Thanks guys for your good words....
This is aerography that a very good friend of mine did...
the base its the same color as the car and then painted a racing flag on it with aerography...
its much more beutifull in reality than the pictures...
now i plan to brushe some things at the engine bay to make them look shiny
and some pipes are gonna be black mat to be as bad as it can be...
i want everything to look great now...
is there anyone to now what kind of cable i want to relocate the battery at the trank?
any suggestions will be helpfull
 
got my new throtlebody
i have made it bigger enough and done some honing inside it to have better flow from the incoming air.
Also took some special matterial for alluminium and closed all the original holes that had for the factory sensors that i dont use any more
PS:also done thiner the throtle helder so i can have as less as i can air resistance on it....
take a look

there is so much things to do...
unfortunatelly the greek crysis day by day make thing getting worse
so the project is still running but in a very slow way...
 
What have you done with the old manifold? New one looks great! And crisis or not atleast you still have the car, slow progress is better than nothing :)

i dont know yet the final cost....(today we decided to make it with external wastegate.....:D we will be a litle bit noisy...)
if you are interested i will give an ask to the guy is building it and tell you...

Yes im verk intrested :) im ringt nog converting my k10 with a CG10DE to get The fuelinjection and electronics sorted out, then I will swap for a CGA3D, I'm not looking for as high power as yours tho, maybe 150 at the wheels to begin with :) what turbo would fit that manifold and be the right size to get as much low end torque as possible?

this kind of manifold can take any turbo that has t25 flange thats a big range of turbo's
in order to get low end torque it's not only matter of the turbo but most off the engine you gonna build...
you need to make good research with cams valves etc
i think that a medium range turbo its going to work great in order to get the ammount of power you want with low pressure
i was using a modified
GT2554R​
and was really great for everyday car but it can produces as well good power at wheels...
 
Always loved that topic, I was so glad when you finally decided to keep it. New manifold is a beauty! Go Jim !

I think Saab aero turbos are t25?
Yeah I know, torque is more important in my build than peak power, I don't want to have to rev hard to get going hehe, it will be my everyday driver during summer and autumn, so drivability is key :) im thinking about ordering rods and pistons from fusion motorsport, what compression ratio should I aim for? I will use E85 fuel and a fuel pump for Volvo 940 turbo (brand new bosch of course) and that's good for at least 350hp on 95/98 octane.
 
And we are moving on....

Today the guys that they are building me the exhaust system completed the down pipe
once again a WONDERFULL JOB 100% handmade
Next to complete is the external wastegate that arrived yesterday from TiAL
and all the undernith pipe job we hope soon to be completed and to go on with the electrical...
enjoy

This post makes me highly aware that I know very little about turbochargers...

I'm no egghead. I'm only aware of the units in question as they frequently come up in discussion amongst Skyline owners. There's always a risk it's a pile of tripe lol ;)

Still, regardless of numbers, its good to see Jim getting the car back towards being alive again :)

Theese guys have done real GREAT WORK all of the pipes are soldered with tig and they look like charm...
we only have the external and we are moving on with the electrical...

PS : also some sneek peak too to my new adjustable panhrad rod from DAIYAMA
 
Panhard rod looks the business! Is it stainless? Exhaust looks sweet! What bore size? Glad this thing is progressing again!
Edit; its aluminium by the looks :)

the bore is 70mm to the pipes and 110mm at the end...
 
Thanks a lot guys
all of you for your good words...
Iam afraid once again the project has to stop (and it is allready stopped...) ...dispite all my efforts i cant spent any more money
the things here are getting much more difficult than any other year before.
I love this car so much but the only thing i can do is to give some money to take licance plates back...if i dont do that this year
the car has to be deleted and then destroyed...thats the great democratic law here...
the last months barelly i was able to live with my salary and now it is reduced once again....i get only 340 euro the month...there is no way to build the car
from the beggining with this money...i dont know even if i can live with them...
I hope something to change as soon as posible...but iam not optimistic any more...
Chears...
Jim....
