Nytsky's Engine Build

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

Interesting, there you go.

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.

lol because I didnt know what the vct on the cam gear looked like?

Yes. Given that these engines outnumber all other rb's by a wide margin you should wear sack cloth and ashes for at least a month.

Engine in.

Dump pipe made.

Just some little things to finish off before we fire it up.

You get the braided clutch line from me on Friday?

Glad to see your engine done and car almost ready.

However, it would be nice of Paul to respond to sms's and answer/return phone calls...

Yeh got it, but the engine was already in, so ill put off installing it until everything is ready to go.

[PM-R33]

Ah ok fair enough

[FST513]

Soooo.... I just read 68 pages in a day of work (yeah i'm awesome) and i want to know how this beast is going!!!!!!!

[r33_racer]

Yeh whats the latest! This combo is looking quite promising.

[mattis96]

also enjoy reading all the updates on this car as well.

Just wondering on what clutch and flywheel you are using?

And what cat converter have you ended up with choosing?

[NYTSKY]

Exhaust is finished, work of art! I bought 2 cats, one 5inch 400cpi Euro 4 and one 5inch 100cpi.

Still the same clutch but bought an alloy flywheel from the states.

Should have the car home very soon, just some minor things to tidy up.

thats gonna be one sexy exhaust

ive always been a fan of the lobster back bends as i appreciate the workmanship involved - nothing beats it!

is there a performance gain from this though as 1 would think that a mendrel bend would flow better as it is a smooth curved edge & there is no weld edge on the inside of the pipe - i guess the difference is within a bees d1ck anyway lol

past the cat it makes no difference, especially at 4 inches!
