Hi peeps,

Though I'd just say hello,

I just bought my dream car, an R32 GTR and obviously am super happy. The engine is about a week from being finished with forged pistons, new Turbo's etc etc etc.

Just sent off my SUA QLD application form and am looking forward to plenty of fun experiences with you guys (and gals)

Bye for now........

Cheers

Tom Mac

They say you should NEVER photograph cars on grass.

Not sure about that, but I am sure I would like to own your great lookin GTR line! :D

AND you probably paid less for it than I did buying my GTS4! (8 Years ago;-)

The work is getting done at ASR Motorsport on the Gold Coast where I live. He's a guru ( and a freind ) who guarantees his engines. He's built plenty of RB26's that are solid.

I only paid $14000 for it which was a steal considering I nearly bought the first one I saw 3 months ago for $23000 with 170,000Km's.

When I bought it I knew it had a knock and needed a rebuild but I think the price reflected that.

News to date, the block now has a crack in it and my engineer won't gaurantee the motor unless I get another block so I've been desperatly trying to find an RB26 Block with Gurdle but I'm struggling. I searched thru the forums but am waiting on replies to my PM's.

Wish me luck....

Cheers

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
