Looking good!

awesome mate!!!!!!!!

Yay! That's a tasty turbo!
Nice one dude, how much is the power gain?

Have fun with it :)

Oh,looking good Seano!!Very neat job.
Love the blue colour.
100kws ??

Seano rip the cam cover off and paint it blue also and do the wording in the same colour as the car.
I reckon that would look the ants pants.

No JDM motor now?

Not finished yet, hopefully only another week... Its been off the road far too long now as it is...

Dave, me thinks you should stick to not voiceing your opionion on colour scheme's :P

High flow cat, straight through muffler, no resonator.... MMM Can anyone say deeeelicious?

Sean

looks nice.

No resonator?? Man it will sound like you are on the inside of a 200lt. drum. I ripped the resonator off Family Hack but after 100kph it was sooooo loud.
Sounds great cruising around the streets but !!
Okay I will shut up about colour schemes as we are 2 generations apart.I still reckon it would like sweet.

That blue is a big light.

Paint other parts of the engine bay that colour would be outright late 90's rice. :(

Everyone knows that POLISHING is the new blue. Go for gold with the autosol! :P

ohhhhhh *does happy dance for seano*

Yeah look out Brendo, soon Mighty's going to be on the prowl..

Ok guys I'm hyped... Dropping it off tomorrow at the mechs!!! Booyeah

Seano

looking good!

have you started it like that yet? lol

Nah not yet, waiting for it to be all finished before I turn the key... For obvious reasons

Seano

Very nice indeed Sean. Who did the work?

Neil from Fyshwick Exhaust, referred by Ben and was given an awesome deal!!!

Seano

Car was started today...

Some issues with the dizzy though, but an easy fix

Photo's coming soon

Sean

heh dizzy what was wrong with it

Hurry up and drive it around to my place when its done!

I'm not sure aaron, can't remember

Cisco... Cruise on Wed/Thurs night? :D

Sean

BTW - There's been a few changes to the design...

Sean

Here's a pic of what the turbo looks like from the rocker cover's perspective

Hrrmmm

And another view... Couldn't hold the camera still because I was so excited so its a bit fuzzy...

Oh by the way.. I altered the ISO on my Sony DSC-P32 camera and it works trumps! The above pic is awesome compared to others I took... Damn Auto ISO

Ok... Can anyone spot something weird here

Sean

Hmm the cooler just sitting there or the weird battery thing ?

... *cough*

Dizzy problem is fixed

The RPM signal was switching between 900rpm and 7000rpm because one of the tooths on the disc was slightly smaller.

So, basically my mechanic modded an RB30 disc to fit (reground to size etc...) I'll get more info on this when I pick the car up

The car fires up sweet now.... instead of brapBRAPbrapBRAP its now rooooaaarrrrr

Only minor things to do like install guages... And intercooler piping!!!

Weeee

Looking good Seano !!!
Wear an extra pair of undies when you drive it home for the first time but bet it will be a looooong drive home.
Gee getting dangerous driving around Canberra with all these forced Micras lurking.
You and Cisco will be able to hunt as a pack. You round em up and Cisco goes in for the kill.
FIRE IT UP !!!!

You're right about the second pair of undies...

I'm going to take it easy for the first few weeks, days, hours... oh who am I kidding? If it gives birth to a rod then its time for forgies and more debt

Wed looks to be the dyno day... Woooo!!! Gots me a camera too

Sean

Wow, a very neat and professional looking installation. I look forward to hearing how it goes. "Mighty" will now be very very fast I am sure !.

Looking good Sean. Very clean.

I like the colour of the manifold. I think I'll get mine painted black soon. It really looks cleaner, and I think better painted:)

I sat in it today and revved it :D

*beaming smile*

Wed hopefully is the day

Sean

Ahh:) Bring on Wednesday.

Looks good mate i bet you can't wait!

Have any of you guys managed to turbocharge your car and have a front mount intercooler as well as aircon?

Can it be done?

Or are you all just POWER junkies now ?

It can be done - its just going to cost you a bit more and require a bit more thought into the placement and how the IC will be secured.

On the micra it may even require modification of the aircon pipes (which is possible, just can be expensive as custom aluminum pipeage is required, and of course the system will need to be regassed when you remove one of the pipes...)

Tomorrow is the day...

Mighty... RISE

Gooooooo Mighty!!!!!!!!!

Eeeekkkkk ! clear the streets, Seano about to be let loose in his pumped up, bad mannered monster.This Micra now has attitude... bad attitude.
Rang the traffic police in Canberra and they are on full alert.
Very hard to mount front mounted intercooler plus A.C. plus radiator. You have the 3 stacked up behind each other. Believe me we looked at this very hard before going top mounted with Hack.

You didnt finish the story. It needs either a dragon or an ending.

Was the ending something along the lines of "a front mount on a k11 with factory aircon is just not finacially viable"?

Just curious. :) (and scared of the dragon)

Speaking of cops, I saw around 7 tonight on the way home

Seano

lol, how about the cops between the snowies and canberra the monday after the cmf meet, we counted 14 i think, heh, bugger all cops on the island :D

Alex

what boost are you running?

Weeee BOOST!!!

Made 2psi at 2,000rpm... and full boost was made at 3,000rpm...

At the moment the minimum boost the actuator will run is 14psi so I have to feather the throttle to not go over 0.5bar (for now :D)

Also... because of the overboost problem, couldn't really get a power reading... But it made 400nM and 90kw@w at around 3,000rpm on 7-8psi

Yummmm

Been boosting around all day!!

Mighty... Rise!

Seano

Yay congrats mate.

Must feel good.

Keen to hear a realistic power figure and see how she goes. I know you don't really believe the 90kw@wheels at just 3000rpm is accurate :)

Yay another boosted micra in the ACT. Yeehah!

400NM is that right?

Shit thats amazing if it is right for a 1.3, Cisco how much torque does the Blue Monster produce?

Of course those figures are belated... But its what the screen showed so I'm quoting them!!!

Woo... been boosting for like... 6 hours now... legs hurt!!

Seano

OI!!! And you didn't even come out ya derro

Sean

Torque measured off the dyno is tractive effort which is different to the torque figures quoted at the engine by manufacturers etc.

To convert tractive effort to that kind of torque, you need to factor in the wheels on the car at the time, and the gear and final drive ratios to get it back to torque from the engine figure.

Real peak torque for blue monster is somewhere around 250Nm. A factory SR20DE pulsar puts out 179Nm.

Yeah I know sorry mighty. Work is going crazy at present, I'm always getting home after 7pm and then I'm absolutely stuffed and stressed. I'll try for tonight, if not the weekend might be looking good. Sorry mate, still keen to see it.

Careful cisco, sean might think that you're scared of being beaten by mighty... haha

Congrats Sean. Well worth the wait:)

Looking forward to seeing your final figures. And also hearing about some of your boost missions.

Cheers. Gareth

yep, nice one mighty. Next time your boostin your way south down the Tuggas raceway err.. I mean parkway give me call and drop in. Will speak to you in bit anyway about them parts. vrmmmmm pssst vrrrrrmmmmm psst yay

Hey white micra, we'll all have to meet up sometime.
Yay, I didn't notice we had another Canberra member, I think Seano mentioned you to me recently.

Does the *This weekend meet up* dance

Hopefully solving my overboost situation today

Sean

Sh!t!!

My T25G actuator won't fit as my turbo is well weird! Phoned up GCG today and they didn't even know what my turbo came off.

So now I have to wait on my T2 actuator from Sydney and hopefully Ben can mod it to fit my weird ass turbo...

Then all thats left is the bonnet scoop and engineer's certificate..

*sigh*

Sean

bonnet scoop!!! what?? What happened to ultimate sleeper?

Good luck, get that actuator in there ASAP mate, and you'll be laughing.

I am truly impressed with how quickly Ben got your car on the road. It shows just how much work the big guys take on which has the stupid massive impacts on service and turnaround time. Ben is awesome!

Yeah a subtle little one though mate...

I'll show you when I see you next... Theoretically I can keep the i/c with no scoop running water injection only.. But I'd use roughly a full tank of water to a tank of petrol (more if I wasn't careful)

So yeah.. a nice subtle scoop is the way to go

Sean
