R34 Gtr Build

[BOBBYr34]

What is happening Bobby?

You still going with the Turbonetics turbo for this build?

Progress is slow

Yes that turbo will be the one and only unless John changes his mind

[tweety bird]

bobby, is john going to make a support for the turbo/manifold?

is he expecting any problems form the manifold warping?

Hi,

No need to support the manifold at all.

Well once the manifold is on the car and running i doubt if we have any problems his engineered it well enough to keep away from any problems.

This car has been sponsored by the following company

The head is at Wilkins engineering to drill the holes. This will help remove air locks above the combustion chamber in the head. Once its done i will port some pics of the work.

I have done some wiring on the car, i have installed pressure and temp sensors before and after cooler using 4 core tefzel wire.

Got another walk through on the car by Bob the other day. All I can say is WOW!!

Just needs that engine in there!!

Hey Bobby, are you going to come to SAU Nationals and bring along that Z-Tune of yours? Im sure everyone would love to see it there.

LOL yes i know, John has not done much in the past 2 months, just waiting on the head work to be completed.

So who is doing the head porting and assembly Bobby?

So who is doing the head porting and assembly Bobby?

Cleaning of the ports have been already done, no porting required, and i have posted pics of ports. This was done by John Skola.

Motor assembly will be done by Trevor ( Johns Close friend) . I sent the head to Wilkin's engineering to drill the head to relief airlocks, and he also linished the throttle body shafts. Ill be picking it up tomorrow so ill post some new pics.

Graeme Wilkins and John Skola worked together many years ago on race cars. This is why John gave me the green light for Graeme to do some work for me as John does not know many people that are capable of doing the job correctly. Graeme is based in Seven hill on Stanton rd www.wilkinsengineering.com.au.

The head needed the holes drilled to relief air locks above the combustion chamber, the holes drilled are 3.5mm using a Mill and making sure you dont go drilling into the port or the headbolt holes.

While the head was there, Graeme has noted down many measurements of the work that John has carried out on the head. ie port shape port cleaning and final port size. So if you wanted your RB26 head ported in the same manner as mine (as i now john dont have the time to do it) you can always go and see Graeme to get the job done.

Also Graeme has milled the throttle body shafts, gave him one that John did and he copied them to all three. This will help increase the area in the throttle when opened fully for increased air flow.

Did you get the head on a flow bench?

+1 to Wilkins doing great work on heads

Yes the head has been flowed and sorry i dont have the figures as john has the file somewhere, once i find the file i will list it with the rest fo the calculations he has done. File is worth a mint !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Will be interesting to see what cleaned up standard size ports flow.

Standard Valves?
