Evening all,

No new updates, Paul's picking up the 9ltr sump tomorrow and from talking to Paul on Tuesday he mentioned I may have the engine back by the end of next week!

Now I am still waiting on the Hypertune Intake and Throttle Body... Hope to hear Monday that it will also ship next week!

Looking at pulling the box out and having it rebuilt, if anyone knows a good gearbox place in Brisbane for GTR box's let me know.

Also looking at running the car on the Green stuff but it's a big commitment at $2.50ltr

Cheers

In about 2 weeks ill be able to show you my brothers rb24 build. Mechanics are arseing around a fair bit. Should have been on the dyno last week........

Used a mixture of tomei parts and rb26. Ported head (tomei cams to come after a few thousand kms) garrett gt3040r turbo, nistune ecu. Made well over 220rwkw with the worst tune ever (stock r31 ecu and SAFC2 lol)

He is hoping for over 300rwkw after the cams go in.

Oh and its in a black HR31 coupe. :P

Howdy All,

Firstly, Apologies for the quality of the pics.

What lift cams are you running and compression ratio to have to relieve the pistons? Was that a custom order?

Tomei 270 9.25mm Lift, Comp Ratio is in the High 8's and pistons are custom order from ROSS Pistons in the USA.

what kind of plenum did you use from hypertune, and how much pm me if you dont want to disclose on thread, reason i ask as i am looking at getting a plenum and chasing info and options lookf forward to the dyno and another stroked rb20 i can associate with

cheers yt

Hmmmm... twins?

Hmm Correct... But what twins?

motor looks sexy, will be interesting to see what the dyno yields at the end of it.... :P

Indeed it will be we are looking for a very reliable 400rwkw - Well I am at least :)

Plenum and 90mm Throttle body came in around the $2000 as was custom made by Pete and the boys.

    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
