Hey guys,

Bad news unfortunately.......................motor goneskis :)

Leaned out on me the other night, tried driving it the next day no compression.

Pulled it down, piston cracked, rings melted into the grooves.............bad news.

Sent it to an engine rebuilder. hoping to get it back by friday.

I did it on Monday was out by Monday night.

At the engine rebuilders Tuesday morning, and hes working on it all week.

Updated - He said latest next monday.

He's given me a price. $270.

New piston, ring, top end bearing, honed bore, all gaskets and everythign else required

Cheap as?

I thought it was a good price, but not cheap as.

yeah only one piston.

Steve, I can ask him if you want, but he doesn't have much experience in those motors.

I wont do the standard rebuild, but yeah it cant hurt to know who he is etc, would you mind posting his details? Or PM if thats better for you?

Cheers

yeah, you guys are all massive knuckle heads. didn't the fact that it was a SINGLE piston engine, and had YAMAHA stamped into it give it away? man, i am never letting any of you guys near my car!

    • Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.
    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
