they can be pressed out pretty easily

then either tap some threads or press some fittings in the covers and you can use earls stuff

ive got a set here that have had the stock fittings pressed out and earls 90 degs pressed in

I have not got much to do to the engine now so i might give it a go and pull them out.

could get a nice Red R Racing one made to set it off if you like :(

Whos to say im not getting that sticker made??? :)

I thought as much. Looks like ill have to make do with the stock ones.

Anyway here is a new pic i took with the coil pack in bright silver:

post-32255-1214773843_thumb.jpg Looks like a Tomei "DERIVE" engine lol

Looks awesome in the sunlight.

Im getting a sticker made to replace the 2500 24valve logo.

Looks great mate!

Roughly a month. There was a set back with a top piston ring. If it went all smoothly probably 3 weeks.

The car is getting picked up tomorrow morning to get all of the finishing touches done and will be running hopefully on Friday afternoon :D

awesome build up with great pics, your workshop got that motor together in sweet time! what was the actual time from dropping off to picking up the built motor? a quick look at the post dates says somewhere about one month? nice!

any updates?

yeah we like to have them on a one month turn-around. Although we are quick we are also very thorough. All tolerances are checked and double checked and clearances less than spot-on are not acceptable. I actually sent Dave's crank back to be re-done on one of the journals as it wasn't to my standards.

Got 3 tough RB26 builds on at the moment for other forum members, two from interstate...one a big 2.8 stoker...nice.

some people like to remain anon.

lol or are too lazy to start one!

cant wait to get my one Paul, so excited! I havent sent the bearing yet, sorry havent had time to visit the post office.

Dave, im pretty sure I have a 4inch K&N at home if you cant find a retailer who stocks them.. PM me if you need it

Too late Johno, i picked up a HPI 4inch pod from JustJap this morning.

Car is at the exhaust shop, was talked into fitting a 4inch body Metal Cat,suppose to flow nearly 1000CFM of air!

Going to the tuners tomorrow afternoon, but i wont have the car back until mid next week. Adam is going to spend alot of time on the tune so it is perfect,cold start the lot.

Why get one workshop to build it then another to tune it? Any particular reason?

I refuse to touch Haltech's...Why? not because they are inferior...its because i dont know them....unlike other workshops who don't know what they are doing and learn on the fly with other peoples hard earned cash. Adam is the Haltech expert and im more than comfortable Dave taking it to him. He'll do a top job....can't wait to see some results.

You're not the only one. Quite keen to see how it goes down the 1/4, assuming that will happen?

hey nytsky if paul wants to start a topic of the build on my motor im more then willing to let him..... ya know the big 2.8stroker one..... but yes ur rite im too lazy to start one hahahahaha. just think of it as advertising for ya hey paul lol im keen to see lots and lots of pics of the build neways so bring it on

    • Haha yea it's a bit of a weird setup at the moment, just wanted to make sure I sorted out any headaches before dyno day. At the moment I've changed the exhaust manifold, turbo and downpipe, 460lph fuel pump and rising rate reg as well as the previously mentioned headstuds and gasket. The nistune was already mapped for the car as it was and drove around for a few months no worries. The plan is to run flex fuel hence the big pump, which I've wired direct to the battery through a relay to avoid voltage issues.
    • Um. Was the ECU the same as the one previously there? I know R33's needed R32 GTST ECU's or other tomfoolery to run Nistune. This is such a wild setup. Most people would plumb in the turbo then not drive the car (i.e tow it to a tuner). What's actually changed since it last ran?
    • I'm a bit stuck with this one fellas, I recently decided to undertake a turbo conversion on my GTS-4, ended up pulling the motor to replace all the seals and do an mls head gasket and arp head studs while I was at it. Everything has gone according to plan, no oil or coolant leaks, compression checked out, and decided to give it a test before I book it in for a tune As it stands right now, the turbo only has oil lines plumbed so that I don't put boost into my untuned engine, and I'm using the factory GTS-T crossover pipe with a maf and poddy as a temporary intake. The car starts with relative ease and idles amazingly, however as the title suggests it really doesn't want to rev up, runs very smooth but almost feels choked out and unresponsive to the throttle, almost like it's running lean or something? I've triple checked my vacuum lines and timing with a timing light, injectors haven't been touched as of yet to avoid flooding the engine and worked perfectly beforehand, new plugs and coilpacks, I've even unbolted the cat just to see if it spontaneously collapsed, no dice The car currently has a nistune r32 gtst ecu installed so I have no way to check for fault codes. At this point I'm a bit stumped. Is this normal behaviour for a car with a turbo bolted onto the exhaust going nowhere? I'd imagine the turbo wouldn't cause this much restriction in the exhaust without the boost going through the intake. Any ideas? If necessary I can link a video of how it responds to full throttle while in neutral.
