Speed's boosted NA6

I'm pretty sure that's meant to replace the PCV on the intake side of the cam cover. (The PCV is no longer required with the way the Dann-can is plumbed)
That's where it's used with my setup with the prototype catch-can.

Well there you go!

Have seen quite a few on FB that still retain the PCV. I also remember my engineer advising that I must keep it but we never mentioned catch cans.

Anyways, I like my solution better.

If I ditch the PCV after engineering I can simply buy another 90 degree fitting and reduce the length of the hose.

Wow
Really close now. Reading through I am reminded of all the little things that I still need to do. I reckon I'm about 2 weeks behind you. Hope you are out on the road and legal v. soon.

The PCV is only used when you're drawing blowby directly into the inlet manifold. If you're using a catch can system which draws blowby only into the pre throttle intake there is no need for a 1 way valve because there is only ever vacuum in that area.

Thanks mate. It's always the little things that take time.
Hope you have yours up and running soon.

Thanks Dann. I guess I'm just being paranoid about the engineering process.
Can't wait to get past it

Well.. as of this morning I now have a blue slip!

Spent a lot of yesterday in the heat finishing things off.

Painted the compressor cover, wastegate actuator and bracket black, because stealth. Haha.
Not that I could really hide the turbo and plumbing hanging off the side of the engine.

Fitted a stainless steel thermostat plate as my previous effort was too thin and weeping coolant. This time I used gasket paper to seal it which is working well.

Fitted the timing cover with new bolts and also fitted a new OEM radiator that copies the auto version, having a 28mm core instead of 16mm. I also used new bolts for the fans, as mine were mismatched.



I also picked up my heat shield and air filter joiner from the welder with my 2 fittings and beaded ends.

I then popped into just jap for a black 90 degree 3 inch to 2.5 inch silicone reducer, again for stealth.

Was worried about not passing the blue slip, so secured an unregistered vehicle permit for today.

Then I plumbed in my BOV hose and cut a new length of hose from the catch can to post air filter. Man those lock in hoses really lock in!

Also painted the back of the air filter and a few hose clamps and the heat shield in what colour? Yep, black!

10pm last night I used a mig to weld in a securing nut for the heat shield. It only had to hold until I passed a blue slip.
Will be sure to make/have made a new and much neater solution in the near future.



This morning I took the licence plates off and the sparco out and dropped my stock seat back in.

My wife and I headed off to get a blue slip and I really enjoyed the way the car drove.
I imagine I'll be pretty chuffed once I install the mac valve and pay to have her tuned properly.

Feels great down low (even with just an auto tune) but definitely needs more boost once your going.

At the moment my little 5 is resting after her monumental outing.

Will secure a green slip today and visit the RMS on Monday for proper rego.

I'm already planning what I'll be doing next! Namely suspension, torsen and brakes.

Apologies for the mega post.
I'm just so excited to have finally managed to get to where I am

I wasn't happy with the air filter location and decided to move it back and alter the plumbing of the BOV hose at the same time.





Either Monday or Tuesday I'll pull the bilsteins and fit my yellowspeeds.

Will also be booking it in for a tune asap.

Hoping to actually put some kms on her this year

Looking really good Speed
If your looking to put some k's on, they have some brilliant new roads built between Coffs Harbour anf the Gold Coast, there's nothing better than a long run up the east coast

Will be in touch soon mate.....

Installed my yellowspeeds today.

Also used the jacking beam for the first time.

With the clubman bilsteins and 40mm low king springs, the car measured 130 mm at the rear and 125 mm at the front.
Measurements taken from the ground to the pinch welds.

I set the yellowspeeds at 125mm all round. After moving the car foward and back twice they settled exactly 5mm all round.
That's good to know for any future changes in ride height.

So the car now sits 120mm from the pinch welds.

Will be interesting to see how they handle in comparison to the billies.
They are certainly lighter, so that's a plus.
