Good stuff..

What power are you hoping to make?

Interesting Idler pulley postion.. Did the belt tension up okay? I presume you have kept the stock RB30 tensioner pulley postion?

I am about halfway through my own build! ust looking at the external oil drain and oil feed issues. What did you go for regards these?

Look forward to seeing the dyno results!

Also just saw you have the 800cc SARD injectors. Where did you get them and how much? what about the connectors? I presume you need to cut the OEM fittings off and splice on new ones? Do you know if they will fit an OEM fuel rail maybe with spacers under it?? Would appreciate the info if you know.

Cheers

I picked up my injectors from www.RHDjapan.com, i think they were $960 for all 6. From what I can see they should drop straight into the OEM rail, although I went for the SARD rail as well. The SARD rail comes with some blue o ring seals that sit on top of the injector. All of the SARD injectors i have seen new, have a new plug kit with each injector. The standard RB30 tensioner positions look like they tension the belt fine.

Not sure what you are referring to with regard to the oil feed and drain, as the 26 head doesn't have the VVT feeds.

what is your power goal & who is building this engine for you?

Hopefully we should get 420 to 450 rwKw, but this will all depend on how much the clutch will handle. Its only going through two wheels, so will be fun, previously the RB25 was putting out 235rwKw.

Advan in auburn, Sydney have done all my work - would highly reccomend them.

looks like youll beat me to it buddy.

i recently jsut took off the rb25 head and slappn on a 26. still deciding if i should keep the gt3540 or swap it over for a t04z.

please keep us posted.

p.s = do u rkn the 800 cc injectors are big enough for around 450rwkw?

try mitsi lancer/evo connectors. worked well on my sard injectors

  • 4 weeks later...
keep the posts comming with the progress, im interested to know how the tune goes, im looking to get advan to tune mine with a g4 as well

Ok so i finally finished 2000Kms for the run in - boy was that an effort. The engine was limited to 4500rpm and as the IAC is a little dodgy, idled at 1500rpm.

Combine that with a bitch cold start (actually any start), and super rich running (250kms to a tank) it was hard going.

She went in on Monday for a three day tune on the G4. Most of the work was trying to get constant AFR's under load, and then boosting up and adding fuel.

Phone call today to say that there was a few problems..........

Given the amount already spent, my date started twitching!!!

Apparently stock clutch is slipping (thank god thats all), currently making 350rwKW on 10PSi. So she is being backed down to 9PSi, until i can flick a twin plate in there.

Happily should get around 20PSi on full boost, so unless anything else goes nicely on my way to 400+KW.

I'll keep you posted

Mike, are you not at all worried ?

id be getting a new tuner...3 days to tune a G4...ffs...we had our circuit car tuned with a new Vi-PEC/G4 on the weekend. Light load stuff then took 3 power runs to get a constant 11.5 AFR...all up did 6-7 power runs until the Vi-PEC logs showed a CAS error (factory Nissan). 390AWKW @ 17psi with 17 deg advance on BP98...will make 450AWKW with its eyes shut after a new CAS is fitted and we throw some more boost at it. All done from scratch in a few hours on Saturday afternoon.

We get the Vi-PEC/G4 guru's do our cars though...they know what they are doing. Id be pissed having someone flogging my car for days on end on the dyno learning with my money.

All that on top of running an engine in for that period and having it rich.

Good ECU choice though...I have a Vi-PEC V88 in my 1000hp drag car...its the sh1t...only took 8 power runs to tune it too.

yes i had my car tuned before with another 2 tuners who took 3 days each - that was a disaster...my current tuner gets it done whilst you wait

each to their own

Thats because you use one of the best tuners in Aust. Marko who knows exactly what he is doing.

If a workshop needed my car for more than 1 day and possibly the next morning to tweak the cold start id be concerned.

How does he tune the cold start and run when the engine isn't cold?

Jim at CRD never had my car overnight...he simply knows where it has to be. This is what you pay for...experienced operators are worth the money.

I could reach into the car and turn the key...and the engine would fire into life everytime when cold.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
