Piglet's Rebuild Of His Busted Tomei 2.8


Recommended Posts

Bonnet was up today so I thought i'd take a happy snap. Fuse box cover was off and also the cam gear + valley cover was off but this is what 470 rwkw looks like.

you should try and get the nismo air cleaner for your car (although I think you may need nismo intake pipe to match :O)

Besides that the engine bay is really nice (I like the nismo plenum)

Nah, bugger that pipe. So expensive.

Ill get another photo this week with all the covers on. Looks so much more complete!

Hey Paulie,

Next time you have the snorkle off can you take a pic and send it to me? I've been meaning for ages to put the stock airbox back in and delete my Pods. But like you I don't have AFM's anymore.

Thanks.

Out of interest, I appreciate that no two engines are alike but any thoughts on the Tomei 2.8L kit vs Step 0 or Step 1 HKS Kits?

Depends on what the cars going to be used for really, I am using the HKS Step Zero in mine and it's all good so far

One for Robbo. :)

This one is an interesting one. This is my first ever tune with the GT RS's about 4 years ago and this current setup. I'm making the RS "peak torque" numbers at the end of my graph now.

This just goes to show how inferior the GTR's are compared -5's.

That first graph of yours Paul is just incredible. Congrats again on such a great tune and set-up mate.

If its another Dart build, it should be good for a long time yet Nick

Thanks mate :)

Was out there today obviously. Yavuz was doing the light/medium load stuff. One of two more bulldog power runs then the they will work there way down through the petrol blends.

Question. For those of you who have removed the standard heat exhcanger, what did you do with the oil temp sensor? Pressure is sweet as we can put them into the sammich plate.

my temp sensor goes into the 2nd bung on my sammich plate as I has no heat exchanger crap

I'm having a pressure sensor back to the ECU, so that will be off that port you put your temp into.

    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work 
    • You can just get the injector bosses, which allows top feeds to fit. He can use the same injectors without issue, like these (another option): https://rocketindustries.com.au/af59-2210-rb25-fuel-injector-inserts     The Racework ones look a bit better: https://www.nzefi.com/product/raceworks-lower-injector-mounting-boss-kit-for-r33-rb25det-s14-s15-sr20det/   You could also just get a similar kit like the Radium one by Plazmaman: https://plazmaman.com/product/nissan-rb25det-r33-billet-fuel-rail/?srsltid=AfmBOoogfYq49X0fu2Wdbf8yOf6zt9egyPAif_gn3Qr3G8hzAphhTgOkO70
