Trailers, mmm I think we will build one, see exact costing and go from there. I only want a very very basic one. No tyre rack etc. Will be around end of the year I reckon before we look at building on

Am thinking about selling the twins so if anyone is interested send me a pm.

They are twin T3/T4s custom manifold and 48mm turbosmart gate. Will come with filters, oil and water lines and dump pipes.

They need to make way for something bigger :geek:

Ordered my cam cover gaskets, top plenum gasket, manifold gasket, turbo gaskets, cam cover bolt seals (you dont want to know how much they are) dump & exhaust gaskets. Along with my new turbotech, paint for engine bay detailing, timing belt kit and oil pump.

Paid almost all of the money back i owe to everyone and the above the bank balance doesn't look so great :D

Big thanks to BMS for sourcing some of the gaskets for me and looking after me with his sharpest pencil :P

Just picked up the 400r kit so need to get the front bar and guards painted, and hopefully find a carbon bonnet somewhere and put it all bacl together, get the other part of the cross of the side intrusion bars welded in and paintthe inside and it's ready to rock and roll.

My RB20DET is out of the 31 and stripped to a short block now; was inspected this week so I'm waiting on a quote for machining and assembly. Had spun number four big end and number four piston has some damage to a ring land which looks like it probably contacted the head when the slop got great enough.... However the head looks fine, bores etc are pretty good, crank and rod look saveable.

Most likely just a stock rebuild with new genuine pistons and rings, decent bearings. Thinking of going with an N1 oil pump to insure against another oil pump related failure. Few little toys for the outside, bigger injectors, front mount cooler, Nistune board in the ECU etc.

Update for me is i had my car dynoed at boost last week. ive been to bissy helping my new team mate out to post on here much.

specs of the engine are

GTR FMIC

GTR injectors

R34 neo turbo 10psi actuator

custom ic piping.

split dump pipe into 3" straight through exhaust with no mufflers.

GTR power FC

all sitting on a rb25DE

the car pulled 194rwkw with a slipping clutch and was slightly detuned to prolong the life of the clutch which i ended up changing over the weekend so the car got a big birthday.

the car had been tuned before hand by a friend of mine and it felt nice and strong on the 5psi that we were feeding it then.

i am yet to drive the car as its a track only car but i will get to this weekend so im pretty keen to se if there is any difference.

after having it on the dyno ive got the power bug and i want more. its killing me now that without the slipping clutch it could have cracked the 200 mark with would have made me very happy for a budget biuld.

cool. what color will you do it in?

rx7 is progressing slowly, should be faster, but renovating a house and really need to get it sold by oct/nov so we can start building and the car has been put on the back burner. should be finished and racing by years end though.

Hey man,

I have a spare stock clutch if that helps? You can have it.

Sam

thanks mate but i got a new one to save me any more hassels.

i used the car on the weekend and it was brilliant. it was absolutely magical and proformed well all day. so id have to say i am happy with boosts work. the proof is in the car. but in saying that i havent tried any other people so i wont be jumping over the moon about it just yet.

probably do it same blue as the outside, but not put a clear over it so it's not all shiny. hope to have it back on the road by middle of august. just need a new cooler

I did the same with the silver on mine; doesnt glare that way and looks more purposeful than wanktastic!

      RB20DET lean on cold start

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.

      Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?

      Rb20e and RB20DET parts

      By A31Skyline · Posted

      yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.

      Unless my sensor just died, was only a couple months old, I strongly believe it didn't. How can I test it? I never mentioned it being 20:1+?

      Well, you wouldn't use 2nd hand bearings out of another engine anyway....so just buying the proper bearings is obviously what you're going to do. The crankshaft would be common. The conrods might be common. There is essentially nothing else you would be able to use.
