Nothing.......

I have given (and recieved back) my VL sump to H.E. to convert into a 7ltr sump with full race baffles/windage trays. Sump has now been fitted to the motor and all is great. Hopefully, should have the engine in the car by the end of the week.

How much that set u back?

H.E advertise these on their site for $1100 ish.

$1050. But it also included two custom "-10" fittings (one on each side) for the oil return, another fitting for my oil temp sensor and i think there was a 4th custom fitting for something else.

Pretty much got it "trade price"

A Question for the guys in the GT35R 300-400rwkw club.

What size throttlebody,Intercooler and piping do you use?

Standard RB26 throttle bodies

75mm turbo to intercooler pipework

80mm intercooler to plenum pipework

Cheers

ah - makes sense now :-)

I actually thought the turbo was bigger and couldnt understand why you had kept the VCT.

VCT is great! If i find that it isn't as beneficial with this set-up, i could simply program the Wolf3D to keep it On all the time or Off.

Engine/car has been set-up for the occasional motorkahna, hill climb and track day. Response was more important to me than peak power; after all, how many rwkw can you put to the ground, on a rwd car? :( If i went with my original plan i would have used my HKS GTRS, but i was told the engine would choke at approx 5000rpm. The GT30R was the smallest turbo recommended, through various sources.

Hoping to make about 300-330rwkw with quick response and a huge power band.

I have 408rwkw, and its not enough :-) But Im an acceleration junkie.

My engine makes full boost at 4000 rpm so far from being a lag monster. It is very streetable.

I run semi slicks full time now and they get every bit of that power to the ground.

Each to there own.

Your setup sounds like it will do exactly what you have in mind.

Sounds awesome!! especially for the track. But would be a little too laggy and way too tail happy on the motorkahnas and hill climbs, especially when doing those 180deg handbrake turns.

If i wont more power it's only a matter of buying new turbo, bigger injectors and an ext gate. The engine has been balanced and built to handle a huge amount of power.

Well thanks for your encouraging comments and hope you achieve your desired power goal :(

can anybody tell me if there is a thead on here that explains how to run the vct/vvt

in an 30/26,and wat else to do to the block so i can boltit together.. and wat page? cant seem to find it and i realy need to get my head and block to the machinests

    • Join the NorCal facebook group btw, but if you can confirm it is HICAS I would install a lock bar and do the work to keep the HICAS control unit happy despite the hardware not functioning. The HICAS control unit is also responsible for speed sensitive power steering so if it's unhappy you'll get failsafe/heavy power steering. A standalone can control that power steering solenoid valve but sometimes it's just easier to stick with the factory setup. Tomei makes a little electronic module that you can install to fool the control unit. I would probably go through the effort to not use a scotch-lok and build a harness so I don't have to chop up the OEM harness. Where you could source those connectors and pins I wouldn't know at the moment though.
    • Oh, another question comes to mind though. What sort of shitty fuel are you feeding it. Mine, a turbo, has to be fed 98RON, so it doesn't ping itself to death. 98 in Oz is good, dense fuel with minimal oxygenated compounds. Meaning that the energy density is high, and if the O2 trim is working, you will get more MPG than with a lesser fuel. If you're using some sort of piss poor E10 blend with some other MBTE or other oxygenated additions, that could explain using more per mile.
    • I have no idea where the thump is coming from, it sounds like its from behind me but im not exactly sure. And it was the HICAS light that came on.   I think a complete delete is the route im going to go. Probably going to pick up the kit within the next month and get it installed. HICAS is just going to end up being a headache if I keep it.    Thanks you. 
    • Just putting this here for reference for other beginners. Similar to what I said above.  I learnt if you have a few dents that are fairly close to each other (within a couple of inches maybe 2-4 inches?) Use filler across them all and sand it all at once with the long block as opposed to fixing them seperately.  Will make life MUCH easier because you won't get stuck in the cycle that I did. I think doing it seperately there is some overlap (mean your whole repair zone might cover near the area of the other dent) and you start sanding near the other dent making a low spot.
