the inside diameter of the stock runners is 39mm and average spacing of 95mm center to center, there not all the same apart from center to center, you cant see it from the drawing but there all measured within 1mm plus i am going to add some velocity stacks that will be able to attach to the exsisting flange.

Read complete thread and seen no mention of provision of clearance cut on bottom of bores to make sure top shoulder of rod does not hit on bottom of bore.

Not seen on image of bottom of block either so do you know if you have to do this?

It will become obvious on you first dummy fit and try to turn the crank slowly to see if you have the required clearance.

This is definitely done on the jap engines I have seen and it was mentioned in the Zoom 2.4 build up.

Good luck with it and hope it makes your target RWkW reliably! ;)

Hey guys,

Thanks for that, and yes was well aware of it but thanks for the heads up. When we did the dummy fit up, everything cleared fine 3 - 4mm clearence but we have ground some extra meat away just to be safe :(

Aighty, wellz we are having some problems finding the rings to suite the pistons, we didn't get them with rings with the pistons, and now that we have requested them they said can't do.. so we are stuck with pistons and no rings, this is the only thing stopping it all going to gether and being put in the car.

On another note a few people and pm'd asking for pics of the car its going into.

The Interior is a bit of a mess but its in the list of things to do, after the engine work etc is all done and complete

got any pics of the drivers side rear 1/4>>?? mine has some slight damage and was considering a kit like that, just wondering how is comes up to fuel filler. Also bit of noob with skyline features (silvia man) and was wondering. Are those 4 door taillights or did some 2 doors come with them? If they are 4 door lights.. how u fit them?? Just new rear bar n boot?

goodluck with ur engine biuld up.

cheers

Hey,

They are 2 door lights, as for the kit its a Final Konnexion genuine kit from Japan, through jetspeed. I will try get a pic of the drivers side rear for your tomorrow.

As for the rings,

Does anyone know the measurements of the rings etc? the pistons are made by ROSS

Cheers

You cut the intake runners how short? this thing is going to have even less down low than a stock RB20! We have spoken previously about plenums dude, I'll just remind you my mates' RB30DETT is making 460rwhp through a STANDARD RB25 plenum and throttle body.. good luck with the design and hopefully you don't lose too much torque or lean any cylinders out :(

Well put the car on the dyno last night to fiddle with the boost and AFR currently cars runnign a chipped mines ecu, and we wound the boost upto 1.15bar last night to test the timing and also to find a leak in the exhaust manifold, see the link below can you identify where the leak is lol

  • 4 weeks later...

Just a quick update.

Well Finally for ROSS pistons in the USA to organise my piston rings form Total Seal in Calafornia, They where posted monday, so hoping they will be here begining of next week.

Also i took the adivice of a few people and sold my Garrett 2876R setup, and today I received my new Garret GT30r, and also along with my new highmount manifold.

Just awaiting a few missing parts out of my oil & water line kit from GCG to arrive hopefully tomorrow and the turbo will be bolted upto the car

3076r.jpg

So far its coming along pretty smooth just a couple of hickups along the way but they where expected

Cheers

Cameron

What are the specs on the GT30R, as i thought the GT30R was meant to have the ported compressor cover?

Looks great though...also, if you are going to run that shiny nice manifold long and hard you should consider some shielding/wrap/ceramic coating etc. There is a lot of wiring and hoses around there that dont like heat. Also, its expensive but if you are running ahigh mount manifold and turbo then its worth the effort to get stainless steel braided teflon line and throw some of the red heat sheathing around it. I tried a few different hose types and installs and after a few heavy track days the oil return line showed signs of fatigue and drama. So went the whole hog 3rd tim eround and countless track days and thrashings later never missed abeat. Whislt plenty of other ppl at the track with high mounts have suffered similar fate to my earlier attempts.

But looking good, keen to see the results :)

Yea i will be heat wrapping the dump pipe, and most likely the manifold, also the oil return i was going to wrap in something to keep it safe.

last thing i want is a fire lol

The oil return line i have says its flame resistant lol but yea i will look into getting a steel braided teflon one :banana:

On a good note, rings cleared customs last night, after sitting there for 2 days but of thought they where some sort of hardcore substance

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
