The GTR/GTS4's run a block/sump adaptot plate so it also lowers the sump down slightly.

Anotonys GTS4, everything is VERY close. The bonnet had to be cut as the cam belt cover was touching.

my adapter plate is only about 8mm thick, hopefully there was more clearance than that with the RB26. just had a look in the engine bay, the steering rack looks higher than the crossmember.

shanef i have seen spacer plates put in between the crossmember and the chassie rail befor to get the motor down lower

thats one thing to consider if i dont sort this problem out...

Shane, I have cut about 100mm piece out of the one of the under bonnt supports where it hits the cam belt cover, now my bonnet shuts and just clears.

What turbos you using there?

the turbo's u see there in the photo's are the R34 N1's, i just put them on with the dumps attached to see what type of clearance i had/didnt have between the firewall, which it seems like i dont need to mod them! (still gotta double check) but im swapping these turbo's for a set of Trust T618z

Hi Shane, not sure what's going on there. Cross member clearance shouldn't be a problem, the deck height is increased at the upper end of the block from the top of the water pump upwards. And the bonnet should well and truly close if you can fit a strut brace under there, the're a lot higher than 38mm above the cam covers. The engine is supposed to be on a bit of an angle but the clearance should still be good. Try looking on the GTROC UK site for comparison pics

at the risk of stating the obvious it seems that the whole engine is tilted way to far up at the front and that's what is causing the sump to hit at the rear.

thanks mate, i frequent those forums alot, they're a great bunch hey :ninja:

the things that got me is that the rb26 engine mounts are sitting flat on the engine mounts on the rails! but the fronts tilted like a mofo!

adapter plate is only 10mm, so pretty much fark all (surely thered be better clearance from factory than 10mm)

i'll go outside and grab some photo's.

im fairly certian they are, as i farked around for a good hour or so trying different combo's between the gtr and rb30 mounts to fit it properly, but i'll certainly double check that when i pull it out.

qik visit back to my brain straining issue.

Pulled the wastegate off, checked that it is sealing, checked that it is working with compressed air, all is fine. No diaphram leaks and no leaks on the intake side.

Still it will not boost past 0.7 bar. Ive put a 20 psi spring in, tried disconnecting the gate altogether, boost pressure to the bottom of the gate, to the top of the gate to both top and bottom.

Makes no sense at all ????

Help

annoying part is - that it was running consistent 16 psi previous to me removing the spring the first time

makes me not want to remove my 1.2Bar spring from my new Wastegate

definately a puzzling thing

Nothing else changed at the same time? this is a really troubling problem. How is the fuel pump pressure now? It's about the only other thing I can think of right now.

Engine with the machinist this morning. Aust post suck for being so slow but all goodies now in place for extreme funness!!!!

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
