Put a turbo on blowing in to the supercharger so it makes all the noise and buckets of boost.

It rolled over 500,000ks on way home too! Was a pretty full on day lost track of how many passes i ran in end car is a mess with timeslips.

Well surpisingly this thing took an absolute repeated hiding today at the OsDrags like a champ, and the hot air induction and exhaust worked it went as quick as 16.0 but settled into repeated 16.2's the rest of the day and even started turning the tyres off the line a bit as well as the day went on. Plugged the laptop in during day, small changes did show results mainly bumping stuff around with the trans line pressure and shift points in setting the rev limit to 6000rpm got me the 16.0. Was more fun then last year not having my ass handed to me every race will probably do a night speed meeting soon before bolting on the turbo. I raced a guy in a 300zx and im sure if i turned off the aircon i would of got him! Was bloody close

YES it does pop occasionly on Decel.

Had to change my middle muffler from centre-centre to offset-centre as it saved using 3x 90 degree bends. Initally was really loud but put about 50ks on it has settled down and is louder than i'd normally go for the turbo will shut it up once its on. Theres 3 mufflers already no room for any more. 2500 rpm onwards it loves it way more go it doesnt sound horrible if anything id say it sounds like a 300zx. Exhaust looks really low its just perspective probaby has 130mm under it its lowest point.

I actually did performance stuff today. Mrs gone till thursday i got the whole exhaust done in 6 hours!

Now to thread a 89mm exhaust through the underside of this thing...... its gonna need some fancy bends to snake around diff. I also need to buy some under body sealer she's a bit dusty under there no bad rust just dirty

All back together ready for a wof. All measurements taken to finish the turbo setup outside of car. Had a heap of electrical gremlins as I'd opened so many plugs discovered the firing order was out of whack, used tunerpro to wade through it one at a time got sorted. Actually feels pretty quick for a 500,000k slug.

So the rev counter is going to be a dick that grows in length and "pops off" blue and red jizz for a shift light and all the zero's will be Tiddies? Sounds epic! If it sounds weird I'll bring my drop saw over some aliexpress bends and help you turbo it. Though I think it'll sound awesome as it is.

Your "big chip" might be an NVRAM to allow live tuning over OBD not something I've used but if you swap out for a stock ecu your mace chip will drop in. Or get someone on pcmhacking.net to send you the .BIN file and flash it onto the existing ecu yourself.

Assuming the part is the dryer?? Can it just be moved back towards fire wall. Is it sensitive to pipe length or height etc staying same height can be done just lengths will change a lot. The pipework does what appears to me a pretty pointless zigzag on way from fire wall to dryer. I know bugger all......

The forum needs a new section solely for Kimjons toys and projects. Would subscribe

You've probably seen a commodore engine bay or 2 just looking at again if the "receiver" was just moved behind the stru tower by firewall that would fix my issue. There's a big zig zag section in there that could be straitened out. I could probably handle the welding now just interested what parts are worth. Are parts pricey? Got room for an ac job?

Hey some chat on forums but nothing with enough information for me to work with. Who can do modified ac stuff? I need to move the attached thing and its lines under my turbo its in the absolute wrong spot could be moved ahead of turbo by radiator. I don't know anything about air conditioning stuff so feel free to educate me.

The offending Air con thing....

Limitations accepted back to progress! Manifold needed turbo rolled over about 30 degrees to get exhaust housing a bit more clearance around a few things good 20mm everywhere solid now Manifold is welded 100%. Starting on drivers side crossover plumbing to go under AC pump. Piece of cake today even those AC lines look manageable.

Change of tack. I got my mrs to look at my conundrum in exchange for reading her university paper on Mental health and DBT Therapy. And her solution although glaringly obvious is remake the AC lines I didn't want to touch them because ac ain't in my realm. She pointed out what I have already built and said just weld new ones up....... she's right. So for now I will finish everything turbo related but the down pipe till I'm ready to deal with that the AC lines. I'll then treat my self and build the sexy 3.5" exhaust I have all the parts for and hook it up to the R35 GTR front muffler ive already got on it (yes I already have nissan bits fitted) and just run it non turbo for a little longer to get it a warrant.

Absolute fucking fail this morning. Turbo and wastegate fit but exhaust pokes straight into the air conditioning lines. Looks like my $700 manifold I bought was never made to work with air con fitted. Bit pissed off I've chopped everything up to start again but have stopped to regroup before I fuck up a pile of very expensive parts. Air con or turbo I can't currently have both. Only things that fit I made. No photos......

Just got my Co2 done last year was $90 bucks for the cert. Co2 is 5 yearly so is what it is. Cheaper gas 1 more cert every 5 years kinda worth it get an aliexpress heated reg makes gas last forever.

Another spurt of enthusiasm drivers side manifold just needs V band stuck on and I can move to the passengers side and cross over pipe. Crossover will be piss easy nice and low just above cross member so hopefully most of the heat disappears under car. Has been on and off of course 10 plus times in engine bay. Can tick off clearing sway bar power steering and transmission lines as well and its removable in one piece!

I expect some progress to happen very shortly. Original engine got dressed up with its new manifolds decided fuck it and dropped most of my savings account in Maxfabs account. I know there's a bit to do but once it's all sitting in engine bay I'll get motivated as. I bloody love building exhausts looking forward to what's coming up.

Most of Saturday in this bloody manifold I built it on the car which meant pulling the drivers exhaust manifold and putting it on and off an uncountable number of times. But! It clears the power steering lines the oil filter the chassis rail and the wiring, what a fuck around. Hard part is done now though it's poking out into vacant space knew it would be a right dog to make but got there. Need some smaller bends then it can be sent across to passenger side to hook in to that manifold Oh and I can also start on that side....... not today.

I reckon this might fit...... the running gear from the Deathped. And be kind of road legal
