Hi John,

Are there any updates to this excellent build thread?

I am particularly interested as I am currently looking at the TDX61 to replace my HKS T04R.

I am hoping it will give me a quicker spool and not necessarily more power.

I would be very grateful for your comments on this.

Thanks, Mike

 

looking forward to updates mate. Im running the same turbo, about a week away from starting to run the engine in though.

 

thats awesome

 

sorry if i missed this, but are you running the coolant level sensor with your new coolant neck? or did you remove it? IF you just disconnect it does it still beep?

 

Car looks great!

 

all i have to really say is WOW! did you report the numbers on this thread? i may have missed it reading through.

 

get that battery in the boot! lovley care mate, so much inperation!

 

Well I guess better late than never EH?





Here is a video

I can not tell you which is better as I do not have enough knowledge about the to4R. Sorry


Did you get it running? Thanks for the links

No level sensor, just grounded out the wire to stop the beeping.

Why? It is staying where it is for now.

 

I installed a Nardi D-wheel i got from mr goodfella



I need a horn button



I went to rotorfest. Had a great time. Dont mind the goon standing next to my car.



After rotorfest and only running about 12PSI max. I switched the springs to something heavier. now the car runs approximately 16.5 PSI to 17PSI



As of right now my car currently sitting with no front brakes as I am waiting for the final parts for the SBG BBK which should be here tomorrow or thursday.



I will be tracking my car at the Carlisi meet and purchased new Dunlop Direzza star specs 255 front and 265 rear. Very excited to see how well the car performs with the new rubber as my old tires were from 2005 and 2006. I also got the car aligned but have no pics.

 

How long Did it take you to figure out which hardline went where after the new spring install? Lol jkjk

 

That rubber is definitely car ****

 

HAHA, What is nice is that the way it is bent there is no way you can screw it up and connect a line up wrong, It all just falls into place.


Yes it is, I keep going outside in the garage and staring at the tires.

 

My buddy got z1 star specs on his s2000 before we went to deals gap. His grip was phenomenal with those tires. I'm sure you'll love them!

 

^I do love them, amazing grip, much better than my old tires.


I went to the Carlisi meet yesterday and had a blast. I had a great time seeing everyone and getting out on the track again. Here is a vid from my 3rd run of the day. I wish I had better camera positioning so you could see the track better, next time it will be mounted on the rear strut bar for a better view.

 

Get yourself a nice 4 point harness man!!!

 

^ I will, winter project is some racing seats and a harness plus a roll cage.

 

Man......u barley fit in the FD lol. Through the whole video I couldn't help watching how close ur helmet came to the headliner over the bumps. Sounds awesome and looked like a lot of fun though. Is it me or is there some crackling sound at the beginning of the video?

 

Car sounded great on track Johnny! I'm thinking of keeping the open WG on my next setup

You were movin' out down the main straight..... Scrubs seemed to have a hard time shaking you off at times, definitely improvement over last time

 

How tall are you exactly? I know you are a fellow big guy.

Edit: Props to your lady for riding along!

Edit 2: Crotch grab for luck at :25?

 

My helmet is hitting the headliner, I have to have the seat reclined a bit further than I would like in-order to fit.

And yes, there is some sort of crackling sound at the beginning.

Thanks.

Dan slowed down so I could catch up but once the camaro passed me Dan did not want to give him a point by so he picked up the pace.

I am 6'3" tall

Is is good that my girlfriend went for a ride as she now is not as nervous when I drive a "spiritedly" on the street as she now has a better idea of what the car and myself are capable of. She told me she was not nervous at all. And got tired of holding her head up Scrub says you can use her head as a G-meter.

That was more of a love tap

 

Awesome build man, love all the custom fab work.

 

You need Harry from Harry and the hendersons, to make a nice fitment in the car (can't find the video yet)

 

Wow what an awesome build, I can only hope mine turns out as well as yours did in detail, how well thought out + everything worked together and the end result. Were you running your SMIC in the video (the one you modified?)


Oh and just one thing.. Dyno numbers or it's all fake :3

 

Here are some pics of the carlisi meet. I had two problems while on track 1. my AI stopped working 2. oil out of my filler neck. I was able to solve the oil issue by making a temporary catch can out of a water bottle but I need to figure out what happened to the valve on the AI system.














Ihor checking me out





This is my favorite of the day!

 

Dan seems to enjoy that angle...
