Just messin around.... some new shots






PS: my intercooler is for sale btw... 30x12x4". On a 80F day, boosting hard, my AIT never went over 22C .... PM me

 

Yea man, i said above, but i have a new one and i am about to take that one off that is why i have not done anything to it. But those are the plans haha.

 

Yeah there's a big difference between a Capt and Sgt, HAHAHA. I can see where the difference in pay comes in too, if you compare your car to mine, HAHA (I'll be sewing on E-6 next month btw). Deployments help though.

Where were you in Japan? I was at Kadena from 00-03 and I had a friend who had been there for 12 years at the time, had had an FC that had about 650-700hp, would race it every weekend and rebuild it every couple months it seemed like. He had his full bridged too. Good luck with the car shows.

 

I was stationed up north at Misawa AB. The complete opposite of Kadena. We averaged a ton of snow up there and that made driving the FD almost impossible. Lucky for me I had my all wheel drive Skyline for the winter.

Congrats on putting on TSgt if you're Air Force or SSG if you're Army, So looking at your location are you stationed at Pope AFB or are you Army stationed at Fort Bragg?

Yeah the kit was almost impossible to get in Japan and even people there dug it b/c it wasn't the same old RE Amemiya kit of Veilside kit you usually see over there.

 

FEED, R-Magic, RE-Amemiya, Scoot & custom.

 

last few

 

Which engine torque damper do you have? It looks like the gotham racing one I just put on but I didn't know they sell in NZ.

 

looks like a feed torque brace

 

Hm on closer inspection it seems a bit different from mine, but a lot of it looks similar to mine. His straps to that tank on the drivers side (not sure what that is bcuz this car looks like a series 8).

 

nice, but you have way too much piping. you should have piped straight to the intercooler. other than that, looks great! i agree you need to paint those meshes black.

 

Dont know the brand of the damper. Its made here in NZ by some company.

The car is a S7 1998. RH drive.

The pipes are fine bro, I dont like making 90deg bends off the turbo just so the pipe can go straight to the IC.

Mesh will stay silver, thanks.

Thank you for comments.

 

Ah ok, I just knew it wasn't series 6! I didn't know they changed the ABS that early (in series 7) I though it was series 8.

 

TANK! what tank? That black box thing on the gard in front of the damper? Thats my alarm system bro. Hehehe.

 

the part thats bolted to the damper mount on the sidewall of the engine bay? Inbetween the side of the engine bay and the brake fluid reservoir?

 

aoc007, when are you going to get the 99spec front and repaint your car?

 

haha did I post that recently? As of Friday I have all the parts except the undertray that's coming soon and the foglights which are backordered. So I should be hopefully get it done this month, I may do the bushings before it though.

 

Hehehe, i found this post after reading my 2002 hyper rev and looking for info on the same kit. Good to know it can be found. Have you seen any higher res. pics of the demo car?

 

From an engineering perspective why do you have two BOV's?

Also whose Catch can and does it have a drain?

TIA
Crispy

 

Its for all those 90 degree turns..

 

Well when I had 1 you could hear turbo surge. (Not Tial valve)

So I changed to 2 tial 50mm 1 for each side of IC to release pressure through the whole system as fast as possible. When both valves are connected to 1 vacum line as you see the surge is still slightly there. But when each bov has its own vacum line as I have had before my boost controller required a space on the plenum. There was no surge or that che che che after gear change like alot of supras & some rx7s do. I know there are valves out there that make that noise but i hate it.

Any way these holidays I am going to plum 2 ribbed fittings into the front of the plenum so the bovs can get back to 1 line each. In that config it was beautiful. Just pure motor noise and turbo induction untill you back off and then a beautiful double blast of pssh and nothing els. then back on the gas.

But yea other than thats I should show you a vid of how fast those valves open even under no load just reving it in the drive way. The whole idea here is to prolong the life of my turbo as I drive the car to work and back every day and it sees the track now and then. Also the reason i went for a water and oil cooled turbo so that I could keep it as cool as possible.

 

Catch can is made here in NZ by Sinco Customs. Yes it has a drain underneath.
Note the 2nd oil filter next to it. I have 2. 1 there and 1 on the stock location to filter the near 7L of oil it takes now.

He also made my 3L rotor shaped water tank for my water injection that I still need to install. Look on the Greddy elbow you will see the fitting for the water injection system. Its a PINZ system made here in NZ. Pump is designed to run dry so you never have to worry about running out of water and burning the pump out.

 

sexy cars

White FD's are ftw btw

 

No I've been looking for pics all over but haven't really found anything better. Yeah Hyper Rev is usually a good one to check for pics and stuff. The trick is to find the website like the Stella one because sometimes they have special characters in the address that our U.S. key boards dont have unless you know the special Alt + 3 number combo to type on the key board.

 

Thanks for the info, now I can order my overflow reservoir...

 

Niice!

i haven't seen anyone with those front fenders, other than in Option or Revspeed magazine.
