The time has come to rebuild.

I currently am trying to gather data on what i will need to support the stupid amounts of boost i want to put thru the new motor.

i currently have r34n1's - gt2860-?? but they have been high flowed to accommodate a 5mm larger front wheel so are a bit larger than normal spec.

i want to pump atleast 2bar thru them, currently they were pumping about 1.4-1.5bar

what bottom end am i going to need to cop the abuse? this rebuild will probably take up most of this year. and will be doing as much myself as i can.

and other parts required for rebuild purposes?

i'd probably want to spend around 8k on the motor..

cheers

Is it a stock motor currently?

from what i know, 33n1 pistons, n1 oil pump, cams and the rest is a bit unknown untill i pull it down.

i'd probably want to go with another oil pump to jun etc. and hope that there are baffles etc in the motor already.

i'm thinking of doing rods, pistons, oil pump, head and might modifiy the sump at my friends work to hold some moar oil.

Well ive just been down that path so lets see, maybe these numbers can help you out?!

Pistons (CP) $1200

Rods (if you go eagle and stay 2.6L) $700

Jun pump $1300 from CRD or $200 less if you know the right person

Baffles - depends on what you get. The trust sump extension is a good price for what you get, $450 delivered (nengun)

Head - $1500

It ads up fast doesnt it

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
