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

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

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 :)

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
