Piglet's Rebuild Of His Busted Tomei 2.8

[r32-25t]

Cheers mate, i was looking into the kits last night coz i think it will be easier to just chuck in a 2.8 crank rods and pistons into my engine already as thats all id need to change instaed of going 3L.

you can re use the existing head studs and all that stuff right? just need new head gasket and bearings?

you won't regret going 2.8, I remember driving Paul's when it had the gt-rs's still on it and the bottom end torque was amazing, I actually made the comment that day "the only thing I'd change is put 2530s on it"

yeh in reality i should of done it when i built my motor 3 years ago.

its going to have a t51r strapped on the side of it so it should make it pretty fun ( not that its not fun atm lol)

So, last night I went to put on my Twin Turbo pipe and it doesn't fit! GCG didn't orientate the turbo's to the right angle! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GTRsean]

I know the feeling...done that!!

I always dummy fit first especially with new/modded/rebuilt turbo's.

It's too much of a pain to re-clock once they are in...

Well you would think when you took them down and said "reorientate to fit a GTR" you would expect them to fit!!!!!! :domokun: :domokun: :domokun: :domokun: .

[GTRsean]

GCG...............there's your first problem right there.

Couldn't even get me turbine housings for my GTX's........

Bit of an update;

Got the turbos back this arvo, they said they were out by 10 degrees. Don't know if it was that much but they're fixed. The hot side is complete bar the turbo supports and one water line.

Tomorrow I pick up my balance tube and idle garbage from Hypertune. Too hard to explain so I'll take some pics what I've done.

[D_I_F]

Should have just glued them on..

wasnt it just a simple case of clocking the rear or front covers?

Not the point. I wasn't gonna sit there pulling shit on and off trying to get tr correct angle. I know what you're thinking "it ain't that hard". But with two of them that need to be the correct angle its a pain in arse.

Either way, how did it get messed up? Have a look at the 200 gtr turbos out the back and make it the same.

[SilverECR33]

haha yea, good point. guess it was a friday job
