Finally Got It Going

[brada31ke70]

ah yes, finally got the 26/30 in the cefiro and going, cant believe it actually goes, got 1mm over sized mahale pistons, reconditioned head and assembled it all myself, first engine i have done as i am a sparkie, nervous as fu*k turning the key for the first time, started up after about 3 seconds on the starter motor, ran on 5, one of the injector plugs was loose, easy fix, went for a skid up the road, ran sweet, celebrating now drinking beers and johnny walker, a 26/30 fits in a cefiro by f**k all, just able to shut the bonnet, misses the clutch master cylinder by about 8mm and exhaust misses the fire wall by about nothing when lowering the motor in, 25 box runs sweet as well. anyone out there contemplating weather or not to do it my advice is just do it, cant wait to run it in and wind a bit more boost into it, yes sir.

good to see another leco engine builder. Funny how the only problem was an electrical one.

well done mate.

Good stuff man.

I hope my 25/30 fits in the ceffy engine bay, already have a greedy inlet.

Any other specs on the motor, cams, turbo wise?

great job & congrats!

30 must feel awesome in your light car...what power are u making & what turbo setup u running?

[brada31ke70]

some photos of the 30, nismo turbos, probably a little small, boost comes in a around 2300 and full boost at about 3200, motor is going well, have not got it tuned yet, heaps more torque than the 26, on one of the photos you can see one of my home made sump extentions, now takes around 7 litres of oil.

nice work mate! i am looking at doing the same thing in mine. just wondering what block you used? was it just standard out of an R31 or something special?

also.... WHERE did you get that valley cover??!! i want one!!

[SirRacer]

ive got a 30/25 in my a31 although i do have a laurel bonnet on it. it fits cutting a little bit out of the bonnet even with the stock rb25 plenum.

nice to see another one anyway.

nice car mate so jelous. im building a 30 atm im interested in you turbo setup. you said they were nismo turbos so are they N1 GTR turbos or standard gtr turbos and what boost you running and i dont suppose you have yet because your engine is still being run in but what rpm do the turbos start fade off.
