Fantastic work!

I'm still a little bummed I didn't make my return trip home from the Nationals via Sydney, so I could stop by and have a look... though it did shave a few hundred km off the drive.

How far away is the engine build? Have you decided on all the details for it yet?

Thanks Ian.

It s ok maybe nextime you are in sydney John would be more then happy to show you the fab work and what his aiming to build.

The build has been slow, just getting the head ready for assembly as the bottom end is completed. ( Still trying to get pics for this )

All the other aspects of the car are ready and up to date, just need to drop the motor im and start finishing this build.

It's almost like the next pics you post couldn't possibly be better than what you've already posted...

But No.... They just get more awesome!

Have you weighted the manifold/turbo/gate assembly? Noted John thought it wouldn't need any brace/supporting. Just wondering what the actual weight is :)

The weight of the manifold with just the wastegates bolted on is about 7kg.

Spoke to John about the brace, he will be adding a brace or bracing system to the manifold however at this point of time he has not stated where. Once he does i will update you.

Cool thanks :) is it for clearance reasons. My 1jz manifold does the opposite (faces the comp cover away)

The turbo was rotated towards the rocker cover to achieve the best exit of the turbo that was not a 90 degree bend like everyone else has, john has said 90 degree bend can cause upto 15% loss in efficiency of the turbo.

Low mount manifold? Or does the comp cover face in towards the rocker cover?

This pic will answer your question

The red lines drawn on the inlet are approximate anti-surge slot locations to be milled out?

Sweet :)

I remember earlier in the thread it was stated it wasn't needed, perhaps that was only in early stages. 7kg + turbo would be quite a hefty end result.

Be interesting to see where it's braced and what not - look forward to that update :thumbsup:

fyp

heat + stainless steel = bending.

good welds will not stop it.

keep us updated. :)

The red lines are for the installation of a plunger infront of the turbo.

John does not like anti surge slots as this also reduces the efficiency of the turbo.

    • Hey everyone,   I’m looking for some advice on replacing the timing belt on my RB25DET Neo-powered 1998 Skyline. The engine was fully built about five years ago, including a fresh timing belt, water pump, and other essentials. However, since then, the car has only covered around 2,000–3,000 miles. It’s currently making around 650hp.   Even though the mileage is low, I know timing belts have a time-based lifespan too, and most recommendations suggest changing them every five to six years or 50,000 miles. Since I’m at that time mark, I’d rather not take any risks and plan to swap it out soon.   A few things I’d like to hear opinions on: 1. What’s the best belt for this setup? Should I go with an OEM Nissan belt, or is the HKS fine-tune a better choice given the power level? 2. Would you bother replacing the idler pulley and tensioner at the same time, or only if they show wear? 3. When swapping the belt, is it necessary to lock the cam and crank gears in place, or is lining up the timing marks enough? I’ve seen different approaches, and I want to make sure I do it right.   The water pump was changed with the rebuild and isn’t run off the timing belt, so I don’t see a need to replace it again. I just want to make sure I approach this the right way.   Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
    • How does this compare to the internally gated g25-550 in terms of power production at same psi and spool
    • Did you find that your voltage of the battery wasn't where it's normally supposed to be? for example on my r34, it's at 14.5v when running after a few seconds, but I noticed when I had a rough start and it initially wasn't idling correctly, the voltage on my triple gauge cluster was showing lower than usual. Seems like the alternator is starting to crap itself
