2 electronic waste gate control, engine runs at 1.1 to 1.3 bar controlled by motec.
3 modifications to suit bosch 803 injectors and motec fuel rail with 10 bar adjustable fuel pressure regulator and sensor to motec.
4 all fuel lines and oil lines stainless braid
5 flywheel machined with 8 slots for timing sensor
6 disy mods:- weld up waits in disy, cut off 3 pick up probes.(is now only used as tdc)1 probe only, took out rpm cut gizmo.
7 installed map sensor, air temp sensor, lamber sensor, flywheel timing sensor, fuel pressure sensor, relocated oil pressure sensor, water temp sensor plus the original.
8 motec controls sequential fuel injection, ignition system, boost control, thermo fans, air conditioner, nitrous oxide system, warning light, intercooler water spray.
engine mods:-
1 engine fully rebuilt 8.02.1 comp
2 forged ross racing pistons 1mm oversize, piston rings made slightly thicker
3 ported head with stainless steel valves.
4 inlet manufold, intercooler,turbo pipe,exhaust manufold, all ported and polished.
5 gtr head gasket
6 larger sump installed with external electric oil pump, pumping oil from turbo into sump(later another oil cooler is getting added), this fixs the oil pressure problem when going fast around bends, also help in cooling, also eliminates the oil blow through problem though oil seals in turbo.
7 flywheel machined for the timing sensor, also lightweight clutch installed with 2.6 tonne clamp.
8 all rods and pistons waited by the gram
9 all water pipes were remade to stainless pipe.
10 aluminium brackets were made also for holding parts in engine bay.
11 cold air induction through front vent was made with k&n air cleaner.
12 heat shielding around oil line to turbo
13 turbo fully rebuilt(carrera gt type)
14 engine dynoed at 140hp at wheels???? and about 850 lb torque it is more since i found out the boost was a bit low and the dyno was reading low for some reason, a bloke in melbourne who has neally done the same as i have got 200hp at wheels, i think mine is about that as well. ill re the dyno later once a few adjustments are made.

Hi I'm an aussie too & I previously owned a Carrera GT replica someone else built & regret selling it.Luckily I took molds of all the pannels & am about to build two,one for me & one for my son. I have the first 931 & am looking for another. My last one had Symmonds wheels,8" rear 7" front,I think, but I don't understand how wheel offset is measured. Anyone wanting the panels "down under" should contact me. I regularly work in glass or in carbonfibre. Meantime can you guys tell me what wheel options I have for 5 stud.
