interesting, i stand corrected then... from what a fair few ppl told me the cost/gain ratio wasnt worth it but ill look into it... so how much are we looking at here to get an rb26 head ported?

A basic tidy up certainly isnt going to hurt thats for sure.

SK prices are pretty much there, you might be able to get to around 1k. It really depends on what needs to be done, and what does not

What a ported head should look like ----> http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=161673

Looks like a half port job to me.... You havent actually taken anything out which causes the majority of restriction. As soon as you get to the divider, this is where material comes out all the way to the valve seat. Inbetween those you have to determine how much material comes out for best flow according to the expected chacteristics of the inlet/exhaust pressure and velocity. I know the inlet looks like its nicely ported (no close up pics, hard to tell) but the exhaust, where the majority of the restriction is on an rb26 is as I said in my opening sentence.

Maybe SK will post a nice example of a ported head and if he doesnt, I wouldnt blame him. A lot of work is gone into finding out where to take material out for the best final port. Its not just remove 2mm all round.

Care to elaborate with specific facts? I take it you are quite familiar with RB head design and port flow, and know both what you are talking about with regards to RB heads and SK's henchmans capabilities.

      I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it

      Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare.

      R32 gtst speedo out by 10kph

      By -Jimmy- · Posted

      Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.

      Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
