Brendon/Boost Truck Racer makes them himself. i recommend them. send him a PM and i'm sure he can set you straight.


:oops: boost is actually on 19psi but haven't turned it back down to 17 yet :oops:
Thanks for that Ash ive sent him a pm :)

whats the highest boost you've run on it, coz ive been toold that they can handle up to 20psi without stressing the engine?

well if you read the small print in my last message it says' mines on 19psi which for my ET is stupid! :oops: i still need to turn it down! i am still running the standard ECU and injectors and so have an inadequate tune per mods and am running out of fuel on boost! not bright on my behalf!!! i will turn the boost down to 15psi tomorrow. plus i am using a T25 ATM :oops:

with all the right supporting hardware and tune then they can handle 20psi but i'd be inclined to run some octane boost in my 98ron fuel to be safe. thats just me though. pinging is a bad thing for engines aswell as people! :D
watch out for Dan Murphy soon and his TUFFET, very tough setup right through! engine and driveline. he will be pushing 35psi+ through his ET! will be interesting.

yeah i spoke to Dan over the weekend, and he say that with my engine set up and mods, when properly tuned i should be able to run 18-20psi without any trouble :) i likes the sound of that, ill probobly keeep it low boost for a while, driving boost around 12psi and racing gona go to 20psi hopefuly:) i cant wait for TUFFET to come out ive seen some things that they have done to it recently :)

:lol: i think we are very alike. i have had a 2 way remote start alarm waiting to go in mine for the last 2 years :lol: been thinking of getting it in lately aswell. i will hook up the remote start though.

if you do the central locking again make sure don't overtighten the little shaft lock thingy's. they split so easy. :)

getting your dash and centre console trimmed? that will be interesting! :wink:
i have thought about doing the same thing myself, but in suede. just not sure if it would actually look that good on an N12 dash? dunno. if you go ahead with it then definitely post up a heap of pics! :wink:

CAR UPDATE

Post by dj_djox »

Looking for a place to mount the wolf 3d, might attempt to put the ecu internals into the standard ecu box(frame) or other wise hide the wolf and leave the standard one where it is and leave the wires hanging out of it to make it look like it is connected, this way if the car is defected might not have to change everything to how it was before.....

started fitting the injectors today nice fit but still need to get them flow tested.....

Took the dash to get trimmed but the guy that did the seats said that he has no time to do the dash as it is very difficult and would take forever to do so maybe ill look for someone else to do it or just leave it as it is

it will cost more money but i'd take it to an upholsterer that has a good track record doing custom interiors (show car type stuff). try looking through a hot 4's or fast 4's or something for car articles with good quality dash trim work and find out who did it?

my guess is that getting a dash done would cost a packet and a half!

We got the seats back from the trimmer mid this week and here is what they look like
Image
Nissan logo on all seats
Image
I think the back seats look awsom :)
Image

Also we mounted the cooler, welded all the brackets last nite still need to get some silicon hoses and then we'll fit the pipes

the underneath brackets
Image
and the top bracket
Image
this is what it looks like with half of the cooler sticking under (maybe not half)
Image

Also looking how the turbo will stand not a big clearence on the low mount t28 and the radiator but will probobly have to designe a heat shield around the exaust

Turbo back
Image
Turbo front
Image

and while we had nothing to do with the cooler pipes we thot the 3" would look good as an exaust on my brothers bike
Image


will post more pix of interior as we get it done, should have it put in by the end of next week hopefuly :)
