Complete, done, Ended, Finished, Ready!!!!!
Well its been a while, and Now as the title says, Complete!!!
It has been 4 months since my last post, and have got a big update for you, so I better go ahead and start this,
Well After the sucsess of Motorvation 07 and mainly getting some new tyres - 265/35/18s, It went home and was time to start the new process of its life, The Old turbo blew some seals, hence why it was so smokey!! So I thought it might be good to just go a new turbo, High-mount (True show poney coming through)etc, I sold my existing Turbo Manifold, Dump and Front Pipe, Cat Converter and the Screamer pipe which plumbs back into the exhaust.
To take this out, I did this myself in my Single laned carport, and Really, I just found it to be some nuts and bolts and quite straight forward (To my suprise), took about 2 hours, and then The engine bay turbo side was all open..As you can see the photos below.
So once this was out, I had already pre-ordered a Turbo Manifold and ITS 60-1 Turbo From Grant @ Per4manz Turbos, But sadly to both parties, Weeks on end, Just kept dragging on and seemed to be lost in transit (The manifold this was)Then Chinese New Year came up, so that was another two weeks. Then We thought it was on there way, but then still didnt come, So unluckily I had to pull out of the sale due to not being able to just keep waiting. So I was lucky enough to pick up a SR high Mount Steam Pipe Manifold, and a Front and Dump pipe to suit, Which was ceramically coated (Now thats worth a bit of $$$)
This came off a 10sec SR20 Silvia (Only one in WA) and Simon is such a good bloke and it saves me about $1000 in buying this off him, also its good to do things right, and so Stainless was out the door and Steam Pipe was in!!
Then once the Manifold arrived, I went back to Per4manz, but to my luck he was out of the 60-1 Turbos, So there was no time to waste, So I got Josh @ C-Red to order me in a 3540 Turbo (Which was my 2nd choice of turbo), So once that got ordered, It was a couple of days till it arrived, and when it did it was already to be fitted, I quickly got a couple of happy snaps of the manifold fitted, and it just sits so nicely in there.
So It was all installed, and this is the final prodcut, the turbo is just massive, espically since it is recommended for 2.5L and 3L 6-Cylinder Engines. Shaun from All Star Garage, Did the tune for me and he definatley did a fine job!! On 20psi, It made a very respectable 401.6 rwhp at only 20psi, The tune was very safe with an Air/Fuel Ratio of 11-1. Considering the turbo Effeciency is 21-26, its still got alot left in it..:) Here is a picture of the engine bay below (Please allow the phone picture to hurt your eyes, Will have a better one soon!)
So now, the engine bay is done, When I was on NissanSilvia.com I came accross this set of wheels, and was like shocked....! BRAND NEW Work Meisters Black, but this is the good bit, The sizes are staggered!
18 x 9 (offset -5) 225/40/18
19 x 10 (offset -5) 245/35/19
When i bought these they came over in there origional boxes, They are just Mint, and they fitted on the Car very well!! Though very stretched tyre (Which isnt a good thing, but need to change it soon!) The rear fit perfect with the amount of camber it has running, I do have some Rear Upper Camber arm to fit, which then I can re align it, but the 19s just seem to suit the wide body so well. The fronts stick about 15mm out from the guards, but that just gives it that HardCore Jap look!
Anyways So end this all off, Just left to go is a VG30dett Box which I picked up off Simmo aswell, which will be installed in the next couple of weeks, but Just below I could say is the final Product, and Hope you do enjoy it. :)
And So Project Sil80 Is complete.!
