If it's remotely relevant my old rb26 with 0.82 gt35 was making ~400rwkw with egt's (as measured approx 1" from the head) between 870-890degC on all cylinders after applying some pretty big corrections.

By comparison a friends rb with a t04z making a fair bit more power had egt's ranging between 860 and 910deg (a lot less work put into trimming individual cylinders). Both cars on pump 98.

Thats a good result from pump 98.

Drove it to the exhaust shop today, what a feeling it was.

At full noise the exhaust sounds almost stock! Driving around in traffic its a bit louder.

Could be registered next week :)

Been a quite hectic last couple of months, thinking I had plenty of time to get ready for Powecruise things went a bit pear shaped after the initial run it.

Noel,

I literally need 30 mins to type the never ending saga which is my relationship with this car over the last few months.

Short hand is:

Run in.

Noisy engine bay.

Weird fragments in sump and oil

Engine out

Oil pump rebuilt

Stripped and inspected bottom end

New clutch

New harmonic balancer (modified)

New gears and pulleys (modified)

New thermo fan setup

New complete hot side :)

and a $40 alternator lol

sounds normal to me Dave. :rofl:

We sorted the last major issue today which brought a smile to my face, then one of the oil cooler fittings WELDED to the cooler decided to explode. So off to Earls in the morning to see if I can get a new cooler under warranty.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
