yeah all bolted on gonna see how it goes but still looking for a good bare head..

id build you one but my head guy is soooo slllloooowwww that you wouldn't have it till next year!

if he didn't do such a bloody good job id send them elsewhere...he's starting to piss me off somewhat.

its an unfortunate way of the world that when someone is so good they are in high demand...but my patience is starting to run out with this one...who takes 6 weeks off at christmas thats not at school?

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. damn straight such a wang he is......

just like the guy down further aswell ant... good on v8's cant stand the fidly 6's.... i walked out wen he was talking to me bcuz he was just spinning me shit... + he told me to buy a 26 head cuz there hydraulic so he doesnt need to shim them up wen building it.... i laughed in his face and said well thats how much u know and walked out....

and i was refering to my head earlier pauly.... has he kept going on it or still lazing around??

also paul... those shims i saw in the oil pump box.... wat did u end up doing with them... i figured they are to shim up the pressure release valve to increase or decrease the pressure????

thats correct....they wont be required...but mark will check the pressure on start-up to see if they are needed. ive already addressed this with him and he said with the clearances ive used the pump should be ok out of the box.

ok sweet not that im trying to double check ur work or nethin i just wanted to know wat actually went into it etc.... tis good to know for future reference

ill write 'oil pump shims' on the packet so you know what they are for.

done deal....

Red R Racing RB28 T04Z 272 Stage 2.5 Head tuned by Godzilla...running RWD.

Sounds good eh ?

there only 270's paul.... also it sounds like a pain in the arse on the street tis all i will say lol

have also been discussing with paul my exhaust housing size.... atm ive got a .81 but the .96 housing seems that it may have been a better option... the only problem is to the manifold i have is single entry not twin entry so im gonna have to check if they make a single entry .96.... will also have to get the housing made to suite my wastegate inlet pipe... ahhh more mucking around

it will be nice and responsive with the 0.81...if you want less response and more top end i think the 0.96 would suit. Dave's 2.6 doesn't seem to want to make any more than 450awkw with the .81 no matter what i do to the tune or fuel type. Ive put it down to the rear housing being unable to flow the air mass...you having the extra 200cc and a better head will find it even tougher to 'move' the air through it...hence the idea of the larger rear.

Being a RWD though the 0.81 might be easier on the tyres, driveline and might be easier for you to keep it pointing in the direction you actually want to go. :)

my thoughts exactly.... either way im pricing up a .96 rear made to suite so we'll see how much they are..... but seriously 450rwkw should be plenty through a street cars rear wheels only...

just double checking since u didnt reply that plate that sits behind the cams gear did u strip the paint off it. or is it still all good...

    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
