Piglet's Rebuild Of His Busted Tomei 2.8


Recommended Posts

So are you going to bring it to Texi in June?

And some of these expensive batteries, all it takes is one full drain to kill 'em. I had the same thing happen to my Red Top. Next time I'm just getting a big sealed unit from Big-W. Cheaper in the end even if I have to replace it every two years.

My current battery I bought one a UPS sealed jobbie off a guy here on the forums. Not bad, but could use a bit more current.

this is the website/ebay place I got it from

http://stores.ebay.com.au/ALL-PURPOSE-BATTERIES-ONLINE/12-volt-batteries-/_i.html?_fsub=134846119&_sid=230461229&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322

they have actual store in Smeaton grange, go to the lithium batteries section in the left column, super start or ultra lite

the one I have I have let go dead 4-5 times now, I keep forgetting to undo the isolation connection on the terminal, charged it and take car for a drive and it's still working

and I most certainly want a ride in this monster :D

Talking to Yavuz today. He wants to try and squeeze 500 out of this setup. Airbox in place. He reckons there is a little left in it. Lets see how the little Turk goes. I don't think it'll get there

You may have to run this engine in operating hours

The amount of fuel Yavuz uses I'm sure it's safe. I have always said " I don't want it unless I can belt it around a track". It's not a one run screamer! That 472 is only after 9 runs from a totally new ECU. It's hardly "the finished product".

I Don't see why it won't be capable of 500rwkw

I had 1 2860r-5 on my sr and it made 251rwkw at Unigroup on 21psi dropping to 19psi and he thought itll make more power on more boost

SR versions are different to RB26 versions. We have a smaller rear housing.

I simply fail to understand this? 472rwkw is a sh!t load already.

Stop wasting time with the dyno, spend the money on new tyres, battery, diff or whatever it is that you need to drive it and enjoy it Paul!

are the v-spec and non v-spec diffs the same width ?, I thought not cause I was expecting to change the CVs as well but I could be wrong

Some guys you need shafts, others say you don't. I'm a little confused myself.

When I get the housing and diff centre (this week hopefully) ill take it to Award and plonk it on the table.

You shouldn't need to do shafts, the diffs are same width hub to hub and the shafts are the same length.

Just finished sorting out A-LSD delete in a mates 33gtst using a non vspec gtr diff so had everything there to compare.

The sperm whale got strapped to the rollers tonight. Light load tuning of the E85 tune then Yavuz worked his way down to PULP. Final figure on PULP was 425 at 23 psi top end (25 early on). It was making close to 435 but he backed it off. Final cold start on 98 tomorrow, drain tank and one or two more runs on E85. Yavuz brought back the tune on E85 a bee's dick just to make sure it's a happy camper. He said around 460 it should make.

Pick up is tomorrow :D.

    • 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
