hey guys, ive just got my rb25 block and rb26 crank back from the machine shop and i was planning on getting it Cryotemp frozen. ive heard it works really well. milanco had that et pulsar that ran 11s and all it had was all the internals cryo'd. also my work mate had his 2lt turbo pinto block done and after 2 meets it had to be pulled down cause of a knock to find a cracked bore. could have just been a dodgey cast from factory though... has any1 else had good/bad experiences with cryotempering? thanks, adam.

nismoid, im hoping to get around 500rwhp out of it. ive got forged rods/pistons, type a cams and springs, lots of headwork and alot of money lol the list goes on of all the usual mods. that why i thought while it was out i might aswell do what i can do strengthen up the block and crank while im at it. its not 400rwkw but i dont like things near there limits, id rather overdo something the 1st time rather then not and be paying for it big time later on..

its not near the limit, was my point.

a stock setup crank will go well over 450rwkw +

Had before, will do many many more times.

Cryo is a big thing here in the states. Guys have their blocks done, cranks, rods, pistons even bearings. I've never heard anything but people talking good about it. So if you have the extra coin, why not just get it done to be safe right?

used it on gear box internals with mixed results, it is hard to quantify the results and really depends on what your getting cryo treated. I find the jap stuff seems to be better material than stock over say the old yank V8 iron that is really driving the cryo bus.

Another good point ... If you have the money, why not just buy the best of the best parts. Then you should not have to cryo treat!

thanks for the info! got a quote today, $180 for the crank and block. going to drop it off on friday and will be ready by monday.

i would love to have the money to buy the best of the best lol by the time this engine is finished it will be owing me 18k, thats with me doin all the work, so i dont really wanna blow out anymore than i already have. an extra $180 is very affordable compared to say a new block and crank.

thanks for all the input guys, adam.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
