not that I have been much help at all but good on ya mate sounds like the labour was worth it, im sure you have helped as many that have helped you

how did she go, is it just in good running order or completely cranking?!!

[someonestolecc]

I don't know your story nor your particular pain, but having my car off the road for 90% of the time I've owned it and having it engineered + rego'ed last month and still off the road I know how it feels. I did a few "maccas" runs myself.

Good on ya mate. pics please

well like the engine has bee fully apart so just idled it for bout 30 min tto work it in gave it a little kick in the balls and it scared the shit out of me....lol only at like 5 pound very not used to it ive been driving a shit house VB commodore for the 10 months while i have been building this so i spose any thing would scare me

umm just have to bleed up the brakes up a bit more and get the rest of the exhaust made (only 3 inch dump at the moment) then ill flaush the oil out tomorrow put tthe motul in her

but yeah smiles from ear to ear i cant sleep noe im excitted its going for a check up tomorrow!!

i made a promise to myself that after it is running that i would never touch anotherspanner for 6 months im sick of the shit so ill pay someone to have a good look over do a safety inspection

then its off to the engineer to get it passsed

then a blue slip

then rego

woohooo!!

[klh6686]

what all do you have upgraded and what is your rwhp/rwkw goals? i have an rb20 in a S13 hatch in america. Thanks!

looking tough mate,

what turbo and manifold do you have on there?

[blackrb20silvia]

turbo is T3/T4 sorta anyway

its slightly bigger than some T3/T4's ive seen its off a 6.5 ltr turbo diesal Chevy pick up

(like the ambo's but a 98 model)

manifold is cutom made to suit this turbo and fit in bay

custom 3 inch dump

intercooler

Xtreme clutch heavy duty

externall gate

GTR pump

malpassi fuel reg (not yet fitted)

ummm oh shit its been so long i forget whats there but thats the main things anyway

im hoping for anything over 200 kw ATW at the moment and ill be really happy

not yet dynoed only got it to run last night so she a little piggy at the moment but its there and it kicks you in the arse hard when it hits boost

but i have the engineer over by the end of week so should be on the road next week

fingers crossed

Thats a IHI turbo rebadged as a Borg Warner turbo. think early 90's A'PEXi aftermarket stuff, and thats what you've got

[blackrb20silvia]

yeah i know its a IHI its not rebadged IHI made them in conjuction with borg warner

in house at borg warner technoligies what you cant see is that on the turbo it has BORG WARNER/IHI

here it shows

[R32-GTS]

Looks like an older style rx6 turbo so should be a good thing. Let me know what power it makes.
