Have you looked at the hi octane sumps? They look like a serious bit of kit and will be what I go for when I build my motor. Some nice internal gating/baffling too

+1 for high octaine sump!! and yeah, needs a bit of cut and wleding

as far as the tomei sump baffel goes i think its either place or screw fit

yeah thats a shame matty fire takes no prisoners or no prejudices

indeed steve, hardest luck story was from the first photo. The guy who lived there lost his first house in the "white flat" fire 2 years ago. his son built the house for him so he had somewhere to live, and he's copped it again. He said to one of the guys i was working with "they sell houseboats on the murray yeah? might be time for me to buy one of them!"

Whats that thingamajig?

-D

thats a "rural padmount" ground level transformer. only uses one phase from the 11kv system (the one cable coming into the "elbow" on the left). Produces 2 phases of 240v for consumer supply. This one WAS feeding 4 houses, but only 2 were left that could be safely re-energised by generators. Note, that was closed during the fire and normal operation, so shows how much heat there would have been

I need some help. I think I've got an inlet leak.

If I rev the engine up and release the throttle , it stalls. But if I take it easy it's fine :P

I'm thinking it's the inlet manifold gasket ?

Any ideas on how to be sure ?

Lose the hektik flutter.... :D

I've heard someone say that 98 Octane fuels offered by the different petrol station brands are different in their makeup, and apparently BP ultimate is the better one to use. Is this true or a load of waffle? Does it really matter if someone uses V Power or BP Ultimate or Vortex 98?

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      By djr81 · Posted

      So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By djr81 · Posted

      Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?
