I was actually thinking about that too. A sard rail (like the one you have) doesnt seem terribly expensive, and probably a good idea ?

yer they are about $400 i think for the sard one, and then u will need a fuel reg as well, around another $300ish i think (rough prices). dont wanna starve a 25k crate motor anytime soon :cool:

sump is also stock, worth an upgrade for sure.

Well, from what I can make out the Genesis doesn't come with any fuel rail at all; those ancilliaries are up to the end user to choose (the pictured engine a few posts ago is the Derive). Also the sump, whilst the OEM item, runs the Tomei baffle plates. See here*

* Note that its for the 2.6l variety of engines

Nah it wont be coming over anymore. TommyK has gone all old and boring, he has bought a house and is right at this second (im on the phone to him) is at the auctions looking to buy a falcon on gas.. auto.

Probably just reiterating what every one else said but just had a 2.8 stroker built using an new N1 block ( fully prepped) using all the same parts as a tomei derive 2.8 with 270/10.8 pro cams and ati pulley

Trust T517z 8.0cm dumps .Have only just run it in so will be interesting to see how it goes at 1.5bar.

What I am saying is you would be better off getting it built here - Quality is second to none. Better off for comeback also!

Bit hard if you had a problem but Tomei engines are also high end stuff - also if you add some optional extras like mine it would cost a lot more for the same thing from Japan .

Lots of good engine builders in Australia - its not rocket science.

Thats my 2c

Cheers

Hi

any more pictures for the engine and car?

where did you get all the job done?

GTAuto Garage in Brisbane did all the modifications to a very high professional standard.

Highly recommend them to anyone thats requires top notch work.

Would now not ever go anywhere else.

Alex,Dave,Dave and Tim are great guys to do business with.

Bringing back a very dead topic here, but as Tomei have the series 2 Genesis engine out now has anyone bought one or had any experiences with one? Basically they are more revised now and include virtually everything for a bolt in application, sump and all! RRP is $37,000 but RHD Japan have them for $19,500 delivered. I added up the cost of buying the individual parts included and came up with over $20,000 not including ANY labour for assembly.

Have you worked out the difference between the Series 1 and 2? There was a thread in GTROC and one of the photo's had a Tomei 2.8 photo. From what I can gather the difference is the crank.... I dont know what the differencees are. I have a Series 1 Tomei motor in mine and no problems.

Differences are:

conrods

crank

camshafts,

L19 rod bolts

Tomei head bolts/washers

Tomei main cap bolts

Tomei oil gallery orifice

Tomei timing belt

Tomei oversized oil pan with baffle

Tomei oversized oil pump

comes with spark plugs and Nismo thermostat.

So there are quite a few differences between the two, virtually every fastener is an upgraded item.

Yep Australian dollars. I think there might be a Tax or Tariff on it too, but i have bought goods to the value of $4000 from Japan and never got any extra taxed amount on it like your "supposed " to on any item/s over $1000.

^ aren't you lucky. Does not mean you'll be lucky again.

Especially considering it's not exactly small :(

It does not say specically that it is free to Australia - it says to check first.

Have you checked?

Also something else to think about, i remember a thread here or on another forum about a OS 3ltr that was purchased.

It was pulled down over here and found to be rather "average" in its assembly. So it was basically stripped and reassembled/rebuilt once it got over here.

Something else to think about.

I have a customer with a short on the way to his engine builder, should be real interesting. He went a bit crazy, Greddy T88GK, APEXI V-max spl (10000rpm kit) head kit (290degree 11.5 lift) full cnc porting etc... i cant wait to tune it ;)

Im not trying to say i will get away with no tax, i havn't had much experience with buying from overseas, so i was more enquiring to anyone who has.

It wouldn't surprise me that the OS kit was second rate, it looks it just to look at! But to assume a Tomei engine could be the same is silly. They have a reputation much like Cosworth with their engines, so if one were to fail prematurely it wouldn't go down well.

I do believe that even for $25,000 the Tomei engine is a good deal. I havn't seen any other "turnkey" engine that looks as good (to me) for similar price. If you had an engine built with same quality parts i'd bet it will cost over 25g. I stopped building a WRX engine when it was getting towards the $20,000 mark...

OS is a "lesser" company and/or quality than Tomei?

Rightyo :down:

Either way, i'd be budgeting to have it pulled down and checked regardless.

I agree with ash here. For the money you have spent, whats a little more to get everything checked.

I wish I had done it when my supposed BIG engine arrived here (albeit already in the car)

I think Dirt had a new Tomei 2.8ltr crank that he had to re-balance recently as it was all wrong.

May want to shoot him a PM to confirm

So if i buy a motor from Lewis engines or Godzilla motorsports i should get it pulled down and checked if it was done correctly.. Im sorry i have never heard anything so ridiculous! Most engine failures are caused by bad tunes not bad engineering.

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
