What do they sting you for the rebuild down there?

And what turbo did you end up using

[mudski]

What do they sting you for the rebuild down there?
Complete with blue printing, head work, 12mm pump, injectors, turbo, water rail, their water pump, machining and labour and whatever else they did is 13k'ish. One of the large costs was the balancing and bluprinting. A necessary evil is suppose.
I jokingly had a go at him as they didnt even paint the exhaust manifold, and its got surface rust on it already. Ill take a can of paint in for them tomorrow as a hint. Lol.
As for the turbo ben im shit house with the numbers but he did mention a while back of a gtx3074 or sometihng like that. He was talking about so many things it just went over my head.

Woohoo! How long until you are driving do you reckon?
Well, if everything works, i.e loom works, starts and runs, i dont see theres a crap load to do. The longest bit would be removal of the anchor, cut and then reweld the new mounts. Pretty meuch everything else is either already in there, or sitting in boxes in the back of the car. All oem fits parts so.... Dunno. They know i need it run in and ready for the school holidays as we are driving up to the gold coast. So in my head im thinking if they go at it and dont stop until its done they could do it witihn a week. But my last thought on how long it would take to build the motor blew out by about 4 weeks. So who knows.

Fcuk thats a good price. Thats what mine came up at without turbo, pump, cooler etc and I spent 30-35 hours doing the porting myself

What turbo, what did they do to the head, do you know who accurate the balancing is?

[nissannewby]

Sounds good mudski you wont know yourself.

I hope they give you all the paperwork for the blue printing and balancing.

I know your excited as well mate but you really need to know where your money is going. Its also good knowledge to having knowing what is sitting under your bonnet.

Have to say quite jealous markie, should be a bloody good motor that will be reliable for a very long time. You've gone about it the right way getting everything done properly, price sounds pretty reasonable really. . .

He said they'll tune it to 140'ish, but when the motor is run in well they'll re tune it for more, around the 160 mark or more. I'm tipping I'll be happy with 140 though.

Probably, but its not all about peak power, torque is what I really want. For towing. I'm no expert at these motors, so we'll see. I don't think I will be disappointed though.

I can get it in the garage with the bigger tyres on, only just.

Had some good news with my sons battle with cancer yesterday, he had a blood test after 2 weeks of chemo treatment and the cancer markers are now less then 1 tenth of what they were before the treatment started so the chemo is doing its job.

Took my boy to the city today. First time for me in the CBD for many many years. Last time was 2011 when I got married at the registry. The time before that was circa 2005. I try and ignore the place like the plague...
Even though he loved it, it wasn't my cup of tea. I don't know how people survive in the hustle and bustle seriously. Give me bush any day.

He LOVED the train ride! I guess important thing was father & son time!Priceless!

Have you thought about replacing the airbox with a higher flow 4 inch air box? Personally I think it should be changed sooner rather than later, the gtx 71mm compressor moves an immence amount of air. A huge amount more than the zd airbox can flow. You'll find that the turbo is working so hard for its air through that airbox that it is wasting energy in order to get it. Having the 4 inch airbox and pipe from snorkle to turbo (remember the 3071 has a 4 in intake) will help. As a result you'll see an increase in engine responce. Note that your torque climbes quickly on that graph (good) to a high amount (even better) but drops nearly as quick as it climbs (not so good). A big contributor to that sharp drop off is the intake. Changing it will help to level it out and extend that torque band, there are many other factors too, but I wont go into them now as I'll let your boner wear off about this motor
This is by no means critisism of your setup. I have had a big garrett on a 42 for a few years now. You, a few days. There are alot of things that need to be done to compliment the few things they do really really well

No Idea sorry.

Took it for a run today. Dropped past AB's to pickup some stuff and show it off. Then went on to Marysville. Anyone who's driven out there knows the big long hill climb a few k's before you hit the town. Steep and long. Well I drove it like i was going downhill. I hit the bottom of the hill at around 65k's in 4th, at the top I was doing around 120 in 5th. Lol. The ZD would have been back to 3rd and revving its tits off at 50.
One thing I don't like about the large top mount cooler. Is the induction noise thats passing through the cooler, I can hear it through the firewall. When you've got your foot down you really hear it.
