ha ha cool plates. So 377 before, is he wanting much more. Alot of grunt . Looking good

by **NUT347** » August 8th, 2011, 5:50 pm

It probably won't make much more then that, it's only a stock turbo with .70 front.

The bloke that's tuning it said it might go over 400 because of cams and headwork

by **Parfrey** » August 8th, 2011, 7:11 pm

Coming along nicely

I wish mine had this much power! Should be good fun... Do you get to thrash it around once its all done? :amen:

by **NUT347** » August 8th, 2011, 10:44 pm

Haha I wouldn't say thrash it! But I get to drive it to run it in, take it for a tune etc.

He only comes to Brisbane once every 3-4 weeks so he is dirty that I'll drive it again before him.

I can't wait to start it again, it's been 2 years!

by **NUT347** » August 27th, 2011, 7:20 pm

So the motor got put back together yesterday and I started fitting all the accessories today.

Will probably fit the engine tomorrow.

Took the car to my mechanics down the road because he has a hoist, gave me the keys to his shed and said use whatever tools you want

**** I love hoists!

Should be running tomorrow, bed the rings, run the clutch in and take it for a tune.

It better skate 3rd hahah.

by **apoc** » August 27th, 2011, 7:39 pm

Hoists are sick. Waay easier to work on cars with one!
We changed 2 gearboxes in my eb without one, then dad found one for 500 bucks. Best thing we ever did!

Coming together nicely man!

by **EF ECTIV** » August 28th, 2011, 4:01 am

yep next place I buy is def gonna have a hoist setup... interesting to see how this thing goes; should go fucking hard...

by **justa6** » August 28th, 2011, 7:57 am

looking good nut. skating third is always rewarding.

by **NUT347** » August 28th, 2011, 10:20 pm

Cheers guys

Hoists fucking rock btw, I didn't lay on the floor once today. And fitting the starter motor took all of 30 seconds <3

Anyway... It runs!!!

After measuring the CSC we had 14mm with no spacers, was pretty excited about that.

Haven't taken it for a drive yet, still need to modify the hot side pipe to 2 1/2" for the front cover, fit airbox, fit front bar etc.

Bled the clutch just before I packed up.. I can't believe how light it is!

looking foward to powercruise :grin:

by **iCER** » August 30th, 2011, 11:18 am

looks good.

that passanger side pipework looks like it will be a tight squeeze.

by **NUT347** » August 31st, 2011, 11:18 pm : **FairmontXR6 Likes this post**

It fits all good

So it's all back together now, all new diff bushes, new centre tail shaft bearing/bush, new uni and a few other bits.

Put the bar back on, tightened everything up, started it up then remembered no power steering fluid yet. So we get the drum out, start filling and it pisses out the pressure line :banghead:

Have to get a new one tomorrow then I'll take it for a drive.

by **OED666** » September 1st, 2011, 12:44 pm

aids about the pressure line... keen to see this thing in action next week!! race race for sure against the ticking time bomb!!

by **NUT347** » September 2nd, 2011, 8:08 am

Fitted the pressure line last night and took it for a drive straight away.

Runs well, and it's alot more toey off boost then I remember.

We took it out for a cruise on the northside, you get some funny looks in one of these when the idle is rough as guts haha.

I'll take some finished photos and post it up.

Brent is on his way down for power cruise now so I look forward to the several blowys he owes me.

by **justa6** » September 2nd, 2011, 10:07 am

is this going to powercruise? Tune this week or what.

awkward times for you and your mate when he gets home .

by **iCER** » September 2nd, 2011, 10:09 am

vids please!!!

....of the car not the blowies!!!!!!! :banghead:

Tune is next Tuesday, and he is fitting an E-Boost2 aswell, as the factory boost control hasn't worked for years.

Yeah we will be at PC, can't wait to clutch 3rd several times down the straight!

Of it idling? Or moving? Can't really give it anything until the tune, I'll get one after the tune though

by **NUT347** » September 8th, 2011, 5:58 pm

Makes 360rwkw on 14psi.

Needs a bigger fuel pump/surge tank to go any further and he didn't give full timing because the motor has only done 1100kms...

So next is process west fuel pump kit, few more kms on the engine and back for a retune on 20psi.

by **Michael (HYPOEB)** » September 8th, 2011, 5:59 pm

Shit hot! Good power from 14psi

by **iCER** » September 8th, 2011, 6:57 pm

yep! Should almost see 400rwkw! Fun to put around in

by **justa6** » September 8th, 2011, 8:51 pm

That's bloody good on 14 man. Will be a whole lot of fun manual.

by **NUT347** » September 8th, 2011, 11:05 pm

It's Fucken fun!!

Second gear is useless, just peels up, feathering doesn't help at all lol.

by **NUT347** » September 15th, 2011, 2:38 pm

Brent took to this to the drags last night.

First run was 14.03@112mph lol... 2.7sec 60 foot. he took off easy and slow gear changes.

Second run was 13.3@ 116mph 2.4 60ft

Last run was 12.7@119mph with 2.3 60ft.

Not to bad considering he was driving it like a pansy, had the 19s on it and his first time ever at the drags.

Spewing I couldn't go, I would have gave it everything lol!

by **Mr_4.0** » September 15th, 2011, 3:10 pm

119mph is healthy mph!

by **Parfrey** » September 15th, 2011, 3:25 pm

Not thaat healthy for 360kw... but it sounds like there's a fair bit more in it!

by **iCER** » September 15th, 2011, 3:28 pm

not bad for a manual. Should possibly even dip into the 11s once its got its full tune. Waste of time going in anything but ET Streets IMO. Especially in a manual with ~380rwkw+.

Good to get the 1st time out. From the looks of all those results, he should get a 11.9x with ET streets.

by **NUT347** » September 15th, 2011, 4:37 pm

As I say, he was driving it like a girl and its first time ever at the drags.

With a 2.00 60ft it should do a high 11 with around 122 or something.... And with a decent driver.

Needs ET Streets though!!

by **justa6** » September 16th, 2011, 5:45 am

i can only imagine how hard it would be getting a manual off the line. seems like he's out enjoying the thing anyway.

by **NUT347** » October 17th, 2011, 6:55 pm

He isn't enjoying it much, but I do haha

He got a sunroof fitted the other day, $2200 fitted with a 10year warranty.

And I fitted a tripod thingo with fullsweep autometer cobalts.

Next is Garrett GTX35R, External gate on rear housing. twin 044s and a surgetank with new injectors. Brad from atomic says they can do 450+rwkw on the standard manifold

by **NUT347** » November 5th, 2011, 7:04 pm

Took this out for a cruise last night and raced a few people

Pulled on an 11sec Capri which I thought was pretty cool haha.

Anywho, gave it a wash this morning and took some pics and a small vid of it idling.

It's pretty lumpy lol, ignore the music too, lol fkn radio.

by **Ef_frmnt** » November 5th, 2011, 7:52 pm

wicked plates.
get a DJR rear wing covers those holes nicely

by **NUT347** » November 5th, 2011, 9:17 pm

Good idea!

The plates get a shitload of comments haha.

by **Ef_frmnt** » November 5th, 2011, 10:05 pm

yeah so do mine and they have both never seen a car lol. fucking prestige plates are dear but im about to buy set number three... they are a good investment if you get understandable words and dont expect $20g for every set

by **NUT347** » November 6th, 2011, 11:59 pm

People invest in plates?!

Trippy lol. I don't think Brent will ever sell these ones... It's the cars name and it cant be changed now haha.

by **NUT347** » December 12th, 2011, 7:29 am

New plazmaman surgetank and 044 kit.

Has 2 outlets so it can be upgraded to twin pumps in the future when needed.

It's booked in for a retune on Thursday.. Can't wait!!

by **FairmontXR6** » December 12th, 2011, 9:05 am

Fark yeah!!

by **NUT347** » December 16th, 2011, 7:20 pm

383rwkw on 16psi. Turbo is now maxed out :confused:

BPS said his dyno reads a little low and could be making such good power on low boost because of head work and cams.

But fark me, it just spins lol.

by **iCER** » December 16th, 2011, 10:13 pm

good result.

but how is the turbo maxed out on 16psi? I got 21.3psi out of it internal gated with a 15psi actuator.

Because you had a stock motor dude.

The better setup your engine is the more power it will make on a lower boost level.
