Zoid's Gts Build

[jangles]

That's one of the plans Rusty, just get a stock\mild RB25 and throw my turbo\supporting bits on it, just get back out there and start skidding again before the car\project gets stagnant.

Rips rb30.....

With a 26 head...

[Mr. Untouchable]

and neither his plenum or exhuast manifold will bolt to it, may as well just buy a r35 send it to HKS and demand 60 tonnes of downforce and a jazillion killawasps while there at it. dont stuff around trowelly, go hard or go home

[jangles]

I know. I'm just trolling. I'm sure if he was going to spend 10k+ on that he wouldnt be too worried about his manifolds.

[Mr. Untouchable]

the trowell man gettin trolled!

[zoidbergmerc]

oh, you guys were just kidding?

RIPS seemed really cheap and when I called them they were really nice, so I bought one of thier RB25\30s Long motors

Just arrived Yesterday Afternoon, should be good for Round 4

Edit: Hey Jack, can you paint my rocker covers for me please? Need it done before Saturday!

f**k you, my car only just started and you're shoving in and RB25/30. You said you had bought a new engine, I was wondering why you went so damn quiet when I asked what it was...

Seriously, f**k you buddy.

So f**king jelly. f**k.

Here are some more pics of broken bits.

Piston #1, melted a bit and the top ring snapped into 3 bits.

Piston #1 on right with another OK piston for comparison.

Bearings in the Mains Girdle, this one, #6 was particularly hurt.

#2 Mains bearing, what looks to be a little uneven wear, I don't have the gear to measure it though.

Most of the mains bearings looked like this, except the middle thrust bearing.

Another mains bearing.

Another pic of #6, I've got no idea what the f**k happened here....

So yeah, that's a good $250 piston ruined by me being an asshole. All the other 5 are like perfect though, not really sure what to do with them... All the rods are perfect, the little end bearings are perfect. The cylinder walls are all OK, need a good hone and they'd be good to go. Except for #1, that's got a weird scratch in it, but it's below where the piston skirt is. Not really sure how that happened? It's hard to take a picture of though

I reckon all the bearings are hurt from oil surge problems from doing Sprints and Drifting with a stock sump.... 61 seconds around basky with a stock sump, doesn't love it!

I've got a new complete engine coming soon; I'll be nicer to this one.

If anyone has a RB25DET block or short motor lying around, let me know!

[sav man]

what do the big ends look like? Has it marked the crank?

[zoidbergmerc]

Big ends aren't much better, Crank is fine.

Check out the oil pump though!

Whoops.

[toffy]

some bearings and a standard piston and she is good to go lol . pics of the head?

[zoidbergmerc]

about three pages ago toff.

[sav man]

N1 oil pump? some billet gears will fix that.

[DJRIFT]

[zoidbergmerc]

N1 oil pump? some billet gears will fix that.
