IAC motor line and MAP line both run, cooler pipes refitted, filled with oil and water, primed, got oil pressure, stopped a water leak (tiny) and all ready to fire it up just as soon as the laptop makes it to the shop.

Woohoo!

Is it running yet?

That's a negative, Charlie. Making a timing pointer today and throwing some settings in the Autronic then it's fire-up. This afternoon if everything goes to plan and Stuart stays at the shop after 5pm for me.

yes, its alive, and has had its maiden voyage around the block. all looks really good, no major leaks, cooling system bled, cams run in, fans cycling in and out, base timing set, fuel pressure set, needs a good cleaning up of the tune as it is fat but good enough to move around.

Just got back from the workshop and I haven't stopped grinning like some sort of deranged psycho! Stuie and the boys at Bezerkly put in the big yards to get this finished and I can't thank them enough (although I reckon the cold ones helped :domokun:)

The interest shown in this project has surprised me but I reckon it's because so many Skyline owners have 25's under the bonnet and want to see what can be achieved with a relatively small turbo/cams/basic setup. And despite the fancy oil pumps and stuff that are only there to keep it together when it's having it's arse spanked, there's not too much in the way of exotic parts being used here. Just a solid engine build and some switched on people.

Uploading some phone-quality video now but to be honest, it's a bit rubbish. It certainly sounds different than the last time I heard it run although the microphone on the phone doesn't do it justice.

      We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
