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

setup antilag, guilt-toy was asked if his car had a V8 in it a few times with it running and he was on stock cams.

    • So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House  
    • 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. 
    • 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?
