Looks the good Chris.

After some experimentation on the weekend, the best bet is to run an intercooler PLUS water injection. Reason for this is - the water injection sytstems are trigered by boost, therefore when cruising at low boost or partial throttle, the water injection is either not on, or on a lower duty cycle. This allows temps to rise in this state. On the dyno it looked like it would work extremely well without the intercooler, this was due to all power runs being at full throttle, therefore the water was on at all times - preventing heat soak.

Water injection allows you to tune more aggressively in the top end and make more power, while looking after the engine. After looking at the logging from the race car last weekend, I am planning on refitting a small intercooler and still run the water injection.

Mark.

Nice one chris I want to see 300+atw once the cams are fitted and all tuned
Your car sure looks sweet all back together nice colour and attention to detail.
Ive been Ebaying some engine parts myself lately for something new next year just a little bit at a time so the minister of finances dos'nt go off her head ROFL. Im aiming for around the 300rwhp with 18-20psi and still be drivable!! thats going to be the challange drivability.

This is looking awesome as ever! This is exactly what i came back expecting from you. I always tell my mates and people I meet with Datsuns to check out your Dat Chris.
It's work like this that make me want to get another Datto and take time doing what you're doing. 25 psi? SICK! Seems we have plans on playing on the same page. I'm looking at playing in the 20-25 pound range.. This Datsun is AWESOME! Love it.

Be good to see it in real life!

Trying to sort out the problem with the headlights being to close together. . .

Plumbing is gunna be tight. Headlight buckets are pretty close. May have to take a wedge out of the tanks to angle the outlets back.

I dunno if it is the right thing to do lag wise.
