Does anybody know any good companies that can do engine transport from NSW to Brisbane? I need an engine picked up from Taree, but don't know if it's best to use an every day courier, or if there is someone better. Anyone with any experience in this that can help me out?

Thanks

It would need to have all the fluids drained and the ports etc sealed up as they do not want anything leaked onto the truck.... If you can get it strapped to a pallet etc you will have a better chance with most transport companies....

I dont know of any off the top of my head, but thought id mention about the oil etc.....

I used http://www.e-go.com.au/ to get my alfa motor from melbourne.

Did depot-to-depot, so old mate loaded it onto a pallet for me with all the fluids drained etc and took it to the depot, and then i picked it up from the brisbane depot.

I think they also do door-to-door, but you need to have a facility for loading/unloading the pallet (e.g. forklift)

Tracking left a lot to be desired but other than that good value and it didn't go missing.

Cheers guys. It's from a workshop so I'm sure the bloke will know to drain it. Smits I'll give those boys a call. It's being delivered to a workshop too, so unloading won't be a drama :)

Workshops wont generally have a forklift or anything unless its a wrecker or similar BUT they should have some muscle to unload it..... Check at both ends before you try send it ;)

      RB25 S2 Idles but doesn't want to rev

      By Trilbyte · Posted

      Update for the sake of closure   Ended up getting the intercooler piping all sorted, new plugs and yellow jacket coils, and she was idling mint until it warmed up while I was bleeding the cooling system. Found the misfire to be localised to cyl 3 by unplugging coilpacks, ran a compression test, that checked out, then decided to get a mate to check if that spark plug was firing out of the motor. Upon cranking it over, with the injectors disconnected, the car actually fired and ran on a couple cylinders and heaps of fuel came out the top of cyl 3 I'd say that injector's either spraying incorrectly or spraying far too much, which is fine as I'm planning on replacing them anyway I'm planning on making about 250kW on flex fuel, and have a set of 1000cc injectors from ozautosport, obviously overkill but I'm planning on building the motor and running more boost further down the line, do you reckon they'd be too big for a smooth idle on 98? Thanks for the replies gents, much appreciated

      Nice modern Hypergear high flow would be perfect.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I'm confused. You said you want to "remove the clear coat from most panels" but it sounds like you are actually doing a full respray? Few random things to add -  If you chase the blistered paint with 120 grit, I can almost guarantee you'll chase it down to bare metal (that's fine). But if you paint the car from here, you'll have nice little indents where ever the blistered paint was. The new paint won't magically level out the low areas, you need to fill them. Which leads me to the main point I wanted to add, make sure the whole car is flat before you paint it. All those areas with blistered paint you sanded out, make sure to fill them and triple check they are flat with a block guide coat. I'd also check the whole car is flat with a large block and guide coat but yeah up to you if you want to go that far.

      300hp (225kw) is barely outside the standard turbo's range with a bit of extra boost in it (200ish). If you are going to change the turbo you should aim for 250-300kw (330-400hp) to make the expense worthwhile

      A couple of things, firstly omg that turbo is expensive! $3,000 USD for dinosaur technology is robbery. You could buy a G series turbo and have a good amount of change instead.  If you want a good budget option, have a look here - https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/ If you are keen to spend more, have look at the modern turbos, Garrett G series, Borgwarner EFR, etc. Have a look at the RB25 dyno results thread for inspiration.  If you upgrade your turbo to something that will support the 300hp you want and only "probably" have Haltech ECU, your car will only "probably" run. Actually, no it won't run. You are going to need the ECU and injectors at the time you do the turbo upgrade.  No thoughts on "this much boost" as you didn't say how much boost that actually is. Having said that, plenty of unopened RB25's making even more power then what you are chasing.
