farken awesome mate! well done. :D

refresh my memory, what turbos are you running? you must be very happy with the results. :(

edit: 315rwkw on just 10psi is awesome, and it looks pretty responsive too. i'm guessing 2530s or similar?

Cheers guys.

Yep Richard, 2530's I bought off Slide a while back. I'm stoked it's going so well. All the little things + $$$ add up to get that figure lol. 260 poncams with around 2deg advance on the intake, 0 on exhaust.

Responsive for a 2.6l lol. It's very driveable in traffic too. Can't wait to finish tune on higher boost setting though.:)

Ha ha, I ain't complaining lol. It drives like a bigger engine at the moment. One of my friends saw the graph and said it was an NA lol. In first gear I'd accelerate in a straight line and all through first gear you could hear tyres scrabbling for grip! I wonder what to expect when I run it in and go from there. WSID will be on the cards with some mickey t's to test it out.

From when I got it tuned a while back, they didn't finish it due to the metal cat converter shitting itself, and partially blocking the exhaust. Has a couple of othe lines from other cars lol.

Done over 17,000k now and running well. Blew my rebuilt gbox a few months back, so put in another stocker, number 4 now I think.

Only things I'd like to fix up is:

Top ring gap, currently 21thou want 14 thou.

Sump vent, plumb one in to let oil in head drain back down, when on track days at high revs it half fills the catch can with oil.

Sump baffle, trap door and bigger sump....

Other than that it's good. Revs to 9k but I don't have to as peak power is around 7400.

Gets oil and filter change every 3000k. Track days, it gets dumped asap.

    • I made a little more progress last night and added some E85 safe fuel tank baffle foam in behind the stock cam cover baffle plate.  It still feels really wrong shoving foam inside the engine but apparently its fine based on it pretty much being the MINES/Hi-Octane RB26 cam baffle kit and the few posts here I have found of people doing it and the lack of posts saying the foam broke down and ruined the motor... Still plan to check it frequently though lol The last step for this round of oil control modifications I plan to make is to add some -12AN fittings to the cam covers and connect them to some (already existing luckily) -12AN fittings on the sump. Basically a sudo head drain/sump breather/pressure equaliser without having to remove the motor and do the one on the rear of the head. My plan is to add them to either the tops or the sides of the cam covers at the back. unless there is a compelling reason to have them at the front on the sides which i have seen a few times though they were all on RB26 cam covers from memory so that may be due to the stock breathers being on the back and the integral baffle being different ?    
    • from an old insurance company i was with (Budget Direct) I had someone roll back into me at the lights got them to pull over. Got a picture of thier licence with address, had a dash cam video and, thier phone number. But only had 3rd party on the shitbox i was driving. insurance did nothing, cops wouldn't do anything due to the value of the damage (under $3000) so i just had to suck it up and go to U Pull It. 
    • Small Update on the Exhaust Situation A 200-cell cat was a bit too expensive for now, so I had the exhaust shop fabricate a new exhaust from the cat to the rear and an exhaust tip. I went this route to avoid cutting into the original exhaust and keep it intact. It’s essentially straight-piped, and the sound is noticeably different. The exhaust tip came with a silencer, so if it gets too loud, I can easily install it to tone things down slightly. Right now, the car bangs and pops like crazy -- which I personally love. In the future, I might add a resonator or a 200-cell cat, as niZmO_Man suggested, but for now, I’m really happy with how it turned out.  
    • And that's a massive problem, because deadshits will deadshit and give you false details. At least in these days of mobile cameraphones, it is trivial to take photos of any ID they are carrying at the same time as the 300 photo extensive documentation of the state of the vehicles that I recommend even for minor incidents. And you get photos of the person's face, any visible tatoos, etc etc, while you're at it. Then you try to avoid mentioning that you're fully capable of making explosives of various power levels and will wreck their shit if you are forced to hunt them down.
