so problem will be solved by getting proper sized rods

Well it's either you use standard length like the HKS 2.8 kit does or 119.5 mm (2 mm shorter) like the Tomei does. It's all about where your pin sits.

Either way, when stroking your rod to stroke ratio is going to fall, but really, 26's ain't the best from factory. It means a little bit more wear and harder on the pin, however, there are advantages also.

I noticed that you ran a pod filter in the engine bay in the early days with the car, and have since revised it so the filter is in front of the left front wheel.

Do you have any pictures that more closely show you relocated turbo air intake?

Did you have any concerns with water on the filter in the low location from wet weather driving, or do you have a rain shield around it?

Hey Guys,

I am trying to get in contact with Anthony, the owner of GTRB28 but he hasnt been on AUS for about a year. Anyone know how I can get in contact with him?

yeah its in kemps project 34 now, running low boost (30psi low) until he changes gearbox etc. he was going to build an elephant package so just bought it as the owner was selling for bigger better things.

no doubt powertune could build another if youre serious.

kemp doesnt work at powertune either., unless recently employed lol.

Hi AH_HUH, I went hunting through the thread and can't find a dyno plot for the RB28/PT7175 combo - what was the most power it made, and how was lag with it... if you don't mind sharing?

Do you reckon it needed much more than 5000rpm for full boost? Cheers :)

    • OK, that is a helpful description, because that sounds exactly like a bleeding issue in the clutch....these are hard to bleed manually even when the damping loop has been removed. I'd suggest bleeding again....start by filling the master cylinder up and opening the bleed nipple. Come back and check every now and then that the master cylinder is not empty. Let it gravity bleed for a few hours and see if that improves
    • I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car
    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
