FTO AUSTRALIA

i still got it i was thinking about getting some copies done
would you be interested, if anyone else is please let me know

Yeah I would be interested. You are not interested in selling that one??

I also like the Nakaya Tune Side Skirts



Does anyone know where I can get this apart from Japan directly?

i believe those are actually Creative Sports sideskirts...

they are nakaya tune side skirt,s which creative sports copied for their kit

if you goto the creative sports web site they actually call them Nakaya Tune Side-Steps. I guess they made the front lip and side skirts for the Nakaya Tune FTOs. All I know is that I might end up ordering one straight from them. And I'll hopefully get the front lip off Dannyboy!

just posted some more photos at

the motor is running and just waiting for the new front bar to come back from the painters, will be dynoing on thursday and will let you know what it gets.

love your work buddy...!!

esp the blue silicon hoses - very neat indeed.
damn, i'm so tempted now... anybody interested in my MIVEC motor?

Once again your FTO look soooooooooooo awesome!!!! Mate can't wait till u get the dyno figure & the front bar pics!!! Any chance u taking it 2 other states 4 show??? Hmmmmmmm maybe Victoria..

expect to see more of it on a Zoom magazine soon...

well i am a bit disapointed we didnt get the dyno run finished
had problems with the ignitor and some of the wiring, managed to fix that but the time wasted on that meant we couldnt do the runs to set the boost control. so hopefully will finish it tomorrow, when we can start getting the turbo up to its efficeny range.

still managed 258.5 Hp at the front wheels at 12 Lb boost so 350 Hp at the front wheels should be no problem at all once we get the boost controller working.

but it has a bit of torque steer when you put your foot down,

damn... i thought you were only planning to run 14 pounds? are you sure that 2 extra pounds can give you an extra 100hp?

i was going to run it on the street at 14 lbs boost most of the time and store the 18lb boost program in the memory cartridge, but after driving it when it will only reach 12lb boost, i might reconsider the amount of boost i use for street driving, this thing is scary when the turbo kicks in and hits 12 lb boost, but we will be taking it up to 18 lb boost on the dyno and keeping the settings stored in the memory cartridge, The optimum operating efficency of the turbo is not reached untill you get to about 18Lb boost, i was only going to run low boost till i strengthened the drive line and did the internals on the engine.

hopefully will have a dyno chart in the photos on saturday

well, judging by what you said, i'm sure 12psi is gonna be one helluva handful drive esp. in the wet, let alone 14/18psi... (this is when you wished you had done the AWD conversion as well) haha..

i gotta come down to perth someday and have a ride in your beast!

well done some more work on the dyno today but still couldnt get it above 12.1 Lb boost.

will have to change the spring in the external waste gate next week and get a boost control valve from wolf.

still there is some good news we played with the tuning and managed to get 332.8 Hp at the front wheels at 12.1 boost at about 5500 rpm. we took the motor to 6300 rpm which is still over 1000 below its red line and over 1600 Lb torque at 5000 Rpm.

so not bad, still might get to 400 hopefully when we get the boost sorted out.

will update it again next week and will post the graph and data with the photos once i scan them

well they are posted, the printer had a problem when printing out the dyno graph seems it ran out of black ink or just didnt print the black text, still this wont be the final dyno run, just thought i would let everyone know how it is going.

it is driving beautiful at the moment and the engine purs like a kitten and you can feel the extra torque,

Try not to wrap it around a tree!

Hey Dannyboy!! U wouldn't happen 2 have a VideoCam would ya?? hehehhe cause if u do, i'm sure we all want 2 check out some clips of your car when its running, the sounds would make any one horny!

Cheers

i am very worried for you buddy...
would love to see the graph plot in action as the car is being run on the dyno though!

sorry dont have a video cam

but will be getting my A70 canon camera back soon then will take some short clips of it i am sure it will be on and off the dyno a few times over the next few months till it is completely finished.

so i will take some of it doing a power run once we fix the boost controller

about the graph plot.

when the dyno run is being done the information was shown as a digital read out.

then the graph plot is printed from the saved information.

he uses the digital read out as there are several other things being watched at the same time.

Torque
Hp
RPM
Fuel air ratio
Boost pressure
Speed

so far over the two days of dyno work nearly 10 hours has been spent tuning it.


And it is still not finished, but it is running nice even though there is no real control over the boost, it is great fun once you start getting use to it, put your foot down and when the boost kicks in the tyres start spinning scares the sh*t out people when you are doing 100 down the freeway and the wheels lite up next to them
