Try posting in the general maintenance section of the forums, much more traffic over there you might be able to get some good answers

Friend just put a bronze tee on his line from filter to rail, then ran a line the 10cn or so to the sensor moubted on the strut tower. Pressure will transmit fine. At the end of the day it's only going to be an indicator anyway. Pressure doesnt always colloratre with flow.

I'd do it after the filter though, if that starts blocking flow you'd want to know about it

Walbro would be half the cost and flow even more and be e85 compatible. Won't be a direct fit i suppose though

What have i done...? I'm with the "buy parts that are good value camp". Also, I liked how the 1700 buck nismo key became a 2000 buck nismo key after a few hours. Apparently there is one on ebay for 330 bucks right now btw

I don't understand the nismo love, maybe I got into the skylibe scene too late

Interested in hearing more details of the cooling system. Something that is often overlooked for big power setups.

Maybe its just the photos but it looks more like its just a coating on the 4" section?

There's a company up here called CRG thats similar to 6boost, worth a look.

Mine did a headgkaset or studs at 300 and 20psi

Such a tease.. should lower the photo a tad and show us if there's anything attached to the sump..

Dobz, your setup sounds quite similar to the kit that otomoto sells. When you say if you can afford it go vcam, do you mean vct in general or hks vcam specifically? The hks option is continuously variable as I understand, not a on off step like vct. Ash: do you mean people retrofitting neo vct to the 26 or a full variable jobbie? Obviously for vct you've got ottomoto, and I know of someone in qld who did it, but isn't around anymore. I think racepace also did, of did they just use vcam? I'll also keep looking around for adaptors then, didn't think there was anyone left that made them.

Both rated at the same pressure (3 bar) and the bosch injectors are stainless. Can get a set through brick and mortar retailers for 725 bucks or so. Ids on the other hand, cheapest ive seen for a set is around the 1500 mark. Makes me wonder if they are worth it

1300s seem to be the sweet spot, if doesn't reccomend running 98 with anything bigger, and I like flex. Id1300s or Bosch 1250s though, that's the real question...

So the concencus was big injectors around the 1300 mark should allow you to see 400kw on a stock unmodifed rail?

Won't fit in a 32 r without modification of the bonnet

I need a hoist. Would make my engine outing easier

Ignoring the discussion on the merit of vct, does anyone have any comments or insight about the actual process of mating the NEO head to the 26 block?

Power should be around the 550 mark, Turbos are going to be gtx2860s. Aim is for getting them on song as quickly as possible.

I've seen an adjustable gear that has been made up that is pretty easy to adjust, only in the last few months, would more than likely be grabbing one of those. Yes you're right, at least it might get me an idea of the difference it would make

Everyone is welcome Mike, member or not! Look for the dudes probably in the red and black SAU QLD shirts

Hnm, a lot of people rave about vct. I'll try and drive a mates car with vct on then off soon. obviously that's a bit different to a car with properly dialed in cam gears but i'd be getting adjustable gears for the vct head anyway so that may be a moot point, its more about the difference the vct would make, particularly to transient response.

The engine in my '32 GTR is in need of a rebuild and i've decided to go all out on it (all the goodies, stroker and the like), one of the thing's i've been considering is VCT. Option 1 for installing VCT would be to grab the kit from Otomoto, which is 3K, plus the required NEO bits, which is around another 650 by all accounts, give or take. Given this is a rebuild most of the other work required would have been done anyway so not really an extra cost there. However, i've had some suggestions from around the place that perhaps I should buy a Rb25 NEO and swap the heads over. I've not heard of anyone do this, and there would be a number of things to sort out but it may work out significantly cheaper in the end, however there are some things that i'm struggling to get my head around. From what I understand, the main things that would need to be sorted. Exhaust: i'd be keeping my twin turbo setup, so cylinder 2 and 5 need to be changed, this would best be done by drill+tapping new holes in the head, correct? Cam covers: swap over all my 26 stuff, does it all bolt on? Obviously the timing belt cover would need some adjustments, have some ideas with that. VCT oil feed. As i understand this, the 26 block would have the same issues as doing a VCT on a 30 block so i could use the solutions used there, which is an external feed as i understand it, however i've also seen some info on people drilling oil feeds into their 30 blocks to avoid needing an external oil feed for the VCT. Am I barking up a good tree here? Headstuds: I understand RB26 ones are larger, so this would just require re-drilling the holes on the NEO head? Intake: this is the big one. I would want to keep the ITB's, so this would require welding a new inner runner section using the existing runner to NEO flange and with the runner to TB flange from the 26 on the other end, keeping a similar length and all the water lines etc. I've talked to a fabricator who believes he can do it but any advice/experience here would be helpful. Obviously the main issue would be to keep the length in check as i can't afford to have the plenum space out any further. Is there anything else am I missing here? I understand that the NEO head has some design revisions, eg larger exhaust valves from factory, hopefully these would be a net positive to the engine also, is there anything else there which may come into play, eg changes with oil return? Obviously the head will be refreshed and cleaned up with new valve springs etc, and possibly some cams, but this is something that would happen with either head. Why am I trying to do this? Well, the net cost to me from getting the neo, offloading the bottom end and other ancillaries and the 26 head would probably be 1000 bucks, so even if the extra fabrication and machining work to set it all up is 1-2000 i'm coming out ahead compared to the Ottomoto kit, which is nice.

Can't make this one unfortunately, will have to get in next time!

wouldn't getting a 3.5" exhaust achieve the same goal?
