Ant's Rb26/30 A31 Ceffy


Recommended Posts

Bought the ceffy bout 8 months ago for a decent price just something to drive to work and back in. Then my partner bought a new mazda 3 and I aquired her lancer.. So we took the car back to Hervey Bay (thats where im from) and it sat in the shed and ran out of rego. Though to myself in this time I could put a car together and still be able to get to work and back. So the old rb25 came out of the ceffy and the 26/30 built started. Picked up a rebuilt rb30 off a mate here in brissy and then it all started. Sourced a rb26 head had it reco'd, light port and a set of tomei 270deg 10.25mm lift cams and tomei buckets/springs fitted also went for a single throttle setup for something different. Looking for a streeter to make 450-500rwhp all day every day.

So the things Ive collected on the way are:

Jun plennum

90mm throttle body

hks fuel rail

sard 800cc injectors

sard fpr

dash fittings

2 x 975 external pumps

haltech e11v2 patch loom and 3bar map sensor

crap load of dash fittings and braided line etc

Pulled the rb30 bottem end apart and found that it had been reco'd maybe 100km ago and is in very good condition.

ACL pistons

ACL bearings

Ballanced Rods/crank

Need to fit new water pump and a possible nitto oil pump/crank collar. Also looking for the turbo side of things at the moment maybe a 6boost manifold and a gt3540 or maybe T04z something along those lines as the power output is at the lower end of the scales and I want it to be a street car with decent response.

Got stuck into the engine bay with a mate thanks Keiron aka (Gtir-keiron) got it prepped and paintedd blue with green zerelick. Put it back together the next day.

so it started out like this:

Decided to go gt42r as we came accross a deal at a good price. So we sourced a trust manifold and a tial 44mm wastgate off a guy here on the forum. So hopefully we will get the wiring loom run and the computer in the car aslo still have to tap the block for the second tentioner and fit the head to the block, fingers crossed it'll be done this weekend ;).

To be honest ant and i had the engine bay stripped down and painted in about 5 to 6 hours.

Motor already out of the car helped alot.Ant is really good with strip down work as he has pulled so many cars apart and put them back together again.

Wow anthony you got ripped off by a forum member dude? Name and shame time really mate and im sorry to hear about that.

I hope he comes clean and sends you the items mate really.

    • It's good, but not as good as some people make it out to be on social media. Yes, you can feel the torque come in earlier, yes, it does make the car feel more lively below 4000rpm, and yes, it does feel more responsive, but it's not this 'unicorn' mod.  Everyday driving? Below 100km/h on Australian roads, it's worth it. At 110km in 6th gear mine will sit on about 2860rpm. Doing a Motorkhana or a small circuit? Yes, it's worth it. Doing Texas style speed runs? Prob not. Do you use the gears more? Yes and No. Doing 60/70km on most roads, I'm using the gears just like any other Getrag. 80km and above, you use 5th and 6th more often. Absolutely no issues driving with the 33 A-LSD. Didn't change the front diff, only changed the C&P wheel. Some people say to upgrade to a Quaife etc, but i've had no issue with torque steer or having it wander all over the road. The one thing that no-one really addresses is the issue of the Speedo being out. It's either use a speedo corrector, find a 33 gearbox speed sensor, or use an aftermarket display with GPS speedo.
    • Anyone know or have the timing specs for these cams?   i have messaged JUN for two months with zero response    they are 288in/288ex 11.6 lift
    • That would be a rarity. You can emulate the function of the stalk just by bridging the appropriate pins in the connector. If you can make it function correctly by doing so, then the wiring etc is OK and it is the stalk.
    • I've had these LEDs and a LED EP34 flasher relay in the car since 2020. No fuses were popped either. I'll multimeter and clean off the tarnish tomorrow. From how the lights were acting after I diddle the stick make me lean towards a stalk problem.
    • Are you sure you can use LEDs in the indicator lamps? On a car that old? It doesn't work on many old cars because the indicator relay can't cope with the wrong impedance out at the lamp positions and the LEDs will happily light up even with minimal current flowing through the indicator relay. And when I say "indicator relay" I mean the flasher, not a relay relay. Beyond that, I would say that you have caused yourself a wiring fault and that you would be well advised to work through the wiring diagram and the actual loom with a multimeter.
