any chance that you can do CFD simulations?

hahaha...anytime you like on a side note, do you now anywehre local, as in Oz, which will have around 4 or more vh's lying around? looks like there will be some serious amount of vh turbo goodness happening around Wollongong way

thanks Ben. Duncan - this is a generic length for the rb30/vl engine bay but they can be all customised which is usually dictated by a couple of factors, mainly cam duration and peak torque range.

thanks....luckily it doesn't cramp up because I don't know what I wil do. I love fabricating my own bits 'n pieces and then welding it. There is something about the custom/raw look that I have always liked and wanted spread out all over my car. One thing I have to learn how to do better it complete those long runs on the plenum all at once, and that's got to do with the way I move my arm, but that will come with more practice.

I have had a bad experience with 3 different ones over the past year or so, so I went with a transformer machine, which considering how long they have been around for, I hope this one lasts. Thats not to say inverter ones are good, but they seem more prone to having problems. Haven't had a problem yet with this one and I have used it every weekend for the past couple of months.

yeah I used to. I recently bought it in house just cause I like to do everything myself. That and some new welding techniques I have been trying seem to be working OK.

thanks again..... Lincoln Precision Tig 225, not a inverter style machine.

thanks Dave....I'm sure you have heard it all before, but it just takes practice and I am by no means perfect, far from it actually.

Just something to keep an updated of my weekend work....mostly Nissan stuff. This is for a RB30ET Coming up CA18 and ITB SR16VE Ariel

im in wollongong. i have a spare 33 which i have already done some testing with, but unfortunately the shop i done it with is no longer around and since a flow bench is like a dyno, i would prefer to do a comparison on the bench. its on my to do list

KLR33 - i will do some flow testing of it. the entry, as long as they are all cut flush at the front, will generally give the same results, give or take a few that is usually caused by excessive timing given the engines running condition, my brothers sigma used to do the same thing. luckily with a fuel injected car, we are able to control a lot of it under all different conditions

both afr and egt's will both be directly reflective affected of the temparature in the cylinder, otherwise you wont have the detonation does anyone have one of these floating cut and shut plenums about....i am curios to test one? come to think of it, i have a complete spare r33 inlet, i will make one and and test it by the end of the year...i have plenty on at the moment so it will have to take a back seat for the time being

just a quick note, air pressure may be the same by air flow is completely different. if you go on some of the theory some have mentioned here, a straight pipe will flow the same as a pipe with a 90deg bend and that is simply not the case. the cut and shut plenum would have nothing to do with cylinder 6 leaning out. quite the opposite, if you were to flow test a cut and shut plenum, i could almost guarantee that the last cylinder is one of the lowest if not the lowest flowing cylinder of them all, and therefore a richer mixture. this would have more to do with the turbulence being experienced at the back of the plenum. i remember reading somewhere (not my words) that the leaning out of cylinders has more to do with coolant flow and coolant temperatures at the rear of the engine more than anything else. i recently purchased an egt kit which is currently on a customers car for some logging and once i get it back, i will be looking for another car to do some logging on and compare not only this theory but the theory behind standard and aftermarket plenums and the dis/advantages they may have.

the only thing i really have left is the cam gears andinlet gaskets. i also still have the head, but not really fussed on selling it.

could the guy that sent me the money for the clear cam cover, please resend me your address because i accidentally deleted it Ariel

one regret is selling the block and crank, they were one of the best ones id seen. yeah quad cam 4.5l which i am twin turboing

dam you Marko lol....good on you for getting it all done, i would have still been waiting but hey the move to the vh45dett will never be regretted.

plazmaman they provide the majority of workshops with aluminium mandrel bends and therefore best prices

factory specs

i am happy to wrap/package it up and drop it off at a courier depot for you if you like

rb26 head now has both missing valves and bucket. so its only missing 8 shims.

unfortuantely not, its something i will only sell complete....sorry

oil pump and cam cover seals sold

thanks I am getting some delivered next week does anyone have spare shims, I need 8 of them ?

not a problem Marko, anytime. EMS computer no longer for sale PS - how do I edit the original post/title ?
