Just Another Rb24

Had this spacer made up so the throttle body clears the valve cover. Was going to go with a phenolic material but, the thickness made doing it in aluminum easier. Also picked up some other goodies recently.

updates??

[jdmser]

Finally something to update. The block is back home. I'm going to pick up a set of the Reimax oil pump gears and then start on final assembly. Want to add on to the oil pan sump as well.

[jdmser]

Decided to go a different way than the Reimax gears. Picked up a set of cam gears while I was at it. Should start putting things together this weekend.

This build is taking a looooong time! Keen to see how it turns out for you though.

[jdmser]

May have hit a small snag. I started getting things put together and when I went to put the timing belt on it was pretty tight. I'm thinking that the 3mm head gasket took up too much of the slack in the timing belt.

Just curious as to why you didnt go for a front facing plenum?

[jdmser]

I haven't ever seen anybody post flow bench results proving the forward facing plenums make more power. Until someone does I don't see a reason to give up any intake runner length.

[33gts25t]

Was just thinking because they make the engine bay 10x cleaner looking without the big crossover pipe and less piping could be better response. You can get cut and shut or plazman style ones and retain same runner length?

[jdmser]

I'm also going to a air to water setup. A forward facing plenum would actually be more piping. The car will be used for drag racing and maybe a little cruising so power is the main goal. Also, if you look at the back of the factory plenum there is a significant amount of runner built into it, that is lost when you go to a bolt on plenum.
