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.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
