sq_creations Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Awesome! So how do you like twins compared the s475? Any more build pictures of the turbo kit as it came together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColtGT4g63 Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 (edited) Well I need to spend some more time tuning with these turbos. Its pretty hard to compare the two set ups. Even though these turbos are pretty small, they are quite laggy. So I'm having a bit of trouble spooling them off the line. Once I set up a 2-step in the car i'll have a better idea of what the car can do at the track. Currently, I launch the car at 6k rpm side stepping the clutch and it takes off like crazy but doesn't start boosting yet. So the RPM ends up dropping back down to 2 - 2500 then it starts to build boost and take off again. So there is a lot of down time that I'm missing out on some MPH and E/T. I got the boost up to roughly 12 psi at the track and I feel it should be trapping a bit more then 99. (the Z trapped 102 MPH when it was N/A) I'm also trying to run the car on strictly pump gas. I want it to be a street car and not be dependent what so ever on race gas / E85. The Z with the S475 was extremely laggy as well. But with the auto trans and Tbrake, spooling it was not an issue. And it was on E85. So I was able to give it lots of timing and boost. I need to run in the 6's and trap over 105 mph in the 1/8th on pump gas before I'll be happy with the way the coupe performs. Here is a link to all the pics I took while doing the turbos. http://home.tiora.net/davidc/?path=Factory%20Five%2FDaytona%20Coupe%2FTurbo Edited October 16, 2012 by ColtGT4g63 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sq_creations Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Dig the a2w intercooler setup. Do you think its the a/r on the exhaust housing causing the lag? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColtGT4g63 Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 Dig the a2w intercooler setup. Do you think its the a/r on the exhaust housing causing the lag? Thanks! A/W is the only way I can fit any decent kind of intercooler on this car. More then likely the A/R is too big for the motor. I'm setting up a 2-step / anti lag system on the car right now and will be taking it back out to the track on Nov. 3rd. Should be an improvement over the last time.

sq_creations Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 So how is the toy doing? any updates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dans toy Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Very nice build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColtGT4g63 Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 Thanks! The Toy is doing great. I'm switching around the turbo setup quite a bit here, should have it back on the road in a few weeks. I'm ditching the twin set up and installing one big single. Forced performance was selling Journal bearing GT series HTA turbos for a good price so I purchased one of their GT4294HTA turbos. Should be a monster!!!! I'll let ya'll know how it goes.

Fuzzydicerule Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Nice work Dave, good to see how she's improved in a year, You going to be doing any Work on it in the near future? I'm looking into ffr kits and I kind of want to take a look at yours again to see what kind of modifications can be made for more Driver room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColtGT4g63 Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 You're welcome to check it out anytime you would like, working on it or not. What kits are you looking at? I should be done with the turbo install tomorrow, and will probably be driving it around next weekend a bunch. If I'm up in your area I can swing by your place. Speaking of new turbo.... Here's a sneak peak pic of the progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzydicerule Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 (edited) You planning on coming to the del mar/56 freeway area? If not I can swing by whenever you've got time, I would come by today but I am currently on the tail end of a drive from SLO and I don't think I'm gonna feel like going to el cajon when I get home, let alone much of anywhere. I'm off Tuesday and Wednesday if you're gonna be around either of those days as well As far as kits, I'd love a Type 65 But I have a suspicion ill end up with a roadster due to my size, but that's why I want to stare at your car again, I want to see if there's any room for frame/ aluminum mods to get my fat ass to fit any better, Edited March 24, 2013 by Fuzzydicerule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollum Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Fuzzy ~ There's also the new 818 which promises to be the most wookie friendly car they've ever designed. Also is overall a killer philosophy build imo. Might be the biggest hit ever in the kit car world on their hands, but time will tell.

Fuzzydicerule Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 im not a terrible fan of the way the 818 looks otherwise it would be a contender, that and i have an LS1 that needs a home and a fox body for donor parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sq_creations Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Its funny your going back to a single. I just switched over to twins. I'm in the process of building the kit now. I look forward to seeing more of your build progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColtGT4g63 Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 SQ, If i could have upgraded the twins easily I would have, but there just wasn't enough space around where the turbos sat to accommodate a physically larger turbo. what turbos are you going with? Hows the motor doing? I remember a while back to did a little damage to it, any updates on that thing? If you know of anyone interested in my old twin set up, let me know!

sq_creations Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 (edited) I'm going to be running dual precision mfs-6152e t4 .58ar. It should spool pretty quick if I did my homework right. I hope to make atleast the same power as before but from 3k to 6500. I made 577whp on just one sc6152 t3 in my integra. I hear the billet mfs wheel is better than the old cast sc wheel but not as good as the cea wheel. The 2cea's were out of my price range. The 6.0 is going back together now. I had gone to a stock 150k 5.3l junkyard engine last season and it took a lot of abuse. 770whp to be exact lol. But came to an end while crusing on the freeway. Having pulled it apart but its making a floping noise. i will pass the word around on your turbo's Edited March 26, 2013 by sq_creations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColtGT4g63 Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 Nice! Those should work out pretty nice. Got any pics of the new set up so far? What did the S480 spool at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sq_creations Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 the s480 hit around 5500 on the 6.0L and was worse on the 5.3L. This is as far as I have gotten so far: you can see more here: http://www.sq-creations.com/240z.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
