Fantastic work!

I'm still a little bummed I didn't make my return trip home from the Nationals via Sydney, so I could stop by and have a look... though it did shave a few hundred km off the drive.

How far away is the engine build? Have you decided on all the details for it yet?

Meh....the reality is that the car must have fallen short of expectations Really not sure how a full tune can drag out for 2 years... so claims that the build was f1 spec, just musn't show on the dyn

Thanks Ian.

It s ok maybe nextime you are in sydney John would be more then happy to show you the fab work and what his aiming to build.

The build has been slow, just getting the head ready for assembly as the bottom end is completed. ( Still trying to get pics for this )

All the other aspects of the car are ready and up to date, just need to drop the motor im and start finishing this build.

It's almost like the next pics you post couldn't possibly be better than what you've already posted...

But No.... They just get more awesome!

Have you weighted the manifold/turbo/gate assembly? Noted John thought it wouldn't need any brace/supporting. Just wondering what the actual weight is :)

The weight of the manifold with just the wastegates bolted on is about 7kg.

Spoke to John about the brace, he will be adding a brace or bracing system to the manifold however at this point of time he has not stated where. Once he does i will update you.

Cool thanks :) is it for clearance reasons. My 1jz manifold does the opposite (faces the comp cover away)

The turbo was rotated towards the rocker cover to achieve the best exit of the turbo that was not a 90 degree bend like everyone else has, john has said 90 degree bend can cause upto 15% loss in efficiency of the turbo.

Low mount manifold? Or does the comp cover face in towards the rocker cover?

This pic will answer your question

The red lines drawn on the inlet are approximate anti-surge slot locations to be milled out?

Sweet :)

I remember earlier in the thread it was stated it wasn't needed, perhaps that was only in early stages. 7kg + turbo would be quite a hefty end result.

Be interesting to see where it's braced and what not - look forward to that update :thumbsup:

fyp

heat + stainless steel = bending.

good welds will not stop it.

keep us updated. :)

The red lines are for the installation of a plunger infront of the turbo.

John does not like anti surge slots as this also reduces the efficiency of the turbo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      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.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      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.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
