have any of you guys actually had rb rebuilds at boost worx by sean?

busky - where are they located?

I know of a 'few' people who own some nice cars in there and very decent job by Shuan at boostworx. These cars are a little more than 'rebuilds', but quality and service is good :wave:

I'd say Shaun/Boostworx as well - as far as I know Nisspeed does the machining, not sure about assembly

Tilbrooks use Rhemac for machining, not sure about assembly.

Never heard of anyone using Willall

Not sure of anyone with RB24 experience either, has anyone else heard of one being machined up in SA?

I've seen Pete's work on RB engine. If and when my RB stuff up I will send it down to them. Great bunch of people with vast amount of knowledge and experience who stand up for their work/word.

defamation tsk tsk
Defamation law and free speech

The law of defamation is supposed to protect people's reputations from unfair attack. In practice its main effect is to hinder free speech and protect powerful people from scrutiny.

The basic idea of defamation law is simple. It is an attempt to balance the private right to protect one's reputation with the public right to freedom of speech. Defamation law allows people to sue those who say or publish false and malicious comments.

before whinging about defamation look @ what it is i never once said anything about tills so i didnt say anything that wasnt true

i will say he was very willing to have a look and help but... didnt end up helping :D /end of storey

I was impressed when I visited Rhemac Motors. Definitely give them a call I say...

I remember a while back (a good 2-3years) Mark I think his name is (owner of tilbrooks) said they get Rhemac motors do their motors.

EDIT: Chris32 beat me to it. :D

John Moyle Engineering just off main nth rd.

they have all the machinery, and experience to build motors on site and within 2 weeks.

why take it to a dyno place and pay them a commision to get someone else to build your engine.

it dosent make sense to me!

The engine builder at John Moyle has been building speeedway and drag engines for 25 years.

and definately knows his stuff..

They did a great job of my rb25 and kept in touch with me thru out the build process.

They did all the machining on site except getting the crank ballanced. (Chris Milton)

they installed my new JUN crank collar, ACL forged pistons, Eagle H beam rods,

ARP main, big end, and head studs and then assembled the motor, all at a very good

price.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
