Swiper the Fox

yes new balance pipe manifolds...see

i have a complete HKS GT-RS kit with new balance pipe manifolds that will give you around 700hp at the tyres if you are interested. These things would be nuts on a 2.8 kit. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Fu...html&hl=HKS can also look after build for you as well.

all the best of wishes from the Diemar family.

yeah the impeller (sp*) is a different design on the N1

no problem...you arrange freight...our pick-up postcode is 2290 also forgot to add the plenum comes with 80mm billet throttle body $8000 for long engine only with STD cams and prepped RB26 rods.

nah its the same one...just gave it a good degrease. It must have been replaced by the previous owner...as it had non standard sealer on it as well.

were you aware that the water pump is an N1 item?

ill put them on a disc for you and you can pick it up with the engine

finally this one for a bit of fun...hehe

head assembled and ready for fitting starting to look good, block has had 3 coats of gloss black

ok head studs installed

I think we are all infected by the same disease. on the 2J comment you made... a few weeks ago i was trying to convince Stacey's dad to put a 2Jz into his diesel mercedes BTW your covers look awesome...there is 11 different tinters in Bayside Blue including a lot of white pearl...not a cheap colour to mix.

go on...do it...i have a friend with one for sale...ceramic coated and only done 4 passes.

Left the camera at the shop....will upload some more today

Email from the National distributor "Hi Paul, I am still waiting on final specs and features to be made available. Very soon. I have been assured I will be the first to get one of these things - You will be soon after. This will be by the end of the month. Cheers" wont be long

Excellent post Ian, Yes Scat are a major supplier of VW performance parts (thats where they started from). As their are about a dozen grades of 4340 id say the cheaper products are made from the inferior grade that just meets the SAE or ATM standard. The Spool rods although being Taiwanese made are of such a standard in regard to their finishing tolerances that they would be up to the task in all but the wildest street application. Im unaware of any RB26 engines standard rods failing due to a weakness in their construction. Its always the bolts or the oil supply (or lack of). I made over 450KW at the tyres on STD rods and raced the car for over 3 years and when checked after pulling the engine down they could have been reused as they were in perfect condition. RB26 rods would be adequate in this build but i leave the final choice of rod selection up to the customer. Some people just like new shiny stuff

I was more thinking of a stroker crank for the CA18 engine. Im a big fan of them as they are basically the same design as an RB26 missing 2 cylinders. SR's have significant problems with rocker arms, oil pumps and their open deck block design has issues at high horsepower. A tough CA engine is a great option and in my opinion an often over looked prospect for performance. and im itchin' to build one to prove it.

CP rings are too thin in my opinion...0.8mm top ring and 1.2mm second ring...CP have since addressed this with 1.0mm top ring and 1.5mm second. The earlier versions were permitting too much blow-by for high boost applications as they had a small contact patch with the cylinder wall and sealing was an issue. Dave the rods look great...im a fan already...I beams FTW!

Every single part (or most) on our car has been Jap off the shelf stuff...why?...not because im rich...its because it fits and works everytime. To Alex's defence...he once sold me a plenum that wasn't right...so the next day drove 6 hrs (3 hrs each way) to fix it.

please post landed and delivered price, including freight and tax as soon as it becomes available.

With correctly set-up fuel system and tuning this engine will be good for around 400KW at the wheels. This engine was recently assembled by another workshop but suffered extensive blow-by due to incorrect clearances. He has gone to a full house RB26 so we are rebuilding it correctly and offering it for sale. Any reasonable offer will be considered including discount for exchange engine. As a guide we just built a similar long engine (no turbo, manifold, gate, plenum, injectors and reg.) for NYTSKY that came to around $15000. So this represents significant value for money.

cool...are you by any chance doing stroker cranks for anything other than RB30?

Ill email Scat in the US with a link to this thread. They can confirm or deny what you claim. No doubt about the quality of the product you are selling as even the trained eye cannot pick the difference between the Spool and the Scat product. They were perfectly balanced and tolerances were exact when checked.

Scat are manufactured in america. or is their website full of it? http://www.scatenterprises.com/
