Robbie Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 A big thank you to Matt and everyone at Sextons for the work carried out on my car over the Christmas period I've had the trac pump and associated gubbins removed. The battery relocated to the boot along with the washer bottle. A new Jun style plenum fitted,(ebay purchase £305 inc. postage), which needed some work on it to make the injectors and the gasket fit. Fitment of a 90mm throttle body and fabrication work on some inlet pipes. 70 US Dollars. A new throttle cable and bracket. The oil and tranny cooler moved a little. New HID's. (group buy) Lots of wiring mods including some tidying of existing wires. Fitment of a vacuum pipe to the intake pipe on the turbo, via the catch can. fitment of a T67.68 AR DBB tubby to replace my oil burner of an t67.81AR turbo. I'm off to GT ARt on tuesday to get it all running properly again, as all the changes have caused the fueling/ a/f's to be all wrong and the TPS voltages need to be rechecked etc etc ( if only Matt could tune V-pro's) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaMoCo Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Can you show me pics from the TB? Have the same parts and need some pics how to install the TB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just recently did my Motec and I have to say it has been the best map job that I have had done in a LONG time and also the cheapest. You should give him a bell mate it will save you quite a bit.

wkdtime Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Robbie, what does the T67 0.68 A/R boost like? How does the whole set up compare to a BPU supe on the road? Looking good Bud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share Posted January 7, 2007 Hi JaMoCo. Sorry but these are the only photos I've got for the moment. We manged to use old piping for the moment with an 80-90 mm adapter hose at the throttle body. The old washer bottle had to be ditched and one from a ford capri placed in the boot. Wiring and piping had to be made up for this. The fusebox was relocated but had to have a little piece removed at its base to make it fit+ brackets made up. The injector holes were too small so had to be enlarged a little and the gasket on the runners needed to be matched up too The throttle cable was from a civic as it needed to be longer. All the injector wires needed to be extended. I'm sure Mat will help out here as there were other complications too. All in all there is a lot of hidden work to get this up and running. If you include the cost of a new sealed batery+ wiring at fitmet into the build up ....£$$$$£££ keep adding up. If your pretty handy and have time, tools and somewhere to do the work . then the saving made from the plenum and throttle make the work worth while.... I think/hope:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaMoCo Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Have all in! http://hometown.aol.de/Msteinort/intakefertig.JPG Only need to know how to connect the Nissanparts with the original Toyota parts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muffleman Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 providing GTart are not anal about releasing the unlock code for your Fcon, They are, and as an authorised HKS dealer they can. I was in exactly the same position, had to decide whether to use gt-art forever or change ecu early on. I refuse to be held ransom and so now run AEM Looks good though Robbie, looking forward to seeing this at the pod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share Posted January 7, 2007 Hi Gamer. Thanks for the info. Its a difficult one for me this as I have had a good amount help from Gary in the past, and so will stay loyal for now. Cost is an issue for me so if it look like a lot of money I shall reconsider I Think I'm going to go this time and see it out but in the future it.....

Robbie Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share Posted January 7, 2007 Hi there.Wkdtime. I haven't really had a chance to test it properly yet. Also there are a lot of things that have been changed, all contributing to a different fee,l but the .68 dbb definitly hits positive boost much faster than my old t67 .81 setup. I'm running on the wastegate (.97bar) until its been tuned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanchan Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Looking good mate. Saw your car at Sextons when I was there just before Christmas - awesome looking car!! Hoping to get to Santa Pod sometime this year and seeing your car would be a bonus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Nice one Robbie, you've certainly got a great setup there...and the old times proved the car was mapped right...Gary will prolly only need 1 hr to sort it out...you've done the hard work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share Posted January 7, 2007 Cheers guys. I cant wait to try it at pod. I think its Feb before the track opens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Saw Robbie's car yesterday when I was there. The engine bay looks fantastic and the install is sublime. Good luck with the mapping - looking forward to the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
