Yes, but anything in particular? I thought silicon deforms under heavy boost, or is that just garbage quality stuff?
This is really starting to come together How long til you reckon its back on the road? Ditching the Selin? Does this mean you're going aftermarket ECU? Thanks for stealing my joke Anti vs Rob260 - Round #4... Buy your tickets now at moshtix.com.au
Awesome work. Out of curiosity, why does it take so long to start during a first start? Is it trying to get fuel in the lines or something? What's the reasoning?
Thanks guys, no idea why it took so long, everything is moving for the first time, the rail needed to pressurize, oil needed to circulate... That'd be my guess. Went pretty well all things considered, had a water leak first up from the bastard hose, used the wrong clamp then when it started, had a huge oil leak from the drivers side turbo oil line, which I'd forgotten to tighten up... And another from the oil cooler, which I also forgot to tighten... MECHANIC 101
Well done!! It's a great feeling when it first comes to life a fresh motor. Took a while to get going, what size injectors? Have you kicked it over again???
Best feeling in the world man, couldn't stop smiling! Nismo 740's, it did take a while, I have a feeling we didn't prime it quite enough... Starts first time now, butiI'm avoiding starting it just for the moment.
I can't wait to see this thing in action. Congrats Dean. Now how long do you have to wait before you can drive it?
It's bloody great, I remember that feeling haha! Is the k value adjusted for the injectors, shouldn't take that long to prime the rail, as long as it starts fine now. Yeh definitely try to avoid starting it till your ready to drive it. Well done again.
Not sure yet man, waiting on a few calls back to organize some things, I'd love to have it going this year! Yeah k value was set when the NIStune board went in. I have a feeling the ecu isn't connected properly, I'll look into it tonight.
That would explain it - go over all your injectors/coil pack conections it should definitely fire up on all six within I'd say 5 seconds or so, that's all it took on mine. Remove your CAS and rotate it by hand slowly and make sure you can hear all six injectors click, same with spark.
My ecutalk won't connect, a quick search suggests the ecu isn't connected properly, might have attributed to the start up time too.
Wow, it's been a while... Finally got off my ass and got some more work done on the zed. After being sent two drivers side actuator brackets for my Forge actuators, I had little choice but to install the engine and deal with the problem later. 6 weeks later I received my replacement bracket from CZP, and it sat on my bench for around another 6 weeks... Lucky for me, the passenger side turbo was the one that needed attention. Plenty of access to install the bracket from under the car. If it was the drivers side, it'd be alternator out at the very least. Bracket went on with no issue, but the arm wouldn't reach the wastegate trapdoor arm, so with the old man's help, we forged one from some 316 stainless. Started with a rod, faced it, drilled and taped a 1/4" UNF thread. This allowed it to thread onto the actuator arm and give it adjustability. Then we heated the rod with an oxy and got all blacksmith on it, flattening the face. Could have simply used a mill, but with the metal flattened, there was more meat around the hole. Gave it a good bend and installed it. Bit of tweaking and it's pretty much perfect Now my question is, the nipples on the actuators for vacuum, where do these go to? I've got a eBoost2 here, it's my understanding that they've both gotta go into the solenoid? Sorry for the slab of text, pictures soon.
You need to T them together to the boost controller. The controller also needs to read pressure of your intake pipework, so both those nipples need to be T'd together to the controller too.
