ALREADY OUT OF HAND !
Thanks Newaza that turbo was working very hard to get that mph
as usual its already got a little out of hand so ive ordered
- New turbo manifold from Nitro Dann
- Catch can from Dann too
- .86 Rear housing
- New watercooled 40mm wastegate
- Trackdog racing cover
- Beat rush Diff brace
- Shockworks coilovers with drag settings ( they will come and help me dial it in at the track too really good blokes )
- Cast 5 bolt to 3" v-band adaptor
- 4" bellmouth and 6 "cone filter
- Turbo beanie
- 5 Bar boost sensor
- 1550 cc injectors
just waiting for everything to arrive and then i can set it up and clean the car up i might also send the car off for some body repairs and paint the hardtop and essentially finish it so i can move onto other projects.

Updates ..
Jobs done
- water pump inlet (very nice piece of kit)
- re-painted rocker cover and replaced bolts with Allen key ones
- Garage star Cam bolts
- fitted white-line adjustable sway bar link
- fitted Shockworks coilovers
- fitted modified engine dampener (half fitted )
- Fitted fire extinguisher with new beavis bracket
- carbon top radiator bumper cover
Parts iam waiting on
- Turbo manifold ( in the mail)
- New catch can ( in the mail)
- front wheel bearings

She's tight
iam very happy with the fit i had to wiz the casting down on the comp cover a smidge on the turbo but she has a little clearance.and ive gotta add a gasket in there.Now i have the turbo i need to make some changes.
- need to sort out heat managment with gate
- make a gate pipe lots of test fitting as its tight
- custom hardline heater hose
- change drain again its going to be tight
- hotside pipe
- turbo water return
- plumb mac valve
- 4" intake
- full dump pipe the adaptor i bought does not fit

Getting there..
So oil drain and hotside pipe is done
I just need to have the 4" intake welded iam half way though the heater return pipe which is over the manifold i decided to combine the engine damper brace and the heater return for something different. Once thats all done iam going to tackle the dump and then i also need to fab up a heat shield as the TDR blanket is not going to work.

Progress....
Had a day off work and got a heap done iam being finicky and the welder i use is 5 minutes from home so there has been alot of back and forth
- Intake is now welded
- Turbo coolant return done
- Heater return done need silicon hose for over the manifold
- Dump pipe 50% made clearance issue done-ish not sure how much these motors torque up i might have to massage some more room to be safe
- Catch can fittings and lines all done
- started making external gate pipe
Only things left
- change map sensor to 5 bar
- manifold heat shield
- plumb boost controller
- iam 50/50 if i need to run water cooling on the wastegate
- Hpc manifold
- finish dump pipe
- header wrap dump

Almost there.
started and ran yesterday sounds very different no leaks so far and no knocking with the exhaust which was my main concern.
things left to do
- remove water meth
- remove sound deadening factory and the stuff i added 3 years ago
- change to 5 bar map once everything is happy
- change to 1500cc injector once 5 bar map is right
- fluid change on Auto
- external gate pipe
then its off to be retuned and go race

So the car was done ready just waiting on my tuner to get back from being away and i decided to change things up ive always regretted my ECU choice and one of my good friends just became a Haltech dealer so its getting and Elite 1500 and i thought well why the hell not use Drive by wire with the future sight of having a very good traction control system run by the Haltech and bulk sensors so i can make the car consistent.
Bought so far
- Elite 1500 and premium harness
- Bosch 68mm throttle
- Bosch 68mm flange weld on
- Ford Falcon peddle
- Haltech 4 bar map
Still need to get
- fuel and oil pressure sensors
- speed sensors for tailshaft and front wheel

Got heap done just taking my time to plan out wiring and removing any previous unused wires from last ecu and any other addons no longer needed.
Decided to change my plenum to a Skunk2 unit aswell so need to get onto that and i need to get the motivation to remove my gearbox as i have finally convinced my auto builder to let me have a transbrake as we can control it with the haltech so i can get the perfect launch.

Very nice build Sir.
Are you still rocking the stock axles and differential? If you are I'm very curious to see how they hold up leaving on the trans brake and big boost. Or are you going to limit boost on the launch and ramp it up? When I built the jatco I'm running I decided not to do a brake after seeing Pats carnage.
One last question. Do you know the size of the intermediate servo assembly your builder used on your transmission?

Update....
Engine bay about 80% done ive tried to make it as neat as possible with boots and heatshrink.Next is to order the Skunk 2 manifold and wait for it to come in
The only other issue iam having is finding cost effective NB2 hubs so i can use the wheel speed sensors for traction control later
And just spoke to my tuner about the Haltech transbrake apparently it isnt savage unless you make it that way as you can tune it ( cycle the solenoid) so it keeps my driveline in one piece.
