[binnzy]

Thought i'd bang up a quick pic of what i've been working on for the last couple of months.... getting tuned Saturday so hopefully all goes well ;o)

[Fat 4 RE]

your pic didn't work mate :popcorn:

Lol it was not showing up but now is ahahahaha

I Hope to drop in while it is on the dyno mate :)

[capella re]

God damn nathan, you've done such a good job and in a pretty short amount of time too. Who's doing the tune and what are you expecting from it? any headaches crop up or pretty smooth sailing?
If I had half the talent and patience some of you guys have, mine wouldn't be for sale in the next few weeks. well done mate.

[13bwankel]

I don't know how these guys do it either dude. I'm standing in the shed now scratching my head wondering where to start. Looks awsome dude. What turbo is that it looks massive!

[binnzy]

Cheers fella's! I'll put it down to heaps of preparation and planning as well as luck! Lol!
Smooth sailing so far Simon but well see if there's any gremlins on the dyno?? Clints tuning it so I think I've got the right man for the job. Gonna put 14 psi through it to start off with... that should be enough to scare the shit out of me lol!
The turbo's a Garrett T04z with a split pulse 1.00 rear so should be fairly responsive with the bridgy ;o) As you can probably tell I'm getting pretty excited!! Ha ha!!
Cheers again!!

[frenchy]

looks very neat.. you do all the work yourself?

interested to see what the 12a puts out..

[binnzy]

Yep mate all done in my shed- apart from the alloy welding on the intercooler pipes.. Bit out of my league to try welding 2.5mm thick ally lol! But yeah made my exhaust, fuel set-up, all the pipes and brackets etc even wired in the lt10s ;o)
Hope she puts out some decent numbers but I only want 14psi max to start off with, that should net high 200's- plenty for something so small and light lol!

[[ANG_RE]]

nice, you got my attention....

[binnzy]

;16452']nice, you got my attention....

Cheers mate! 12a's are boss ;o)

[jesse_RE]

Sick as nathan. looks wicked.

[miket]

Good stuff binnzy...looks great...:D

Michael..

[turbo323re]

Good work m8 looks killa

[binnzy]

So had a couple of gremlins pop up last Saturday...mainly due the crazy heat!
First up, Boiled the brake fluid on the dyno. fixed that now with motul rbf600 racing fluid.
Secondly, started putting some boost into it and blew the exhaust manifold gasket so I've changed that with a new metal one..... Should get some decent power out of it as it made 150rwkw on 5psi @7800rpm stay tuned there's more to come, cheers Binnzy ;o)

[13bwankel]

Like i said the other day when you came into work, mad power for that boost, and the turbo isn't anywhere near it's effiecent working range!

[binnzy]

It's so much fun to drive on 5psi can't imagine how it's gonna be with 15psi! Lol! P.s shoots &$)$ing huge flames at night!! Ha ha

[project2]

Bringing her out tomorrow night for the cruise binnzy?

[binnzy]

Nah mate ran the gauntlet last year.... Too stressful for me! Lol!!

[project2]

too many po-po for ya you mean? Its gonna be hot tonight anyway. How long til ya motor is run in? My Bridgey has just been delivered, So this'll be the last cruise for me this summer. Take it east man.

[Fat 4 RE]

Sweet, was it easy to fix the exhaust gasket?? or did you pull stuff apart to do it

The flames it was popping at idle with all the fuel in it was crazy and made lots of heat. is it still popping flames ??

When you getting it tuned again mate :popcorn2:

[binnzy]

Wasn't much to put the new gasket on Matt, just pulled the whole manifold off with the turbo and gate still attached... MTQ gave me a new v band clamp so that was a bonus (cos the old one's thread stripped)! Also sdr sent me a new beanie and a complimentary t-shirt cos I got a dodgy beanie that cooked itself...... Hmmmm
Yeah shoots big yellow flames now if ya get it working hard ;o)
Did ya get any cool footage on ya handycam?

[Fat 4 RE]

That's good and at least the guys replaced the faulty stuff at no charge for ya

Yeah some footage but had stuff all time to check it out, when i do i will give you a copy mate

[binnzy]

Ok any ideas why when I turn my car off after a run it belches a huge flame out the exhaust?? Leaky injector?? Kinda cool but not so cool if ya get what I mean ;o)

[binnzy]

Back on the rollers tomorrow! fingers crossed!!

[lethalrxe]

What kw numbers are you aiming for with this setup that will make you happy Nathan?

[binnzy]

What kw numbers are you aiming for with this setup that will make you happy Nathan?

I'm not really into numbers mate as every dyno's different.. I just want a nice snappy/angry/reliable set-up, but in saying that 250rwkws will be plenty... see how she goes? made 150rwkw on 5psi so should be achievable....:whip:

[project2]

Belching flames at shutdown will probably stop tomorrow binnzy. It'd be running rich as hell at the moment. It's just unburnt fuel burning when it sees oxygen at your tailpipe. That's all. Where you getting it tuned? It'll be a blast to be able to open her up at last!

[binnzy]

Hope the big shutdown flames go away Lol! and the big decel flames are here to stay! Ha ha! Clints tuning it again mate.... sure will be awesome to drive with a gut full of boost ;o)

[binnzy]

Made 240rwkw on 15psi but..... Suspected engine damage!!! Oh no, will have to wait and see? Motor will come back out soon I'll keep ya's posted. Bloody rota's lol!

[project2]

How did the engine fail? Build defect or tuning mishap? Seems a bit sudden!

[binnzy]

Seems to have lost a pulse on rotor 2... Definitely mechanical related, not tune...
Bummer ;o(

[carlitto]

Bloody rota's...unlucky mate

Allways dissapointing isnt it...
similar thing happened to mine,just lost one or developed one week pulse. Gay
it might just be me? (prob)
but when i pop a motor i want screems of pain from engine!
Thors hammers REshaping my housings,explosions of sparks and unobtanium bits being spread across the land like a shuttle explosion!
Not...i have to REbuild my engine because its sexually confused, it dosnt know when its supposed to suck,squeeze,bang or blow...lol

Good Luck with the next one mate!

[chodey]

hey mate is clint the guy who tuned your car in the pooraka area, just asking cause mine is gettind tuned on sat by a guy called clinton in that area, its getting organised through my mechanic and i dont know much about him just he has done a few rotors before.

[binnzy]

Clint is the man mate! It was purely mechanical! I wouldn't trust anyone else. You won't have any problems ;o)

[chodey]

ok cheers mate, good to hear, good luck with ya motor

[[ANG_RE]]

damn :( Rebuild, stronger and better than evahhhhh :D

[binnzy]

;16781']damn :( Rebuild, stronger and better than evahhhhh :D

Yeah mate worth the coin for clinton to tune the car buddy done my last few tunes and car is running strong as, just make sure all is good mechanically and all will be good

[chodey]

thanks mate motor should be tough, just rebuilt, studded and doweled so will be pretty upset if it lets go on a dyno.

[binnzy]

I'm back! Cars up and running again ;o) bought a lucky dip s5t this time, runs sweet! Comp test is around 120ish each rotor so she's healthy... Got the same set-up on it just had to mod a few things to get it happening.... Yeew!!!

[Fat 4 RE]

and the tune is good too bro :bigsmile: taken if for a drive in the wet yet??

[13bwankel]

Checked to see if the old one is reusable?

[binnzy]

and the tune is good too bro :bigsmile: taken if for a drive in the wet yet??

Ha ha! actually took it for a lap today drives nice ;o)

[binnzy]

Checked to see if the old one is reusable?

Yeah pulled it down rear rotor and housing is lunched! Broke the tip off an apex seal- dodgy porting! I'm bloody lucky it didn't lunch my turbo too!!
Gave up trying to find 12at bits so went the lucky dip 13b lol!

[mr rx4]

well done nath ur a animal lol let me know when tune is ill be down for this one

[Fat 4 RE]

well done nath ur a animal lol let me know when tune is ill be down for this one

beautiful.. looks alot nicer than your average 'lucky dip' 13bt

[jesse_RE]

:quagmire::whip:Fark yeah nathan, lookin the goods.

[gcoupeRE]

Looks amazing all cleaned up! Super jealous.

[gotorx7]

Sensational job there ... well done!

[Fat 4 RE]

engine looks good and with the compression reading you got from it, and if (big if ) you treat it right it will last too. cant wait to go cruising mate :D

Cheers mate! No big boost for this engine I just wanna enjoy it this time..;o) spewing I was one fortnight too late for the rx4 cruise :o(

[FLEX]

Pure perfection. Beautiful car, awesome upgrade. Spewing about the motor but atleast its up and running again. I abused an import motor on 10psi and it lasted 18 months on thrashing so hopefully you have some trouble free cruising ahead.

Cheers

[gcoupeRE]

How much prep work was involved to get the block looking that good?

[project2]

Good work binnzy, love your attention to detail. Is that paint crinkle black? Or matt/satin black? Quick turn around too.
So do ya know who did the porting? Guess it scratched the shit out of the end/intermediate plates too?
Ya should get the rotor/housing squirted and hang it in the shed for an ornament.

[binnzy]

A fair bit of cleaning involved mate... Gotta get all the old oil and grease of it (tape up the ports) then scourer pad/sand the old paint off so the new stuff sticks. Pull basically all the ancillaries off the motor and anything else you don't want painted then paint the silver first, wait for it to dry for a couple of days then mask up the silver and then go for it with the black then clear ;o):chewydancing:

Cheers mate ;o) the motors done in high gloss but the gloss only comes out once the motor has gotten hot as it cures the paint.... So now it's glossy as!
The old motor isn't too bad.. if I could find the parts I'd slap it back together but finding decent 12at parts is too hard now ;o( it's on the broken parts shelf with all the other bits collected over the years lol! Thinking of making a key ring out of the chipped apex seal ha ha!

Well it was definitely worth the effort, it's inspired me to start tidying!

[binnzy]

Banged in my new NOS crash pad today.... Lovin it! Lol!
http://img542.imageshack.us/img542/1793/newdash.jpg
Also turned down my spark plug socket so i can do my plugs up on the s5t......... if anyone needs one let me know, thinking of doing a batch of them ;o)

Pimp mate that was worth the money for sure 100% better

How long did it take you?? about 2-3hr total or 1-1.5hr in and out. You should know this car like the back of ya right hand now LOL

[binnzy]

Cheers mate! I've had the dash out a couple of times before so it only took about 40mins to rip the old one out and throw the new one in.... Frigging sharp under there though have to be careful, like a cheese grater!

[jesse_RE]

New dash pad looks sweet as. If you run the BUR9EQ plugs theres no need for a turned down socket :p Are you running the B9EGVs?

[binnzy]

Cheers mate ;o) I'm running b10egv trailing and b9egv leading.....

[binnzy]

Hey ya's been a bit quiet lately but finished my rear r31 brake up-grade tonight.
got rid of those crappy hilux drums finally! Used some pre-fabricated brackets so the conversion was pretty straight forward just had to make custom hand-brake cables and brake hard-lines and re drill discs.. no dramas! ;o) just hanging to try them out now but this weather is'nt kind ;o(

[Fat 4 RE]

pimp mate!!!!

i hope you thought about the fact you need movement on the calipers as the pads wear and i think you should and some flex hose in there

like this so you don't brake/crack a hard line if you get movement
http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/7966/dsc03952f.jpg (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/265/dsc03952f.jpg/)


got to catch up soon buddy

[binnzy]

hey bud the bloke at ABS said just an 's' shape in the line is fine as caliper movement is very minimal?? hope he's right!

[carlitto]

Hate to say it mate, but flex lines needed.
they look like Single piston calipers?.. which work on slide pin set up to provide even pressure on both pads
caliper movement will fatigue the solid line and it will crack...

[binnzy]

Thanks guys ;o) lucky I put a pic up! Otherwise I would have left it like that! I'll be changing them today grrrr!! No biggie though as I've got the flex lines for the calipers still... Lucky! Will get crack'n!! Wanna try them out lol!

[binnzy]

Ok take 2! Changed to flex lines now ;o) used some brake line brackets off some old struts and welded them to the diff so the lines are anchored. Also re-made the hard lines to suit.... much better!

[Fat 4 RE]

Much better mate and at least you know it won't be a issue later

next thing is braided lines when you get time and money, such a better feel under the foot me thinks and you should never have to replace them (unlike rubber one that expand under load and heat and rubber also tends to crack and get brittle) my lines were $50-70 each in the end From ABS Keswick

Now i should get the bracket on them like you did to secure them to the diff ( i did the same and had them for years just sitting in the shed :o )

[binnzy]

Cheers for the helpful knowledge mate it's greatly appreciated ;o) remember I have a mig so if ya need those brackets tacked on you know where I am....

[mr rx4]

im think a cruz nath in the following weekend ill bring the rx3 out for some tyres shredding
i might need ya hand with the brake lines on my hilux diff bro

[project2]

Good job there binnzy. You'll have to pop over for a beer soon and let me know the common pitfalls of hilux conversions. Bet it'd be easier the 2nd time round! Where'd ya get your caliper brackets and disc/calipers from?
The bridgy is almost in the 2 but the diff won't last long once it's run in.
Ben

[binnzy]

Cheers Benny! I was lucky to get the LSD hilux diff out of a donor rx4 that was t-boned :o( rod-tech did the shortening and set up of pinion angle/mounts etc so all I had to do was whack it in and get a custom tail-shaft made up by Hardy Spicer ;o)
Got the calipers from u-pull it and the brackets from Luke (Hirevn) will definitely have to catch up soon mate ;o)
