I respect all your opinions guys but at the end of the day "Security" Has pretty much summed up why I am going this root and besides everyone just chucks the M3 in there.. Time for something new! It is N/A for NOW; Later once everything is sorted I will save up again and whack a snail or two on the side of it.. kristafa, Your car is a BEAST! I have looked at your work mate.. It has already helped me ALOT! One thing I hope you can help me with is the wiring? I tried to sign up to performance forum to see more of your work but my email is banned for some reason, I have never even been apart of that forum before in my life? I emailed them and have got no reply..

Thanks for all the comments guys, I picked up the RB25DET motor last night from a member on this forum, Quickly chucked it in the bay to see how it would sit and as expected the sump fouls everything, So yeh im still in the process of hunting down either a sump off a Z31 or the RB30 Carby motor that came out in a patrol as they are a reverse sump.. Hard to find though..

Cheers for all the comments guys, Keep it coming!

kristafa, I just had a quick look through that thread.. You are like a god lol.. You answered so many questions i had! I wasnt sure on what direction to go with the mounts but you sure cleared that up! I hope you dont mind if i copy that idea? You work is A1++ Dude.. You should be so proud of what you have done, I hope my build can come remotely colse to what you have done..

Cheers!

EDIT: Does anyone know why my thread doesnt get bumped when there is a new post? hard to tell when people post something up you know..

Cre8toR, glad a fellow bmw owner approves of the transplant!!

actually got it started the other night which was a bit of a thrill, rb26 sounds menacing with just dump pipes attached!

Go ahead on replicating my engine mounts/xmember.. that design just made the most sense to us at the time.. getting the standard loom hooked up and supplying power to the ECU is a breeze (when you finally work it out!) just PM me when you're at that stage.

christo.

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
