not to sound dumb or any thing but what breathers and acc feed ??

yer ive wanted to do this for ages now i just for it and it turned out good very thin stuff to weld thou need patience

oil breathers, the back pipe that goes from the fitting on the plenum to the black fittings that are on the top of the engine, on the cam covers, then to the intake.

aac valve feed. the 20-25mm pipe at the back of the engine that usually goes on a fitting just before the throttle body on the stock pipe. without this your cars idle wont be stable.

im talkin about the ic piping from tge plenum and im gonna have to weld something at the back for that black hose to attach to and for the other breathers im making a catch can to go where my battery is as my battery is moving to the boot

i'll put up picks in the next week or so of the 2 rb20's ive done ic piping one.. im in the process of doin fmic piping on a rb20 silvia at the moment.. after thats done i'll try get pics up

im not actually a fan of that style of ic piping with the factory manifolds but looks ok.. be sure to put up pics once you've finished.

sounds good, just not much detail in your first post :thumbsup:

what material did you use thats so thin? most alloy tubing i see is pretty thick

it was 1.6mm half of it is the stock pipe and i bought a 180 DEGREE bend it was hard to weld because it was a buut joint and you need the rightn pulse and frequincy along with the correct amps of course

cool man will be good to see some stuff youve put together,yer i cant afford a forward facing plenum yet so i just wanted to take off the stock pipe that crosses the block

shit yer ,man that looks nice are you a fabricator of some sort or is this just week end work either way very nice work

thanks not quailited just done alot and lot of work with in the metal industry as a labourer.. did start doin an apprentiship as a boily however i have umm how do you say it.. problems with authority lol

the piping jobs i do are more of a hobby and to help people out who have been quoted stupid bullshit prices for the work.. would probaly look at it more as a business adventure however theres just not enough work for it up here and not many people want to pay for a top job.. they'd rather spend 3/4 the price for a cheap shitty chinese supposely "bolt on" kit..

    • 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.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • 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?
