  1. Ok ok, before you flame me, I have read the Power FC FAQs. This is an Apexi Power FC D-Jetro for and RB26/30 in an S14. Engine starts and idles fine with the stock ECU, plug in the Power FC, and it just starts and immediately dies. I have turned the boost control feature off. I am using 1000cc injectors and have set the injectors to 44%. I am using the GM 3 bar map sensors, which have not been calibrated in the hand controller because apparently I need a dataloggit. I have the signal wires of the map sensors going into pins 27 (black wire) and 35 (orange wire). I have checked all power and ground connections, all are ok. Anyone have any incite into this? Would be greatly appreciated.

  2. I am coming down to the nitty gritty part of this build. I have just about finished the dry sump RB26 oil pan. But, I have a question for all you RB30 guys......

    Would it be beneficial in adding the RB26 girdle windage trays to the RB30 girdle? Has anyone done this? Would this be a bad thing or not?. I'm thinking that with the RB26 oil pan bolted to the RB30 block, the windage properties would be nearly the same as the RB26. So I thought about drilling and tapping the RB30 girdle for the trays.

    What do you guys think?

  3. Here is the template that I promised everyone. It is in PDF Adobe Acrobat format. Just print it out. Then measure from side to side and top to bottom and compare it to my measurements. If they are off, just blow it up or shrink it until your measurements equal mine. The bolts holes don't need to be super accurate as the bolt head and washers will take care of the slack. The holes I have marked are dead on with my template. The two larger holes need to be big enough for a M10 bolt to go through, and the three smaller holes need to be big enough for a M6 bolt to go through.

    I actually have the one I have pictures of for sale if anyone would like to purchase it. I made another copy and I am using it.

    I'll let it go for $60 USD shipped to you in Australia, England, etc......Just shoot me a PM or post on here.

  4. am i missing something but what are you doing about a water pump?

    The water pump still bolts to where it goes. Look at the bracket I made. It has indentions for the water pump mounting ears. The template I made for the bracket had the water pump mounted to the block so I knew where it went and the curves/mounts it had. When I'm at the shop again, I'll take a pic of it with the water pump on.

  5. Being in the USA, RB30 blocks are hard as hell to get here. I found one, ordered it, freighted it, and received it. All looked great, even had the original hone marks. All was great until the timing cover was removed. My block didn't have the machined flat area for the relocated tensioner. So I came up with this idea. The plate sits where the old tensioner was located and goes across to the flat surface that the timing cover sits on. Those two surfaces are flat and level with each other. The plate bolts down to the block with the original tensioner hole and 6mm stud hole, and two new holes were drilled and tapped where the a/c compressor bolts are. The tensioner bolts down to a large washer that sits on the aluminum plate. The tensioner was machined down the thickness of the washer and the aluminum plate. See anything that might go wrong with this?

  6. And what are you doing with the cam covers and venting? Are you just capping off the valve covers and PCV, completely sealing the engine, then just venting the oil tank?

    I have already tapped the oil dipstick hole and installed a barb fitting that I will attach a vacuum regulator to, or just a simple piece of hose with variable size restrictors in it to regulate sump vacuum/pressure.

  7. There was also a 1.85mm friction disk that was included with the kit, I guess for differences in stack height. We left that one out and just threw all the 1.75mm friction disks in. I would assume that the larger disk would increase the break-away torque, which may result in a clunkier diff in parking lots and such. After I get the car running, I'll let everyone know it was successful or a failure lol......
