Hey Brad, I'll shoot you a PM in a couple of months and if you still have it we can go from there. I'm just in the middle of paving out the back so have no funds, but it doesn't stop me from dreaming. rolleyes.gif

What model is it and price etc - would you send to Perth? Send me a PM if you wish.

Anyway, enough welding talk and more welding action....here are some photos of some recent work.

I am doing some standard replacement parts for VL's (under a new business name, Red Star Fabrications) at the moment as well as custom made aluminium parts for the engine bay. In order of the pics, they are:

- fuse box cover

- power steering fluid canister

- fuse box replacement catch can and surge tank

- mixed bag of goodies lol

I will be doing some other goodies as well. I have custom made catch can to sit inline with the bottom of the radiator, custom made intercooler with diffusers in the end tanks, replacement fuel tank, complete one-off rb26 intake manifold.......so keep an eye on this thread. This is just the beginning of new things to come :action-smiley-069:

Happy welding,

Ariel

They have more problems then that, the plenum split. I just got pics.....hardly any penetration of the material. Poor material preparation, poor welding technique, not enough heat, material not cleaned before welding...the list goes on.............

I will be using 6mm and most probably making 2 passes over it, finishing it off with a weave or "walking the cup" style bead. I have done it before on another LPG plenum made of 10mm...that had 3 passes over it and turned out absolutely mint.

I can't deny that I have. Having said that though, this was all prior to me welding them which has been for the past 2 years or so.

I did make some design changes as well to help sort the problem out since it has only really happened to ones I was making some 4-5 years ago.

I actually offer a lifetime warranty as such to continue supporting my customer base.

Why do you ask?

yo ariel, how much do you charge for that catch can? (with slip on hoses, not threaded fittings) & do you still make the custom fuel rails to suit 14mm injectors? i think they can work with the neo injectors if you just get the right o ring & grommets in and it will fit. (another member did it with a HKS copy rail - are your designs same as the HKS one?) cheers

No worries BR, whenever you are ready, just let me know.

Elvis - catch can is $200. Not sure of what other memebers do, I don't really copy things. I can only make the rails for 11mm or 14mm oring injectors. I may need the complete manifold since it is a NEO and I dont have any of those handy.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
