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!!

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
