Looking to sell these before the end of November

Need these gone so I can buy an RB20 rail

Gave them a good degrease today and wizzed over them to clean up the alloy. From there they can be polished or simply prepsoled and painted whatever colour you like. Hose clamps and silicon joints all included Asking $430 ono . Located in Melbourne

These pipes are left over from an intercooler I sold. Was going to sell with the Type S cooler but were too big to post and buyer was going to mak ehis own alloy pipes. They are dirty-oil from laying around a garage for two years but nothing a coat of paint wont fix. These pipes go from the inner guards to cooler on both sides. Asking $160 Located in Melbourne CBD

But here is the thing, forget the fastest time, track isnt fully rubbered in and a whol ehost of reasons why the fastest lap is not so important....did anyone notice on the long runs the RBRs were 0.5-0.8 secons a lap quicker with full tanks and the option tyre! Their race pace looks convincing for one of the few times on a Friday

Well Webber should be going up the mechanics saying that the new wing sucks through the first sector, second sector and 3rd...so Vettel is free to have it but "I would rather whatever he was running"

Just watching an old F1 race and Berger binning the Ferrari in a straight line on the exit of the pits in Estoril in 1993!!!! LOL and he dares question Marks woopsie in Korea?

They are only really needed if you are running sticky tyres and need to run more camber then you can otherwise get out of offset bushes. I like how they still use bushes rather then rose joints. Sure they may not be as hardcore but I am old and dont want noisy suspension, just noisy engine Also, the Procams that I picked up out of a blown motor are no good. It seems that whilst the scoring may be able to be repaired the keyway on the exhaust cam which drives the CAS has been snapped off somewhere along the line. SO if someone wants an inlet cam that may be able to be saved, or a pair of Tomei Procams that they want to give to their local cam profiler to copy then if you pay postage then they are all yours. I will sell you the Tomei solid lifters you require to run with these cams on an R32 RB20/RB25DE

I dont think they warp as such, but the machined faces that seal on the manifold etc can usually do with a skim after years of life as after uber heat cycles some have trouble sealing against gasket faces. So a metal rule on the face of the turbo flange will give you an idea of how many cycles the thing has had and whether the faces is still true. My current TD06 8cm housing was machined when it was last removed because it had 'bowed' (for want of a better term) a little

My theory is it 'disintegrates' due to thermal expansion, in particular differential expansion. When one surface has 800deg C air blowing through it and the other is subjest to air blowing past it at 60deg C you can understand the thermal stresses in the metal. If you coat it and wrap it you have more uniform temperature in the material, and more controlled cooling when the thing is turned off...rather then effectively being air quenched every time the thing cools down from being red hot. It does mean your ultimate operational temperature is higher...but I think the rate at which you heat everything up also matters a lot. I usually have a warm up lap or two not just for oil and coolant and brake temps etc, but to let the manifold, dump etc all come up to a nice hot operating temp....i suppose that only matters if you are running aftermarket crap on your car like me ....

Offers....? Hope to have the Procams back next week and will get some pics up then fo the cams. In the meantime, Tomei springs, pistons and Poncams

I ended up with two fuel rails for my RB20. Turns out some info I was given was a dud and the RB26 rails do not fit RB20s. Story goes there is no real clear performance advantage of running one on most application, but is desirable for me as on a track car its more comforting to have teflon lined braid and screwed fittings in the engine bay rather then perishing rubber and push fit hase clamp connections. Both are brand new, with packaging. The Greddy rail has one small little nic the size of a grain of rice from playing with it out of its packaging. Asking $400 each

Very good fit. Depending on ride height you may need just to roll the lip on the inner guard, but I had a bronze set for my car in the exact same size before pumping my guards and getting the car sprayed...mint wheels!

Well, I cant really remember last Abu Dhabi race. McLaren and Hamilton were strong with KERS, but cant recall Ferrari being in the hunt....but this years Ferrari is a far better car...so not sure who this track will suit. I expect it to be more of a Ferrari track with the long straights and slow speed corners rather then an RBR track...so at first glance I think RBR will be figthing like hell to park both on the front row. Mark needs to find that little edge he had mid season

Well, I can say I contributed absolutely nothing to the weekend. I turned up 5 minutes after the last car left the start line for the final stage up the mountain. 20minutes later I had a beer in my hand talking sh1t! Thats a good night in my books

And the thing just bolted on to your KU engineering plenum? I have a Greddy and Sard fuel rails and I dont think its going to bolt up. I admit it was only a quick road side measure up before the manifold goes off for some love

So you make RB20 fuel rails for std manifold? I could modify the std rail but prefer to go aftermarket so that I can use screwed connections and ensure there is no rubber lines under there

In post 262 there is a pic of the engine. What fuel rail are you using on the engine?

Silly question, would you know if the RB20, RB20 or Rb26 fuel rails are interchangeable? I have an RB26 rail for my RB20 and after having a quick look at it i suspect its not going to work....despite my mates assurance he ran a scummy RB20 rail on his RB26. One other thing, is there a reason why the runners are perpindicular to the plenum when you are going full custom?

Its a Plazmaman. Now that I have my SARD 700cc injectors I went to dummy fit it all to my spare manifold and just realised that GTR fuel rails do not fit RB20s. So looks like the SARD will be going into the std RB20 fuel rail...i hope they fit And some Whiteline rear arms which will take most of the weekend to paint
