Damn seems every time we have one of these my cars in peices gotta work faster gotta work faster

You just wanna try and knock ya old man off

talk about not putting your feet down. I got of my old honda 900 once and walked away only to hear it crash to the ground ,when i went back to pick it up I'd forgotten to put the sidestand down I new it was my fault only because it fell the oppisit way to the side stand. back then glad of crash bars no damage execpt to my pride

i had the same problem...

WooooooooooHooooooooo picked up engine parts last night at long last engine assembly time :PBJ: will post pick's of the build

I have had my old r32 turned and as stated earlier we cracked the airbox but on mine it made no differance .The reason we cracked it was to test the cai .Was done on the dyno with cool air fan blowing to the front of the car all dyno runs were done with the bonnet down to simulate actual driving conditions cai ran from airbox to front bumper air intake worked a charm test was done by Hitman who reconed that it might have even lost a little if anything .Goes the show the importance of proper engine breathing and a good cai. Cheers Peter

could just be xmas holidays

Check out this site I bought there deluxe porting tool kit and do my own heads comprehensive guide with it to http://www.sa-motorsports.com/do-it-yourself.aspx good luck Cheers Peter

From our measurements they atr the same it just the bearing cap width thats differant 1st pic rb26 rod on the left ,2nd pic rb26 rod on the right ,bith rods number 1 cheers Peter

RB20 rods are the same length as rb25 and 26 little end pins or gudgen pins also the same dia only differance is the big ends are smaller in the 20 rods .I had all three measured up for my rebuild just b4 xmas Rb26 rod on the right rb20 rod on the left Cheers Peter

Congrats to both of you ,One proud mum and dad I'll bet

Well done good to see someone having a go

You would be surprised what postage from the uk costs

Hi Wheezy 22.5 psi, hks low mount cast mannifold and standard inlet all mods listed in the rb20 dyno thread .

I may be showing my age here ,but this is not a new law its just turning back the clock 20 or 30 years.When I first got my license at 17 this was the law then no points first offence 3 months loss of license next 6 months and so forth .made sure u did the rite thing .In fack wasn't till 2 years ago when my son was booked on P's that I found out there was a point system for P platers so ask ya fathers how they survived as rat's in there youth and you might get a clue .Biggest reason is there's a time and place for everything and its not on the roads to be stupid or ignorant of other cars do it on a track Cheers Peter

These look awesome and great buying too here's some pic's on my car thanks Blitz

Fa............K me wot else can ya say

I'mm getting there ,Imm getting there, damn machine shop's ,still waiting on me engine parts back promised me b4 xmas but still no engine but at least the body's near done . Bet that feels good hey Moanie to have your pride and joy back after so long how's it going ?????

If you can smell I wouldn't be driving the car much ,as it probably means leaking fuel in the engine bay since fuel lines and injectors are all in front of drivers position is why u get to smell it first .I had the same problem with mine once it turned out to be a leaking O ring on one of the injectors and I know this has caused engine bay fires on at least 2 cars on this forum as I bought parts from them so personaly I wouldn't be driving it till it went to the mechanic's Cheers Peter

Well, I didnt know that

So is there any updates on this yet

Well at a bit of a standstill atm just waiting on engine back so I can assemble it and parts from japan but here's where im upto starting to look like a car again front blinkers look awesome thanks Nick Will update again when I get to the mechanical side of things Cheers Peter

this thread is making me feel real old I'm gonna go get my walking stick now

Hi Guy's Read this post a couple time but been a bit busy to reply latley as its a bit long winded because im building this RB20 engine atm but using aries 79mm pistons and with the rb25 crank make it 2.108 litre Q1. I would not be using stock bearings whith your hp goal ,go with the acl race series as there pretty cheap and a good bearing .I'd say he would be pricing you on oversize stock bearings,and aftermarket high performance bearings are normaly made and tested in high hp applications to meet the requirements og high performance engines stock ones arn't Q2. 4agze pistons are forged so there they are the same as aftermaket and i found the same as you 6 4agze pistons are roughly the same price as a set of aftermarket but where they differ is pin height and pin diameter so you have to pay the extra on having the pistons modified to fit your engine and your rods an added cost. Anthing you do that adds hp to an engine adds stress to it ,its what you do when you build it to lessen the stress loads with better made components that helps make it reliable.aftermaket inlet plenum are one of the last things you will need but exhaust manifolds add hp but get a good one not a cheapie I use a hks low mount cast Q3.No I would not go the knife edge was looking at this myself and was advised against it, but on an rb20 a short stroke motor it reduces rotating mass something short stroke 2ltr's need, better to go a lightened flywheel but not to light would not go under 5kg as standard are 10kgand no for just exhaust and inlet manifold are not enough by themselves the help but its like putting the small ends of 2 funels together the middle will not flow enough head needs match porting.Im running an n1 oil pump and I have the crank collar fitted here's a pic you need it to use the n1 pump this was supplied and fitted by proengine in Canberra lastly save for aftermarket cams once again I have hks 246 cams. Q4. In a word YES oil ristrictors are necessary and there cheap and easy to fit. I see you have read the oil supply in rb engines so I dont have to go into it again Q5 Japan is about the only place I could find that had anything over 80.5mm bore dia unless you went custom made, thats the biggest cometic make Q6.Well a head gasket is the last thing to buy ,I just made this mistake ofter boring and decking of the block 10 thou taken of the deck height and facing the head 15thou the 1.2mm tomei head gasket I've got is too thin you have to take into account that when you stroke an rb20 your adding 2mm of stroke thats 1mm at the bottom of the stroke and 1mm at the top of the stroke so to keep your squich area's the same you have to add 1mm or 40thou to the thickness of your head gasket in my case i nedded a 74 thou gasket was the thickest i could get so leave this till all machining is done Think thats answered most of what you asked but just reading through this post I think you rwhp goals will be hard to meet my old r32 made 282rwkw with cams, head ported, aftermaket turbo garrett gt3040r, 550 injectors, sard fpr,front mount ,exhaust manifold ,3.5 exhaust,spitfire coil packs and this new motor will be bigger and better and I'm hoping it reaches 300rwkw and id be happy Just had a look at ya pricing estimations so I thought Id throw mine in here in sydney Arp head stud bolts $340,Arp main stud bolts $380, rb26rod bolts $180, acl race series bearings $240 rod and main,!st one tomei metal head gasket $470,2nd 1 cometic metal headgasket $280 got it cheap .Crank collar supplied and balanced $400,Pistons got these cheap at $970,RB26 rods shot peend balanced hardened resized and new gudgen bearings $400 got these dirt cheap too I wouls not use standard rb25 rods better of going aftermaket as it will save you putting one through the block there the thinest of the lot we did all the measuremenst on all three rods and they were all the same length rb25 and 26 same size big and little ends rb20 had smaller big end ,Machining must be pretty cheap where you are to get the work on my head done and block machining is costing me $3000 just for that and there will still be more after that Told you it would be long winded Cheers Peter

How much is the F-con vs Emanage..
