275 Radial R33 Drag Build

[2rismo]

My 25 was half filled and it was fine too.

Come on more block mods for RD28

[2rismo]

They're coming. Waiting for steel caps and girdle, main studs and pistons.

Head back from CNC. They roughed most of the hard stuff out. Now getting measured, hand-finished, all the usual stuff. Valves, seats and whatnot are all there too now and the cams should have arrived in the shop today. Tyres arrived at my place too.

[2rismo]

Oh, forgot the bottom end update;

Spool main caps, girdle and studs arrived and have all gone off to Jack Bros. to be line bored.

[NXTIME]

saweeeeet!

[2rismo]

Cleaned out some of the engine bay today. Took hours. Barely scratched the surface and then one of the bloody wiper arm bolts has corroded itself in. Bugger. Still sooo much crap to remove.

It's not a proper build thread until there's a foot in a photo

Those ports look huge, can't wait to see some results.

They're a tiny bit bigger now and the exhaust is matched to the manifold. Plenty of meat in the 6boost runner/flange to make it perfect. I pick up the new Plazmaman billet runner intake next week. Will be interested to see how much, if any, work that needs.

Ordinary engine builder: "Hey mate, your cams arrived."

My engine builder:

Caps, girdle etc all arrived. Deck given a light machine before going out for line boring at Jack Bros.

geebus, not mucking around with this one hey Adrian. Will be good to see you back on the track

I always wondered what happened to BU 5 STER, i now know

[2rismo]

I've done the street car thing, now I'm doing the race car thing. No water in the block (or between the head and the block, but that comes later), methanol, comp', big boost, 7s.

Buh-five-tah is a legendary car.

Picked up the next piece of the puzzle from Alex and Oyay from Plazmaman Racing.

That inlet manifold would put a horn on a jellyfish

Hahaha! Nice one!

Progress on engine assembly. Got the block back from Jack Bros after a line bore and hone and being tapped for 12mm head studs as well as being fitted for the steel caps.

Osama bin Grindin'.

Needs a couple of thou off everywhere and a few off the thrust. Was too tight everywhere but very consistent (maximum .001 either way of the middle.)

Turbosmart FPR-3000 showed up too. Will be running Siemens 2400s x 12 by the looks of things. There goes $2k.

Has there been any mods to the crank? Apart from linishing for clearances.

[2rismo]

Nope

[zebra]

nice. looks pretty trick out of the box

[2rismo]

CA625 head studs to suit RB26 are here and crankshaft came back from being sized. Just need pistons now and it's game on.
