You've been waiting a whole day with no reply.

Tried and true places in the west with plenty of experience on RBs include

a) Hills $$$$

b) Unique Auto Sports $$$

c) Bel Garage $$$

d) Steve's Auto Barn $$

e) Croydon $$$$

$ = expense/Hr

Bels Garage = $$$$$$$$$

i have had exprience with these guys my mte went and got a 20 valve install in his AE86 took a fair few months and $12,000 later

and they said it was all because he retained the AC as they wanted to get rid of the AC and he said no he wanted it

The mods that were performed was--

Full exhaust+ headers

EMS STINGER ECU

New Clutch

4 air rams

Alloy radiator

every1 i talked to bout told me it was a basic job fiting the 20 valve as a plate is made up and put on the side but these guys tok like 4 months or more and charaged the earth.

But hey these guys might be good at RB's i dunno i went there with my Calais RB30/25 and they said they dont tune microtech and then went back later on they said they dont like tuning them but will do it for $600 i was like well if they dont like it i cant see them giving me the best tune they can i think ill go elswhere before i get a tune and lose a piston.

1st hnd exprience guys.

Birrong has a very fast VL if that floats your boat.

From what i know, they're very good at building very quick quarter mile cars.

I haven't used them, but i do know the owner is very passionate when it comes to cars.

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
