Hos high is the turbo sitting? Or is it just the angle of the photo. Would think you could have bonnet clearance problems, or at least need to protech yourbonnet paint from temps? .. Great looking engine

That is how it sits, it will clear the bonnet and i have reflective high temp adhesive above the turbo/gate.

What turbo, I thought you were going to order a GTX35?

Its a GT35R, the new head and turbo (GTX35R) will go on just before powercruise.

Is that a standard water pump??

Standard RB30 pump.

Engine bay looks nice and clean!

Why is the turbo so high?

lol. I remember a bloke with a super high single and bonnet closure problems.... who was it again? :ph34r:

and I do enjoy the VL super high mount. be a bastard cleaning all the dead bugs out of the mesh though... :down:

Seeing as i work nights i dont expect many phone calls or texts at the wee hours of the morning, so i was a little surprised at 2am when i get sent these:

Paul was up all night putting some finishing touches on the engine before the install this week. The hours spent on this project to date can add up to weeks. All the fine detail work takes alot of time!

I am very grateful for all the effort he has put in on this thing and i believe it is as much his as it is mine.

VCT? its still a 25 until next year?

I thought the stock VCT was just a solenoid on the left which interacts with the head, didn't think it did anything with the cam gear. I also thought it was on the exhaust cam only, but could be completely wrong.

Reason I ask is there are full adjustable (change based on rpm) cam gears that look similar to what is on his intake cam, they are around $3000 though from what I've seen, fairly complex piece of hardware.

nah, take a look at all RB25DET cam gear covers, all have the bulge for that camgear

    • 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)
