    also, got the SR last saturday, was missing some little bits but i managed to sort all them out, and did some fiddling around...

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    bolted the CYN-R-G segmented flywheel on, the 3puk Exedy Competition Clutch, inspected the head, looks amazing, top job by Polo on that :) and obviously began making a top mount kit for T2 turbo's (gonna run stock turbo for time being but will end up going HDev stage 3, so 2871 in the long run.


    dismantled the turbo to get the housings facing the right ways

    [​IMG]


    and back together somewhere near where its gonna be..

    [​IMG]


    got an update on the lower arms and hubs..

    [​IMG]

    so there coming back soon! time for mega locks! :D



    dropped it in..

    [​IMG]


    fitted new aux belts

    [​IMG]


    fitted the inlet, then remembered i gotta take it back off to paint -_-

    [​IMG]


    fitted some new exhaust studs cus there were a couple missing

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]


    trialled the intercooler and radiator positions.. i think ill end up running the setup like this, but probably with some 'custom' pipework

    [​IMG]



    and a picture of the car the night before it was taken off the road (10 days ago)

    yesterday this happened..

    got the customised turbo housing back to accomodate for top mounting

    [​IMG]

    and the elbow/downpipe

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    All thanks to Steve at S.A Motorsport Hinckley - 07895486434 (if anyone in the surrounding areas needs anything making or customising, from simple pipework to diffusers to rollcages or even complete space-framed chassis - this guy is literally the shizniiiit)

    so went about fitting it to make sure fitments good, the downpipe needs a bit of adjustment which was my fault, as i tacked everything in place for Steve to finish off for me :)

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Steves coming up to mine on saturday to weld the intercooler pipework up, so thats all done :) Also think im gonna run my AFM like this.. but need to know if it'll cause any stalling (or other) issues with being so close?? HELP MEEEEE

    [​IMG]



    also found a broken wire/plug on my inlet.. which i've found out is the knock sensor wire. job for tomorrow!

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]



    in other news, my Hubs are made!

    [​IMG]


    and i bought me a sticker from C's Garage :)

    T28 frame turbos look so tiny top mounted lol!

    Also with the AFM, I was told it was straight you may need to add in an + shape into the pipe work to stabilise the air? No idea whether it's be sound being that close to the turbo so I'll let someone else answer that. Coming along nicely, just needs to man sized wheels next! :p

    well, asked the question on facebook cus its easier to get noticed, and Billy Sutton (who also owns an sr32) says it will cause problems being that close, so ill end up making something better for it once the intercooler pipework is all made up and i know what i can and cant do, so thats gonna be moved :) may get a brace put in one of the pipes to help it though cus ive seen a few people doing that recently :)

    and man size wheels?! whats wrong with my 18's? :p cheaper tyres on skinnier rims :p

    Jez @ Horsham did the + trick on a mates CA with a straight inlet pipe, but was a lot further away I suppose. Put a + in the pipe and like a 130* angle pipe towards the slam panel/headlight :)

    225 on a 10 is cheaaaap and easy :p

    yesterdays little updates.. kinda.

    ended up getting my loom, my gearbox bolts, the last little gubbins for the oil cooler, and a load of other shit basically allowing me to actually fit the engine for hopefully the last time! :D

    so, put the (damaged) gearbox on..

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]


    done!

    fitted the oil cooler sandwich plate and lines

    [​IMG]

    put the engine in for the last time (this week lol), then noticed this...

    [​IMG]


    so thats getting modified today... my loom arrived from NORFY. absolute legend.

    [​IMG]

    not bad for a hobby welder..

    then did the gearbox mount as best i could.. on highest settings, with lots of penetration.. (first pic is on low setting)

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]



    Steve from SA Motorsport came round and made my intercooler lines :D

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    fitted all the hubs

    [​IMG]

    checked my lock which doesnt look as impressive as id hoped but im sure when its all back on the ground itll be a noticable improvement

    [​IMG]


    took a picture of the rainbow

    [​IMG]


    painted the cooler pipework

    [​IMG]


    then tried to fit my exhaust which needs the decat modifying slightly, easily solved now i have a working welder again :)

    theres only so much i can do myself, especially when it comes to welding. basically, anything steel = no problem. alloy is another matter lol :S

    its a huge advantage having crappy hours at work right now, cus it means i can put the time into the car that it needs, but on the downside, i get naff all wages haha. ah well, its nearly there, literally hours away from finished if i can get the parts i need :D

    hey fella, still loving the car, but just a note on the MAF sensor position… it will cause stalling big time!
    I had it like that on my CA and with no BOV every time you lift off the throttle it was cause the engine to almost stall.
    Basically the MAF sensor is DUMB so it doesn't know which way the air is passing through it which means when you build up boost pressure then close the throttle, all that air pressure goes back through the turbo and out through the MAF sensor.
    This means the MAF sensor reads an increase in air flow through it when you close the throttle so adds in extra fuel causing it to stall or almost stall.
    The best thing to do with this setup is make a long intake pipe with a 45 or larger, ideally 90 deg bend in it positioning the MAF as far from the turbo as possible to slow the air coming back out of the turbo towards the MAF down.
    You can also add in a long "cross" inside the pipe effectively separating it into 4 chambers which prevents the air from flowing spiring through the larger diameter pipe.

    Sorry for the long explanation but hope that helps you.

    Brad =)
