That's correct

tuned at jez and ran 140mph ?

About 448kw at 24psi

If my stupid build ever finishes or if I don't rage quit and burn the lot I'm going to try beat that mph :)

Cheer up sunshine, you're on the home stretch now. You just gotta keep it together a little longer[emoji12]

How far off are you mate 

Just need the injectors to fit somehow, plenum on, redo the entire oil system (as the old one was filled with bits of metal) and then slot the lot in.

Honestly over it :(

 

Man you need to harden up, this has been a small and quick build by comparison to what goes on around here. 

Stop being so precious, it will make it easier when it throws a rod on the dyno ;)

 

 

 

Okay so besides the fact I can't seem to get ever so popular 1/2 height with extension injectors on, I decided to bend some left over strips of aluminium to fit my obsessively large 25 row Setrab oil cooler than cost as much as my kidney.

Will redo the brackets again once I'm happy with fitment.

(Yes that's a bit of cable ties on the rear end lol)

My injector woes in a thread:

Long story short - don't try and fit 1/2 height injectors to a RB25 NEO intake manifold. Even though they're at the right height using extenders blah blah blah they don't fit. All resellers will tell you they fit, they don't. They are wrong, I am right.

Serious note, if anyone wants to take my car/motor/tools/spares the lot.. I will trade for a BMW 335i F30 or E90 (must have N55 motor) in auto.

Over it.

BMW must have less than 70 000 km/h

  • 2 weeks later...

Nearly defeated but as son of immigrants I will never give up that easily :)

Plenum is now a R33 item, new R33 Plazmaman rail and shit fits now. Turbo housing back on too with a welded elbow, no more blowing off silicone hoses.

Not long to go!

And these engine mounts, was going to get Nismo ones but Phil insisted I get these whilst he ordered a set for his S15. TBH I think they're gay as aids, drove his S15 and could feel engine vibrations through the steering column. But that's a stock bottom, unbalanced S15 so Yeah.

I have urethane mounts on the r34 and the vibration is pretty much unnoticeable after around 500km of driving. Same mounts on a friends evo 6 was a totally different story however.. these will be fine on the Skyline I think

How much movement or flex do those mounts have?

Are you going to put both in or just 1 on passenger side 

They seem to have "some" flex, I'm skeptical. Run both for now, if they're shit I'm going to send it.... Into the bin.

Hopefully, the RB is somewhat more "balanced" than a tractor motor lol.

Hoping to get the motor in this weekend.

    • I swear at my GKTech ones every time I have to take them apart and replace a spherical. But I wouldn't swap them for anything else. They absolutely slay every other option, at least in terms of how they actually work. You sure you don't want to live with bearings? I mean, they don't have "ball bearings". They are rod ends and sphericals throughout. Tough as nuts, even though I have found more than one way to wear them out.
    • From when I was looking at getting the 86 engineered for the turbo, the joint said to put in a few euro 5 or 6 cats, then tune the car on a nice clean E85 tune When I was looking at a turbo for the MX5, it was basically the same thing, a couple of cats and a nice clean tune Although, it will depend on the year of the Jeep IRT emmisions standards required, and what mods are done, especially if it has a newer engine installed that requires a higher Euro
    • Yeah - but it's not actually that easy. There are limits for HC, CO, NOx and particulates. Particulates shouldn't be a concern in any petrol engine unless trying to comply to the very latest Euro standard. But getting a tune right so that all the others stay within limits AT THE SAME TIME is not a trivial exercise. You couldn't possibly get it right by just guessing at the tuner's dyno, unless he had a 4 gas analyser up the pipe, which is not often the case these days. It used to be. Every decent shop that did "tune ups" (as opposed to tuning) would have a 4 gas analsyer. Perhaps there's still quite a few of them around these days. But most "tuners" are only watching O2 and power readings.
    • Slight segway but the most expensive part of the whole thing which I would have thought would only be required for an engine size/type swap, not a VIV test, is emissions testing.  That's when you get into the big bucks.  I can't remember the exact price now but I got quotes for the GT-R based on swapping to RB30 (not that anyone bothers doing it legally anymore...) and it was around $4500 just for that alone.  The guy that does them manipulates the tune on the vehicle to make sure it passes.  The cheaper option is to book into Kangan Batman Tafe (I think that's where it was) and hire their tester.  Allegedly you're not allowed in there with the car though so not in a position to tweak anything to make sure the vehicle passes.  I'm sure in this day and age of ultra tuneable ECU's you could get the tuner to program a special efficiency (clean) tune that emits the lowest amount of particulates possible that would pass the test.  It might only make 50kW's but as long as it passed who cares!
    • I'm sure he has left signs, or, he is looking down, laughing That's my cunning plan for when I leave, lots of half finished projects, with no rhyme or reason of where I was actually up to, just to keep everyone on their toes
