GH Rebuild, Maybe.

[turbosigma]

No with Just Cars (aami) - and its an option - so I'm paying a bit extra to include that now .

Mr Joel remove'n more rust.





Turbo is back again - blaming the filter for being to much of a restriction, oil gets sucked from behind the compressor wheel. Would make sense if it wasn't the same filter on there before rebuilt .
To be on the safe side going with a 5" filter now, with reducer to 4".

Mr Joel seems like a pretty handy guy to have around.
Nice work on fixing the body work

Yep - cobalt blue this time.

When are we going to see some colour?

Dave...

When are we going to see some colour?
Dave...

That's the best I can do for now Dave - UK-5 Over BC-03 - 3L of it.

Good to see someone welding up those vents on the rear pillers, I was thinking about doing the same on mine.
What the hell is wrong with that turbo? Did you melt it???

We PAID a shop to do that 10+ years ago - a quick check by Joel found metal strips glued in, then bogged and painted. Maybe thats why they closed down.
The turbo was fine - puff of smoke now and then, not bad for 5 years of boosting - had it reconditioned while wait'n on the head - by the 3rd trip it was stuffed - oil from behind the comp wheel.
Its back again now. Just need to install. Turbo dude is blaming the air filter - to restrictive - same filter that was on before and never had a problem.
Have a 5" K&N ready to go in now.

Last door.






Finish it of next week.

Chasing GE Gard Vents now.


Edit:- new Bonnet

[turbosigma]

Bonnet done last Sunday.


This Sundays effort.
GTS Flutes.




Intake half done.

[crystalmeths]

Slow, but still on going.

Replace the guard that got hit.





Re-do the s13 radiator - Cut down to clear the intercooler pipes.


Installed the delphi 1000cc injectors - replacing the old rx7 550cc.



And, something missing in this pic.
shit Steve your no having much luck I hope your gonna take it back and get it done for free and get them to pay for any other damage done by it

After 3 run's around the local area the turbo shit itself - can only guess the new kid put it together.

[amgis_obrut]

stuff you steve i wanted that bonnet but forgot to bid


I hate you right now

[turbosigma]

shit Steve your no having much luck I hope your gonna take it back and get it done for free and get them to pay for any other damage done by it

Dont want to jinx it, but not smoke'n for now - but still had to pay for turbo flange gaskets.

stuff you steve i wanted that bonnet but forgot to bid
I hate you right now

Then you will be happy to know, I got it $100 cheaper.



Edit:- BOV return getting done over the week

[turbosigma]

Intake finished.


Right side guard flutes.






And that will be it for awhile. Only rust left is around the window, and that will be done when the car is striped and painted.

[amgis_obrut]

whats with the pipe crossing in front of the engine ?

EDIT

ah plumb back BOV

[turbosigma]

Crazy idea - but right place, right time.

[turbosigma]

New fuel reg - non adjustable to keep the powers that be happy.

Chased up a few numbers - maybe useful to others.

2.5 Bar - 36.3 psi
Bosch # 0 280 160 227

3.0 Bar - 43.5 psi
Bosch # 0 280 160 249 The one I got. May get two yet.

3.5 Bar - 50.7 psi
Bosch # 0 280 160 263

3.8 Bar - 55.1 psi
Bosch # 0 280 160 287

These are all drop in the magna rail - But the return on the last two has a different fitting (screw on not barb).



And anyone that's go'n twin fuel rails post what you have done. (injectors / pumps - rails separate or one feeds the other etc)

[turbosigma]

More rust - and fix what a muffler dude bent on the rear.

[ISKA8]

farrk man i wish i had your patience..the car is looking awsome,do you know what power figures you getting out of the beast? also what turbo are you running?

[turbosigma]

patience.. pff - that went ages ago.

Power - only dyno I have is 156kw@14 or 16 psi (boost low due to injectors)- Keep in mined I run low comp 6.9 so need more boost. Seriously needs a tune, but has been put off again due to the twin rail intake getting done.

Garrett - 60-1 Say the turbo dude. But may use the gt35r from the GK yet.


And Chris - this is why the GK is on the back burner.

[crystalmeths]

Excuses , Excuses It is looking good mate

[turbosigma]

Small update.

Larger ports.


New cam wheel trigger disk, thicker/lighter than the old magna pulley.


Also have a Carter P4601 fuel pump, new surge tank and a 044 for the secondary rail with 4 x 1000cc injectors.

Should I keep the 910 pump for the primary fuel rail that has 4 x 550cc or add another 044 to dual feed both rails?

[amgis_obrut]

Crazy idea - but right place, right time.

I've seen than manifold before, didnt happen to get it from port kembla did you ?

[turbosigma]

I've seen than manifold before, didn't happen to get it from port kembla did you ?

Yes, not like Fred was ever going to use it. Just needs the TB, thermo and secondary injectors drilled.

Cam cover In.


and need to find room for the catch can.

[turbosigma]

Oil/air separator - catch can thing in.
Weld on the cast 90.



And thanks to ozgdgalants - GE bumper and bonus...


Still after a rear bumper and a front for the plastic side bit and maybe the brackets etc.

[psshhhht]

man, sorry to read about the crash, but glad to see you're rebuilding it. Love the GTS flutes in the side. Mate with all this cutting and welding, are you gonna get the door handles shaved too? would look awesome!

[turbosigma]

are you gonna get the door handles shaved too?

If it was a Scorpion - maybe.

Small update...

Passed rego with just a ball joint to change. Nissan in there wisdom don't sell just the ball joints on there own. You buy a complete new arm (I run a s13 front end for those that don't know). Unfortunately local auto place can't get any new sigma LCA bushes. I'm sure If I searched a bit longer some would have turned up. Anyone else starting to have the same problem?

The fix - Sleeves for the s13 bushes.


No idea when the paint will be going on. Will have to warm up and need Mr Joel to pull finger out. Till then I've been on the look out for different badges.




After another ∑ and Galant badge if anyone has. And I know theirs very little chance - glove box badge.
