Don't give up on the standard brakes just yet; I've run them since day one and have done sprints at Sandown & Phillip Island as well as Targa Rookie & Targa High Country.
Oldies advice re. better padsl braided lines & fluid is spot on, but first time out it can feel really scary when you feel that fade sensation.
I do a lot of left-foot braking, especially doing the Targa events, and I have never lost confidence in what the brakes can handle.
Keep up the good work, and the more time you spend with your bum in the seat the better you'll feel.

What discs do you use?

Pete

Still the original discs on the car, i have never replaced them

speed off the streets day or private track day?

Thrash

It was a speed off the street day.

Pull the car apart today, was going to pull the injector out to clean them and the dump pipe off to wrap it, i took some photo's of the exhaust manifold HKS split pulse





I took photo's of the inlet manifold while i had it off









While i was pulling it apart i found the compressor wheel on the turbo has cracked, off to mark next week

If this was directed at me; just slotted ones on the front std on the rear.

Will you replace the compressor wheel with one of those 20G covers that Gtpumps have to offer or do you have something else in mind?
Weld a new opening as the original is too thin?

Also, the detail & custom machine work on the inlet is pretty cool! :)

Edit: I thought the compressor housing opening had cracked with the sleeve over top. But no, the compressor wheel itself.
I hope the fragments have not caused damage internally!
So, big 16G/20G wheel required which I trust will require a full balance and rebuild!
I suppose then you may decide to go for one of those 20G compressor housings without having to worry about crushing the opening...??

:drool:

Got some questions....

Have you got any more details and pics on the airbox mod?
That 4 inch hole on the inner guard isn't round, did you reshape it at all?
Is there anything else feeding into the guard?

What pod filter did you use and how did you mount it, did you gut the airbox internals?

Enthuzed

i basically removed the existing plate and the rubber from the inner guard, i removed the straight section of the cold air intake in the air filter box and cut the side of the air box, i rolled some sheet steel, profiled it with a flange to attach it to the air box, i made it long enough to go through the hole in the inner guard.
the inside of the air filter cover is round, go down to your exhaust shop and get a few inches of 4 inch exhaust pipe, either weld or rivet the pipe into the cover, just use a 4 inch pod filter, i just bought one from supercheap

hello john, I'm in the heart of complety overhauling my engine bay an have many hurdles to get over, I was looking at the pic's an couldn't see a dissy. As I'm having issues with mine I was wondering what you did?

you can go haltech and get a pulley trigger system and run crank angle sensor...............i use to run one on my g54b......plus better way to get the timmimg of the crank then the camshaft it runs half the speed oif the crank

Rassy

I am running missing tooth crank pickup with my haltech, i used the balance shaft pulley and removed 2 teeth, works well

John

This operation has been in my mind for some time...
What sensor do you use?
Where is it mounted?
How many degrees BTDC?
Pics? Pleeeeease!?!? :beer

Fugazi

No Pics, not pulling the front cover off at the moment.
the sensor, i made up a carrier to mount on the bolt where the balance shaft bearing mounts, i used an allegro ATS685LSH zero speed hall effect transducer, i made a basic amplifier circuit and sealed it with some potting mix.
i have the first tooth after the 2 missing teeth about 90 degrees before TDC.
I will be building another few shortly for the track car i am building up. i will take some pic's then
