The Photo called OCD is the turbo Oil Return to the Engine. It is a Full AN10 Stainless line that drops 90 Degrees into a 45 Degree fitting into the windage tray. Rather than putting this into the oil pan below the oil line, this return is placed deliberately above the oil level so it will function properly. If I were to be asked to choose one picture that describes the level of detail that I put into my build, it is this picture.

UPDATE: I managed to get the AN16 Fittings on to the Braided lines.

Sorry for the **** picture, and yes there is a blanking plate missing where the hose meets the head. It is being welded Thursday..

No the hose will not touch the intake, It's a bad angle..

I really wish i had the time and money to be as detailed as you are. It shows in your work how much you care about your build.

Thanks,

I need it to be reliable but I also want it to be a statement.


It's too fun to park next to some guy at a night car meet who has a nice crowd around his car and completely dominate him, just by opening the hood.

My car is like one of those posters with Waldo. you can stare at it for a long time and still see new stuff..

amen haha its awesome. any yes i love when people build their stuff right. just the little things always stand out like using AN fittings. that **** is expensive i probly have at least $400 between fittings and hose under my hoos but it completes the look for sure.

looks great man keep up the good work

The Cooling System at 100%.

Checking For Leaks

Making sure that the system will not create cavitation in the coolant.

Clutch working and Bled. Had a chance to see the new shift gates for the first time. 1,3,4,5 are short... 2nd (Pull Gear) is actually really long. It is expected as the 2nd gear set is twice as wide as normal to handle anything that can be thrown at it. The long pull is to allow the gear to fully mesh. Continuing with "Operation waste a sunny day in the garage..."

Nice Build Brian. Kitteh approves.

All the major things are sorted out.

One minor thing was that the new alternator was slightly out of alignment, causing the belt to squeal. It is impossible to move the alternator so the next easy way to get the belt to lign up is to move it on the crank pulley.

There is a natural hump in the pulley that was machined down.

I now have a 5 groove belt that is 27.5" long so I can leave it loose, but still get full grip on the alternator.

Brian MP5T

So the belt had to be moved two grooves over.. No Squeak, 14.5v awesome... Now the car is enjoyable to drive... Time to start tuning and putting on some miles..

You can clearly see that the belt is now able to ride in the middle where there used to be a hump.
I have ordered a 5 and 6 Groove belt, the plan is that I will be able to leave it quite slack compared to stock and minimize the loss to friction, plus it will be better on the main bearings..

So for the last years I have been using the tachometer to judge my speed. I had removed the stock ECU completely from the car which meant that needed to remove the stock instrumentation.

The IQ3 dash that I have can display anything that is connected to the Haltech standalone.

I have installed a hall effect sensor on the left rear hub, with a plan to install two more on the front output (Each Side of the diff)

There is a magnet that passes by the sensor, and when it is calibrated, the ECU will log and display the speed.

wow man, that's an amazing car! good work. any idea what kinda numbers you are putting down?

Brian MP5T

Last night I used 16 PSI on a GT30 for the first time.

I can only calculate until I get to the Dyno next month.

Based on the Fuel Delivered, The AFR and the RPM you can estimate.

At 16 PSI at 5800 RPM (My Peak TQ) the engine is running 410 BHP, Corrected through Drivetrain Losses of a generous 10% but brought back from BHP would be around 400WHP (Front)

I have released boost to 18 PSI today for testing..
