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 ;).

thanks man should be interesting pretty much got eveything now so just gotta bolt it together and tune it fingers crossed itll be finshed very soon. It a bit hard when you live in brissy and the car is 3hours away :P

No worries man I'll get picks up asap, missed out on going home this weekend got called into work. Next weekend should see the wiring loom, engine in and turbo on and lines finished off! Not long now.

yeah will be cept ive been ripped off on my manifold and gate as ive bought one from a forum member and have been done $900 as its been over 2 weeks since ive paid for it and still havent recieved he also screwed over someone else on here too..

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.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
