However... the 6766 never got the GEN2 compressor wheel, ( Im assuming they're going to phase it out eventually) The Gen2 6466 makes just as much power and spools faster, while the 6870 ( only came Gen2) spools nearly identical and has the potential for 1000whp So yeah its a little outdated in comparison to whats out there now, like i said its not a bad turbo by any means, but theres just better options out there now. Im currently running a 6870 I previously made right at 800whp with my 6766 FYI |

Ok, got another update from my fab guy today. he was able to get the majority of the downpipe finished up. The piece really had to snake quite a bit to get around everything on its way down to the ground. Quite a few hours went into this piece. Once under the car, we still had some concerns on ground clearance using 3.5 pipe. Especially going under the transmission crossmember. Andrew, my fab guy suggested we use a small transition to an oval stainless steel portion go travel under said crossmember. I think the piece cam out great, and looks really good in person. The last picture makes the outlet of the downpipe look a little off center, but its just an illusion. The heat shield above the pipe is not secured and is a little offcenter causing this...... anyway....

Just a small update. Stopped by the Haltech location close to me (My fab guy actually is an employee there) to talk about my build and ended up paying them a ton of money..... Keep in mind my actual ECU from Haltech is still in transit from Australia. I ended up picking up the WBC1 kit while I was there along with the display gauge that apparently is a newer release. They also convinced me to go ahead and get a boost control solenoid and a good IAT sensor since I will convert to MAP on the tune..... Anyway, just a quick shot.

Went by the Fab shop this morning to bring some exhaust wrap to throw on the downpipe before we bolted it in for good. He hopes to finish the exhaust this afternoon, but I snapped a few pictures while I was there....
A better shot of the Charge pipes from underneath And a good underneath shot of how the wastegate will be placed |

I did go from an 8, which i believe is standard, to a 7 which is one step colder. I also chose to go with the Copper plugs, as Im sure I will change them often. Also have read that copper plugs put of a very good spark, they just dont last as long as the platinum or iridium's.

Good evening all. Very exciting day for me. Spent all day at work bored as hell, and the. Got to come home to my new house and install an over the range microwave. Finally got time to sit down and open a package I got today. It made me very happy to say the least. These puppy's are on a 2 month back order at the moment. Will get the car back this Saturday and get to wire it all in.

I plan on spending some time tonight if I have a moment to sort out how to mount the Haltech and wire in the harness from Wiring Specalties. Also need to install the my gauges. I have a date with the dyno and tuner on 6/27. I hope to make the import alliance summer meet.

Sorry everyone for the sparce updates here as of late. I have been overwhelmed with trying to move into this new house. I have spent some time with the car though. Nothing too impressive to post pictures on. I have been working with the wiring specalties harness and the haltech wideband wiring. I will be sure to post pictures of finished products for sure. I did get a couple goodies in the mail as well to include a custom Saikou Michi catch can. These things are legit, and are commonly used in the lotus community. I had mr. Michi make a custom one for me to use in my situation. Also requested it be powder coated white. I decided to use a closed loop system so that the system will still have vacuum unlike an atmosphere setup. More pictures of it installed shortly.
I also spent a little time working on fans. I ordered a total of 2 12" spal fans that flow 1200cfm each. Come to find out, it's a very tight fit. One of these will work on the passenger side of the radiator, but in no way will fit on the drivers side with power steering. My plan as of now is to use the one 12" fan as a primary cooking source powered by the haltech and then install a smaller 9 inch fan on the other side as a secondary also run by the haltech. Smaller one will kick on if water temps get to high. Anyway...... More later. CHEERS! |

Snapped a couple more quick pictures for you all tonight to explain some things I was trying to discuss earlier. Sorry for the crappy pictures. Did the best I could do with my cell phone at 11:30 at night.
Here is a quick picture of where I am wanting the catch can to be placed at home. This picture doesn't show it bolted down, but close to where I want it. Bigger barb obviously will go to valve cover breather, and smaller barb will go to the vacuum source on turbo intake. Here is a quick picture showing the Haltech IAT sensor I installed. I had to tap and retread the OEM location to fit this better sensor. We all know the Nissan ones are junk basically the same sensor as the water temp sensor. The picture also shows where I installed the water temp sensor on the water outlet. This will send to my aftermarket gauge in the cabin. And last but not least, a quick couple pictures that show my space delimma I am having with the radiator fans and my belt drive system. The picture shows my 12 inch spal installed on the passenger side of the radiator. It's a tight squeeze, but works. |

Ok you all. I have slowly been making progress with the car. This weekend I attempted to battle all of the gauges in the car to include the Haltech wideband, the Defi boost gauge, and the speedhut oil pressure, water temp, and oil temp gauges. For the three speedhut gauges, I decided to purchase a BMW radio delete panel and cur three 52mm holes. The boost gauge and the wideband, I picked up a gauge pod from a place called rally road productions. Here are a couple pictures. Sorry the Defi is blurry in the picture, it is really bright. Lol.
I have also been spending a ton of time wiring the whole damn project. Not much to show for it, but sure does take lots of time. Lol. 95 degree temps don't help either. Last bit of the puzzle I have yet to solve is the throttle cable..... |

Yes. The speedhut gauges all have sensors in the engine bay that run wires to the cabin. The wideband is run through a seperate box via the haltech.

Roadblock!!!!!
So I have a date to take my car to my tuner on this upcoming Monday. I decided to spend this weekend getting the car ready with fluids and such. I got to a point where I felt comfortable to fill with coolant. I started to fill with a mix and started to hear water hit the ground. It makes me very angry and sick to my stomach that coolant is leaking from the water pump. I'm stalking a stream, not a slow drip. If you remember from my previous posts, this motor was built and assembled by Raw Brokerage, to include install of this water pump. I'm not happy to say the least. Quite disappointed. I chose to spend the extra money to have a very reputable group build this motor, and this just seems silly. I have sent an email their way in hopes they will make it right. Keep your fingers crossed for me. |

There she blows!!!!!
It was the bolt hole I suspected it to be. I'm sure you Rb guys are aware of the genius engineering behind Nissan when they decided to make a single bolt hole oval shaped instead of the standard bolt circle. I think it was to make the pump more of a cross reference piece between all Rb motors. Anyway, it was not sealed up properly from Raw Brokerage. Luckily an easy fix, but still out me behind schedule. Will try and remedy today and start the car tonight. |
