[bgblockelcamino]

I am building headers for it at the moment. big block ford in it. runs 9.4x? on motor. 2 1/8 primaries and 4 inch collector. I should have them done tomo or Wednesday, took a break for fitting and welding to do downpipes. one side essentially fitted, working on driver side now.

Looks good and a great deal! Jet seal is pricey! Luckily we were planning on trading her car in and had it appraised by the dealer, then a few days later she got stuck in the driveway with no reverse gear. I never could figure what the issue was, but the dealer honored the original agreed value. Would probably still have it, but the back seat is not too car seat friendly.

2.5 days. You got off easy. I was in for a week with a gangrene appendix. Sucked. Almost killed me.

Glad you are recovering!

Had mine out about two years ago. Spent 3 days in the hospital. Not any fun. Good luck on the recovery.

New intercooler kit looks high quality.

My appendix went in October 2012. It ruptured overnight in the hospital before the scheduled surgery. Surgery took 3.75 hours and was in for 18 days, 12 of which on 100% oxygen. It was rough lol.

Glad you're better. At least you got some weight savings from having the appendix removed.

Yep, only PRP on this set up. I've never run BOTL and we suspect my clutches weren't holding last year. Can't wait to see if I can get my short times down a bit. On the DRs, yep, I still run the 315/40 18 Nitto NT05R set up.

I can promise you that on a better track you'll drop your short times. Please come to the shootout this year and you'll understand what I mean.

Have you seen what's going on at Dragway 42!? Major reconstruction! Like tear the place down, bulldoze the entire place and run the track in the opposite direction. Should be a great track from what I've heard.

You could do the AAM or GotBoost piping kits with the Tials.

Comes as a package with them.

A Non-Car Enthusiast buddy of mine came over today.

I put him to work tearing some shit down while I supervised.

He won't even change the oil in his MinVan.

Not much got done since I can't really crawl around yet and he wasn't prepared for all of this.

He did break one of my amber side markers removing the front bumper cover.

It gave me an excuse to order JDM Nissan clear ones.

You are a trusting friend to let a novice work on your car.

Has anyone put a custom body on a GTR chassis & drivetrain? Sure would be neat to see a Daytona Coupe or an old Challenger conversion. I'm sure it would cost a TON to do...but somewhere there has to be a running GTR with a trashed body just begging for this.

[John4cam]

These cars just look so straight forward to work on......bolt on parts anyways.

[RUTHLESS]

Glad to see that you went with Tial. I have played with my share of turbo cars over the years but when I first saw the Tial parts for the Cobra I was VERY impressed with them over the other companies I have used.

Advice that I have is to use a quality hose for boost reference or whatever you want to call it. I went with the same hard plastic lines that they use for semi brakes and couldn't be happier. I was just having to may issues with the rubber hoses and didn't want to hurt anything when one cracked or popped off.

Oh my big boy tial is vented to the atmosphere on the Cobra but it doesn't have the single port like in the pics above. On mine the entire base has vents around it.

Love the TiAL's! I've used nothing but these on all the turbo cars I've owned.

They are in a way but it's damn tight in there. You have to pull the motor to do a turbo upgrade and it's a bitch to get out due to all of the driveline parts/carriage that have to come out first.

OP: You'll feel a nice difference in power once you get rid of the restrictive stock IC and piping. You're IAT's will thank you as well. Something I l learned with IC's is that you want the biggest baddest one out there the first time. Typically, as you upgrade you'll need to do it anyway. With stock turbos, and the way manufactures fab the new IC's, you don't have to worry about boost drop, etc. That and you want the least amount of bends, shortest route traveled, and least amount of pieces for IC piping. Because when one of those bitches pops off, you'll ****ing hate yourself because you have so much work in front of you to just get at it. I see all of those under panel screw and fasteners laying there on your cardboard..lol

[ERR0RMACR0]

Yeah, the JDM clear corners look so much nicer, in my opinion. Especially on your color.

As always, man--if you need a hand let me know.

[bgblockelcamino]

Errormacro, how the discussion of vacuum lines. the line I made the other day I do the same thing but smaller lines for vacuum. takes more time but looks claner than rubber hose.

I am going to guess you have been lucky and never owner or worked on a Dodge Stealth r/t tt or 3000GT VR4. Any work that needed done was major. Ever a spark plug change required the entire intake manifold to be removed and I think that was the easiest work. I loved that car but the amount of time it took to do anything on it was crazy.

[thedak]

Same for the VR38. Entire intake off for a plug change.

Then you need Ecutek or some software to do a bank balance.

[Tom]

My car is pretty bad, you have to take ~4 bolts off to get to the turbo, it takes at least 10 minutes on a good day.

I wanted the AAM Race Intercooler blem on eBay. Been talking with AAM for weeks about it.

I would of then needed to buy the entire piping kit separate as well.

Not it a cheap set up even with the discount on the cooler itself.

It it requires hacking up the front panels too. Something I'm not ready to do yet.


Almost pulled the trigger right before this set up I got offered to me for a lot less.

It is "street" Intercooler and is basically a ETS or BoostLogic core.

All made in the U.S. Sourced by SBD. For the price I paid if I have sell it one day so be it.

[thedak]

Men,

Removal of the passenger side seat for the track.


I'm going to illuminate an AirBag light ?

Ecutek can reset it ?

[ERR0RMACR0]

I don't believe so--I think the only way to handle it is similar to swapping to different seats where you need the sensor pad plugged in on the floor :(

[thedak]

F....

So I need that dumb resistor ?

[PaxtonShelby]

Leave the seat in there. Problem solved. If you run 10.01 and need that 0.02 extra, yank it out.

[ERR0RMACR0]

I'd maybe double check with Ben...he may know of a more elegant solution

[thedak]

:werd:

[Dan B.]

Fixed.....


Leave the seat in there. Problem solved. If you run 10.01 and need that 0.02 extra..........MOAR AAARRRR PPEEEE EMMMMMMM

[MrAudia]

I believe the resistor is the only way to go. It also depends on what year you have. I have a 14', aftermarket seats, and the resistor doesn't work.

I run COBB as well and there is no module that allows me to turn it off.

[thedak]

Interesting....

[thedak]

So I just deal with the light for the day then ?

Does the CEL go back out after the seat is reinstalled ?

[MrAudia]

The CEL will go away after the seat has been reinstalled and the codes cleared... I believe.

I just deal with the light...as much as I hate it.

[ERR0RMACR0]

Dak, when and where are you going to be running?

I know most of the Z guys swap our interior dome light lens out for the clear GT-R ones. stock ones are the hazed yellow-ish ones we get from factory. also they swap in LED bulbs instead of the factory as well.

so flipped the sensor around and moved it up. that gains a lot more clearance compared to matt's setup. Mustache Matt see the lines on Bacon Matt's car?

We can video/mic up some cars at the rental and if data logs are avail I can do the layovers on video.

Does it work with hptuners logs?

I can pitch in a gopro if we want to get multiple videos per car.

[JeffreyCole]

Damn.. That's sweet as hell.

Here is a run of mine from yesterday, data from HPTuners.
https://youtu.be/TM9QQglZsrI

And gauges are fully customizable, here's a video from last year of my car with the C6 corvette preset gauges.
https://youtu.be/fEawSWPlipI

I carry 2 gopros on me, an original HD hero and a hero 4 silver with external mic. Usually use the original HD hero on my helmet since it doesn't have wifi for remote control.

[JeffreyCole]

Do you just import the data as a .CSV?

[SK360]

Do you just import the data as a .CSV?

Yes, it works with pretty much any logs that can be exported to csv. There's a fully functional trial on their website that puts a watermark on the output as you can see in my last video above if you want to play around with it. Me and a buddy went in on a license, he uses it for his motorcycle track day videos. You get keys to unlock on 3 different pcs with a license lol.

I had to go into daks CSV and multiply the manifold pressure column by 14.5037738 to get PSI since it was in bar... I tried scripting a gauge to do it in RaceRender but it was fighting me so I did it the easy way. I still had to create the boost gauge as there wasn't a preset for one.

Sweet. This will even work with my ECMlink datalogs. Sweet. Might have to invest so I can get all the features after I give it a shot. Is the external mic necessary?

On my car, you can only hear wind when its outside.

[SK360]

Give me a second, I have a video from the same spot on daks car with/without the external mic. Let me throw them together and post on YouTube. It's not needed but when you hear the difference.... it was well worth the $35 I have invested into that setup.

[SK360]

Mic comparison.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZCn2yj-UtY

[thedak]

Gots to have that mic

[SK360]

Heres the 10.56@132 video with data.... Was playing around with the other logged values so added some extra gauges, may be too much tho lol. The AWD Split is cool to watch and the aftermarket intercooler shows its worth watching the IAT2's. Also set the boost gauge to turn red when above 19psi

I have a holley 4150, dual points in the distributor, and a reverse manual valve body.

Can my videos look like that?


Nice runs....especially considering the car will pull a lateral G on the same suspension.

Wow that sounded freakin nice!

Sure SK360 can make some cool gauges for temperature and humidity at the track in your video.

These videos are awesome! :2thumbs: I see you chequed the mirrors on that second run with the external mic.

Yeah, cause that crap you got in there now just ain't cuttin it. hahaha

These vids are pretty freaking cool. Just curious... are you manually shifting or is it that awesome in full auto ???

[thedak]

I ran 2 runs in full auto and 2 runs in manual mode.

No difference between them with the stock turbos.

6850 RPM I'm outta steam anyway. No point in reving to 7000 in manual mode.

[RUTHLESS]

Nice run and vid! I did notice that you are leaving with no boost. Is there a reason for that?

[thedak]

I want my OEM tranny to last at least till this Fall.... haha

Was E83 coming outta the pump today.

Mixed up from E67 to E78 with only adding an 11 gallon fill up.

God Bless

[FPenvy]

there's a new gas station by me that opened up selling e85 now. think it was only 2.20 a gallon last time I drove by.

great to know it's there if I ever boost the Z or if/when I move into a GT-R.

[PaxtonShelby]

My wife's car is always on E.

[Mark Aubele]

Keep thinking about going to E85 but keep hearing issues with moisture and O2s going on the Coyotes.

[thedak]

No real issues with the GTRs. The sock pre-filters are the only filters on the car.

I'll pull my fuel pumps every Winter and put new pre-filters on them. $30

It's worth it and is what it is....

[thedak]

or really...

By Winter I'll have a Fore Innovations Triple Pump Basket and Filters anyway

haha

Instead of vapor lock......do ethanol fueled cars make popcorn??

[thedak]

Ran 2 logs today on E78

Gained another 2 degrees of timing. No knock issues.

Appears E77-E85 the tune is identical so this is as good as it gets.



Boost is the same.

Weenie turbos are all outta steam.

[PaxtonShelby]

Lol at the weenie turbos comment. The car rips!

Is you're E85 from the Speedway station on Rt 19 in Washington? E85 FTW

[thedak]

Yep

The new one in Strabane.

Either they they sell a lot or the tank is small.

Their stuff always seems fresh.

[MrAudia]

That's so nice to have it this close. I live in Washington and have quiet a bit of barrels of the stuff in my garage. lol Will be nice if I ever do decide to change over to ethanol to have someone else hold it. HA

I'm right in Cecil Twp.

6 miles from my house.

Wheels be here late this week.

If if anyone can find me (2) Michelin Pilot Super Sports 285/35R20....

I will lick that sack.

[zxgto06]

Matt, I have a pretty good tire shop out by me that carries a lot of bigger sizes and such, I'll call them in the morning when I get off work and see if they can get them.

[thedak]

Appreciate it. I have to find old stock.

This size is on national backorder and no plans on making it till Fall says Michelin.

[zxgto06]

I gotcha, I called a little bit ago but they close at 5:30. I'll get ahold of them in the morning.

any other choices you want me to check on?

[thedak]

MPSS 335/30R20 for the rear.

Only combo you can run on a GTR.

The OD of the front and back has to be within .2" or the TCM freaks out.

I apprectae it.

If I had them I would sell them to Cam so he could sell them to you...

[MrAudia]

I have the stock tires that have less than a 1000 miles on them I'll make you a good deal on.

[thedak]

Appreciate it but I need wider for the new wheels.

I plan on selling my OEM wheel tire combo here in a tad myself.

Thank you for trying.

Im now at either:

Toyo R888 - 285/315 Combo - $1600

P-Zero - 285/335 Combo - $1900

[turbo83coupe]

Did I miss it?, what wheels are you putting on it? Pics?

[thedak]

Forgestar F14s

This exact set up - Minus wheels are Piano Black and 3mm less aggressive offset

Front - 20x10" - 31mm Offset - Deep Concave

Rear - 20x12" - 25mm Offset - Super Deep Concave

Wow those new wheels are nice! Of course that blue is also pretty sweet. Much better than pink... :biggrin:

[PaxtonShelby]

Sharp wheels...

[thedak]

For the coin they are really nice and custom to your specs.

I'll lose weight off each corner and have way more rubber.

I wanted a set of Volk G25 or TE37s but the prices are insane.

TE37s are brilliant.

I got a quote from Vossen for CVT's how I want them. I had an aneurysm. Going to try to make it happen by the middle of the summer though.

Toyo R888 - 285/315 Combo - $1600

P-Zero - 285/335 Combo - $1900

My PZeros are piles of shit compared to MPSSs, but I am not a huge fan of R888s either. The R888 likely has a grip level similar to that of a modern Max Performance summer (like an MPSS) but won't last as long.

You could probably squeeze ~8000 miles out of the R888s if you drive somewhat normally on the street. I liked the RA-1s that preceded the R888 much better. But given those two options honestly I would probably go with the R888s.

Forgestar is a great wheel for the price, was going to order a set of 18x11s before my buddy gave me a killer deal on the Jongbloeds I have.

[thedak]

I have no choice....

P-Zeros are all that fits the GTR in 285/335 street form.

They are both 28" in diameter front and rear.




The 888s are 285/315. I'm ok with getting only 8000s miles outta a set but they fit a tad odd.

They are slightly smaller in diameter overall. Front to rear is .2" difference.

The problem for me is the 315 looks a tad stretched on a 12" wheel.

I personally think the GTRs look great when they have some meat on the wheels.

[thedak]

If I got an 11" wheel for the rear I'd run the 888s in a second.

[Stangman701]

FWIW the R888's do seem to run pretty wide. I have 305's on my car and they seem as wide or wider than some other 315's that I've seen and even as wide as some 335's.

[SlowSix]

you guys and your fancy expensive wheels.

[sutyak]

you guys and your fancy expensive everything.

[JeffreyCole]

Sheeit.

I run the OEM wheels because the TE37's I want cost more than I paid for the car.

Now, the parts that are in the car... we try not to think about that.

[thedak]

Front wheels are complete.


I was just told the 12" rear blanks came in late.

They are being machined next week then off to powder coat....

Still time to find MPSS.
