Been a while so here is an update.

Double checked piston to valve over the weekend to get the headgasket thickness.

A 1.2mm Nitto gasket has been ordered which will give us a 9.0:1 CR :)

Waiting on a billet flywheel from the states, so engine should go in this week.

Paul did a great job with the engine mounts so it will hardly look like there is a RB30 in there :D

Mufflers came in so most of the exhaust fab will start this week.

Ill be heading up to Pauls next week to have the first look since the bay was painted etc.

Turning key on it very soon :)

Sorry Dave, looks like i will end up beating you at this rate haha

Modified twin turbo pipe should arrive tomorrow, ARC air filters still on their way (was going to go back to pods, but found filters for a price i couldnt say no to), exhaust is all just waiting to be put together and then its all systems go

Ok you win.

Even when this engine is in and running we still have another head here we are working on.

The HKS cams in the current head are great but need that big ass lumpy note for Powercruise :D

Tomei 270s :D

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
