hey everyone i have recently delivered all my parts down to Red R Racing- paul in newcastle to build my 26 tomei stroker motor. its going into an r33gtst shown down further.

all paul is doing is putting together a long motor minus all covers etc due to im doing the rest of the work.

so far ive aquired

Bottom end:

Tomei 8 counter crank stroker kit.

Tomei oil pump

Tomei lifters

Tomei cam stud kit. due to high lift cams

Tomei oil restrictor.

N1 water pump

N1 block.

ARP head and main stud kits.

Top end:

Tomei cam gears.

gates racing timing belt.

brand new idler and tensioner pulleys.

and the head i brought a lil while ago from a bloke off sau his sau name goes by WIDEBODYR32. the head came with 1mm oversize ferrera valves inlet and exhaust. 280deg @ 11.8lift kelford cams. standard buckets. performance springs. yes yes i know thos cams are big for a street car but meh y not. head also has had abit of porting work but its abit rough so im sure paul will clean it up for me.

all this will be bolted onto a all custom etm manifold with a garret t04z .81ex housing. with a 44m tial wastgate 4inch dump pipe and screamer etc

aswell as purchasing a hypertune single throttle plenum due to running a apexi power fc d-jetro so for easy of tuning etc

im chasing around the 600 to 620 hp mark..... dyno wise that is. on the street all i want is traction lol but i can see it being quite abit of an issue with sum a motor and only 265's to put it through.... also trialing standard gbox and diff and halfshafts against such power to see how long it will last.

also put up a picture of my old setup.

ne comments ppl would be gr8ly appreciated

cheers.

Yes Simon, boxes of topline Jap parts including a fresh N1 block still in the plastic have arrived ready to accept a catalogue of bits mostly from the Tomei stable.

Will upload some pics and info for you as it progresses.

yes yes i did back wen i owned a dirty vs commodore. and no i dont sell the E tabs ive never touched drugs in my life lol starting to wish i did tho would make things easier hahahaha. i just have a nice plump lil loan goin lol but to me this build is a major thing so ive had to search around for quite abit to see who i could trust with all these parts and also not cost me half the price of the parts to build the damn thing. had one quote which was around the 9g range to machine and assemble with a few extra parts which i said no freaking way to. then got talking to paul and he gave me a reasonable quote still with quality work and his past engines to back it up.... win win i say.

I received a phone call from Paul after your gear arrived and i must say it will be an impressive engine.

I was 20 once and to have all that power under your right foot will be very tempting. I hope you have a good head on your shoulders.

Good luck with it all.

P.S Is that turbonetics turbo on your car now? What type is it?

well heres how it goes i brought that turbo a lil while back now its a turbonetics HP61 650Hp according to john from townsville turbo supplies who sold it to me. the turbo was on the car for about 7 months and was set to 19 psi. i lost my license for defects and crossin double white lines gahhhhhhhhhh. so i took it off the road. i started to notice a buzzing noise from turbo wen car got switched off and i was pullin motor out neways so i didnt think to much of it. wen i got motor out i took turbo off and sent it back to tts and john rang me and said mate i havent seen a turbo this back in 20 years. im like WTF wat did i do he says the oil was boiling inside the turbo and has stuffed the bearings and he tells me i was using shit oil. i turn around and say 80bucks a bottle tells me i aint my friend royal purple 10-40. plus the person who fitted the turbo in the frist place tells me that it had a 2yr warranty then john says one yr and bcuz i left it too long the warranty ran out. 2g for a new core and i payed 2950 outrite for it wen i brought it. i told em to put it in a box and send it back hell i brought my new t04z for 2g,s lol

in regards to spool time on this turbo it would start making boost about 2800 and be on solid by 4 and thats on a stock rb25. one thing i will miss is the whistle it would make on spool up lol.

neways ne other questions feel free to ask?

today i was informed that the stroker kits are not just a drop into block item because of change of stroke apparently block needs to be clearanced.... cant wait to see all this come together

block needs the small reliefs found inside a STD block to be recut and radiused a further 1-1.5mm due to the increased stroke. Fresh N1 block will be delivered with the head to the machinist Friday morning, and reciprocating components will be off to Sydney to be balanced....yes brand new stroker kits need balancing too!. Head is undergoing a Stage 2 port job and will have all the 'fruit' installed as mentioned in 1st post.

Ummm traction issues start in a gts-t at about half that power - good luck :laugh:

me know this......

tis y we get sticky tyres wen i wanna use it all. will be interesting to see how it goes tho

all i gotta do is watch toprpm to see how im gonna be even tho it is a gtr i seem to only ever see it in rwd.

you rear half shafts may become rear quarter shafts before too long.

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
