Yep........................................................but only lasted 200km :)

Noticed a slight oil leak that was traced to a leak through the block. Engine is now stripped again and getting rebuilt into a new block.

Those 200km produced a grin from ear to ear, every time i drove it.

Run-in tune dyno graphs and comparisons:

Nah didnt, its cheap chinese sh!t - ill get a decent one for it soon enough from him, just dying to drive it again (its been like 3 years or so, yeah im actually waking up thinking about it in the middle of the night). Once its run in ill get a new manifold for it, aswel as some other bolt on parts :P

Washers under the bonnet are your friend... :happy:

Actually, on this topic, I want to lower my RB25/30 that resides in my R33 GTS-t...

What engine mounts can I go out and buy, that will directly bolt in, and lower the motor down?

Thanks All!

Appreciate your encouragement.

Hopefully car will be back on the road in the next two weeks, then i have to run it in (2 weeks), get it retuned, then install other suspension components and get it set-up for track/motorkahna. This should all be done within 2 months, so yes the car will be ready, barring any unforeseen problems/issues. At this stage i have no intension to enter DECA Masters; new engine set-up, new suspension set-up, and brakes, i will not have enough time to play around with it and get use to the new set-up. If entries are low for the Masters, i will enter but will not be "competing" to win. Either way, i will be up there to help/volunteer.

I will be at the 2nd DECA.

Ive gone with the factory plenum changed to front facing, and am using a high mount gt35/40 replica turbo. Will i still fit the strut brace overtop or will i have to end up taking to the bonnet with my angle grinder? Id like to keep it all looking subtle so no-one will suspect a thing but if i dont have a choice il get cutting.

What the hell is a GT35/40 replica turbo? :P

Is it one of those eBay special China turbos that hand grenade after 5 dyno passes?

well today didnt actually drive the car much....paulo @ keep were trying to map the power FC for RB30...with 0piston's FC-Dataloggger, had some computer problems at the end so we decided to stop there and fix the computer...

while Gerard @ keep were doing the hood...cutting out the CF so the hood would fit.

here are the pictures

spent the whole day doing this...but still didn't fit

so we gave up and cut the whole thing out instead

Im a bit worried that the cam gears and cam covers are going to an issue for me. the turbo is fair big as well.

Is there a bonnet like the one above that is a raised flat instead of having the fake vent's?

(why is there a naked guy next to you in the reflection on the CF?)

      Airbox for +T

      By BuiltNotBought · Posted

      I get you, we’ll see I’m aiming for 200ish kw now and hopefully 300rwkw down the line after some upgrades maybe like headstuds, E85 flex fuel etc  so trying to make it final for that now, I can get a GTT airbox for $280 so it’s not too bad but not sure if there’s better ways to spend that money. I seen online they say pod filter which isn’t enclosed isn’t good especially for a plus T.      hard to say what to do

      Airbox for +T

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Meh. How much power can you make from a +T anyway? I wouldn't have though it would be enough to challenge the airbox. It's not as if it's tiny compared with the turbo one. As to putting a pod in a stock airbox .... it's not the filter element that would be restrictive. It would be the air inlet to the box that would be the narrow point, which you could open up regardless of what element was inside. On my R32 I opened up the sort of triangular opening in the bottom front corner of the box, deformed (heated, moulded) some 4" stormwater pipe to fit to that opening and punched a 4" hole down through the inner guard to the spot where the stock intercooler used to be. This was purely in the search for a cold intake, but you could do something similar if you need to open up the inlet side of it. The AFM tube size is the same for both NA and turbo, so the outlet from the airbox is same same anyway. If you're going to do the right thing, then an aftermarket ECU won't care about the AFM (ie, you can get rid of it). But even if it was still there, people pull >300rwkW through them all day, and I suspect you won't be going there.

      By BuiltNotBought · Posted

      Doing a +T on my car and I’ve read the precious forums lots of mixed reviews from sometime back.  checking if anyone has any ideas for airbox or enclosed pod filter or solutions?  I was thinking stock GTT box but some say it’s restrictive? I seen some people try fit in a pod in the box anyone done that recently?  not any good enclosed options ? Thanks
