[rep003]

Thanx Packy. & No I am not putting it together myself.

I'm farming out different parts of the job to different speciallists

CMSdrifter is doing the remove & refit

Moyle engines in Bunbury ( a client of mine) engine strip & reassemble , bore & head porting,

Performance Mods "O" ringed the block

The stall converter is at Allfast

The turb is at Per4manz

SST install Wolf and tune the lot

with Dsturbd & I overseeing the whole thing!

It was supposed to save me some :bling: ...I dont know...but it is keeping me busy

[Packy]

heh seems like a bit of running around, but all worth it !!

sometimes i wonder where you guys get ya money....then i think of how much money i've spent on my cars.

[rep003]

For those of us who didn't know the difference between RB26 rods(left in pic) & RB25 rods..here's a picture

Similar design , just thicker and heavier & this is desirable in rods....if not in women!

MMMMmmmmm 3000rpm Hi Stall arived today :wassup:

Stator was left the same , but Vane angle was changed from +5 degrees to -20 degrees , with the tourque multiplication up from 2.1 to 2.6!

*FREE Bundy can to the person who can explain this to ME!*

Todd....You just want to beat me again :headspin:

[rep003]

It's getting there now

My new engine is together......yay ( I got a wooly ) & they are just bolting on the ancillary's.

Hopefully , it will go back in the hole this weekend ( or early next week ) so I can trailer the car to Perth for the computer install :wassup:

just gotta fit the new fuel pump by then.........

I'm excited Big Kev!

*Note: for those RB25ers that want to use an RB30 water pump , it Does fit , but, you have to drill & tap 1 hole.(the stock pump hole is 10mm offset )

It's the top hole directly under the intake cam wheel *)

[N I B]

Todds car is here getting its VH45DETT fitted today Troy?

[fane]

[rep003]

That bloody Toddler is a sneaky lil trucker! It's a good thing his ride looks sweeeet for BEHIND! Doh

and Yes Fane .... Mr Mills has a new 75hp wet shot with my name on it, that I am saving for

[rep003]

Update , the engine and trans are back where they are supposed to be! YAY

Still have to bolt on alot of accessories , loom , air cond , cooler piping etc ( Go hard CMS drifter ) but fingers crossed it will be tonite.

My turbo has returned from its 2nd rebuild in as many months thanx to the mysterious number 5 spark plug just catching the back of the exhaust wheel as it siad goodbye to the engine! On the upside I remembered to take pics of the To4e ehaust wheel , 54T comp wheel & new 12psi actuator :burnout:

I also have my new fuel pump to go in the tank. It's a Walbro Gss341 out of the states . I'll fit that before the final tune

*note : RB25det thermostat number is 21200-42L06 (76.5 degrees)*

I'm so excited now , I'm about ready to Pop My Cookies..... :wassup:

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Troy, Can't wait to see it up this way, and for you to take me for a spin in in:D

[fane]

im on the spin list

you better come past on the way back to bunno on fri

[DR30RS]

That exhaust wheel is a pearler Troy.Dont want any back pressure with all that laughing gas flowing out of the donk hey?

Should go real well,good luck!

[rep003]

It LIVES!!!!

My beloved 4 door is back on the road Busy running it in at the moment , only 400kms to go (read Friday!)

The Wolf is in & working a treat , the Hi Stall in a freaky experience tho :headspin: especially at the moment.With a 3000rpm lock up & a 4000rpm rev limit whilst breaking it in , the converter is constantly flaring! & there is a definate knack to making the box change cogs.After 600kms I am getting the hang of it , accelerate briskly til it locks up , then back off gently to the required speed & the converter will stay locked

I've learnt 2 things this week , 1) when the alternator bolt that holds the main wire on comes off! the car will only do 12kms max on battery power alone DOH!

2) where the timing belt runs round the crank there is a spacer & a Shaped washer , & if that shaped washer is put on the wrong way! , it shaves slivers off the timing belt!!! DOH! (I will try to get pics of this for future reference)

But after all that........I'm Back

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Well done Troy, hope to see you this weekend, down at Bunbury:D

[Packy]

Congrats Rep

Good to hear its all going well, besides those little mishaps

All the part of doing low 12's !!!!!

[rep003]

My timing belt is being fixed "Right Now"

Ready to be Leant on Tommorow

Below is an exploded veiw that shows my timing belt problem...hope it helps someone else

Washer 13021F on the crank MUST bell towards the main crank pulley , or it shaves bits of ya belt!

730 out of 1000kms :headspin:
