My Rb Rebuild

[Turbz_13]

well its now been months since i drove my car...and i miss it!! mid last year it dropped the bottom end while i was giving it a bit of curry!

after a few months of it sitting in the shed i decided to take it up to blackwood dyno tune. tunred out that the knocking was the piston connecting the with the head. it was all sent off to be tested and lucky for me there was no damage and facing the head cleaned it up nicely as well as all the other things they did to it. the block was bored 20thou over and cleaned up nicely. dropped some eagle H beams rods and acl race series pistons in there and they were all balanced up. new oil and water pumps. sump baffle kits. too much for me to remember

the only photo igot, i was wanting to take more but didnt ge the chance to

heap happy with blackwood, they have dont an awsome job and a great price. checked with me if there was any uncertanties with what i wanted. didnt mind me dropping in when ever i wanted to have a look at how its comming along!

just thought i would put up a little bit of a summery of how my car was comming along, as i hav had a couple people asking me how it is coming along.

only weeks away now!

Nice.. Top blokes down at Blackwood auto/dyno. Good to see the're using a Purulator oil filter.

Is that small funny dude still working there that was the first that I know of who built up an RB30DE down at Turbo tune close to 6-7years ago? I forget his name.

I had mine on their dyno for a quick power run ($30 ~ 2years ago) when I was running in the 30det on the r32's stock ecu.

$30 I got a hell of a lot. Couple of power runs, afr check, datascan or what ever its called hooked up to the consult port.

[Madaz]

looks great

are you gunna run a open cam gear setup so u can see the gears and belt

[nisskid]

lol i worked at BDT for work experience, good bunch of blokes, they steered me away from buying an Z32

[Cubes]

Z32's weigh a tonne and are ugly.

[nisskid]

^^exactly, hence i am very thankful

[Turbz_13]

for the time being i will be using the old cam cover, it is off getting powder coated at the moment along with the cam covers. i wanted them in gold but they didnt have a nice gold so i decided on a nice silver insted,

will put pics up when i get it back on the engine and/or in the car or ill show ya guys on the next cruse im on. hoping to have my car back in a couple weeks

[Cooper]

If you dont mind me asking, what sort of price are you paying for the work?

[Turbz_13]

heres a picture of the timing belt cover. i was really wanting gold to go with the marone colour of my car, but im happy with the silver that i got.

hoping to have it back in a couple weeks. i was up there yesterday and the engine was almost completely back together. they were just replacing all the hoses around the engine and in the engine bay.

[Turbz_13]

wow who would have thought that the standard oil pump was wroth a fair bit more than the n1

[Madaz]

looking good yeah standard stuff is crazily priced

[Turbz_13]

cheers madaz

[dangerman4]

[slimjim]

Looks good man, I can't wait for the day when I pop my engine... NOT! Not so much the money, moreso going like 6 months+ without the car.

[Turbz_13]

dangerman4:

slimjim:

cheers mate, oh yeah i cant wait for it!!! missed the car heaps. haha miss the power

[Tangles]

How much power would the engine be capable putting out, at say 1bar with a highflowed / aftermarket turbo? Also, out of curiosity, what does a rebuild like that cost? Under 7g, or over?
