Some of the smaller hoses are different and you can't use them.

Mark at MRC is trying to get a full set made up through the manufacturers, and just jap is still getting r32 hoses organised too.

Cheers.

probably all made in china like everything else :P

i've seen full kits for 32 gtr before. it may have been on an american website tho.

this reminds me i also need to buy some. but not too sure what to buy since i have a r34 motor in my 32..

Well a mechanic I know thinks he can order me a set. I can't remember what brand he said they'd be but I will keep you posted on it when I find them. I believe that SFS do a kit for the R32 also.

I just read this.... "The RB26DETT is the all time greatest performance engine to date and its amazing performance potential is extracted with the use of the TOMEI RB28 Kit."

Ordered all my parts on Friday, fun times ahead!! Awesomest Christmas present ever this year!!!

Well.... I dropped it off to Autotech on Friday.

Engine comes out this week then gets sent to Pro Engines (Please I know there's good and bad stories about Pro Engines enough with the PMs) then on the 3rd it goes on a truck and goes to Capital Collision for the respray. Provided I can get some stocky wheels or something for a week or two while it's at Capital Collision the wheels will come off and go to Wicked Wheels for all the old gutter rash from it's Japan days to be repaired.

All parts are in cept for some hoses, coilpack loom and some dump pipes. Just need to choose the exact final paint colour.

But all the good stuff is now happening! I will post some pics up as we go along :D

    • True, might get it looked at. Found out you can in fact flatten the 12v battery relatively easily too the other day (kids lefts the hazards on) so meaning to get that checked in the new year. What's odd is it'll blow cold from both vents if you have the ac down as low as poss (18), but anything else the passenger one blows warmish. Also has been summer since I got it obvs but noticed it didn't seem to want to blow hot last night when we had a cold snap. 
    • You ask for things. You specifically state you want responsiveness. A link was provided for a far superior, more responsive option. Find a MX5 workshop that will install it for you. Maybe MX5 Mania will throw on the Fab9 kit. It seems they want to charge almost 14K installed for their kit, so if they charge you $6K to install the FAB9 kit then you'll be ahead? Though really, the 2.5 with a 2860 running low boost will more or less feel as good as anything else. It's a lot of displacement and a small turbo. Think of a more modern RB26 with one stock turbo :p TBH, truth be told I've been driving my own car, and use about 50% throttle at most for 99.9% of the time. Mr Bogan is likely similar so this is all going to be semantics for the use case he actually has. (He'll be happy with anything relative to now) However, the EFR is hands down far superior in this use case. You really, really, really, really do notice it over the Garrett or equivalent.  
    • You are correct, the earlier the torque, the earlier things snap
    • Gents, it will be getting the MX5 Mania kit and the 2.5 will be staying where it is My query was about the 0.64 or the 0.86, whilst the 0.64 might spool a bit faster, would the 0.86 be better IRT EGT and mechanical sympathy, with only a small difference in spool And as I assume I won't need alot of boost to get to 200kw, probably around 10 psi, and with max rpm at 6500, would high EGT even really be a issue with a 0.64 I'm heading into MX5 Mania at the end of Jan to discuss the install, so any info is welcome prior to that Basically have a chat and book a time so they can throw on the turbo kit, and fit a oil cooler with a thermostat, drive in drive out of course  In other news: just finished cleaning the car inside and out, it's now all ready to get covered in bugs and dirt driving to Goulburn tomorrow to lunch,  and go for a stroll along woolondilly River with the daughter and her boy, and of course, visit my grandcats and my new grandpuppy 
    • Sounds like it has an actual problem with mode select doors, or something.
