themself.
if you own an e-series you obviously don't have money to splash at somene for anything you can afford to buy to start with.
the XR6 forums gives me a fucking headache though, i read a few threads and felt more retarded for doing so.

icer, please spend less time on the XR6 forum, this is clearly where you are catching aids from.

by **Trav199** » September 22nd, 2011, 10:22 pm

does it really matter?? Im a Diesel fitter and spend everyday bar some wknds rebuilding engines/trans/diffs yet i chose not to rebuild my own engine or changed diffs out. My reasons 1 i dont have time and 2 after 12hr days doing rebuild(never plain sailing) last thing i feel like doing is F*king around with my car for hrs. Not that i pay ppl to do everything.. i service my own car and all just dont see how this makes me less of a car enthusiest?? or my car not as good as anothers... em i missing the point?

nice car mate good luck with your plans.
