Homebuilt Rb28 Gtr33

[Deano 1]

they seam like a good bit of kit for the price.... ill be watching this space

[33GTRV]

just pulled the engine off the stand and encountered my forst problem with the spool crankshaft. The flywheel bolts need to have a washer on them or shortened due to the factory bolts bottoming out. On to the lathe they go then!

[mico]

aftermarket clutches will do that.

[33GTRV]

well, flywheel and clutch went on, engine went in and box is on. Now for thw bloody starter.... Getting ezcited about the startup!

[Piggaz]

Not before a turbo mate

[33GTRV]

Yep, just gotta convince the minister for finance and war! Also guys, T78-33D is for sale. Looking at a more promising purchase to compliment this engine

[33GTRV]

turbo choice has shifted to a precision 6466 .84 TS T4 rear. Should hopefully be the goods on this set up

Looking for triple double jointed male/female with small hands and experience in GTR starter motors.......im bleeding to death here!

[r32-25t]

You need a short ring spanner with a ratcheting head

[N1GTR]

If you found a double jointed female you wouldn't have her working on the car, if you know what I mean

Glad the build's still progressing - awesome work doing a home built monster.

_{if i found a double jointed female id be pimpin ma DJ hoe fo sho!}

_{No but seriously, im 6foot4, and resemble some large primate species, gorilla like.....i can only just fit my hands in the bloody cavity the bastard goes!}

[shaunr34gtt]

using a socket with short extension then a uni joint then several more extensions to bring the ratchet to the front of the plenum makes it quite a lot simpler on my rb20 may help with your 26

Engine out makes it a breeze

[33GTRV]

_{yeah, i got it. ended up removing the alternator and oil filter and going through the front of the engine bay. I despise the starter in these cars, i almost bled to death lol. Its all starting to come together now, just waiting on some ned alt, ac and ps belts to arrive, a new supersnail to arrive and then its off to the fab shop to get a PS resivoir relocated and hotside piping made up along with a dump and exhaust! Pics tonight}

You can also drop the front cradle down on the bolts. I learnt the hard way.

[33GTRV]

Well, engine harness is on, cold side is 95% complete, just waiting on a new fuel filter and some fuel line, then i can bang that in, put the cooler hose and radiator hoses on and im on to the injectors! Was considering going a set of "Adaptors to go from the ID's to the standard plugs, but im instead going to remove the old plug and hard wire in a new plug as it looks neater and there is a little extra wire there if in the future i decide to change my mind again.

Id like to give a big shout out to paul, aka PIGGAZ for his help, and also a shout out to the greater SAU community for thier knowledge of all things arr bee!

Now, some boring, but progressive pictures!

On the way in, by yourself, this method makes it an absolute fcuking mission!

In the hole!

And as it sits at the moment, waiting for some precision goodness so i can start routing lines and making a dump!

[Piggaz]

Fkn awsome man!

Gotta get this thing up pumping!

Yavuz is keen to tune your car so that's no issue!
