Birth Of An Rb25

[2rismo]

Done.

[2BNVS]

i can see it happening, BQF van will be called out to tow a broken 2RISMO...lol

[2rismo]

Just stopped in at Profab to find all the work done. The piping has all been done and improved (less joins and now alloy instead of steel) and the dump, gate and some other stuff has all been finished.

Tomorrow morning it goes to the auto electricians to get some wiring extended for the IAC motor, oil pressure warning light and switch and the AFR meter connected, and then from there it's back to the workshop for fire-up.

I've got next week off work to get it going and tuned. Cannot wait.

I also have to thank Greg from Turbosmart for his support. It's a sea of blue under the bonnet now with the list of Turbosmart gear now including:

- 50mm Progate

- FPR-1200 Fuel Pressure Regulator

- Fuel Pressure Gauge

- Supersonic BOV

- EBoost 2 EBC

- Turbosmart Silicon (lots)

It's all great stuff and dead easy to fit. Their tech support guys are pretty bloody handy too!

Welcome to the club

Hmmmmmmm interesting piping............................

put me in for twenty, seeing that the car will be in my shop next week..cough cough... i feel a bit sick..might only feel like working on my car...

Cooler pipes finished today and car at auto-elecs getting oil pressure warning light and AFR meter wired. Just have to run a line to the ECU's MAP sensor and then we'll fill it with fluids and fire it up.

You've got a bet, Paulie! One shiny, silver 20-cent piece and a cold beverage sound fair?

Game?

my car might be closer than ive made out...got some nice brakes for the circuit car today too Stewie...How does 375mm 6 spot AP's grab ya.

Bring on jambo. keen as to see it in action.

Lots of tight bends, and reducers.

Where are the mandrels?

[2BNVS]

Definatley needs chrome lol

Don't need the expense of mandrels when the inside of these pipes is every bit as smooth. The changes in dimension on the intake pipe to the turbo makes no difference (and will be removed for racing anyway) and if the rest of the pipework was the same dimension as the outlet of the compressor cover, it'd be some bloody small pipe. It's all good.

You're not the only one, mate.

With all those tight bends it will be interesting to see the pressure differential between your turbo (making the boost) and the plenum (pressure going into the head)

Which tight bends are you talking about mate? The one off the turbo? Show me another way to do it or how mandrels would have helped and that's what we'll do.

Also, you need to remember how the piping was done with the standard intake. This way takes about a metre out of the length of the pipe compared to the centre entry plenum.

Im not knocking it dude, and I can easily see it is the only path for it, just interested in how it will affect the pressure.

Sorry, it's my engineering background nit picking.

I know mate. It's less than ideal but unfortunately, that's all these boats allow for. Besides, pressure drops can always be made up for with some extra boost.
