Awesome Benny - love it!

 Thanks mate, good to see you're still keeping an eye on the build!!

Interestingly, the boost controller read 729ps, which must have been before the Prostock build.

The boost controller is now being chucked in the bin in lieu of a MAC VALVE

I can only assume the owner eventually sold it as he realised not having that much power wasn't for him.

I think down the road, we'll all be seeing a big EFR strapped to this lead sled.

Of course - haven't been around much lately - got some work stuff I'm dealing with - but I'm subscribed to your thread as I love the car.....

I'll be posting soon - have a potential project in the garage (car that I imported when I got mine for a guy that has come back to me) ;)

Can't keep both ... so we'll see what happens....

TRP Rigoli have finished working their magic, the don mega fuel system full of their custom bits is done & so is their custom crank trigger setup.

This should pepper the car nicely ready for EFR life down the track....

Fuel system and crank trigger bits look good, I also thought that looked like an angle grinder job lol

What's up with all the filth and surface rust in your bay? Consider removing engine when you do the turbo swap and cleaning it all up. will lift the car a lot. 

Slideshow was severely lacking Benny, no dyno runs, no drive bys, no tacho hitting red line etc. Actually... no video content at all 0_0

Image result for son i am disappoint

I was talking about the pic that shows the holes coming through near the subframe but somehow thought that was an engine bay shot? WTF lol

What's the plan for the surface rust underneath gonna clean/paint it all up? Would look amazing done. 

Are they actual bulk head fittings or was there just a hole cut through the sheet metal?

 

Lol hmmm No plans to address surface rust there. If I was buying a car I’d rather see it....As soon as something gets painted over I would think the worst. 

I need to bring the car into the 21st century with more mechanical mods first anyway. Despite the fact the car hasn’t been tuned yet, I’m already saving my pennies for an EFR8374 or EFR8474 setup. 

I also thought Dan had lost his mind... 
The surface rust isn't bad, but i'd be keeping an eye on it, just in cases.

The longer you leave surface rust the longer it gets the chance to become deep rust. 

Get it cleaned up, painted over, and seal the metal from the elements to prevent further rust. 

 

It also concerns me, you said this was all rebuilt in 2016, yet there is surface rust in a few pictures underneath it. 

My POS has less surface rust under it and it sat in a field, on a farm, for the past 2 years, and also went 1.8M under water in a flood during that time, not to mention just sitting around for years. I'm wondering what the rebuild hid or more so, it's life after the rebuild. Crazy salt roads?

    • Use a 2' length of hose (that's 2 foot, not 2 inches) as a stethoscope to localise the source of the ticking. From cam covers? From exhaust or turbo manifold gasket? From injectors? From lower down in the engine? Etc. Use a timing light to set the timing. Put Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the box. It's not the very best thing for the box, but it will take a box that refuses to engage a gear with other oil, and make it engage a gear. I had to put it in when I installed the R33 box I have in my car. It would not select ANY gear when running. Smurf jizz made it work. That was >10 years ago and I still use it. I'm stuck with it now. Failing that - rebuild the box.
    • Well done Duncan. The fuel tank bulkhead lid is also in great condition (some of mine were stuffed). These are now out of production and good ones like that are becoming hard to come by.
    • Wow that's a steal, you've done well there.

    • Howdy all,   I had my rb25det S2 rebuilt and finally started it today but have run into a few issues  Engine sounds like a a diesel easiest way to summarise like small ticking, gets louder when revs are slightly adjusted  The engine builder repainted the engine cover leaving no where for me to go off with lining up the CAS so have it as central as possible so not sure it that could be affecting it?, changed the gearbox fluid too but won’t seem to go into gear when running, and only 1 to 4 when off having a hard time finding 5th and reverse anyone got any ideas or a base for me to start off? much appreciated
