    What’s the advantage of the eccentric throttle wheel?

    The eccentric throttle wheel makes the travel of the throttle cable down low in the rev range longer and gives you more control, and makes the travel up high shorter for instant throttle response.

    appearantly ;-)

    So bit of an update, got something for the R32 I have wanted for so long:

    [​IMG]

    and a picture of most of the kit (manifold has had a bit of welding as you can see but is blow free)

    [​IMG]

    I am over the moon as this is pretty much my dream turbo set up for the car (except for maybe having the mid-mount manifold, but I am looking into that ;) )

    I was lucky enough to sell my current turbo set up pretty much straight away so that was cool. I still have my D-Max Cobra downpipe that I might sell if I get the right offer though.....

    I can't wait to get it fitted now and mapped and see how the car performs/sounds then.

    Oh yeah hopefully the kit will be painted and back on real soon too :)

    Work will start on this really soon, hopefully there will be a bit of a transformation.

    How it sits as of today:

    Finally got a bit of time to do a bit of work to the R32 a couple of days ago, noting major but it felt good to be working on it again. I re-routed my breather pipes as I wasn't happy with how they were, I also blanked my water feed to the turbo as the TD06 doesn't require a water feed.

    I also attempted to fit the GKtech eccentric throttle wheel but it seemed to be catching and therefore not fitting at all really, has anyone else experienced this?

    I also done a deal to swap my top mount Greddy manifold for this:

    [​IMG]

    A genuine Greddy/Trust mid-mount manifold, I am delighted to get hold of one of these as due to the unequal pipe lengths they produce a really raspy sound that you hear so much in Japanese drift videos.

    I should be getting the turbo fitted in the next few days so I can see what else needs modifying, more updates then.

    So I have been putting a bit of time into this over the last week or so. First job was to get the TD06 20G fitted. Got the mid-mount manifold on nice and easy:

    [​IMG]

    Then fit the turbo, found a couple of things, the comp housing had to be rotated but that was no big issue. However I then discovered that (I assume) due to the turbo kit being designed for a S-Chassis that with the mid-mount manifold the turbo was hitting the inner wing, there was no way all these parts were not being fitted to my car though so we made some 'room':

    [​IMG]

    and got the turbo on:

    [​IMG]

    and the wastegate fitted:

    [​IMG]

    I am just waiting on one silicone joiner that I now need for the intercooler pipes to fit and I will also need to fabricate up a downpipe and the car should be running again. I also had to relocate my boost controller solenoid and power steering reservoir.

    One of the other issues I want to address is one I might of mentioned earlier in the thread, ever since I have reduced the rear camber to near zero and lowered the car more the bottom spring seat of coilover has been coming in contact with the rear camber arm when the car is jacked up, it seems fine when the wheels are on the ground and the car is static but I am a little worried about what might happen if the car squats a lot or I am driving on a rough surface or do a jump or something!

    I had a pair of Tein springs that were 25mm shorter laying around so I fitted them as they would allow me to raise the bottom spring seat 25mm, it has helped a little but I still have the same problem:

    [​IMG]

    I would be lying if I said I wasn't worried about shock travel and I think the only way that I might cure the problem is to fit drop knuckles but that is money that I just don't have right now and probably won't have for a while.

    As I mentioned previously the GKTech eccentric throttle wheel I got seems to be fouling when fitted, I grabbed a pic of where it is fouling, maybe someone else has experienced this?

    [​IMG]

    So that is about where it stands now, hopefully running soon and then I will just have to start saving to get it mapped again.

    Billy I want your turbo set up if ever selling. 32 is one of the nicest around when all together

    Thanks Jimmy, I can't see the turbo set up going anywhere for a whole though! :)

    Are they S14 camber arms rather than R32/S13 camber arms?

    Don't R32 ones have slightly more clearance as they're the full round ones rather than the half moon S14 ones?

    Yeah I swapped to S14 ones as the S13/R32 ones were fouling even worse.
