GOT SUM's RB34

[klutched]

Got the bay done yesterday after work! Not a fun job pulling the loom out with everything still attached... Car's almost ready to go to painter now. I want to weld up the stock intercooler holes so we have no drama drilling new one later. Ideally I'd like to get motor in with manifolds and turbo on and mock up piping and cut holes etc and then get it painted. Will see what happens though. 

Need to degrease the bay and give it a good clean with the gurney. My powersteering has been leaking for a while so its covered in oil..

So she went off to the painter on Wednesday. Should be ready mid next week ? start putting all the stuff back into the bay and get the loom all cleaned up ready to go.

Ordered plazmaman 100mm intercooler, 72mm throttlebody and flange to weld onto the greddy intake and a few 3" plazmaclamps. Hopefully be here in the next few weeks and start mounting it up.

Machinist sent me a snap of the block today. Action pic getting the mains ready for girdle ?

[klutched]

Cars almost done at painters just baking atm. Comes home tomorrow ?

6boost is finished as well so should get it soon. Also ordered a RIPS NZ sump which will be here in the next couple weeks ?

twin gates out the bonnet please

Car came back today! Super happy with how it turned out! Makes me wanna respray the whole thing ? 

Got a few things back in today, auto brake pedal, booster and throttle cable all done so rest of it is engine bay work now. Tomorrow I'll plumb the A/C, bring wiring harness back through the guard and put the headlights back in.

Progress is happening slowly. Got almost everything back in the bay now. Decided I'm going to delete the fuse box and make it look nice somehow. Also put in a new universal washerbottle instead of the hideously massive stock item. Heres the car as she sits. 

Pulled the loom apart to add/remove anything we wont be using, going to give it a makeover with some nice sleeving and reroute wiring into the guards to keep it looking clean! Few more wires and stuff to add for additional sensors and thing then start depinning and sleeving it all! Should be a fun time.... not!

RIPSNZ sump is on the way, should be here this week/early next week! Thing looks nice ? Can't wait to bolt it all up!

Last but not least new pistons! Couple bores were a bit out of wack so stepping it up to a 86.5 9:1CR. Should bump it up nicely from the 8.5:1 pistons that were in it. Dropped them off at machinist tonight, rotating assemblys off to balancer this week and the blocks going for a bore and acid dip to clean it up nicely ? Should only be a couple weeks away now!

Maatouks, you boys watch out. 

[klutched]

So been working on the wiring harness the last few weeks. Im pretty happy with how it turned out for what it is. I think id rather do a brand new loom then resleeve a stock one again ?

In the go fast department motor is almost due back! Head will be finished this week coming and block should be the week after. Got bored and honed for new pistons last week and balanced rotating assembly this week. Waiting on spool to get more L19 rod bolts back in stock so we can get rod bearing clearances set.

That engine bay looks great even before the main show is installed.

Rod bolts and bearings ordered yesterday, engine builder is really busy atm and said should be all done by end of next week  Also dropped my sump down to be painted black which should be ready in a couple of days.

I pulled my fuel pump out of the tank then decided to get a surge tank instead of modifying the stock hat. Ordered an AI SP1200. Will make it a lot easier if i have to put a 3rd pump in if we need more fuel. I'll be running hardline in boot and remove the factory lines to run twin 1/2" hardlines to engine bay then split the feed to twin -6 to feed the rail. Using these billet clamps to fix it to the body should look nice and semi stock. 

Wiring is coming along pretty good! Finished sleeving the lot then forgot to bring the wires down for the crank trigger so ill have to pull it apart and do that then thats its for the loom! I hope... i didnt like the look of just heatshrink for finished product so got sum sleeving and came up 10x better! Looks a lot nicer now.

Got my sump back today and dropped 26 covers off to get a freshen up  should look mint once its all in!

Approve of new thread title. Tits[emoji106]

Sooo this happened tonight.... Excuse my ugly mug.

Its a Precision 7675 BB with a 1.12 rear housing. Should suit the 3.4 nicely me thinks

[admS15]

You can now say you have a turbo thats bigger than your head, lol. Should make some decent woosh noises.

[klutched]

Yeah shes a big one hahah! It was making 910whp on a 2.8 GTR. Should get pretty close to my goal I think

Since the turbos black already I'm going to f**k the polished intake off and go black as well. Should come up nice ?
