Thanks Nick, from what we can barely see, it looks good. hahahah just kidding. From what i know, These are a forged crank. they are not full counterweighted ie 8 counterweights instead of 12. Still a very nice crank though. What pistons did you end up choosing for your kit? cooling channel? Please add better pictures when you get them. I'm sure the rest of the members would love to see it!

I'm liking the looks of that head work, quite nice...

Yeah i know the pics are a bit dodgy at the moment, but hopefully in the next week or so i can get some better pics. I went the lazy route and just got the full kit, so tomei rods and the tomei cooling channel pistons. And your valves/springs etc. look quite similar to the ones i am using as well :)

hmm I like the good head job :)

Roy, can you shed some more light regarding these cams? I am keen to know by what you mean "peaky with a big hole in response".

I cant wait to see this baby on the dyno.

While waiting on the final stages of the head work, There were A LOT of little bits and pieces to buy. Most of the bolts etc were from other rb26's Daz and I had accumulated over the years. I reckon we'd have quite a few rb26's just in parts!

Most vaccum hoses, clamps, pipes etc on the plenum and intakes were over 15years old so I bought all these new from Nissan. Most of these had to come from Japan...... more waiting.....

This pipe was ordered too.

This oil thingy was not included on a bare block either. Old one was hard to remove.

New studs for intake side for plenum

Also a Nismo Repair Gasket Kit was ordered from Japan. this consists of all the seals and gaskets found in the engine (except half moon seals), a tube of 3 bond, and a 1.2mm metal head gasket. This repair gasket kit is also available in Nissan form however a factory head gasket instead of the Metal one. A great kit!

The Nismo metal head gasket was ditched because i wanted to UP the compression for response. The Nismo repair gasket kit did not offer anything smaller than 1.2mm. Also all the other gaskets that mattered ie exhaust manifold gasket, intake manifold gasket, throttle body gaskets were still made from factory materials. In their place i replaced them with a Tomei gasket combination kit. This kit had all the gaskets mentioned but in metal. The kit also included the Tomei oil gallery orafice as well. Tomei offered gaskets in 1.0 1.2 1.5 1.8 and 2.0! I got the 1.0 for the purpose mentioned.

Head porting is like a black art for me.

When does a light port becomes too much, hurt mid range response and is only good for top end?

that's the problem. you wont know till you bolt it on and try it. the only real way to learn it trial an error. you will almost certainly port a lot of heads that end up worse than they were standard before you start getting them right. which is why it's important to go somewhere that has done lots of RB26 heads as every engine is different.

Yeah, really happy with it. Andre did a really good job. He's been doing it for years now, so i totally trust his work. He has his own flowbench too. The head is also CC'd as well. He charges so very reasonable considering the time spent on it. The head took some time to do as it is not Andre's main line of work anymore. He just does it in his spare time. When i showed JHH they were very happy with it, and said that if they were to charge for something like this it would cost between 4 and 4.5k! I couldnt believe it! I didnt know it could cost sooooo much! I'd never spend that sort of money on a headjob. :P I was stoked! I guess with headwork its like asking "how long is a piece of string?"

Very nice Nick! Cooling channel pistons! I have always wondered how they actually make these. They are a forged piston so how do they make the channel? Nick, when you're ready to do the hoses and clamps, let me know. I can get some pretty good prices on the Nissan stuff. I've spent enough with them!

i have heard that this is great for drag cars, but may not be good for street. is this true? what benefits and gains can be expected? how does this affect response?

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      Any recommendations on a decent replacement manifold that doesnt break the bank or require additional mods for the stock turbo setup? I figure if I'm going to pull the manifold off anyway to fix the studs might as well replace it.

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      So I checked the turbo out today. Very minimum play at all just enough for the oil to take up when it's running. I did find an exhaust leak at the manifold. 1 stud all the way in the front is missing and the one all the way in the back is broken off. Front has visible signs of an exhaust leak. I'll fix that soon but that's not my problem still.  I also found that the nipple coming off the turbo had the hose capped off and a hose ran from the j-pipe by the bov going to the wastegate. I removed that hose and capped that nipple and put the turbo nipple hose back on the wastegate.  There was a ton of oil residue all through the charge side of the intercooler piping going to the throttle bodg. I'm thinking that's from the pcv. Doesn't seem to be coming from the turbo that was all clean on the pipes side.  Haven't had a chance to check fuel pressure yet, haven't had time been having to pull a lot of doubles at work. I did pick up some carb cleaner to clean the iacv but wanted to make sure I had a fresh gasket in case the old one rips when I pull it off.  I'm waiting on a MAF that was supposed to be here today but delayed to Monday. Have a double Monday and Friday and work all of next weekend so going to try to find some time in the middle of the week to try that out. Did about a 10m trip around the block today and towards the end the issues were coming back. Fingers crossed on this MAF but if not just going to throw a fuel pressure gauge in and see where I'm at.  Did notice today that I can definitely hear the injectors pulsing. Very audible clicking coming from them. Assuming that's normal? Should also mean CAS is functioning somewhat properly. After it warmed up when I started it the intermittent misfires came in again. Did start doing that before it was fully warmed up.

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.
