Hey,

I am looking at building an engine for a project over the coming months, and was wondering where in brisbane to send my rb20 block to be machined and bored? I know there is Headsense for porting and flowing the head, but the rest i havent been able to find.

If anyone knows of mahine shops who do this type of work can you let me know?

Cheers

Cameron

hey champ i can tell u not to go to *******, there prob not really what ur looking for but if u took a cheap option don't go there, i know of too many stuff ups on their behalf, sure the'll fix problems but not cover ur labour time.

EDIT: No public defaming of workshops, yes it sucks but that's the way it is - Revhead

cost depends on how much u want done. you defintly want the bore machined to get the ridge removed, you can get the top surface of the block machined so its all the same height & better compression, you can get the crankshaft tunnels machined to fix twisting of the block but thats very x'y and i doubt youll notice the difference. I'm assuming your getting new cams so you dont have to worry about that but you can also get your crank machined to eliminate ovality and taper but if you can find a bigger crank maybe out of a rb30 or something along with longer and stronger con rods you wont get a longer stroke but youll get more mechanical advantage hence more power.

    • I'm not 100% how the BMW racers do it, but I know from other brands like Merc, moving, and changing the coolers is one of the things. Like getting a transcooler out from infront of the radiator to out near a wheel arch. So some of the stuff you've got crammed in the middle front, spread it out and open up where you can in the bar to get more air in to the sides.
    • Small update for the day... Turns out the intercooler and engine coolant hose kits are anything but complete....I probably should have counted better but it only really covers about half the coolant hoses in the car, it really just covers the visible stuff and pretends everything else doesn't exist (turbo water feed and returns and also heat exchanger lines through the 2 pumps and cooler) .In any case, I'm happier to have half reliable hoses than none, but a bit of a disappointment. Anyway...finger click (and 5 hours).....hoses in place, lots of spring clamps replaced with screw clamps, and engine coolant is on the pressure tester for the night.   Incidentally, upsized header tank is an Inifiniti factory option....not sure I'll ever do prod car racing in this but at least it is legal.
    • Just weld it onto the hot pipe. If you want it right after the turbo, put it right after the turbo. Or rip the comp cover off and drill and tap a hole into it.
    • hahaha glad I can rely on you two to go on a spiral at the drop of a problem! Some quick answers....the ducting is excellent top bottom and sides....everything that gets in goes through the coolers (noting the oil cooler redirects it out again, fair call if it is cooling 120o+) and the heat exchanger for the intercooler also has some scoops to pick up more than it's fair share too. I can't see going down the water spray track....no bueno for formal racing and a big risk for long rally days if you run out (plus I'm not clear if it is allowed there either yet).   Frankly, it must be possible to reliably put 400kw through a standard front end, the BMWs do it so I just need to work it out....I'm starting with reducing blockages in the way and adding some coolant capacity with a bigger header tank, flushing rad and making sure it was filled/bled properly (I didn't do the last coolant change); also taken measurements incase next step is a bigger/higher capacity custom radiator
    • wow, a completely stock GTR! I've got to admit, I have no idea from what you are describing....do you have  any idea where the "thump" comes from, and are you certain it is the HICAS light not something else like the cat overheat light?
