ok so a little photo bomb time, so as it stands the manifold are 95 % finished just need to weld the EGTs on and the gate pipes and it all done they are all welled up and fit (turbos are not clocked in photos just on) these are the bigger 43mm ID and 48mm OD. He is starting on the dumps now then gate and the 4inch cutouts, then all that part of it should be done. we will configure the ash massive side mounts to work with this set up for now till me work out what we are going to need in terms of the final intercooler set up, im still pushing side mounts at this point i recon i can make really huge ones to get what we need out of them (water to air is not something im keen on atm) next would be the 4inch intakes as well and intercooler piping, then i need to bring her home and pull the engine out and do all the oil lines water lines return line etc etc then that should be it we should be ready to start her up again. she is coming together slowly slowly , this guy has only had the car for i think 4 weeks now look how far he has come, all will be revealed about him latter. we also will not be using trent for chequered tuning as the car will be making a little bit more power then his dyno can take, i do have the syvecs king here in Melbourn as he is there distributer and know the syvecs 100% i also have access to him 24 7 and i need that support when out racing, on a side note roll racing at Calder park there is no leader board so mph and times are not a thing so i can roll race all the time and can not get kicked out, we are going to set up for this as well im supper excited for this. i hope you guys enjoy these photos , thats it for now cheers
few extra photos, it's getting there slowly, it's a massive job, we think it should be finished soon few weeks away id say, when i get her home then the fun starts, i will post photos of the intercooler piping when he starts i am using the ash missives coolers till i sort it out, but i will be using side mounts, this will be a decision for a later date, not something i want to think about atm, 80% will not be front mount, i need to pull the engine out and do all the water and oil line and other small things, then i will stop and enjoy it. i still need to dry sump it and sort out the cooler side of things but this can wait, no rush at this point of the build, all the hard crazy work is done, the rest is not too bad in terms of available products to buy, but it will take time, it's come a LONG LONG way and im over the moon to say the least. the engine still needs to go down and back but this will all take place when setting up the dry sump once that is done then the big task of balancing the car up as best we can, over all it is much much lighter now so this is something i must do. lot more work to do hope you guys enjoy this project, cheers alex
so we are not to far away now all of the titanium and SS is all 100% finished the only thing thats left now is the intercooler piping to finalize this part of the build, this may take just a little more time then expected but all is going well, i say maybe few weeks away from finished. ( he does now have an important job he must do for a customer and thats fine ) i will need to bring the car home then start on the oil line water lines and air lines, then all back together she goes, and that will be it for a while ill get her up and running and enjoy it for a bit, 4 inch bumps and 4 inch cut out the rest is 3 inch titanium, thats a total of 7 inch outlet for the big power/boost day , the dump valves will be controlled by me not the ecu. my other huge problem is that all the fabrication work look damm good, but i really need to heat wrap these pipes up and take away the amazing work, the manifolds and cooler piping will all get heat wrapped its not really something i want to do because they look so so so damm GOOD but i just have to , for the time being , i will be using the DEI wrap stuff , up until i figure out what i want to do and how to best approach this. After all said and done, ill will need to dry sump this and then set up the balance of the car, as its a little of now then paint and that will be the very end for this car. im not chasing anything specific as this question comes up a bit, this is just a good allrounder weekend worrier.
pipe work is art, puts in prospective how small the holinger is. I know you said side mounts but have a look how this r35 plazmaman core fits a z32 https://plazmaman.com/product/gt-r-r35-pro-series-intercooler-only/ 3rd pic along
