Hey everyone

i had a real dodgey rebuild done by JapCars on sydney rd coburg which i wouldnt recommend to ANYONE.. whom finished it in less than 24hours and charged me $2000.... Ever since then the car was lagging, misfiring on idle etc.. At the time i though was maybe the turbo getting old but i had it checked and was told turbo was fine but did have traces of oil on the blades... So i did my own little test... The oil line from the top on the engine that goes to the air intake of turbo was actually spitting oil and my oil pressure was through the roof... i took the line off and put a little pod on it and perfect no more lag... Then before u know it im on a highway and started slowing and gearing down and while the clutch was in the car stalled... i was like wtf so i tried roll starting it and the back wheels locked up and a fkt up sound came out of the front... My engine siezed.... Everytime i tried starting it was just a single click coming from the plenum....

Now i have a non turbo r33 which is not even worth selling anymore except for the mint condition engine and now im thinking of using the block from it as ive checked the whole head and block of the turbo and the only problem is the block.... I though it could be possible with putting in a oil return line and a thicker head gasket to lower the compression....

If n e one could give me some hints as i cant really afford to recondintion the turbo block... cheers

or if anyone has a complete running block let me know i have a complete rb20 engine and rb25, also have a set of r32 gtr turbos that i could trade... Cheers

so you want to turbo your n/a rb25?

chances are the turbo head will be abit secondhand.

easy. just run a teflon -4 line from the oil pressure switch. (steel t piece it) not brass.

im not sure if the n/a block has the oil return tapped into the block and just plugged. so a custom oil return will be needed if not.(as high as possible)

ps.. the oil coming out of the breather has nothing to do with oil pressure or lag. just blowby.

you will need to swap all the electrics over from the 25t. and the parts that dont fit on the na block/head will still have to be plugged in, in order for it to work properly if you are using the stock ecu.

dont bother about lowering the compression.

Essentially what your asking is what I have done..

I did alot of the work myself... but I didn't know as much about engines/cars/turbos back then... so I was told I needed both an oil feed and oil line drilled by the guys who were helping me by doing the block drilling + water lines....

anyway, I got one or both drilled and some t-pieces for water and that was it..... ready to put on manifold, turbo, lines, dump.

Don't worry about compression too much... mines still the n/a compression with about 230rwkw and a 3076 soon to go on and hopefully 260-270+

Edit: If you need some pics of mine and where the lines are drilled let me know.

ye all i want is stock everything... But im not converting the turbo in the N/A i want to put the N/a Block into the turbo shell etc so its less of a f**karound..... so all i need are the water and oil lines done and pretty much not too much... If someone could msg me EXACTLY what to do as i need my car back asap... cheers

i went to a mechanic a while ago and the guy wanted to charge me $600 for looking at my car and told me i dropped a valve.... after about an hour of taking off the cam gears and cam shaft. i took out all 24 valves and all of them are perfect.... Now taking the engine out tomoz and gonna check the harmonic balancer to see if the block is the problem.... If n e one has piks etc of what they did to a N/A block in order to have it ready to attach a turbo head plz send em...

cheers

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
