Ill get you a few photos duncan.

Yep Chris, I went to bens place for a few minor bits and it was easier to bring the entire car home with me.

It will be an updated version of my current car with more coin thrown at it.

Im doing a cage similar to duncan and marks but a bit more comprehensive and another Dry sump etc etc etc.

Reading about GTR sumps................does anyone want a Gibson baffled and winged sump? No longer used on the BSM GTR due to dry sumping for Sports Sedans. Has external fittings, head drain back etc, pick up, all the good stuff for a 100% reliable circuit GTR wet sump. I'll pop over to the For Sales section and post it up tommorow.

Cheers

You and Stevo can get custom bonnets together. LOL

It sure does look good though, do you have an approximate finish date. I would love to see it at EC on the 23rd of Nov.

Your a funny guy,,,November,,,which bloody year.

Let me get my head around Raceworx schedule. We have to build Duncans engine,,,finish off his front end,,,play with his rear end and whatever else has to be done. This will all be done in the heat of summer. I was called a bludger on Sunday but did anybody you look at the days temps,,,KISS IT BOSS,,,THE STAFF WENT ON STRIKE. It was bloody hot and it only gets worse from here on in. In the mean time we have to get a gassed up GTR going,,,play more with the nugget and maybe even start on Marky's targa car.

Ah life sweet and easy sometimes.

At least my cars still going,,,which will,,,by the way need Marky to help me put headlights in very very soon.

Oh I did mention I'm getting too old for this shit,,,I think I have many times.

Love as always

Neil.

Dunc,

How are you gonna run the piping into and out of the Flux capasitor....from what I can see its gonna be a bloody tight bend into the intake manifold and are you gonna run the hot side piping over the radiator?

BTW loving the big brakes in the 17"s

Zebra,

The pics are deceptive, the outlet from the intercooler is basically in the same spot as the standard one, just higher up. We could cut down a standard intercooler pipe and it would fit, except that the intercooler fitting is 3" so too big.

Hey Mark and Duncan getting there, and tell me you are not running shinny hard crack for sure manifolds on a race car??

Giant runs stock cast, NO CRACK, manfiolds with no probs and makes big power. Factory manifolds are not a bad design unlike the zeds. Ported and extrude honed even better, although can't get any more I may have one set left.

ahaha I think you've got the schedule right Neil. pretty sure there are 2 cages to be done in the next few weeks too. ya bludger.

Zebra, thanks to my 1337 paint skillz, here is the cooler piping - nice and short, about 1/3 standard length.

John....yep they are genuine guaranteed to crack crappy chinese manifolds. turbos weren't going to fit in standard location and don't have standard flanges either. so we figured it was better to chop up these pretty chinda manifolds.

What we didn't see coming was how uneven the flanges were - can't be used until we machine the surface flat.

BTW how is our subframe coming along? do we get to bolt shiney bits on the rear this long weekend?

No we don't get to put anymore shiny bits on the bloody nugget. We get to push the nugget out of the way and get either your GTR worked on or Marks roady worked or even both.

The foreman has spoken.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
