Forced induction
 

Well I’m finally have my first TT event this coming weekend. Not changing anything other then fuel (one ethanol R and when that runs out pump 85) and running 15w-50 motul 300v. There isn’t much for data out there with these set up’s. This will probably be my first and last event until fall, I’m not dealing with this Florida swamp heat. I’ll try to be as detailed as possible with the logging.

First test day tomorrow.

Where is the event?

The firm.

First track day wasn’t without its suprises. as expected when completely changing the entire set, I would have to relearn the characteristics of car. IAT’s were
Only 20-30 degree over ambient so that was good, however only mam anger to get 3 laps in before oil and coolant temps were to high, I stopped after oil temps were around 270 and coolant temps were around 244. I was expecting this to happen.
Next step is to try and duct the front end, run distilled water and open the front end up. Probably my
Last track of the summer, unless we have an oddly chill June.

How is the track, never been up there? Do you a page for your build? What TT kit do you have and what size oil cooler? I just finished my TT build, waiting to get tuned and then I want to to get out to a track, noticed you aren’t too far from me, I’m in Bradenton now.

Mainly in the forced induction section. It’s a short course, low risk, great way to test the cars set up. It’s a modified bp kit with a g series turbo. I run a 34 row
Oil cooler, but it needs to be upgraded. Is
Martin tuning th car? I’m in the Clearwater area.

Harry at ZTuner is tuning it. I’ve got the BP twin kit

So the cjm surge tank for the twin pumps works as advertised, didn’t experience any fuel starve the entire day.

Starting the process of Making templates for boxing the front end in. Spare bumper goes on after template is made. Will try and post updates and the process is slow going.

This is what I did with my setup plus cutting out all the plastic in the bumper. Helped a ton with coolant temps but having a proper front splitter helping to direct even more air through the bumper, made even more of a difference. Never had oil temps problem since added auxiliary fan to the oil cooler. And it’s only 25row but it’s in the fender well with Louvered liner.

You have some much more room!!!. Plan is to move that oil cooler and ps to the side.

What auxiliary fan are you running?

Yup no intake pipes in there definitely makes it easier but routing brake cooling hose was a tough.

I have 12inch spal fan with thermostatic temp switch. It turns on automatically at 185F

Ty sir

Starting to seal off the front end

Maybe this will work or maybe it won’t work. If it’s a bandaid hopefully it will give me a couple more laps before it starts to
Cook itself inside out

Worked on few more templates tonight

Ty

Top half is done and bumper cut outs looks pretty decent.

Going to get on track day in with the out together ducting to see how it works. Went to go visit Shawn Bassett’s shop, Getting an aero and ducting package sorted.

Well after a month and change on jack stands i finally went back and re did the ducting. Actually boxed the intercooler in. Bumper fitment took a little for it to fit perfectly. Next to task is to get the undertray back on a plug up the remaining low pressure areas and open up the top of the bumper some more

.

Rear diffuser kinda skeptical on, but it was free so why not install it. Waiting for other two sets to come back in stock.

You get it from MA? If so, that was mine.

I have that diffuser. I only ran it at one track day by itself before putting my wing on, but it helped with high speed stability. Talking to the guys at Verus, they said there was little room to optimize over nissan's stock design. the way they put the stock muffler already created clean ish air flow, but since most of us don't run stock exhaust it is a worthy upgrade.

Nope tire rack or tpm should have them.

Nope tire rack or tpm should have them.

Tires ordered. Just need to order pads, and get ready for next month. Time to see if sealing up the front end will help with coolant and oil temps. If so, Sebring in October

Who do you run with at Sebring, Chin? I’m getting my tune finalized this weekend then putting her back together. I hope to get out to Sebring in the next few months.

Yeah for now or until I get the car sorted out then it will be with nasa

If you’re in the novice group then you need to be on sign ups at 9pm sharp with your finger ready to hit register at 9:00:00. Next few months spots will go within 10 mins

Yes novice, missed out on October, gotta wait til November.

My friend tried to register at 9 PM when was the 13th spots filled

If the weather holds up, time
To test the front end ducts. Tires get mounted next week

Brake pads ordered, now time to mount and balance the tires

You should let "chen" be your guide on building your Z. :rofl2: I want to see how his turbo build will come out.

Lol. 200 mph

Ugg, I am tired of seeing all the failures myself.
