i know what u are saying but for now im just looking to get it on the road as a everyday car so wont be going down that path for awhile.

but i have been doing a bit of reaserch and have found out that seris 1 stageas dont use tip-tronic so im going with that less hassle and i will be getting the stagea ece and auto computer

in the future the gearbox will be getting work done to it just not keen on doing any work to the rb20 auto would rather spend the cash on a rb25 one

just want it do drive good for now then get it registed and on the road.Then ill start the big mods lol!!!!

fix the box then and forget about modding the thing for now. as I said there is no point having a huge amount of power if you have no way to get it to the ground. forget screwing with the electronics - if the current setup works why FK with it. fix the mechanical side of it and then do the rest. you are creating more work for yourself and I'll tell you now that the electronics in these things is nothing to sneeze at for a 20 yr old car. even my old subie with a 98 GT drivleine under it was left alone. the electronics worked fine so I saw no reason to screw with it.

in short do it once and do it right. I'm assuming you are in your early 20s, when I was that age I did a similar thing with a V8 chev. I kept tossing money at it when I should have simply fixed it once and left it alone. 4 engines later I I realised and then built the combo I should have striaght up.

get my point?

    • Strength. And on the early RB26, full engagement of the pump drive.
    • I really don't understand the point of aftermarket oil pumps if your particular engine doesn't need more oil pressure. As far as I can make sense of it the problem seems to be cavitation from sucking air, maybe the pump gear design with how it interfaces with the OEM crank, and maybe the backing plate screws wanting to loosen themselves. How does flowing more oil fix these issues?
    • More photos are up, and the price has been dropped to $16,000. It's just had a service and a new 12V battery, too.
    • I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.
    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
