Well its been a while since I have had my car running almost a year. But back on track getting the car together.

I don't have an actual HP goal, mostly going for some gnarly mid range and power from 4000-8000 rpm.

Probably wont get to a Dyno tell next spring. But here is the setup so far.

Sr20 redtop 90 mm bore Mazworx block
Head has a new 3 angle valve job
264 came
Knife edged and polished exhaust side.

Isis intake- after I sold my greddy to pay bills last winter.

Fuel plans 96 lb msd and jw fuelrail Edited*
dual walboro inline both hard wired for no voltage drop should be able to flow 400lph vs the 500lph if they were parallel but makes for plenty of fuel and a easier set up.

Planing on a Enthalpy reflash on my tune I have right now with a race fuel tune and a normal fuel tune. People will say, go stand alone, but that will have to wait until I can find a reliable person in the NW to tune it for me and I would need to be able to get it to them.

Got a first Gen full race twin scroll manifold

And atp .82 twin scroll housing on the way. A lot of people run the .78 but it seems to choke out around 7500 and my extra displacement plus wanting to take it to 8000 makes the .82 perfect I think. Should reach full boost by 4000 easily.

I have had a few different setups decided to make use of the built block I have and not running another t2 turbo.

well i didnt notice before but jim wolf sells drop resistors and injectors besides the fuel rail kit.so looks like that will be a cheaper route all together for a injector upgrade.

If you want voltage to stay constant for fuel pumps, you can run a Kenne Bell Boost-a-Pump. You won't need to turn it up though. Essentially it is a system that maintains voltage and can even raise the voltage to the pumps to increase output.

Also, when you run that high of volume on a high impedence injector I have heard that they often run rich at idle and are harder to tune than low impedence injectors on a standalone. Just what I have heard though. +1 for Injector Dynamics.

Glad to see you are back in the game, as a fellow NW'er. Granted, I am in Washington but nevertheless. Ray @ GarageAutohero has had more than one Formula D driver's car in his care, and I am lucky to live and work near his shop. How he does tuning though is still a mystery to me as he doesn't have a dyno in his shop. And, he's pretty far from you...

i think the hard wire kits will work just fine and it basically just a new relay with a trigger wire. probably going to go with some 96lb injectors from jim wolf, got to give him a call tomorrow.

the only thing i havent figured out really yet is how i will plum the hot pipe, it will be easier when i get the manifold and turbine housing this week, also thinking about moving my BOV to the elbow coming out of my intercooler on the cold side.

got to get some hangers re welded on my exhaust and bolt that up.
but really dont need many parts now to get it running,
the fuel injector stuff
and i have a full race turbo outlet sitting here i just need to cut the 4 bolt off and have a v band flange welded on it
a 44mm v band waste gate and dump tube
and turbo lines.
then a reflash

few things i need also.
s15 lsd w/ out put shafts to re place the one i sold
and brick head lights complete with plugs and corner lights to finish my front end,

JGY sells a fuel rail that supposedly works with top feed injectors and you can also pick whether you want stock style fuel connection, which I love because I don't feel like replacing my brand new nismo fpr. Haven't read any reviews on it but it looks nice...

idahotuner

09-19-2011, 02:05 AM

yeah the jim wolf looks about the same, i have tried to avoid dealing with JGY as i havent heard the greatest things about them, all i need is a inlet and outlet bung on my fuel rail as i have a remote FPR would like to do an electronic fuel pressure gauge, but guess the one under the hood will work fornow.

i was looking at the jwt one before, but according to enjuku's website, they dont work with aftermarket intake manifolds...

idahotuner

09-19-2011, 02:54 AM

Guess I will have to call and find out. I bolted my stock fuel rail to my greddy manifold no problem so it seems like it might just be a problem for the s14 Sr's but there are kits online that are cheep ad work with different manifolds. I mean all it is, is a drilled piece of aluminum not much that can fail.

Well got some more stuff in the mail. Cs clear corner, and clear covers, and cs fuel rail adapter. Head lights should be here tomorrow. Then I will have a shit ton of wiring ahead of me.

Hard wire both fuel pumps, wire injector plus and resistors, wire in wideband, wire in head lights. But at the same time elk hunting season started yesterday and I am hunting down some bulls I got pics of on my trail cam. So hopefully I get one soon so I can focus on building the car.

10-13-2011, 09:22 PM

Yeah..... about that my dad was lowering my car to move it cause it was in his way. And I wasn't around didn't know he needed blocks of wood under the tires to lower it down on. Well while he was lowering it the Jack broke and it slammed the hole car down . And that was where the Jack handle was

10-14-2011, 12:35 AM

wow, thats fail. yeah i know how it goes though, i keep a pair of z32 rotors in the car to drive up on when i need to jack it up. im too low for ramps though, need 2x4s for them

idahotuner

10-14-2011, 10:13 AM

yeah i normally use 2x4s also.

10-16-2011, 05:24 PM

Well got some greasy work done today, finished belting the tyranny and starter, and installed the rear diff in its housing. And I put the an fittings in the block and on the turbo, also installed the rear turbo coolant lines since Mazworx sent me the wrong coolant line. I was going delete it but not now. Freaking sucks having to put that on and tighten it down.

10-19-2011, 07:02 PM

well a new page so its time for some pictures.

i wired in my resistors for my injectors today, after much searching an a thread on here asking about it i learned that i was that they needed to be wired into these 4 red wires
http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd230/idahotuner/2011-10-18115421.jpg
and got them wrapped up
http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd230/idahotuner/2011-10-19170539.jpg
what it looked likewhen done
http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd230/idahotuner/2011-10-19170815.jpg

and i wired in my injector clips.

http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd230/idahotuner/2011-10-19114002.jpg
it works for me, and i dont need to see the stock coolant temp since i have an after market one.

and put the turbo studs in to see how the clearance would be for getting the nuts on them. going have to trip down a couple i think cause the full race manifold has a weld below the flange that doesnt allow the stud to screw all the way into flange.
then i put my intake on,and turbo and wastegate

going to go back out maybe and finish soldering the fuel system wiring harness up. got ot mount my 2nd fuel pump first so i can figure out wire lengths. going to mount it on he fire wall right under the wind shield wiper solenoid, in stalling a fuel pump killswitch to as an antitheft mesasure, for when the car actually makesit out of the wood

10-21-2011, 12:37 AM

Not much for pictures today. But I did accomplish a lot. Got the inline fuel pump mounted and wired in with a relay and fuse. Got the intake pump relay mounted and wired in. Just have to connect the wires to the pump and wire the relay kill switch.

Got the differential all sealed up with fluid. And in the car and axels bolted together and drive shaft put in. Tranny filled with fluid. B and m shifter put in and bolted down.

Aem wide band gauge mounted and wired in. So coming together waiting for the headlight pigtails to come so I can wire them in. But a couple more days in the shop like today and it will be together quickly

I must say i am disappointed with the JWT fuel rail. its method of connecting to the manifold leave alot to be desired, def not worth what they charge. trying to get the injectors to seat straight and the holes in the rail dont line up with any bolt hole on the manifold. i will make some custom brackets and then get it to work, but kinda sucks http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd230/idahotuner/2011-10-06154804.jpg

It's not the fuel rail.. It's the Ebay Intake Manifold tapping holes just where they feel like. I would seriously consider looking for a more proven Intake manifold even custom if you plan to make some serious power. Maybe even adding Q45 TB while your at it. GL!

idahotuner

10-21-2011, 10:41 AM

Its an Isis intake manifold. I don't have a stock fuel rail to see if them holes line up. But I think jwt tried making the rail to universal. In the directions it uses the bolts that secure the manifold too the head as mounting points. Seems like a lot of people have that problem with this fuel rail. The q45 throttle has crossed my mind. But I might wait tell I go stand along with a map setup.

idahotuner

10-21-2011, 05:56 PM

well i think i might drop down to 235s in the back it will be cheaper then over fenders. and sell my 275s here is a pic of 235s i nthe backhttp://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd230/idahotuner/2011-10-21162609.jpg
i can have the suspension set softer with no preload and the car should handle alot better.

finished wiring up the fuel pump relays and kill switch today.

relay mounted nicely
http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd230/idahotuner/2011-10-21134233.jpg
i think it turned out good and should work great.
got to go extend my maf wiring. and wire my head lights still but not that big of deal, now that the main wiring is over.

got to finish fabing up my lower hot pipe, the welder called and said the stuff i dropped off is finished, so i can pick that up monday and hopefully have my hot pipe dropped off then.

now its basically just making those injector mounting tabs.

started pouring rain earlier but thankfully it didnt last long but i am just crossing my fingers that it doesnt turn into snow for atleast a month.
well of to do a trash run i nthe ranger, if i can keep the dogs out of it, they love riding in it, the one on the left will sit in it for hours waiting fora ride.http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd230/idahotuner/2011-10-21124239.jpg

well here are some updates

test fit the mazworxs turbo lines since they were designed to work with their kit not full races i had to shorten the all ready short water line so i could weave it through the manifold to the turbo http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd230/idahotuner/2011-10-24222451.jpg

made some brackets for the fuel rail, seem to work good, i just got some refining of them to do.

also got my head lights wired up, the h4 beam has highs and lows in the outside brick then the inside brick is the fog light, i have it wired so the fogs are on with the high beams, but they still have a slight glow with the dims i am not sure its its feed back from the ground wire for the dims but works so eeeehhhhhhh

That fuel rail mounting looks a little rough, I've got some fuel rails I made that will mount a bit nicer if you are interested. Made for the same injectors, I'm running MSD 50lbs ATM and tossing in some Precision 1000cc's once I install the Isis manifold. I've got one of them mocked up with an Isis manifold right now if you want to see. Here is the link, the rails are the ones pictured on the carbon hood. http://zilvia.net/f/sale-items/418316-f-s-msd-50-lbs-injectors-fuel-rails-resistor-box.html

I might be going to be going 90mm 2.2 very soon as well, I'm interested to know what results you get. I gotta tear the motor down here soon to see what damage we have......

idahotuner

11-10-2011, 05:38 PM

yeah the brackets are rough, i am going to clean them up though and make it better lol. the hold the injectors in snug and square though. i wish that there was sleeves like a stock honda top feed uses to bolt their rails to the manifold on this rail i dont like all these 90* bends to hold it in place

Don't even waste your money on DW injectors. ID injectors are fairly cheap and are some of the best ones on the market right now. Go top feed for your goals, screw sidefeed.

Edit your post too, in some places it looks like you were drunk typing this.

I have to agree...they are a great company but if you are building a serious setup and want to be 100% sure that the injectors are what they say they are and lag times, setup and tuning etc are locked down get high impedance Side Feed, Denso or Nismo style direct replacement injectors. When people skimp on this part of their setup it causes all kinds of issues and they spend all kinds of time trying to track down the correct adjustments to get working.

Looks like you went with Top Feed GM style injectors? What size are you going with? Also what EMS or ECU are you using/going to use?

Looks great! Reminds me of my last GT30 car...very very fast car...

Reminds me of my last GT30 car...very very fast car... thanks for checking it out steve, i have followed alot of projects and information you have posted on. i ended up getting 96lb msd injectors, the tune i have for now a a dual enthalpy tune. mostly to get the car running, depending on AFR and how the car performs on the tune, i might
go AEM stand alone. I already had one tune so this was a reflash, with the addition of a race fuel tune.

got alot of stuff done today, exhaust all bolted on, intercooler piping all bolted up and pressure tested for vacuum leaks and boost leaks, intake and maf all bolted up.

I had a weird thing happen, the ground wire on my maf, the wire you dont use from the z32 maf to the sr harness, that you typically ground to the chassi had a melt down, when i went to prime the fuel lines, all i have done is lengthen the wires for the maf, didnt change anything at all. so i cut the wire.

and this jw fuel rail is being a pain in the butt, my budy came over and we tried a bunch of different fuel rail bracket designs, went from one injetor leaking, to all 4, to 2. just getting the angle right, other then that i could fire it up, got some minor little things i got to do still but as soon as this injector problem is fixed, it will be fired up

Well got her running and took her for a drive. Pumpped the bad fuel out. Put 5 gallons 92 in. Then it sat for about a month while I went to school. Came back ordered a z32 Isis maf. Got 5 gallons from our tank of 87 and she fired up. So when I drove it into town I took it easy. It had 93+87 mix so like 89 in the tank but 92 in the line. I was just going about 25% throttle never wot. 10 psi came on clean and strong for about 8 mins and damn the wastegate sounds harass when it opens up. Only twelve inch dump pipe. But when the 92 was burnt out of the lines and the 87+92 mix kicked in as soon as it hit boost I felt it retard timing as soon as hit hit any boost. Then when I topped it off with 100 I could tell it wasn't retarding. But it would miss right at 4 psi and just keep missing at anything above that. But at partial throttle still it pulled smooth off boost and up to 4 psi.

It actually hit 4 psi in 4 th gear at 3000 rpms and third gear it hit 4 psi at 3500 Rpms.

So I think some new coils. And cooler spark plugs. And a little timing adjustment should get it fixed.

Also its over heating while driving in and out of my 2 mile drive way under 15 MPH. But as soon as I get on the high way. It runs the normal temp. I might get a cooler thermostat. And the electric fans were working but now seem to be flaky. I know they are wired up right.

But normal to have some things to sort out which is normal.

But over all seems fine. Some good off boost power. But I am back to work. Four. Ten hour days 400 miles from home. So only get to mess with it on the weekends.

Aviation fuel is actually a higher quality fuel than that of the local gas station Cody. It is also leaded and typically lead destroys catalytic converters, but if you don't have one, no big deal. Muscle car guys run it all the time.

I'll be the first to admit i'm not a fuel junky, but I can remember (for some reason) some of the old heads at the track talking about how AV Gas has harmful burn charecteristics, and that it's been known to even destroy valves/o2 sensors and more.

Again, i don't have any first hand experience, but something tells me that if it was ok and safe to use, that more would be doing so, versus running the traditional race fuel you can buy these days.

The lead in the fuel is what harms the 02 sensors. Not sure about valves tho.

haha, i havent been on here for a few days, but wen i mentioned going to the car show and dyno on sunday my sister "kindly" reminded me here wedding was saturday, so i couldnt leave, and wedding lead to receptions, and then after parties, then strip clubs blah blah blah, so no dyno.

but its fine i got a boost leak problem i am trying to resolve, even though i have t bolt clamps and only running 10 psi, its getting past couplers, so we did a leak test and actually found the throttle body was leaking all the way around, and had to redo the throttle body gasket. also i had a bolt fall out but i cant figure where it goes, it didnt seem to come from any where important. and got the crank case setup back to stock so atleast i wont blow the dip stick out any more, and
got a new starter on the 240 and an extra one setting there cause the car was only firing off starting fluid or roll start, i know my starter was pretty toasted, i keep getting job calls for random spots in the northwest so inbetween jobs, i am trying to get these bugs worked out to run solid to makea dno worth the money,

oh and the 100 was leaded, but so is race fuel, it is what makes it stable, but i am straight piped so i am not to worried and i only ran 5 gallons back to 92 for now

05-10-2012, 07:48 AM

I was reading an article about aviation fuels and the likes of other 100+ octane fuels. It mentioned something about even though it may have a high octane reading, certain forms have different burn rates, some fast some slow. so thats something to consider. I'll try and find it again and post the link but I would think if you could find the burn rate of standard gasoline of whatever octane you usaully run and then find the 100+ octane fuel with a similar burn rate then that wouldn't be a bad thing. My thought is that that the burn rate of the fuel or time it takes to burn would be almost as important as the mechanical timing, maybe equally important but I'm no fuel junky either. I think codyace has a point in just because its aviation fuel doesn't necessarily mean its good/better for you r car. And with a sig containing such a glorious mustache, he's gotta be on to something. Maybe it just so happens that the aviation fuel your using is acceptible but with all the time and money spent on your motor, it might be worth lookin into.

You did make me think of something although i dont know if this confirms or denys anything, just food for thought.
In aircraft, the timing usually goes "all in" when the engine is up to speed. The engines do however tend to run at a steady rpm for the most part. The thing the pilot does do though is watch egts and adjust the fuel trim based off of that. Im yet to see one with a wideband but have only been in a few aircraft. I was really interested in seeing what air fuel ratios were being ran on the twin 500hp turbo flat 6 engines. I was inable to talk him into letting me hook up my lm1 though.
Anyways, it seemed really primitave for them to leave timing fixed and adjust egt by fuel trim only. You would think with as terrible the fuel economy as you get in a 7 passenger plane that there would be more ways to optomise its output.

That said, the fuel must be pretty stable and forgiving considering the lack of feedback of afr and running a fixed timing value considering these engines seem to be reliable.

Id hate to loose an engine on one of those planes. The glide ratio is terrible, you drop right out of the sky if you throttle down!

idahotuner

05-15-2012, 06:31 PM

i am very happy with how the engine runs on just 7 pounds of boost, it never drops out of boost between gears, so when you get that initial thrust in 1st and 2nd gear it just pulls steady and you almost cant even feel the shifts, even driving easy it doesnt really drop out when shifting up. 3500 is when boost hits hard

i have been fixing things the previous owner did when they did the swap, like the lack of using the brown dash plug, lets just say soldering this back on up under the dash was a PITA,

and putting the brown plug on the chassi harness, and wiring it up found several wires that were hooked up backwards, and not used, so my harness will be here tomorrow and we will see what pins are used on the chassi harness plug, and i will finish wiring that and see if she fires up,

pictures will come tomorrow and hopefully a dyne soon, i have just been busy and our road has been terrible

I was traping 114 so I think it can be done. But I never made it to a dyno. Being trying to set one up but shops haven't got back to me

With those traps and a 1.7-1.8 60ft you'd be in the high 11's.

What if I hook up in every gear lol

That remains to be seen... A 491whp hatch ran low 11's but he was having traction issues as well.

114mph will put you in the upper 11`s with a 1.7 60ft.
Also keep in mind that improving your 60ft will lower your et and also slightly lower your trap speed. If you are getting 2.2-2.3 60fts and you improve them to 1.7 with proper tires/suspension you will trap a little less mph wise but cross the finish line much sooner.

yeah i serious spun all the way to red line in 3rd gear. I’m suppose to be picking up some slicks and some stock suspension, 11 inch slicks, just need to find some 16 inch wheels, i thing i have some behind my shop but not sure, i have a feeling my tranny isn’t going hold up

the first guy i ran against ran a 10.9 at 140. but he had a reaction time of -.17

Your spinning all the way through 3rd gear on the track?
What do you have low profile 225's?

245/45/17s I think the rubber is hard on them and neg camber is making the contact patch real narrow. And 30psi in them.there are wide 245s 10 in

Lowering air pressure on a regular street radial wont help and can actually hurt. Having stanced out camber will definitely not work on a car actually meant to be fast.

Like to see what kind of torque this set up makes. Your tranny is going to like it.

Get some drag tires for sure. I actually like Bias stuff, radials are hard on stuff.

With that much tire spin it's hard to deduct anything from the car other than it moves pretty well.

bias a brand or a tread design

Bias ply is a tire type... It's built differently than normal street tires.

Just spent an hour reading your thread. I'm the guy who bought your Greddy intake mani back in dec 2010. My car still sits :-(
Time or lack thereof sucks man! Glad you are back in the saddle....more vids please.

well got my stock suspension on, one side seems to sit a little lower then the other but hey i think i will grip better. got these babies to

What was your mph?
You should ge able to get a much better 60ft that a 1.93 with those DR's

idahotuner

06-10-2013, 01:05 PM

116 mph was running pretty consistently

idahotuner

06-10-2013, 01:06 PM

I kept turning the boost down in 2nd. Cause no matter hiw much I heated them uo they busted loose. And the track wasn't prepped very well

Tom N

06-10-2013, 01:23 PM

With that mph you should be in the 11's
How much air pressure you have in them? Are you warming them up good?

jr_ss

06-10-2013, 02:36 PM

Tire pressure should be between 12-15psi, 10psi is the lower limit.

idahotuner

06-10-2013, 03:41 PM

I got on the mickey t site and for street radials i thought it said 8-10 psi. I started at 15 psi and I think my fastest pass was with them set at 15. But I'm going dyno before I go racing again. I was shifting into 4th before the line though. Reving out to 7800rpm

Correction to my original post. I'm assuming your street radials are 275's and should be run between 14-18psi no lower than 11psi.

Ran a 12.4 this weekend. Still spinning 2nd alot and 3rd a little. Bet 60' was 1.93. I need to get on a dyno cause one of the cars I raced was a stock 5.0 2012 and he launched a little better, I almost caught him in 2nd busted loost. Theso he got ahead again. Then hit 3rd and i end up being a car length ahead when we crossed the line.

For times like this I really wonder how effective the boost by gear, boost by rpm, and traction control tuning available in the aem stand alone could be.

idahotuner

06-10-2013, 05:31 PM

I'm using an apexi avcr to control boost. I know I'm setting it and its staying because I double check it using my mechanical gauge and the boost gauge on the controler

idahotuner

06-10-2013, 05:34 PM

Also I can only make so much boost up until the point I break loose.

I know from the FWD world that it's pointless. Much easier to make up for traction with a taller tire and a longer burnout

Traction is hard to get in a fwd anyways.

But as far as the op blowing off the tires I wasnt suggesting anything is wrong with your boost controller. What I was saying is with aem ems you can have it run different boost at different rpms, different gears and different wheel speeds to reduce the chance of spinning. Then if it detects wheel spin you can have it further reduce boost. If it is still detecting boost you can have it reduce timing or cut it ect to detune the engine until traction is regained. I have never messed with it personally but it does seem like there are tons of tuning ability to help with traction. I just wonder if its any faster than working your foot. Most traction control systems I have seen let you spin too long, rob too much power when it comes on, and then lets it rip again with too much power (rinse and repeat)

Hey man, if you end up with any questions about the engine setup let me know. My GTX3076R sleeved/solid lifter SR is now tuned, stable and daily driven. I have about a thousand miles on it now.

With sticky 275/40/17 NT05s it will just barely stick third in a straight line. 1st and 2nd will spin when boost hits. I just got a new GoPro Hero cam and will have video to post soon. I wouldn't mind going to the drag strip for fun, but if I mounted up drag radials I probably would break an axle and I don't want to spend $1,800 for the Mazworks axles.
