Piglet's Rebuild Of His Busted Tomei 2.8


Recommended Posts

I agree, turn down the wick mate and enjoy...besides, your car is stupidly or cn I say dangerously powerful

slap stocker box in

adjust wastegates to 17pis

enjoy for a long time without issues

will save you 7k

downside is less blokes on here humping your leg due to awesome output

It's at 25 psi man. Hardly "screwing its brains out" and realistically I haven't run over 22 psi at all which is less than what most people run on -5's. if I turn it down I may aswell drop back a turbo size. There are associated costs with doing that too.

sorry to hear bout the box :(

interesting though, with E85 and new turbo tech, starting to really push the boundaries of what street cars would normally have to contend with. Maybe you'll create a market for a street-able bullet proof gearbox option - but you've unwittingly created a bit of a "ceiling" for what people might be considering build wise as well... (With respects to gearboxes)

not sure if it's of much help, but i recently found out i have 33 v-spec ratio diffs (like a god damn kinder surprise this car) soooo... i have a getrag and 33 diffs... if you're in melb anytime soon, you're welcome to take it for a drive if you like, see what you think. She might be a bit slow for you, but she goes alright :D

I believe he is in Vic ATM for DECA this weekend, what revs does it sit on at 110

What timing! I'm actually in Melbourne right now! Thanks for the offer Dan. Flick me your number so we can organise something. That would be fantastic. I've always wanted to launch a Nur spec from 10,000 RPM :P

What a great clip.

that thing is an animal!

Is it just me or does the gear changing sound slow for a sequential box? I don't know much about them so maybe there is a setting for gear change delay.

may the sequential be with you... always

    • 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
