Sorted some little bits and pieces out today. Got the right size clamps to fix my loom to the firewall and used the existing screws to mount them. Pretty happy with how it looks. Not the best photo but you get the idea. Got the rest of the fittings I needed to finish plumbing up my vacuum and wastegate lines and made up the last line I needed to the solenoid that I tapped into the back of the compressor cover. That was the last thing to do on the passenger side until we start on cooler piping so I mounted the catch can for good as well. My bonnet strut kit also finally arrived so I got that all prepped for when we put the bonnet back on which will probably be after tuning. Then had a crack at throwing the gearbox in. Had so much difficulty doing it as I didn't have the converter seated all the way so it would hit the flex plate and wouldnt go on any further. Managed to get it to seat all the way after taking it in and out a few times trying to do it. I went ahead and hooked up the shifter cable but it was a bit stiff the shift so I checked out the shifter and because of the new bellhousing it doesn't line up nicely anymore. So I've got to mod this one to suit the new position and we should be all good. I think im going down to the shop tomorrow so ill finish off the box and get that all sorted. Gotta put the converter bolts in, make new bracket, do up tailshaft bolts, put on flexplate cover and put the starter motor back in and connect it all back up. Also still need to finish wrapping the screamers. And i might as well put the pressure sensor clips on and get them all ready to go for when the plenum comes. Might finish off the inside as well if I get time. It's 1 wire i need to change out behind the dash.... Hypertune is killing me waiting for this shit... I really hope I can get my car going before christmas...

Got a little bit more done today. Coilpack wiring come up alright. Also removed the water washer bottle as it wont work with the 3.5" cooler piping. I'll get a smaller one and mount it in thdre eventually. End up jacking the car up and pulling the box out. Of course I forgot the auto trans fluid so I couldn't put the converter in but test fit it to make sure it'd be ok. And because I'm special I left my flexplate and cover on my old engine so I had to steal a spare bellhousing cover off my mate that I'll have to mod to suit the auto. So that's tomorrows job. Get the box all mounted and shifter hooked up. I'll also pull of that second screamer and wrap it. Called hypertune again, theyre still waiting for it. They have another batch being picked up tomorrow so if its in that we might get it this week...

My new coilkit came today from Billet coil kits/Godzilla Motorsports. It's their new 2000hp+ highoutput coils. Wish they were black instead of grey but it still doesn't look too bad. Might get cracking on the wiring tomorrow. Kudos sent the correct spigot bush up today, so I'll put that in tomorrow if I get time and the hoist is free.

Go spool and spend extra on upgrading to l19 bolts and bigger pins and towards other stuff for the build. Im running Spool RB34, Spool I beams CP pistons, upgraded bolts and pins. Planning on spinning it to 8500-9000 and close to 1000hp. JEM's 34 is making 1400HP i think with spool 3.4 and Rigoli is running a Spool 3.2 running 6's. I think spool has a bigger stroker aswell?

Got the hotside sorted today for good Just gotta tighten up a few nuts when i put the car back on the hoist as access from the top for the bottom nuts isnt good. I also got some more 25mm heat wrap for the second screamer as we ran out on the long screamer. So I'll pull that off tomorrow and wrap it up to help prevent melting stuff! Installed my beanie as well. Doesn't look too bad I dont think. Also went through and tightened up all the fittings on the turbo and wastegates. I need to go get 2 more fittings and some line for the turbo to solenoid line and the FPR to plenum once that gets here. My spigot bush turned up as well but turns out they sent me a manual one so theyve sent me out an auto one which should get here wednesday and I'll get it up on the hoist and put the converter in and finish up the gearbox. I called hypertune on Friday and they said everything's done except for plenum powder coating which is due back early this week, so hopefully I'll get that stuff by the end of the week and we can get stuck into the rest of the fab! Been lazy lately and not getting stuck into the small stuff that needs to be done. Still need to pull the power steer pump off and mod it for the hose and also to bring it forward to match the rb26 balancer. Little bit of wiring shuffle in the cab so we can manipulate the speedo so it reads correct instead of roughly double. Coilpack kit is coming in the morning as well. Changed to a raw bracket with Godzilla's custom coilpacks rated to 2000hp+ which I'll also install tomorrow and depending on how much time I have I might start on the loom as well.

Few goodies arrived this week... No not hypertune cause theyre useless... Been 3.5 weeks and now they wont reply to emails.... My spal fan, t4 gasket and converter arrived though. Pulled turbo off today but waiting until I get the exhaust manifold washers before I put the turbo back on as access isnt the best. Tomorrow I'll pull the box out and throw the converter in and finish up everything there and put all the hot side on as well for good. Really annoyed with hypertune atm.... I just want to know when I'm getting my stuff. Great service when theyre taking your money but terrible once theyve done that considering they said its almost ready for shipping last week which was obviously not true.

Engineer made my new revised gearbox mount for me today and it fits up mint! Also found my gktech gearbox mount when I was cleaning out the garage yesterday so decided to throw it in. Also picked up my tailshaft that I got shortened 15mm and balanced. Fits up perfectly now. Just waiting on converter which should be here thursday and then the box can be bolted up for good. Finished off the exhaust today as well. All welded up now ready to rumble! Really happy with how it's turned out. Dat ass

Yeah mate, if we have to I'll set them up like my old dump pipe so they can both plumb and vent. Will be a little trickier with 2 of them though.

We did a little bit of work on her today. Got the rest of the exhaust welded up. Only thing to weld now is the muffler piece onto the catback as the cracks tacked off and we didnt wanna move the cars around today to get it onto the hoist to check its in the right position. Also wrapped half the dump pipe and the front screamer. Need to get a little bit more to do the back screamer but there isn't much to do on it. Im not 100% happy with it in a couple spots but I cbf pulling it off to redo it as its a prick to do. Not bad for my first time. Screamer looks schmicko though! Few pics for you all Edit: I just ordered my spal 16" 3000cfm fan and also got a bonnet strut kit

Sold /thread

Picked up my 6boob from ceramic coating and also got my gearbox mount. Manifold looks sexual now! Unfortunately engineered fkd up the mount a little bit and didnt make the holes that mount to the crossmember to the dimensions i specified, so he's making me up a new and improved slimmer one with adjusted measurements on it. Other than that it is perfect. Gonna bring the block size down a bit as its way bigger than it needs to be. Injectors came but still waiting on the hypertuneee. Next week will be go time as my converter will be here and hopefully hypertune will rock up too.

Gearbox adapter rocked up today, so I slapped it together. Measured the height the converter needs to be and matches what SDE have on record. Unfortunately he wont get it done till next week so I miss out on roll racing on saturday It's a nice bit of kit from dominator converters. Bolted the box up and had a look what we need to do for mounting it now that it's pushed 20mm further back. Quick design and came up with this. It should allow us to retain the factory auto crossmember. Hopefully my measurements all line up ?? In other news, hypertune said the stuff is almost ready for shipping. Injectors should arrive tomorrow, not that I can put them on yet Also should hear back from the ceramic coater tomorrow as well. Found a driveshaft shop near by so I'm going to also pop in there and see if they can shorten my shaft for me. Then off to engineering shop to see if they can machine the gearbox adapter up for me in a reasonable timeframe.

So I picked up an rb30 bellhousing in the weekend. Unfortunately it didn't bolt up to my existing adapter so I sold the old one and ordered a new one this morning which should get expressed up tonight. Hopefully get it tomorrow and measure the converter height and get that finished off and sent up and also send my tailshaft off to be shortened to suit the new bellhousing. Still waiting on hypertune stuff to arrive. Fingers crossed they pull their finger out and get it up here this week so we can finish her off. Tested the fuel system for leaks, had a couple leaks from the surge tank hardlines. Pulled them off and tighened them up and nothing so far. Will give it a good testing tomorrow arvo and run the pumps for a little bit. Wired up the wideband to the ecu as well, just gotta route the cable out to the can-lambda module in the bay and that's the last bit to go out. Once the intake manifold is on, I might mess around a little bit with the harness and make it neater if we have time. Ordered intake gasket, cas seal and the oil filter housing seal and oring from kudos so should have that wednesday. Should be an interesting week ??

Im using the cams in my new 26 head.

Yeah mate, -10/-12 adapter with -12 pushlock and -10 90*

$2250

Not much going on at this point. Pulled hot side out and welded up the mani and sent off for ceramic coating, should be back mid next week. Pulled the motor out yesterday to do the head drain and also fix the heater hoses to the wall then dropped it back in. Everything is getting bolted in now for good. Might head down today and finish welding the exhaust and wire in the wideband and a few other things to get it ready. Little bits and pieces to sort out here and there. Have to mod powersteering pump and bring it forward to suit the rb26 ATi damper and also work something out to bring the powersteering hose straight off the pump to run to the resi in it's new location. Had a couple dramas with the gearbox situation... My new converter has been made but my converter height I need is too small for him to finish it off. So I need to source an rb30 jatco bellhousing which is about 20mm longer than my rb25(?) one and possibly an adapter to suit. Then have to my tailshaft shortened to suit and remount the gearbox. Probably dreaming a bit to get it done by next weekend now... Also still waiting in hypertune stuff to rock up.

Selling my Built supertech solid converted RB25 Head. Just been serviced, had the following work done: Cleaned Skimmed Camshaft tunnel honed 5 angle valve race seat cut Valve stem seals Ontop of that it has: Big port job 1mm valves Bronze valve guides Titanium retainers Clearanced for big cams Has been welded up for 30 bottom Just needs a set of GTR RB26 cams and she's good to go. Came off my RB34 making 697whp Located Virginia North Brisbane QLD Can arrange post at buyers expense.

Exhaust is almost finished! It's currently all tacked together, so tomorrow it will be getting welded up, along with fixing up the screamers. Exhaust turned out awesome. Mate wanted a cannon not an oval muffler so I got a cannon to put on. Surprisingly the 4" system sits up really nicely! It's probably got about 140mm clearance under it. It does have stock suspension though. This weeks game plan is tomorrow pull box off and get measurement for new converter then that is ready, finish welding up exhaust and manifold then prep motor to come out for head drain. Thursday take mani off to get coated, install head drain and plumb to sump. Going to order a spal 16" 3000cfm fan to put on my current rad that will bolt onto the hypertune radiator when I get sround to getting one. Hypertune said they should have stuff to me next week. Next week will be a bit of a push to get it all done rear for roll racing on saturday but we will see how we go.

We'll only be revving it to around 8500rpm, depending if it's still making power or not. I know JEM rev's theirs 9500rpm.

Want to keep the bay as clean as possible and clutter free. Cherrs mate, can't wait to drive it! Went down to the shop and got a bit more done today. Gates are almost complete. Just need to get some more pipe to replace the straight bits and make them a bit longer. Once that's done we'll weld them all up and finish welding everything on the manifold and send it off for coating. Got some billet clamps for the -3 fittings aswell. Looks shit hot compared to a ziptie ?? Also got the 90 welded onto comp cover and hole cut a bit bigger to suit. Gotta wait for hypertune gear to come so we can work out what we need as there will be a clamp going before it 90s down.

Few little small things done today, cleaning lines and double checking over stuff. Surge tank is now 100% put clamps on pumps inside tank and put the oring in. Got my wideband module mounted nice and stealthy location. Next week I've got to pull through 4 wires for it and get my mate to hook it up into the ecu. Pulled my booster off aswell and dropped it down to my painter. Had it back in a couple hours. Flipped it aswell so theres no big dirty hose running across the top. Finished off FPR. Line will get connected once plenum in is. Also threw a hose clamp on the hardline to give it a bit of support off the body. Custom cat got made up today and went and picked that and a few flanges up and got stuck into the exhaust. Dump pipes all welded up now. Jks lol fake cat! We have made up the next little part of the exhaust but unfortunately exhaust shop only got sent the 3 instead of 4 flanges. So monday we'll get the other flange and also the magnaflow muffler.

Finished the turbo drain and coolant hoses today. Come up pretty nicely, ive just gotta get some hose clamps and mount them to the firewall as I've deleted the factory plastic mount. Mate also finished welding up the dump pipe as well. Got a super high flow cat being made up tomorrow and I'll grab a couple flanges and we can keep going with the rest of the exhaust. Plan is to finish the exhaust off and finish welding everything up on the manifold so we can pull the motor out to fit up intake manifold and head drain. Drop motor back in see if it runs and no leaks then fab up intercooler piping which shouldnt be too bad.
