Can has previously made 616hp @‌24psi on pump fuel. This was pre fuel system upgrade with Nistune. Car has gone 11.3 @‌ 120something, when it had about 500rwhp.

 

Current work in progress is setting up the crank trigger system. I have the crank sensor mounted, and I have just modified the CAS for the cam pickup last night (aluminium tape over the optical slots). Still haven't decided exactly how to attack the cam sync, but figured this is a good, cheap start.

 

I had previously got all the wiring in order for an adaptronic ECU, but since sold that (never used) in favour of the link. So I have to have another look at all the wiring for all the extra sensors again. Also have a fancy Specialty Z sump to go in at some stage when I could be assed.

 

Then it should be nearly ready for start up again.

How are you getting on with your G4+ and Trigger wheel install ?

[MagicMike]

I had to source a donor ecu to use for the case. Luckily a mate recently sold his GTR as a shell so I got his Mine's ecu cheap enough to bin its guts. Only last night installed the link and XS looms.

Ross balancer and Cherry sensor are installed. I pretty much just have to finish the wiring for all the other inputs and then hopefully try and fire it up (or at least be able to crank it and check the triggers).

Bit of an update...

We had Zedfest #8 over the Easter weekend here, which was a 1200km round trip. I had a massive push to get cars running and in a state to make the trip. Both (my and my wife's) zeds ran great all weekend, and we got a couple of trophies between us. Cara won In Car Entertainment and People's Choice, and I won the innovation award for my PCLink dash setup mostly.

Progress update wise, I have redone my fuel setup, no surge tank anymore, no fuelab products at all anymore. 2 x 485 pumps in tank controlled by a SSR (and ecu) and a FPR2000 reg.

Have the triggering sussed out now, with the NZ Wiring cam sync wheel/GT101 combo on the cam and the cherry on the crank. Established that there is a big difference between the stability of ignition timing going from rising to falling edges on both sensors. Not sure why I had them on rising edge originally. Anyway, sorted now.
