definetely a good idea with the gates belt, where did you get the clear timing belt cover from? and how much

can be bought from PSIPARTS.COm for about $145. not bad considering hard to get and i think the greddy ones are around this prince for rb26

Hey Spooner, it sounds like you're building a wicked machine. You'll have to have a show and tell when it's done. I get excited everytime i read thet you've done something new to your car.

i dunno about wicked, but it should be a bit of fun. i'll def be out and about once I get it finished. of course, it will need a polish after the weeks of rain we have had before i take it too far, hahahaha. its bloody relieving to be able to drive around now without the temp creeping upto 106deg due to the dodgy old radiator and thermostat. sits at a nice 84deg now.

i will get some new pics up next weekend.

I made 300rwk with the same turbo as you at 18psi, it was not safe and some timing was taken out to make a bit over 260rwkw, I think the stock exhaust manifold was an issue but if you are lucky you should make 300rwk especially if you are happy to run a bit towards the 'unsafe' side of things tune wise

i would most likely be ok with being on the 'unsafe' side, as I wont be driving it all the time on whatever boost setting is used to make the most power. I have the avc-r set to 9.5psi on setting A and thats what my daily boost will be.

well after dropping the car off this morning its not happy days just yet. a leaky exhaust manifold has put a slight holt to getting it tuned to something decent. for the time being it has been tuned on 10psi and made 215 rwkw. so i guess there is plenty to go for once the leak is sorted.

turned out just to be slight gap between turbo and exhaust manifold due to heat expansion after the original fitting. after hanging off everything in the area with 2 spanners as leverage, including the exhaust manifold nuts, its all sweet.

however is the process of taking the heat sheild off the manifold I broke the oil feed line for the turbo (turns out its a cheap peice of 'not very flexible' shit. thanks to the performance shop who sold me that, they will remain un-named. so i fitted another one i had lying around and it must have been shat aswell cos whilst out driving smoke began bellowing out form the engine bay and it had ruptured and spray painted my engine bay in oil.

I am taking the fittings, along with a quality braided flexi hose to enzed tomorrow arvo to be made up, than its back to the shop for tune time.

took car back to shop today. they started on the dyno and one of the pipes blew off, now they cant get it to rev over 2000rpm. swapped ecu's and afm's without change. they are goin to try a different cas tomorrow and see what happens

well its lookin better now. i got them to check the plugs and they were shitty bosch items, so they have been replaced with decent ones. and they took off the CAS to find it was screwed, chewed out on the inside. totally unexplainable and weird. so a new one is arriving in the morning and i should have it back tomorrow.

the dodgy CAS might explain a weird flat spot i had between 3000-5500 rpm when i had the std ecu. happy days ahead :P

Hey mate good too read your progresss I just pasted the year mark with my build, hoping to have it all together in the next month.

I went the funny option of building a RB24 some of the mods I am doing are:

Forged Eagle Rods

Rb26 Crank + Balanced

ACL Race Series Bearings

ARP head studs

ROSS Custom 83mm pistons

Tomei 1.5mm metal head gasket 83mm

1mm Oversize valves

Tomei Solid lifters

Tomei Valve Springs

Tomei 270 9.25mm lift Cam's

Tomei Shims

HKS Cam gears

Ported and polished head

Garrett 3076R .64 rear

Hopeing for easy 300kw on low boost and around 350 - 400rwkw on high boost around the 30psi mark which i hope should be achieved with this turbo or having to change to a larger rear housing.

Anyway goodluck today with the car at the workshop!! keep us updated

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
