almost mj, almost!

so did u say that gavin will also do your camgear?

i am keen to pull off my timing belt cover and see the condition of hte belt (so i know how much longer i need to replace it.. like another 5000km could be fine, or like NOW.. stop driving it completely, etc). I am thinking maybe if i get that far, i will just install the camgear.. then take it to gavin to adjust and do a full dyno tune.

Nah i wont get gavin to do my cam gear as its too much of a pain in the ass. I goto APC to use the dyno. Im thinking does it really need a dyno tune, ive searched the forums and it seems everyone with a camgear puts -4 and gets good results. So maybe if we just put it on and set it to -4 it should be fine??

yer, that is what i was going to put on.. but leave cover off for later tuning on dyno as required.

if you want to do it same time, could be a good little project i reckon.. there is a good thread in forced induction on how to do it.

bed? thats a little extreme jamez.. although i must say i don't feel much better..

yer, i understand .. and I am cautious myself. if i fried my engine i would be very up a creek.

But reading the thread, and all the comments from people (some of which don't sound too much experienced with doing mechanicals than me) who did it themselves, i think its doable. I have the tools, thats easy. It basically sounds like, remove fan and shroud (and x-over fmic pipe in my case).. mark CAS position relative to cover and remove.. remove cover.. behind should be the marks.. one at 10oclock inlet side, and 2oclock exhaust .. rotate crank to TDC, this should be where the built-in belt marks align with these marks.

unbolt stock gear.. pull off.. bolt on new gear, bolt on.

do all up..

i am confident now reading all that.

yup, i better go order mine too.. without a gear could be kinda hard to do. Wanting to do it about 2 weeks time. IF we get to a point where we go "hmm, looking too difficult" i guess we give up and put it all back together. Nothing lost, knowledge gained!

meant to make a nice difference.. better off peak power, and helps the turbo to spool quicker and harder

    • Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.
    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
