Nice job so far Chris!

Besides practically every purpose built drag car?

And Chris, damn it's a small world! I was talking to a buddy of mine at a car meet the other night and he started talking about the oil issues in the RB26 head and how to plug the hole in the back ect. It reminded me of this thread and I asked if he knew you...turns out he said he knows you quite well...funny. My buddy is Tommy out of Pensacola, he just spun an oil bearing in his rb26 and I think TopHat is rebuilding it for him right now.

heyitzalan · 05-13-2007, 12:18 AM

been a long time since u started it, when will u be done? lol

umsports · 05-13-2007, 09:24 PM

The car will make its debut at the Hot Import Nights Tour on June 9th in Dallas, TX.

Speed by Design (Setrab Model #925) Oil Cooler Kit for the 240SX

umsports · 05-22-2007, 10:07 AM

Yesterday, Andy (Southern Imports in Murfreesboro, TN) began finishing out the fuel system, which should be done today.

Up Next was the Exedy Triple Disc Clutch, special thanks to the team at Exedy for their support over the years.

Ran the -10 AN Lines from Desynz Motorsports Oil Return Mod from the back of the head to the oilpan, as seen in the following two photos.

Finished the lines to the cooler, so that mission is completed.

umsports · 05-25-2007, 07:29 PM

A shot of the finished oil cooler assembly:

McKinney Motorsports Race Motor Mount Kit, Tranny Mount, and Driveshaft

Everything on the bottom fitted up nice and snug:

Step-by-step Photo Guide:

Greddy RB26DETT manifold, adapted to run twin-scroll and the Tial Sport 60mm wastegate.

The wastegate had to be moved to fit into the 240SX engine bay.

mayco_86 · 06-06-2007, 12:09 PM

Hey how much for one of those turbo manifold. Am interested. thanks

umsports · 06-13-2007, 09:03 AM

Monday Night, Andy and I worked til 2 a.m. @ Southern Imports to get the motor running.

When we attached the AEM EMS ECU, it started first crank with the AEM supplied base map.

I was very impressed with how simple the box is to use, and I want to thank Sean Morris for taking my phone call late at night to confirm we had the configurations setup accurately.

We still have lots of work left to be done, and these are, by no means, final images.

As you can see, there are aftermarket gauge sensors that need to be hooked up. The boost controller is not installed, the intake for the turbo still needs to be ordered, downpipe has not been fabricated, and the upper intercooler piping has not been polished.

But the motor runs, and that's a success in itself.

Yesterday, I transported the car to Texas, and will be finishing up the car here.

Once again, thanks to Andy Vaughn @ Southern Imports in Murfreesboro, TN. He, by himself, built 95% of the car that you are fixing to see. He is a amazing fabricator, engine builder, and friend. Thanks again Andy!

Here are the images and the start-up video:

steve shadows · 06-13-2007, 09:30 AM

Very kickass.

Im just kind of wary of that manifold. Ie the part whre the wg is braced directly to one of the runners. Hopefullly it will be a ok.

umsports · 06-13-2007, 06:39 PM

Yes, on one of the runners. I think she'll hold..

umsports · 06-20-2007, 08:21 PM

We now have everything finished with the motor minus the installation of the new 24x12x4 intercooler that arrived today.

I want to thanks Matchless Performance (Addison, TX) for the fabrication of the downpipe, which came out better than I would have ever imagined. The welds are amazing, and extremely clean.

Here are the latest images:

umsports · 06-24-2007, 11:16 PM

While I still have the interior to finish off, here are the completed exterior shots.

This 240SX has been four years in the making, with 30 corporate sponsors on the stage II build.

I want to give a special thanks to Andy Vaughn @ Southern Imports, and Chris Hamilton (tuner) for their work on the vehicle.

OBEEWON · 06-25-2007, 08:24 AM

Wow, car is wet man. I can empathise with you on the axles man. Doing another one today, same side too.

Vid and Dyno sheet stat!

umsports · 09-06-2007, 09:42 AM

Sorry about the delay on posting up dyno numbers, but I have crazy busy and the car has sat for the past few weeks.

I have not added C16 yet, but I did tune the car for E85 Pump Gas. Right now, E85 (106 Octane) is $2.18/gallon at the pump here in Texas, so it's a no-brainer.

As you can see at 25 PSI, the car made 629/490.

I'm decently happy, but will be upgrading probably to a GT42R, as I really want to break 700whp on pump gas.

Also, took the car to be weighed, and I was pleasantly suprised.

With full interior minus a passenger seat, and 3/4 tank of gas, the car came out to 2890 lbs.

Look for a larger turbo, and big power numbers over the next few weeks!

steve shadows · 09-06-2007, 09:51 AM

why not just add a gallon of 104 to every 5 of 93.

keep the current turbo.

You should be able to hit it at 27 psi with the RIGHT tuning.

I think 650 would be more enjoyable and faster with less lag.

Why not pay $2.18/gallon and fill up at the pump, with no time spent mixing gas, etc? I'm running straight 106 E85, where mixing 104 and 93 would equal what 98? Doesn't seem like a better option.

With the cam gears dialed in (not currently been touched), and 27-28 PSI, I think it's possible with a larger A/R.

G-Wagon · 09-06-2007, 01:03 PM

Do you still have A/C & heating?

*exitspeed* · 09-06-2007, 01:28 PM

I don't mean this to be disrespectful at all, but is this thing ever gonna see a track or an event? Or was it built for a different reason? Like to sit at a show on BFGoodrich stands.

Brian · 09-06-2007, 01:38 PM

It was built for drag racing, and the occasional wangan race in Mexico.

It should be possible with your current turbo.

You should be able to touch 690 whp range.

I mean Im just trying to help you.

750whp from 6k-8k will be a slower car than 700 whp with a powerband from 5-8k.

just my 2 cents

oh and personally twin gt3040r hks turbos would have been the best way to go.

Spool with be similar to current + you would have 750+ whp capability easy.

noturS14 · 09-06-2007, 05:19 PM

umsports · 09-06-2007, 06:01 PM

Wow Evan, glad we came through for you.

Tyler joined me in April, and I'm glad to see you are impressed with our customer service.

And yes, Tyler's KA-T used to be red, but is now a Pearl Purple custom color.

There's pics of it on here somewhere.
