I'm in burkey. I was nearly aiming for the Fiat nationals at winton in January....as you can see I gave up on that quite sometime ago.
I know what your saying Ben, I've got no idea will happen if it all goes to shit again but I'm pretty sure everyone on the east coast of Aus will know about it! I'm running outta steam very quickly....coming up on being playing this game for 12 months! Imagine the grumpy M42 I'd have if the time and money had gone that way. The lessons we learn.
Just pulled the old oil cooler and lines.....metal sards everywhere. I can't be bothered. The braid was half buggered when I installed the lines and it spiked me a few times. Just going to buy new shit.
Tuner is going on Holidays March 12 so I am pushing to be on the dyno before then. He is keen to do an E85 tune so I might chase down the 300 mark if things are going well :)Last edited by e30guydownunder; 02-20-2012, 01:18 AM.

I got excited recently.
No picture but also cut 2-3kg of wiring out of the car, didn't delete any features just left over wiring that was not required! working towards having the car alot neater.
Also bought a few bits and bobs that are in the mail:
- New Cam spray bars
-GTiR Oil Pump Drive (current supplier is being a dick bought one from Canada :/ )
- New CAS because my brother knocked the original one and smashed the plug :/
Also been formulating a plan for the oil accumulator and this is probably going to lead to the purchase of new oil lines. Just cause.

I'm dragging this thing along to the finish! Tuner has given me till 12th of March before he goes on holidays so been busting some balls getting cracking.
Go to install turbo....opps theres that exhaust stud that was fucked. Another day another part. All fixed with a Seal lock threaded insert.
Some more wrinkle black was applied. Loving it!
Hey hey, the power unit has landed
And so has the oil pump drive collar!
Some extra steering column gauges...heaps sick aye
So the list of custom modification is looking like this:
- Move Alternator forward 5mm
- Make Oil Lines (picked up some black nylon braided lines and earls fittings)
- Finish off the electrical side of things
- Reassemble the engine bay!
Getting close now, it's a lil bit exciting.

The alternator has been moved forwards, the oil lines are made and I went to Melbourne for the weekend! Atleast that's what people tell me. BIG weekend was BIG. But now I'm back and we are full in the swing of making this jigger go. My Old man has put some time into the electrics over the weekend and that is getting closer.
Put some heat shit on the tank and installed the exhaust:
EARL's!
Lines and Wrinkle black everywhere
Few extra turbo lines and heat wraps
Closing in on the assemble everything and turn the electrics on mark!

We have motorvation! Got the car running 11pm Saty and dragged it down to the dyno on Sunday. Spent all day there finding lots of little problems and fixing them. Called it quits when the fuel pressure began to become inconsistent. I have a piece of fuel hose (10mm opps) between the surge and the 044.....making life a bit hard for the old pump. Working out how hard I want to tackle the fuel system but we will be back for more power.
In any case the engine is run in nicely it would seem, the E85 is going well and the engine sounds sweet. No strange noises like the other two and has no problems revving right out :)
I forgot to take the dyno plots to work to scan but should post them tomorrow. In the meantime we have 190kW @ 9 psi boost. Very happy....given last time I left the dyno I had this figure at 14psi! Have also picked up a bunch of response with the new engine / turbine housing. have boost much earlier than previous.
Here is a short video after the dyno tuning.
