Hey everybody,

Im looking to design and 3D print an RB25 Coilpack Cover. However when I when I purchased my engine years ago the previous owner had bought a custom cover with his personalized lazer cut text for it which he wanted to keep as a memento, and I didn't mind because I planned to eventually go with 26 covers which I now own but haven't installed since the engine will be in & out several times for fab. But now I'd like to have one just to keep out any contaminants, but I'd prefer to design and print my own instead because it will never be used in the running car, and it's a good excuse just to make something. Which is why I wanted to ask if anyone could please provide me with the covers measurements? I would need the Length, Width and Depth, the diameter of the holes, and the distance between each of the holes. Once I finish designing and printing the model I'll make the files available and free to anyone who may want them. Thanks.

I would have thought it's too hot there for almost all 3D printing plastics.

That's definitely true but for my purpose temperature wouldn't be an issue as I only intend to use the coil cover to prevent anything from getting into the spark plug valley/wells while the car sits or is trailered. But for anyone else's use case it would be handy as simple template to trace around and cut out of whichever material, or the 3D model it's self can serve as a base to work from to modify the design as seen fit and machine or either cast using by the printed part as sand mold.

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
