The Dan

sounds like there is a rofl in your copter

That is correct, but only because your preload was set correctly. If this guy has a gate slightly open, disconnecting the vac line will not reveal the problem. In your case, the gates were clearly shut tight, disconnecting the vac lines will ensure they stay shut.

Disconnecting the gates is not going to do SFA. What did you hope to achieve by doing this and what happened when you did? You need to adjust them with correct pretension.

4-500 while cruising 700-850 under power 900 is getting critical...try to keep it under that

You need to put the bearing and carrier on the fork first, then install the gearbox. Once the gearbox is together, use the fork to push the bearing into the clip on the pressure plate and it will lock in.

most definitely. The valve can either be held open, causing a drop in compression in the cylinder or it can not open all the way, which disrupts air flow. The latter is less likely to cause the missfire though

Yes, the boot should be able to hold the oil you are going to blow out of the tank. But seriously, creating the vacuum in the engine means pressurising the res. tank. If you don't vent it properly, you will not only restrict flow into the tank from the pump but also cause the oil to try to escape the tank. I don't think there are any secrets left in dry sumps so just do what everyone else does.

Yeah, with turbos it's never really exact anyway. That's why they say 750+. Your 800hp guess is not inaccurate Generally with a T04Z running 26-28psi I have seen them touch on 500rwkw almost. 475rwkw on Gervase's RB26 with a 0.8 rear and 494rwkw on Michaels RB26 with a 1.0 rear both running about 26-28psi. You don't tend to make too much more than that on a Z though. With that 0.6 rear this guy is talking about, I reckon he might be able to force it to 380rwkw with very high boost but it is going to generate a lot of heat in the process and the turbo is going to suffer as a result.

They are 260cc injectors and I ran mine up to 207rwkw with a pressure reg on 45psi base rate. I have serious doubts about anyone making more than 210rwkw and being able to do it safely.

Nistune

Don't be silly! that would be too easy

As Ash said, the 0.60 rear will choke it too much. I would be surprised if it saw over 330awkw. As for spooling earlier due to being 6 cylinder, that is nonsense. An SR20 will spool that turbo exactly the same as your RB26 will. It has to do with exhaust pulses and the amount each cylinder displaces each stroke. Also, Ash - T04Z is only rated to 750+hp which is a very generous 800 engine hp if you were really lucky and pushing boost over 2 bar.

It won't be a twin plate noise if it's when he releases the clutch. Check the oil level in the gearbox

Where you would do this? I just told you the name of the place to get it from. You can pull the sump off and do all the rest of it if you like but oil tests tell you what has gone wrong, how bad it is and whether you need to buy bearings etc or just another oil pump. If the engine was at full load and the gear smashed (not cracked), then the bearings are likely to be stuffed also, if the crank has been damaged, you can't just throw new bearings on it and away you go. If it's an N1 pump then it's even more likely that the gear has smashed. I would go back and see your engine builder before you do anything else. If you start pulling shit apart, say goodbye to any warranty they might give you. If the collar wasn't install correctly, then you have other issues...like having to buy a new crank No a leaking seal will not cause 0 oil pressure and the pickup design is the same throughout all RB's so I doubt it would be that. It's not a pressure side anyway so there is minimal sealing needed by it in the first place.

smashed the oil pump gear by the sounds of it. Get an oil test done and you should get high PQ levels which would indicate ferrous material in the oil other than bearings. Obviously high levels of copper and lead will indicate bearing failure as a result of this. Wear Check Australia are the people to call for the test kits, cost about $35-40 and takes a few days to get the results. Don't dump the oil out of it until the test sample is taken

No

Yeah that goes in the bellhousing under the cluster shaft end bearing

No

Send it to DrDrift or anyone who can do Nistune. Start saving for turbos though, they won't last too long once you lean the fuel out

Jap wrecker engines never come with 3 month warranties up here. I normally get a installed and first check warranty from my importer if I do the work but if the customer installs engine himself, then it's no warranty. It doesn't sound like the place that sold you the engine is trying to get out of anything but just trying to make sure it's nothing you have done to it. You can imagine the amount of calls he would get like this when the fault is caused by the customer. Take it back for him to see and then persue it if he refuses to help.

They don't do it because it takes longer to set them up....that is all. And it's not / 28 for all cars either. All of our cars run ratios from 3.9 to 4.11 to 4.375 and a few others as well. It gives you an idea but still not 100%. If you ask your dyno op to hook it up vs rpm then they will. It will just cost you a little more.

*edit - your title was so long it didn't all show up What did you want to know about the lines? They are gearbox breathers. They terminate at the bracket And what has it all got to do with the R32 being "the easiest to work on"?

True and not true EFI up the road bolted a GT47R to the side of a stock internal CA a few weeks back. It did probably 100 dyno pulls at 36psi and a handful prior to that at 48psi. Ended up bending a rod at 516rwhp but they threw some more cast pistons in it and went to Al's dyno day the following day. Still going at 36psi. I've got video if anyone wants to see it
