If you don't mind me asking, how loud was the belt before the failure?

Both Adam at JEM and Dave listened to the belt and it sounded good...it was the bolt that failed. Recently another bolt has failed in an engine in Melbourne. Ive re-engineered the set-up now as 15 year old bolts may have a fair bit of fatigue and may have been the cause....not the belt tension.

is it worth replacing the idler bearing bolt then in future builds?

ive designed something a little bit better than that...im just waiting to see the final product from suppliers and ill post it up. If it doesnt work im going to use a high tensile cap bolt with a slightly improved thread length.

but yes as a minimum id recommend fitting new genuine bolts with each bearing and belt kit fitted.

good luck with it. hope you get some good results after some rotten luck. looking forward to seeing what you get.

It can only get better after having an engine let go.

But yes cant wait to get behind the wheel of it. Ill have to learn how to drive it again, im getting used to the power of a 1.5L FWD ;)

Does anyone have a part number for the bolt? Also Dirtgarage let me know if your design works as I am in the process of building my RB26DETT from an R32 and want this done right, read about some bolts failing in the US and it has me quaking in the boots after buying some new Tomei parts.

Wow its been a long time.

Engine will be picked up on Sat afternoon. Still waiting on some shiny bits to turn up before we can put the engine in though.

Purchased all oils,plugs and filters today.

In the mean time the car has had the new suspension installed. Will be swapping the Bride seat out for something a little more hugging.

And also got around to putting my HID kit in.

I read this whole post last night, started at 2am and fell asleep with the laptop on my stomach. Dave I hope you get to enjoy this weapon for a long time to come once she is back in good health. It sounds like you have the right people involved!

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By djr81 · Posted

      Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
