Now I'm thinking I should have waited for my tax return and gone 6 speed.
I knew I shouldn't have read this thread lol. Are you going to do a brake upgrade in the near future?

Thanks guys.
Nah no plans to upgrade the brakes. Its an AU2 so the brakes are pretty good already. I dont drive very hard so dont need them. Depending on how the J3 goes I might put a new computer in it or put it on gas but then Ill leave it alone until I do a proper motor. |

hey Dan, great stuff so far with your build coming along nicely. Will you be using a 2 bar map sensor?

Yeah Ill put the 2 bar sensor back in.
Got the engine in today. Going to tackle the gearbox tomorrow. |

hey Dan the engine bay is looking good I saw a pic on boosted. With the 2 bar map sensor, are you running an aftermarket ecu or having the factory ecu flashed through an SCT?

Ill be using a J3 chip from TIperformance.
I had a flash tuner before but didnt like how I couldnt adjust the tune myself. I have copied that supercharged tune over to the J3 chip and will tune it myself to suit the new setup. If I can get 13-14psi out of it Ill be happy. Anymore than that and Ill likely get an aftermarket computer. Probably a microtech or a Wolf because there are a few tuners around where I live that use them. |

Are J3 chips legal, if one were trying to obtain a legitimate engineers certificate?

Until then, unless you have a chip by someone who has had it certified, it's not "legal". There have been ppl who have managed to get turbo engines with big cams & aftermarket ecu's to pass NSW emissions testing, i was reading up about it on a skyline (iirc) Cheers ToranaGuy

Didnt get much done this weekend, I worked on the bike and cleaned the shed yesterday and went riding today.
I only got the exhaust manifold bolted up and the pedal box in. I need to remove the clutch pedal now and drill a hole for the clutch res line. Here's the latest pic of my engine bay - yes I know the rocker and plenum dont match.  Ill get them both ceramic coated once the car is running. Here is what I had to cut to clear the shifter on the T56 for anyone interested. Got the box and engine in last weekend.

Got some more stuff done today.
Built a jaycar frequency switch to control the reverse lockout switch on the T56. Fitted up the cooler, ran one of the clutch lines and covered up my T56 hole.

Just read your WHOLE build thread and wow, what a car! Turbo+six speed should be awesome!
Keep up the good work mate. Thanks

Thanks mate. Its nothing special though. It will really need stronger rods and pistons before it shines.
Ive got it running now. Just need to finish off the dump pipe but I might get a shop to do it.
