Nytsky's Engine Build

[NYTSKY]

There is a way to do it with the PFC, i believe it might be in the PFC FAQ Paulr33 put together.

Engine will be in by the weekend. Exhaust fab is next.

Hos high is the turbo sitting? Or is it just the angle of the photo. Would think you could have bonnet clearance problems, or at least need to protech yourbonnet paint from temps? .. Great looking engine

[SimonR32]

What turbo, I thought you were going to order a GTX35?

[turboedsloth]

Is that a standard water pump??

Engine bay looks nice and clean!

Why is the turbo so high?

That is how it sits, it will clear the bonnet and i have reflective high temp adhesive above the turbo/gate.

Its a GT35R, the new head and turbo (GTX35R) will go on just before powercruise.

Standard RB30 pump.

that is discreet LOL

I bet he gets sweet intake temps though, probably keeps exhaust temsp down slightly aswell, all it needs is a huge trumpet for the ram effect and I bet it actually makes a big difference.

lol. I remember a bloke with a super high single and bonnet closure problems.... who was it again?

and I do enjoy the VL super high mount. be a bastard cleaning all the dead bugs out of the mesh though...

I can't recall Rich....I hear he's a handsome and likeable fella though!

Seeing as i work nights i dont expect many phone calls or texts at the wee hours of the morning, so i was a little surprised at 2am when i get sent these:

Paul was up all night putting some finishing touches on the engine before the install this week. The hours spent on this project to date can add up to weeks. All the fine detail work takes alot of time!

I am very grateful for all the effort he has put in on this thing and i believe it is as much his as it is mine.

[jangles]

HOURS!had many phone calls at all hours while he's been working on your car!

Far out Dave... looks terrible

What's the strange looking cam gear on the intake cam?

VCT? its still a 25 until next year?

I thought the stock VCT was just a solenoid on the left which interacts with the head, didn't think it did anything with the cam gear. I also thought it was on the exhaust cam only, but could be completely wrong.

Reason I ask is there are full adjustable (change based on rpm) cam gears that look similar to what is on his intake cam, they are around $3000 though from what I've seen, fairly complex piece of hardware.

nah, take a look at all RB25DET cam gear covers, all have the bulge for that camgear
