Zebra's 2010 Mra Gts-t Build

[zebra]

Lol yes I did....couldnt bring myself to sell somthing that ive poured so much time, money and effort....even with all those nice GTR's and 180s floating around for cheap

[zebra]

heres how it sits as I type..new catch can can be seen on the beaver panel...still gotta figure out when it will fit.

I think the thead name should be changed to ...2015 MRA build...this is gonna take a while lol

[Duncan]

Yeah...stupid cars!!!

in other news the car now has a great big bloody towel rack bolted to the boot...ill get some pics tomorrow, and my manifold gaskets should turn up tomorrow...so hopefully it will be running again on the weekend

I'm liking this VERY MUCH!

Let me know how you find the new turbo, as I want to pull my turbo + mani off soon and replace it with a bit of a smaller turbo, purely to bring boost on sooner... Thinking a GT3076 or GT3540... (On the 3L)

That's if it holds together on Thursday!

[zebra]

if you want to downsize to a 3540 wtf do you have now???

heres a pic of the new towel rack too

[evil_weevil]

New cast rb30e pistons and hastings moly rings

De burring any casting marks...there are quite a few =\

[Noddy]

kewl. Which head are you going to use?

[zebra]

Going to use the 25det head ive already go.

not going to do much to it, just clean the ports up and whack in some new stiffer valve springs.

1... Throw that idea in the bin.

2... Sell me your 25 head and forward facing plenum.

3... You go buy a 26dett head.

4...

5... No profit, but lots of win...

As for my turdbro...

Ignore my engine bay, as LOTS has changed since this pic...

[zebra]

that is rather large, looks like a td-07 or 08?

I would love a 26 head, but that would mean changind just about everything i have lol

[kwickr33]

Just out of interest. Did you actually made your own pistons?

[zebra]

nah i wish lol

they are just cast replacments from precision, i just like cleaning every thing up, as rough edges are more prone to breakage than smooth ones, just have to careful not to take too much weight off a single piston compared to the rest.

[Noddy]

you know that a 26 head is an easier fit. no block mods needed

[zebra]

yeah, its somthing to consider, but changinf to a 26 head would be a $5k + exersize, by the time i buy a head, turbo's, dump pipes, new injectors etc etc.

So im happy to stick with the 25 head and pay a few bucks to have the water gallery welded up and delete VCT

[BezerkR32]

hey mate looking good, hurry up, track days waiting.

[MBS206]

Actually, the 26 head needs the head studs tapped out bigger in the block.

The 25 requires a touch of weld and hey presto, bobs your uncle.
