The R31 Drift Pig

[evsr31]

So after blowing the gearbox I thought f**k this, and ripped it out. 25det to go in!

I did some stuff tonight as it hasn't been so hot, removed the p/s rack, bushes were shagged!

Cleaned the engine bay and removed about what I think is close to 1kg of dirt / grime / sand / rubber / crap from the cross-member.

Stuff going in -

Reconditioned rack (basically new) with lock spacers fitted

nolathane rack bushes

solid steering coupling from gktech.

This combined with the rose jointed rack ends, should feel like new.

Prep wash ftw.

New steering in, reco'd rack, nolathane rack bushes, solid steering spacer, that mixed in with my rose jointed tie rod end junk should be sick!

Pic of front end, after recovery!

That's all folks for now, rb25det is being picked up this weekend!

Been a while, not sure who will read this but thought I'd update with some pics of progress n that.

So I got a s1 rb25, overhauled all seals so rear main, crank, cam seals. Did water pump and put on gates timing belt + new tensioner / idler, painted covers, replaced all heater hoses all that kind of junk. Anyway I'll let the pics do the talking.

had a forward facing plenum made, velocity stakes on each runner.

Pretty in pink

Got myself an oil cooler and hooked that up.

Surge tank setup!

Had it tuned and the car made 209.8rwkw on around 13.5psi bleeding off to around 13 - 12.8 due to rb25 actuator, short runners let it down a bit in the mid range but i have the solution.. further on in this thread.

So I took her out to round 2 of g1, some piccies.
