LOL he was hoping this was going to be quiet so wouldnt attract attention. this thing is going to roar its tits off

Fair whack of exhaust crackle on over run too with no resonators!

[Rob]

Something Al said on RSLC intrigued me.

needs just a little more TURBO


Shame it's not being opened up.

Would be nice to see what a NA EZ30 could do with lightweight internals, heavier valve springs and a 10000rpm limit.

Would need custom cams though, the NA cams will restrict it.

I think I may have just figured out what my conversion will be

What, turbo H6 ? I saw a post from either al or az, I think on ozlib, saying "got $30k"

Better of buying a H6 Liberty with the 6 speed and strapping on your turbo. If they think it'd blow out that much dorrah on a conversion. Papa had one about a year ago for a while, it had leather, sunroof, all the niceties, get a second hand one for around 30-40k and then just work it. But it all depends on what you're driving now.

And Tristan this looks good mate, glad it's working out so fast and easily for you.

it's got a 10" hotdog resonator on it... ??

i think i'll have the 3" stainless intake to thank for the roaring...

i'll just have to be easy on the throttle around the po po

NA EZ30 with lightweight internals and 10k rpm redline...

It doesn't have a resonator anymore, it was 2" ID so I binned it. The cat would do as much as it did without choking the top end. If a H6 turbo sounds good to anyone then I would definitely agree with Nik044. Get a Gen 4 3RB manual to start with. Everything is there already so the cost of building the car is substantially reduced. I recently quoted an Ozlib chap to do this job and it worked out around $22k for a built engine with rods, pistons, studs etc, GT35R, intercooler, exhaust, retune, injectors, new clutch etc. An 05 3RB can be had for $25k so you can have an under 5yo car with lazy 300kw atw, tough drivetrain, factory manners and comfort for $50k

[jzk25]

Black or blue silicone for the intake joiners Tristan?

[Soop]

You don't know Tristan too well do you Al? Pink.

[ams]

Pink.

+1.

It'll match his new seat covers.

[Soop]

And steering wheel cover.

[Rob]

And fuzzy handcuffs. wait wat

[Soop]

bahahahahahaha. Hurry up and pick it up Tristan.

[Blaeven]

black please... and i don't suppose you can give the intake a once over with that black heatproof paint for me could you? i wanna go for the (slightly) more stealth look

[jzk25]

Cool, you were getting black anyway.



Anyhoo, I wired up the V88 today. 67 wire loom, I didn't use that many of them though.
Took a full day to get it to a usable state. Started by making notes on what the inputs and outputs would be assigned to and whether the wires needed for them would remain in the car or go out to the engine bay. I seperated the wires that needed to stay inside the car. These were for things like ecu power, fan control, tacho, A/C request and relay and fuel pump relay control.



After getting a position reference for wiring length so the loom would reach inside the car to the ecu location I then chopped up the original engine loom and pulled out all the plug connectors that were needed. I then joined the V88 loom to the engine loom connectors.
This took about 6 hours. The EZ30R has 4 control solenoids for cam lift and timing, one crank and two cam position sensors, 6 injector and ignitors, a map sensor, tps, water temp, intake temp, idle control and cannister purge solenoid. It all adds up. There's also the power and ground network.
Here's the pieced together harness. It is one piece from the engine to the ecu. The ecu plugs are then routed out into the LH guard under the fuse box and up the guard into the LH A pillar wiring grommet and down to the std ecu location.



Once the harness was routed into the car(this required dash and fan box removal) I could then make a connector for the power supplies and control wires that go to the original loom.



Then I powered up the loom sans ecu and checked all the power supplies were present. All good. Plugged in the ecu and updated the firmware via the latest software. Went through and set the triggering and settings for sensors and input/outputs. Had a couple of q's about some settings so I rang Mark at Godzilla and he walked me through it over the phone. Half hour later and we are all sorted.
Hung up from Mark and looked at the time, 5.15pm. Fark, have to pick my 3yo up from Kindy 15 mins ago.

Shut the door and picked up my Son, the end.















'sif. Did a final check and craked the engine over again.(had already cranked it to get oil pressure earlier).
Gave a splutter or two. Upped the total injector ms from 10 to 15 and gave it another kick.
Fired up and idled nicely. Gave it a few revs. Nice.
Vipec/Link, good.

[Blaeven]

It lives?? IT LIVES!!! AWESOME!!! what's left Al? how'd it sound??

[jzk25]

What's left? Thermo fan install. Wiring tidy up and insulation. Intake pipe fabrication. Some tuning to get it drivable. It sounded good, not as loud as my car. The Vipec is great and Mark at Godzilla is a champ. Very impressed so far.

[Xon]

Awesome, what's that 3 or 4 days? Can't wait to see it in action!

[SUBARU]

Brilliant!
