I have been following this forum for just over 2 years now and this is my first post. I have got a bit of a different project in the fact I have repowered another make of car with the XR6 turbo engine. (It is a dedicated race care) If you think I should not post here I understand and just let me know.I have been building it for just over 2 years myself at home with the help of a couple of friends and last weekend was the first start up so very excited.I also have a black BA Turbo Falcon that is my wife's car, witch she allows me to drive occasionally.

mazdarally Member 15 Member For: 15y 6m 9d Gender: Male Location: New Zealand Posted 26/11/11 04:50 AM Author Share Posted 26/11/11 04:50 AM Hi, not 100% sure of what circuit racing I will do, but would really like to do an endurance event at some point. Have quite a few pics of the whole build so will upload a few more. No idea of power yet, and have no expectations, will be going to get tuned in a couple of weeks if all goes to plan as still have have a couple thing to finish on the car before 100% complete.

mazdarally Member 15 Member For: 15y 6m 9d Gender: Male Location: New Zealand Posted 26/11/11 05:04 AM Author Share Posted 26/11/11 05:04 AM Its in a R32 Nissan Skyline 4 door.I bought the engine first and then decided what to put it in, I picked up this automatic 4wd nissan rolling body and set to making it fit.The engine is a non turbo Ba engine, I went for the non turbo as the one in the car cost $300 from a wrecker and by the condition it is in has done far less than 100000km like new inside. I plan on building one capable of big power but that will come, to this engine I have only done valve springs. A friend of mine made the exhaust manifold, intake plenium, exhaust and all the nicely welded bits.Hase a 4'' stainless exhaust with 1 muffler on the back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(It is not 4wd anymore) just let me know if you want to see any car related photos.With the non turbo engine I am expecting to throw a rod out the side if pushed. It is running a Link Extreme ecu and I am still running the e throttle, currently I dont have a working pedal as the one I have has a faulty position sensor, I do have a new sensor but have not set it up yet. I does start with no throttle straight off the button though just have not been able to give it a rev.The fuel system1 x warlbro lift pump feeding surge tank2 x Bosch 044 feeding into 1 -10 line with a - 8 returnThey feed into a twin exit fuel filter to the factory modified fuel rail (end & centre feed) returning out the end and into the regulator. I would have liked to feed to the ends but there was just not the room.All fittings and line a Aeroquip pushlockI have overkilled the fuels system but I wanted to future proof it and I plan to run E85.
