Looks sweet Bobby!

With the external oil feeds to the head, is it setup that way so you can alter the flow to the head with a restrictor in the line where it shares its supply from the turbo oil out T connection?

Hi Ian,

Yes the oil flow can be controlled.

Yes the oil will be T connected to the oil feed line.

Best build I've seen....love all the custom stuff and the workmanship is incredible....

It's not often you see someone go the full 9 yards with a build.. and one day I hope I can afford doing something like this once I finish uni etc...

Btw, I would actually consider selling my left testicle in exchange for owning this car (srs)

hi bobby andrew with the compound ca18 i was just wondering at what stage are u at with this car now ? i spoke to john the other day for a few hours and noticed your engine still on the fabrication stand... just today i started making my own wastegate venturi ventricle, not as nice as johns hydro formed one but some of us arent as well setup or skilled.

Hey Andrew,

The motor at John is a dummy rb26 only used for the manifold.

    • I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp
    • Forgot to mention that these are the before pics when I first got it!
    • Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆
    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
