R32 Gtr! Blown A Head Gasket, What Else Can I Do?


Recommended Posts

Hi Guys, I have a 1994 R32 GTR Veilside Evolution Widebody and have just blown a head gasket, funnily i drive the car with a huge amount of respect and never give it a hard time, a squirt here and there Yes, a hard time Never. Anyway, I am taking the car in to do the head gasket and was wondering what other bits and pieces I can get done while its in there.

Im thinking Turbo upgrade, Power FC but what are the other main things without going into a re build, as my engine is very healthy,

Oil Pump??

Hose Kit??

Engine Bearings??

Any help would be greatly appreciated, Im looking to get about 300kw at the wheels on a safe tune as its my everyday driver.

Cheers.

Jamie

Engine rebuild, suspension, brakes, exhaust, rings, pistons, pumps, oil catch can, fuel reg, turbo, gate, the list goes on and on.... all depends on how much $$ u wanna spend...

Good luck with the fix :blush:

Ok I have a $6k budget, Im planning on Turbo's and Power FC. I have Brembo's and new after market suspension already on it, looking at getting new slotted rotors as well. Obviously clutch will need upgrading so that will probably go in as well.

You should consider fitting an L31 stroker in, everyone knows they have much more power than an RB26 :blush:

OK....really, I'm not considering cost here but - oil cooler, turbos, front/dump pipes, oil pump, fuel pump + reg (if needed), Power FC and Exhast if needed.

Depending on K's you migth consider doing the bearings\seals and timing belt while the engine is apart.

Cheers Guys, I will chat with the boysd at Creatd and find out more about these items. Look forward to filling you in with what was done and also will post some pics of car when I get it back.

Update. Head Gasket has shat itself and Im going to do steel head gasket, injectors, rods, turbos, PFC, front pipes, clutch and shoot for anywhere between 300-340AWKW.

Will have it back next week and will post a new thread with Pics for everyone to have a squiz at and tell me what they think.

Cheers.

    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
