Yes you could paint it in the shed in the middle of summer, but the finish prob won't be that good. The shed has to be spotless, and hosed down. Any dust floating around will find it's way into the top coat and will show up. It's almost impossible to eliminate dust. Not to mention the fumes which arn't good for you. Best bet maybe to prep it at home, prime it, and do your repairs then get it painted in a booth by a professional, that will prob get good results if your prep is good and save you dollars too. Cheers.

SK, i've had really good results over the years using a drag calculators, always racing back to back after a dyno result, and mph's and et's were fairly spot on, providing the weight figures were correct.

So everyone here uses different types of rods. And i bet everyone thinks the rods they use are the best lol. I think i've found Modified Eagle rods the cheapest so far. ~$1400 for a set. Anyway can anyone tell me max reliable power and max revs you could expect to make with each rod brand?

It's a factory coolant drain plug. it normally just has a bung in it. With the external wastegate. You have a normal vacum/pressure feed going to the bottom port, now add a t-peice into this feed and run that into a regulator (needle valve) of some sort, now this goes through the regulator to the top of the wastegate, and that is how you regulate boost, by adjusting how much pressure get applied to the top to keep the wastegate valve shut.. Hope this makes sense. cheers.

ET streets are very very similar construction to a full drag slicks. I have never used tubes and never had a problem with the 3 sets i've had. It's up to you. i have ran 10.5 @ 130mph with no dramas.

OK, yes the hole above the oil drain is the oil feed supply. The one towards the rear is the water feed, the bigger one with the flat face (because you use a banjo fitting with a copper washer to seal) . The water returns behind the block and into the block via the one of the big bungs on the other side of the motor in your second picture???? The lower hole on the right just has a bung in it and it's a factory water drain plug. I assume with the wastegate, presumably the bottom hole has a pressure feed to it which regulates boost. Get a feed from the plenum inlet. Boost will be regulated by the spring rate. ie with a 15psi spring, with just a feed to the bottom you will get 15psi. However if you want more, you need a boost controller/regulator, which feeds normal pressure to the bottom and regulates how much pressure to apply to the top hat which equalizes hence regulating a higher boost level. Hope this helps. Cheers.

Still looking guys...

Another big thanks to Sydneykid from me. In the short time i've emailed him he has been a wealth of knowledge! Thanks.

Looks like a 1.06 rear from the photo?

Ryno, i'm leaning more towards a rb26 head. But if i don't find one let me know. Cheers. PM what price you were chasing for it? Cheers.

Hi everyone, i'm looking for a either a r32 rb25de (no vvt) or RB26dett head complete with covers, cas, inlet plenum and all associated parts required for a hybrid motor. Either pm me or email me with what you've got. email : brendonlow@hotmail.com Thanks. Brendon.
