also thinking about using rb26 covers and such, they look much better with the breathers at the back not up the front...

will i have any problems using 26 tappet covers? iv heard il have to use 26 cam gear covers also? (what if i went clear?)

Cheers

Full monty clutch, hope it handles...

all the work is either getting done by myself or a good friend who works for ricky stephans (some people would know that name in the drag racing scene)

top guys to deal with though, and close to my work, so we can transport gear to them easily. got to love trade discount lol.

WELL.... After a few years, career change, city move, and a give up all together on this motor, it is finally running!!!

its been that long that i hardly remember all the parts used!

ill try and upload some photos but currently without a good tune its just pushed out 424.6HP on 13psi. im now running it in and will go back in 2-3 weeks for a proper tune at 13psi then a 20 and a 25... getting talked into a E85 tune also haha.

PLEASE ask me any questions you can think of and il try and get the spec's/answers.

Car has been sittin for that long that the front coilovers have seized and the rears have leaked and bounce away...

Just ordered a new set of coilovers, slotted rotors and new brake pads.

kind of surprised that after all this time the tyres havnt got flat spots or the car hasnt fallen apart with rust...lol

Wanted to go the 42R but i thought it would be to laggy, got a 35R on it now, but it builds boost from 2500rpm and full song so early...

ill see how it feels after the run in and tune and ill decide if i want to throw a 42 on it. :D

It's a 6boost one, ill try and get some better pics of it if you like.

Looking forward to getting it out of the run in tune tho, quite heavy on the fuel at the moment to be on the safe side.

yeh it was down there, looking pretty sad on the outside hey!? cant wait to get rid of those damn doors haha

Yeah...going to have to agree with the doors. Rims could do with a change too, engine is a keeper though.

Then again, I need a new engine and would be more than happy to take it off your hands lol

yeh, well picked up the car as a 5sp manual rb20det for $2200, then $2000 for bodykit/paint/tint, and the wheels were a straight swap for my standard gtst rims.

so ive spent the money on the motor and now everything can be worked up to go with it :)

been a budget car untill it come to the motor.

Sleeper as hell man. Also a owner of a R32 Gtst, just had the engine kill itself so a 25 with a plazman plenum and some other goodies will be calling the engine bay home soonish care of Trent and the rest of the Mercury guys.

Nothing but good cars rolling out of there, my mates S13 (PRN 13) is down there atm receiving a new engine and fuel system.

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
