That radiator pipe setup looks good! You could make it out of stainless and just have a section of joiner each end?

Oh sorry didn't answer your question. The KP ran a best of 13.6 @ 102 which is pretty good for street tires (T1r's) and on an unprepped track. It's probably got a low 13 in it on a decent track. It's my favorite event for the year even though the times are usually not that fast. So many weird and wonderful cars. Even a jet powered push bike!

Thanks mate, pretty happy with how it went! It is jacked quite a bit both front and rear but from memory I can't get much more out of the rear due to the strut tower extensions and how short my struts are. I had them custom made shorter than usual. I might steal the rear BC struts out of my brothers Turbo S as they are quite a bit taller. It does squat a bit even with 4kg springs front and 8kg springs rear so will invest in a set of 10kg springs for the rear and see how it goes.

Oh man, what a hectic few days! Finally have time to sit down and post a few photos. So I got in a couple of hours of tuning on Friday and managed to get the fuel map reasonably close to where I wanted it and ran up to 16psi. Definitely a whole different animal compared to the old T04e. Where the T04e used to deliver power kind of like "nothing nothing nothing then smashed in the face with a brick" the new turbo is much more progressive. In some places of the map I was adding in 8-10% more fuel so its definitely gobbling alot more air. So I got it close enough and felt it was good enou

Haha yep there isn't alot of space available! Weather report is looking average so Im not rating my chances. Might be a case of just cleaning up the tune for 6psi and wait for a dry spell to do a proper run.

Can you do something like I did? Modified the outlet so its 90 degrees to the front of the engine Sorry this is the only photo I could find that shows it clearly.

So time has been ticking so burnt some more late night hours to finish off the manifold and fabricate a downpipe bend from 3inch stainless due to a lack of space for an off the shelf bend. Not my best work but will do for now. Which ended up a bit like this. Slammed some heat paint on the manifold. You can't see due to the angle but the external provision is around the back and comes off the very bottom of the merge. And the whole lot ended up looking like this. Many hours later it was all fitted to the engine, oil feed and return were done, a stainless sieve from the

Running out of time! 2 more days then its race time and still haven't started it up. No pressure

Looks great dude!

It may pay to narrow down what oil temp sensor you are going to use first, some of them are quite long and wont work in those links you showed. I have used these http://www.nzefi.com/product/bosch-engine-oil-temperature-sensor/ and these http://www.nzefi.com/product/oil-temperature-sensor-with-right-angle-connector/

As requested

New manifold is done, very happy with how it turned out. Downpipe tonight then external wastegate merge. Its going to be a busy week! Hoping to get it running this weekend. The event I want to get to is the weekend after so no pressure...

Will do! Im back working on it tomorrow - its been a busy few days on the EP82 thats here currently.

Morgey, thanks! Its been a crazy year with being so busy on everyone else's cars, needed to make a start or get rid of the car. 5e colin, cheers dude. The old grinder merge seems to do the trick! Till I can afford to buy that CNC mill haha Just got a new argon bottle so will get into it again this weekend, because no one likes it when this happens...

Physically yes, but you need to be running something other than factory engine management to tune them.

These EP91 boards were made by a guy here in NZ around 2004, i just happened to have a few of them left over and this is the last one. I had a small batch of EP82 ones made up years ago but most of my customers run full custom looms to take use of all the features of their ecu's rather than use the boards so I never bothered doing another run of them.

Yes I'd say you've caused the meltdown by powering it up by mistake unless something is trying to earth thru that circuit with a decent current draw causing it to burn out. Hard to tell really. Sorry no idea about the relays, I havent ever wired a EP71 with a complete 4efte loom. I always strip the 4e or 5e engine loom back, remove all the chassis related wiring then merge that back into the factory EP70 engine loom. That way the factory EP71 fuse box and inside wiring stays the same and the engine loom becomes completely plug and play so its all nice and neat. Ive done 30+ of them now

Ive got one of these if you need one, so you can wire any aftermarket ecu into a EP91.

The W pin supplies an EARTH to the check engine light in the dash cluster, there is no relay in the circuit. There is no feedback to the ecu so the engine will operate without it but you now wont be able to check for any diagnostic codes.

Dude that looks so good! That colour really makes it!

More un-adulterated grinding action (one handed for photo taking ability...) Tacked together now. Ignore turbo outlet direction, the front cover is loose and its not pointing in the right direction in this photo. Will knock it apart and to prep and weld up now, then work on the external wastegate provision.

With an aftermarket ecu you don't have to setup new triggering unless you want to, the standard pick ups in the distributor are fine, just remove the cap/rotor and add a blanking plate. K20 coils are a good option or 2zzge coils - there are two coil variants for the 2zz, both are the same except for one is slightly larger diameter and needs to be shaved down to slide down the spark tube. Have run these many times for customers with good results.

Link G4+ Atom would be perfect
