Nytsky's Engine Build

MMM T04Z i assume its the HKS version?

I would love to, though at the moment they are 4k! A little out of my price range. Im trying to hold myself back from buying a GT35R,

[Rezlo]

No, its the Garrett version, I cant see paying near double the price for 100-200rpm worth while, rather spend that money in more usefull places.

I think the biggest thing with a T04z is if you want it to run nice on the street is to use a well design twin scroll manifold and use a smaller A/R turbine, I find it far easier to drive because it rolls into boost much smoother than the GT35, top end responce on the track now is also night and day, I chopped off 2 seconds around our 1.20ish track swapping to the T04z, on the street you can feel it powering up at 3000rpm by 3500rpm its at 7psi and by 4000rpm its on fire, suits my driving style perfectly.

hi all,

Car is back on stands, engine and driveline are out.

Have to go to Bunnings to get 1 engine stand bolt!! (seem to have lost one)

Then it will be getting stripped down.

Surprising how easy it is to pull an engine out once you have done it a few times.

Car was up, engine and box was out in an hour lol Probably could have been quicker but i spent 10mins trying to get the circlip off the shifter with a set of long nose pliers

good work dave. nice to see you away from the drift movies long enough

OK just an update.

Rather than fix the damaged head (which looks like it would cost alot to weld up and grind) i purchased a whole RB25DET long engine and will be using the head off that.

But everything in that head will be replaced ie: Valves,Guides,Seat,Valve seals the lot. So it will be a brand spanking new head when its all finished

I also bought new pistons (Mahle) and i cant believe the quality of these things! ( Steve-o )

Ultra light, Teflon skirts, carbon rings very nice indeed.

And i have sold the Poncams and replaced them with HKS items in256 8.8mm ex264 9.0mm Just so i can squeeze a little more out of my setup.

Things have been rather busy so the bottom end is still not stripped down. Hopefully next weekend we will get cracking, we now have 2 engines to strip

Where is the best place to get Mahle pistons for a Rb26/30? My engine builder wants to use CP but I'm keen to check Mahle out.

you'll be extremely lucky if you can find a set in the country. best bet would be to source them from the states

i bought my set from http://www.importperformanceparts.net/

tho they are bit more expensive with the current exchange. tho fairly cheap still.

they dont list a price, but trust me when i say its the cheapest i could find!

Hioctane check them out where i purchased mine. Also mahles arent & easy piston to fit they require a lot more mods to fit as they hit oil squirters have to be spaced to fit properly. they arent like your cps or arias that go straight in & theres something else as well cant remember but overall once there in there nice. They are prob one of the best piston around.

You sure thats the way with rb26?? i recall something about sr20 needing to be notched. but the rb26 were ok.?

[NYTSKY]

The only downside in fitting Mahles is the carbon rings.

They are very brittle, you only really get one shot at banging them in. If you miss its bye bye ring.

Yeah im sure about the 26s have somethings that have to be adjusted to fit the mahles. Ill ask andrew who built my engine & let ya know. something about skirts hitting somewhere & something else. But like i said ill ask him & let you guys know

That's ok, my Rb30 doesn't have oil squirters. Are the rings ok if you can get them in without breaking them?

Engine stripped.

Car is loaded for the trip to Pauls in the morning.

[Beer Baron]

I would think very carefully about that. RB26s also have oil squirters... if their RNN14 pistons foul the squirters there's a good chance they don't clear the 26 ones either. i would check it very carefully.

[Angus Smart]

Yee i shall cross that bridge when i come to it. or let the engine builder know anyway. i'm sure it wont be a problem for him. you'd think mahle would have them correct from factory?

[N1GTR]

Exactly

[Swiper the Fox]

Exactly

Ill be looking at them and ill report back...

at the moment ive got more heads at my place than the local drug dealer.
