3 month holiday

32 race car- came back blew the motor and like a good track car its just sitting down the side of the house growing spiders(its waiting for me to find some spare time to swap the engine out... work, drinking, baby stuff, wasting money on tow cars and the above engine built has tapped out my play money for the last few months)

hr31 gtr monstor- long motor is assembled, just waiting on getting the shell back to shlap the motor in an plumb it up

busy at work but i predict the race car will have it new engine installed in early march (post work being hectik)

roy buy the whole kit and flog the turbos off or use them on your car $1700 for the whole kit red nuts... also helps me pay for my haltek + tune

:)

Top work on the sump, I have been keeping an eye on his fabrication thread lately.

Just out of interest does he install his own style of baffles into the sumps or does he make them to suit aftermarket styled ones like the Mines or Tomei baffle systems?

Getting a little closer to building the 26 in my GTR and I am pretty interested in getting a similar sump done up for it

Cheers Marty

21 psi= ic pipes flying off and the old rb26 chestnut of popping the dipstick out

at first i though i lost a turbo.. but was just an ic pipe flying off. kept doing it even at 15psi so i packed up

getting rid of the just china hoses and going something tougher and will be back out with about 17psi to keep things happy (eg longer lasting)

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
