Yep, and a nice big power steering fluid stain on the ground from his ute lol.

Well this arvo, temp fitted the turbos to line up piping, then bolted them up.

Points to note;

These GTX turbo's are not a bolt on turbo for RB26's.

You need to buy the rear housings seperate.

I chopped the intake snout and outlet to weld on stock piping, and got the flanges welded on the outlet pipes to bolt up to the twin turbo pipes..

Also port matched inlets to compressor housings, as they are 3inch inlets, and inlets are 2 inch on the stock pipes.

Wastegate actuator mounting bracket holes need to spaced out more to bolt up to compressor housings.

Oil and water lines on the CHRA don't have anywhere to bolt to the compressor housings (seemed fine without them).

Oil drain pipes also needed the holes diegrinded.

Gearbox is on too. Just a few little things to go.

Tuesday was spent finishing off engine accesories and piping, as well as exhaust, oils, belts etc.

Cranked engine over with no plugs to get oil through the oil cooler and engine. 20 seconds later, oil pressure :D

Filled radiator up with water only to settle head gasket sealing material, and once I dump the run in oil, I'll put in coolant.

Once it was ready to go, it fired up straight away, smooth and quiet. Like it never got pulled apart!!

So bedded in the rings going up the blue mountains and I've put 270kms on it so far. Next is another oil and filter change then tune!!

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
