UPDATE!!! well i got my car mildly tuned only on wastegate spring pressure 10psi but creeps to 13psi and made around 250ish rwkw. (i expected less) my Tuner said just do drive it for another 500-600km just on that boost, driving it normal and giving it a bit but nothing too extreme. Still looking forward to the full tune at 23-25psi should be within couple of weeks, cant wait!! -

well yesterday i dropped my head, block, pistons, rods, crank, clutch+flywheel, harmonic balancer all to be cleaned and balanced at ADVANCED ENGINE RECONDITIONERS in salsbury - block is going to receive a deep clean paint, dirt etc etc - will also deck the block 2 or 3 thou - Bore and hone 20thou - Balance everything - crank is going to be machined and a crank collar is going to be fitted - Head is going to be cleaned and faced should be all done by the end of next week I also bought a new rb30 water pump, sump gasket, manifold gasket and few other things. So while all that is being done i sandblasted my turbo compressor housings and my engine mounts. i also cleaned out and painted alternator, starter motor. and exhaust manifoild in heat proof paint the paint is fresh thats y it may look a bit funny compressor housing sandblasted looks better than black all assembled ready for 25psi of boost now we just play a waiting game for the block and all -

HO HO HO MERRY CHRISTMAS, well it felt like christmas today i got my engine rebuild kit pistons, rods, bearings, headgasket thanks to Brad from spool imports he has been a great help and sent them over fast If i am lucky 2mrrow ill go and drop my head, block, crank, rods, pistons for a 20thou bore and hone, clean, balance, facing off the block and head for a perfect gasket fitment etc etc. here are some photos -
Well just a lil update guys i have stripped the whole motor and will be sending it back to sydney for a rebuild by the guy who originally put the whole engine in the car/ rebuild. I have also found out a full story in behind this engine and it ends up that the guy from SMD workshop has bought the short block of anothey guy who wanted to do the conversion, so basically he has lied to the guy from the workshop that the engine has been done, it all looked legit with shiny pistons and all but pistons were only new rb30 pistons. I do appologise for calling him a lier and a bullshit artist. i just didnt know the full story but still doesnt change the fact that couple of the things he said didnt make sense anyway ill leave it at that. we just got off on the wrong foot. anyway. will be rebuilding the engine properly and hope it all goes well
