I'd like to know your compression ratio. I had JE make my pistons for 8.5 to 1. I used 52cc for the combustion camber volume, measured the block height myself, and took the rest of the specs from Tomei. I just noticed that they list their rb24 pistons with a 5.2cc piston crown volume. http://www.tomei-p.co.jp/_2003web-catalogu...ston-specs.html

I believe the Tomei pistons have a 7.9/1 cr. Which seems likely to me since my 8.5/1 pistons have a 8.5cc dome and the Tomei's have a 5.2cc dome. I got my deck clearance by subtracting my rod length plus half the stroke plus the compression height from the block height. This gave me 0.0661" of deck clearance. After over boring to 82mm in my case this effectively increases the combustion chamber lowering the compression ratio. Then the dome brings it back up to the stock 8.5/1.

Update:

My new intake plenum and SARD fuel rail arrived on Tuesday. I got them to make some mounts so I could use the SARD fuel rail on a rb20 plenum. I only have 2 pic's of the plenum atm.

I am Expecting my 6boost Manifold to arrive tonight once Kyle drops it off :P

Also forgot I received my new wastegate in the mail today fresh from the USA

Well thanks to Kyle from 6Boost for dropping my new Exhaust Manifold off at 11:30 last night, I am now able to finish up the engine build as far as bolt on's go. Heres a couple of pics of the manifold, is A highmount T4 Split Pulse.

any updates on the build?

Well yes there is, yesterday afternoon I was bored and had just got the last bits for the gearbox form nissan so put all that together and put the engine and box back in the car.

I must say I am never doing that again by myself! My poor engine crane paid the toll and has a nice arch in the beam now. I will post some pics a little later after i tidy it up abit.

Heres a couple of pics, the engines pretty much just sitting in there at the moment

Still have to finish off porting the intake manifold ot match the head its half done, then just a matter off mounting the gearbox up 100% running all the oil and water lines, and get a tailshaft.

Can anyone recommend a place around the western subs in brisbane who make tailshafts?

Ok so I am planning on getting the engine started this weekend. I just finished the wiring tonight and decided to turnthe key and jsut crank it over to move some oil around a couple of things i noticed.

1) Theres a hissing sound coming from the dip stick that slowly tappers down after you stop cranking like pressure build up and slowly leaking out

2) oil pressure guage on the dash doesnt move but the light does fliker a little bit

Is this normal for a fresh built engine? Or shold I be looking into it before I try to start it all?

Indeed it is, Not bad for a 1 week turn around from kyle. The only thing I had to do to the manifold was TIG on a 45 degree bend for the wastegate :)

you might want to be careful there, i remember someone else posting about doing something similar and it caused boost control issues

Well the hot day it is here in Brisbane we decided to crank the engine over and get her running. After a bit aof head scratching of why the injectors weren't firing we jiggled the ecu wiring harness and all of a sudden they worked.

A couple of small things I have to sort out before it goes off the be tuned.

1) Retension the timing belt as its a little to tight and sitting a bit far back on the gears for our liking

2) Finish interncooler piping

3) make it run on 6 cyl instead of 5 :wacko:

Well I spent a good part of today checkeing all the electrical connections and cables in my car to do with the coils and injectors it all turned out fine, but came across the number 3 injector wasn;t firing where in previous tests it was.

Isolated the injector and disconnected all the coils so no chance of blowing myself up, i took the injector out to see if it was blocked which it wasnt put 12v directly onto it... nothing gave it a quick tap with a screwdriver and tried 12v again and ot mu surprise it clicked gave it 10 mins and tried it again and it clicked. So I installed it back into the fuel rail adjusted the tension on the timing belt while I was in there, also found the steel plate behind the crank sproket was rubbing on the oil pump so pressed that a bit flatter so it cleared the pump and put all the timing belt and balancer back in.

Fired her up after a nice BANG! that my poor puppy is still trying to recover from, still have to adjust the idle a tad as its still at 2000rpm. I recorded a lil vid of the sound of it sitting at 2k idling

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
