Looking good!

 

[CMF_bosito]

awesome mate!!!!!!!!

 

[mik]

Yay! That's a tasty turbo!
Nice one dude, how much is the power gain?

Have fun with it

 

[CMF_White Knight]

Oh,looking good Seano!!Very neat job.
Love the blue colour.
100kws ??

 

[CMF_White Knight]

Seano rip the cam cover off and paint it blue also and do the wording in the same colour as the car.
I reckon that would look the ants pants.

 

[CMF_NotAnotherSSS]

No JDM motor now?

 

[CMF_Sean]

Not finished yet, hopefully only another week... Its been off the road far too long now as it is...

Dave, me thinks you should stick to not voiceing your opionion on colour scheme's

High flow cat, straight through muffler, no resonator.... MMM Can anyone say deeeelicious?

Sean

 

[CMF_underconstruction]

looks nice.

 

[CMF_White Knight]

No resonator?? Man it will sound like you are on the inside of a 200lt. drum. I ripped the resonator off Family Hack but after 100kph it was sooooo loud.
Sounds great cruising around the streets but !!
Okay I will shut up about colour schemes as we are 2 generations apart.I still reckon it would like sweet.

 

[CMF_NotAnotherSSS]

That blue is a big light.

Paint other parts of the engine bay that colour would be outright late 90's rice.

 

[CMF_NotAnotherSSS]

Everyone knows that POLISHING is the new blue. Go for gold with the autosol!

 

[CMF_Brendon]

ohhhhhh *does happy dance for seano*

 

[CMF_Sean]

Yeah look out Brendo, soon Mighty's going to be on the prowl..

Ok guys I'm hyped... Dropping it off tomorrow at the mechs!!! Booyeah

Seano

 

[CMF_evade]

looking good!

have you started it like that yet? lol

 

[CMF_Sean]

Nah not yet, waiting for it to be all finished before I turn the key... For obvious reasons

Seano

 

[cisco]

Very nice indeed Sean. Who did the work?

 

[CMF_Sean]

Neil from Fyshwick Exhaust, referred by Ben and was given an awesome deal!!!

Seano

 

[CMF_Sean]

Car was started today...

Some issues with the dizzy though, but an easy fix

Photo's coming soon

Sean

 

[CMF_evade]

heh dizzy what was wrong with it

 

[cisco]

Hurry up and drive it around to my place when its done!

 

[CMF_Sean]

I'm not sure aaron, can't remember

Cisco... Cruise on Wed/Thurs night?

Sean

BTW - There's been a few changes to the design...

Sean

 

[CMF_Sean]

Here's a pic of what the turbo looks like from the rocker cover's perspective

Hrrmmm

 

[CMF_Sean]

And another view... Couldn't hold the camera still because I was so excited so its a bit fuzzy...

Oh by the way.. I altered the ISO on my Sony DSC-P32 camera and it works trumps! The above pic is awesome compared to others I took... Damn Auto ISO

Ok... Can anyone spot something weird here

Sean

 

[cisco]

Hmm the cooler just sitting there or the weird battery thing ?

 

[CMF_Sean]

... *cough*

 

[CMF_Sean]

Dizzy problem is fixed

The RPM signal was switching between 900rpm and 7000rpm because one of the tooths on the disc was slightly smaller.

So, basically my mechanic modded an RB30 disc to fit (reground to size etc...) I'll get more info on this when I pick the car up

The car fires up sweet now.... instead of brapBRAPbrapBRAP its now rooooaaarrrrr

Only minor things to do like install guages... And intercooler piping!!!

Weeee

 

[CMF_White Knight]

Looking good Seano !!!
Wear an extra pair of undies when you drive it home for the first time but bet it will be a looooong drive home.
Gee getting dangerous driving around Canberra with all these forced Micras lurking.
You and Cisco will be able to hunt as a pack. You round em up and Cisco goes in for the kill.
FIRE IT UP !!!!

 

[CMF_Sean]

You're right about the second pair of undies...

I'm going to take it easy for the first few weeks, days, hours... oh who am I kidding? If it gives birth to a rod then its time for forgies and more debt

Wed looks to be the dyno day... Woooo!!! Gots me a camera too

Sean

 

[CMF_makes]

Wow, a very neat and professional looking installation. I look forward to hearing how it goes. "Mighty" will now be very very fast I am sure !.

 

[CMF_Gareth]

Looking good Sean. Very clean.

I like the colour of the manifold. I think I'll get mine painted black soon. It really looks cleaner, and I think better painted

 

[CMF_Sean]

I sat in it today and revved it

*beaming smile*

Wed hopefully is the day

Sean

 

[CMF_Gareth]

Ahh Bring on Wednesday.

 

[CMF_Tony]

Looks good mate i bet you can't wait!

Have any of you guys managed to turbocharge your car and have a front mount intercooler as well as aircon?

Can it be done?

Or are you all just POWER junkies now ?

 

[CMF_NotAnotherSSS]

It can be done - its just going to cost you a bit more and require a bit more thought into the placement and how the IC will be secured.

On the micra it may even require modification of the aircon pipes (which is possible, just can be expensive as custom aluminum pipeage is required, and of course the system will need to be regassed when you remove one of the pipes...)

 

[CMF_Sean]

Tomorrow is the day...

Mighty... RISE

 

[CMF_bosito]

Gooooooo Mighty!!!!!!!!!

 

[CMF_White Knight]

Eeeekkkkk ! clear the streets, Seano about to be let loose in his pumped up, bad mannered monster.This Micra now has attitude... bad attitude.
Rang the traffic police in Canberra and they are on full alert.
Very hard to mount front mounted intercooler plus A.C. plus radiator. You have the 3 stacked up behind each other. Believe me we looked at this very hard before going top mounted with Hack.

 

[CMF_NotAnotherSSS]

You didnt finish the story. It needs either a dragon or an ending.

Was the ending something along the lines of "a front mount on a k11 with factory aircon is just not finacially viable"?

Just curious. (and scared of the dragon)

 

[CMF_Sean]

Speaking of cops, I saw around 7 tonight on the way home

Seano

 

[CMF_Alex_B]

lol, how about the cops between the snowies and canberra the monday after the cmf meet, we counted 14 i think, heh, bugger all cops on the island

Alex

 

[CMF_underconstruction]

what boost are you running?

 

[CMF_Sean]

Weeee BOOST!!!

 

[CMF_Sean]

Made 2psi at 2,000rpm... and full boost was made at 3,000rpm...

At the moment the minimum boost the actuator will run is 14psi so I have to feather the throttle to not go over 0.5bar (for now )

Also... because of the overboost problem, couldn't really get a power reading... But it made 400nM and 90kw@w at around 3,000rpm on 7-8psi

Yummmm

Been boosting around all day!!

Mighty... Rise!

Seano

 

[cisco]

Yay congrats mate.

Must feel good.

Keen to hear a realistic power figure and see how she goes. I know you don't really believe the 90kw@wheels at just 3000rpm is accurate

Yay another boosted micra in the ACT. Yeehah!

 

[CMF_Tony]

400NM is that right?

**** thats amazing if it is right for a 1.3, Cisco how much torque does the Blue Monster produce?

 

[CMF_Sean]

Of course those figures are belated... But its what the screen showed so I'm quoting them!!!

Woo... been boosting for like... 6 hours now... legs hurt!!

Seano

 

[CMF_Sean]

OI!!! And you didn't even come out ya derro

Sean
