im going to be using a surge slotted TO4Z with .84 housing, 44mm gate,

now i want this to have some power,400kw maybe.... :banana: obviously it wont be always tuned like that..

so i know ill need to upgrade the oil pump,

is there anything else you more experienced people can help with?

cheers, ill keep progress updated

-Sell the cams, get something more suited

-Agreed with Shane

-What manifold will you use? ebay or something like a 6 boost? (I used ebay and it was fine, BTW a 44mm gate and to4z sounds awesome when its loaded up)

-Make sure the thrust on the crank is ok and that the crank is usable, there's SO many stuffed ones out there

What car is it going into?

Not sure why it hasnt been decked, but am going to get it done, i bought the block already built.

yeah will def have restrictors

what sort of cams would you suggest?

nah wouldnt bother putting it in just to pull it out to change oil pump, will be done before it goes in.

will be using a 6Boost manifold

what do you mean by making sure the thrust on the crank is ok?

270's or 272s' with 10.25mm lift would be a good start - or even 280's. Get as much lift as you can. Dont forget springs aswel

Yes the thrust on the crank, it will be in a lot of trouble if you have a clutch with a big clamping pressure so get a clutch that matches what you want and isnt a heap of overkill

I learnt that lesson about not checking for end float :( Had to pull the engine out, cost me the crank machining, new set of mains and a new oil pump.

If it wasn't caught when it was, would have been up for a new block aswell :D

Tomei oil pump is a must have for big power engines. (not that I can afford one, its just a suggestion)

You should probably start getting all the fittings and small stuff now because it can all stack up to big $$$ and you dont want to be buying crap hoses or belts because you already spent all your cash on the bigger expensive bits.

(Redline oil, bigger sump, high flow braided oil/water lines and fittings, second belt tensioner, quality silicon joiners and hose clamps, high tensile bolts for clutch, locking nuts for turbo, good turbo gaskets, high flow intake setup, breather system and catch can, etc).

Another thing you want to keep in mind is engine bay space, my RB30/26 with high mount T04z hits the cam cover on the strut brace and the turbo has 2mm to move before it hits the strut tower. This is in a R32 gts-t.

If you want 400rwkw's and you want it to last you have to be willing to spend some money.

yeah, i know, little things do add up,

im looking at one of the external pump set ups on here at the moment,

id rather do it right the first time

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
