Mr. G. Brettin's Slow Motion Leg Hump

gbrettin

I'm officially drowning in too much stuff with work and homelife, much of it I will not go into on a public forum. I've officially hired Auto Dynamix to work on my wiring of my car so that I can make headway while I deal with work and homelife urgent matters. I'm probably not going to be posting anything until after Aug 15th, same for IG.

Yay.... adulting...

Rusty

Take care of home business first. That what counts.

Mr&Mrs

I love my occasional visits and awesome people still doing awesome builds. The Z community rules!

I stopped up to the shop yesterday for a few and the car was off the hoist getting wiring worked out. A couple wires were re routed here and there, connectors added, wires extended, trigger wires going to the ECU, and a few other items that I'm sure I forgot. All the wiring is getting labeled and documented. You know... professional stuff. I think for the most part all the hard cable monkey work was completed by me. All the heavy cable was pulled to the right area, ECU was pulled through and plugged in, a lot of OE wiring was thinned out, and I had a lot of extended connectors.

*edit* - The car has sooooooo much dirt on it, you can not see through the rear window. It's nuts. For the record, I was pretty insane about keeping my car washed and waxed prior. Madwi offered to help me do a quick detail on my car... I will take him up on that offer. lol

While I was at the shop, Dave mentioned to me that it would be a good time to get the MAC valves ordered and wired. The MAC valves are used with CO2 to control the waste gates, well... the ECU will tell how much dome pressure to add specifically which is why he wants to wire it. SO, I immediately purchased the Motion Raceworks dual MAC valve setup:

If you really want to know what the MAC valve setup is all about then check out this video. I don't really see people using it on the forums or FB. My quick explanation above (adding dome pressure) is basically like using an infinite spring rate inside your waste gates. My springs inside my waste gates are 6lb springs so minimally my car will make 6ish lbs of boost (maybe some boost creep?). THEN if I have CO2 working on my car I can pin it shut and run 35-40lbs (maybe not 40lbs because that would be like 2,000hp for 3-4 seconds until the rods fly to heaven)

I was given a teaser pic and told that my car is almost done. Teaser pic or not, I know exactly where the ECU and TCM is mounted, it's right under the passenger side dash below the HVAC. The mounting looks super clean and the wires don't appear to be going crazy.

Dave (shop owner) thinks that I will be on the road soon. Overall, not much of an update other than my excitement bleeding through.

*edit* I'm on the hunt for a cubby compartment while my other cubby is stuck in a mold. I have feelers out on the Internet and one dude on Reddit said he would send me the cubby for about 50 bucks (pretty much my top dollar). All the other cubby units on ebay have been 80-200 dollars, which I'm sure they are just flying off the shelves because EVERYONE needs them. A little salty about the ebay thing because I offered 55 dollars to them and snubbed me. Might have been a message from me telling them to E.A.D. if they think they are going to get 75 (their counter offer). ohhhh well.

I stopped up to the shop during lunch and broke out my GoPro. There has been some serious improvements. My Rife temp/pressure sensor was removed, apparently the Motion Raceworks flex fuel sensor can do that, and replaced with Low Dollar Motorsports pressure sensor that was wired into my MS3 wiring harness (pretty dang trick). CJM Fuel pumps have been wired and the extra pump will be triggered by the ECU during boost. The wiring for the fuel stuff has been ran back through the OEM cover. Transmission has been wired for trans brake and neutral safety. Lo Jack (a variant) wired into the car... I'm not telling anyone where that is for obvious reasons. There's a ton of stuff that has been routed and cleaned up. Anyway, 1min video of a walk around.

Been a bit since I updated here with pictures. I'm slightly behind. As you saw in the past two videos... or maybe you didn't, because you wanted to save yourself from hearing me (I get it). The FUCA's were replaced with SPL thanks to Andrew / DEpoint50(sp?). I gacked the bolts holding FUCA front arm, I was being lazy trying to do it with a wrench and not the proper socket. Shame on me. I picked up new bolts... two bolts and nuts literally cost 10 bucks from the hardware store.

The other video showed the car running and there were issues after. The coolant system had air, oil leak under the pan returned (AN seat issue), oil drips on the turbo drain orb (loose), scavenger pump oil drip on the lower side where the threaded pipe goes in (needs more teflon tape /tighter), every single line after the ID750 filter leaked (including the crimped line), primary fuel pump hose fell off in tank (secondary pump triggered in video). New build pains... ALL the leaking fuel lines were taken out and will be replaced with XRP crimped lines. I don't like the idea of fuel leaks at all.

I had a chat with my buddy Justin Good, owner of Redline Design, about printing the goat logo... Well, he did and they came out amazing! I'm going to put that on my rear quarter. I'll probably tack a small one on my race helmet on the back possible.

My other fender is finally on the car! and both fenders are secured with bolts. That was a requirement prior to doing the front dump exhaust. My paint/body buddy, same owner as the white TT G8, cut out 3" holes which were the ID of the trim rings. Well, turns out you don't want the same size inside diameter of the pipe... both are 3". The holes were left on the bumper so that I could guide the pipes out the hole to the exact same location on passenger and driver's side.

Lining out the drivers side exhaust was pretty easy (still took time). The piping that I mocked up to go out the bumper happened to be perfect length and almost the exact angle I needed. All I had to do was massage the angle on the long pipe, clock the 90 pie slightly different and cap the out side with a pie.

I wish the passenger side was as easy... because that was a dirty hooker. The orientation of the pie was clocked back coming off the turbo to accommodate more air gap (driver side has more now too). The exit angle was way off after clocking (and before clocking). I used what pies I had to change the angle but tried to keep it somewhat limited. Reason I used the pies was because I could change how the pies oriented which changed the pipe angle multiple ways while keeping maximum space away from the tire. The pies also had a perfect flat surface. I only had my Metabo to cut pipe. Using the angle grinder is time consuming, dirty, and it runs a risk of personal injury (I'm not joking. It crosses my mind every time I use it cutting pipe). After 12 HOURS! the passenger side was completed. I was hot, tired, and angry at the end of this one. The v-band was on and off no less than 30 separate times. Every time a section was added it was harder to clamp on. Yeah... long day.

Yesterday I worked on making a small bracket for my bumper. It's going to tie into my A2W. The past couple days kicked my butt getting my exhaust ready for TIG and I wasn't able to finish. It sounds simple but there are a few small hurdles.

Jankazz weld jobs (in tags)... eat a d1ck. lol. That weld is beast for that little plate and rod.

With that said, I threw it out. I wasn't happy with it. No reason for plate steal to hold the bumper. I cut up a thin gauge of steal and hit it with a dimple die. Lighter and will get the job done.

Replaced the last Fragola with a 45 vibrant. That should do the trick. The fitting was pretty damn easy to put on because of the line was filled with break in oil, all the way to the top of the line. I had to be careful not to spill! lol. I used hose cutters to get the old line off and to make sure that the line was nice and flush.

Wow... the tag cloud is wild... lmao!
