The engine builder :happy:

It was leaking water into the oil, which was basically due to not having the head and block decked together after it was pulled apart to fix a minor oil leak. Long story short is that the engine was in and out constantly for a year, the warranty work they were doing on it was taking forever and I lost confidence in them so I cut my losses and took it to someone who I knew would have some diligence and take some pride in their work.

Those bearings were in the car for a dyno session and half a lap of Sandown...

That sucks glad to hear it is all coming along nicely this time around. I was pretty nervous building up my SR as it was all very new to me im used to A series datsun engines you cant kill them haha, but my engine builder went through everything with me and so far so good 2 events down.

Machining was done by Blackwell race engines, and a friend of mine and an ex-supercar engine builder are putting it back together for me.

Really disapointing to see what happened with the previous motor and those bearings in particular, not very nice stuff. Good to see things are progressing nicely with the new rebuild and hopefully it will all work out for you.

it looks like they are second hand ones, you don't know anyone with the remote mounts laying around do you?

Nope brand new but the rears bottom mounting and canister are off his sons drift car so he could get mine done in time, even took some money of because of it so im not complaining.

Sorry don't know of anyone with some laying around.

August, doing 6th at Winton on the way up....going to be a busy 4 days working flat knacker to get my car ready. But have to beback in India on 16th so only chance to give the ol girl a punt

Unlikley then mate. I'll probably have the engine back in 2 weeks I'd say, then another week or so to get the nerw turbo kit on and tune and hopefully a run at Sandown in case anything goes pear shaped!

Thought I'd share this.... 3 years in the making and today was its first "successful" road test! (I had a few unsuccessful ones due to fuel system issues).

So here it is! Australia's first legally engineered and registered twin turbo'd VW. The goal is to be quick in the sprint events that I race in. The car hopefully weighs in around the 800kg mark, 1/2 the weight of the R34 which realy struggles around the gocart track I race at.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
