Man that is alot of runout! Good choice on getting it straightened.

Not as much as the engine my tuner built before. His words "was bent like a banana", center journal was out by 0.06", and 1-2 was out by 0.15" :wacko:

Friday 22nd July

I get an SMS around 3:30pm saying the Short has been assembled, and everything is good...after I had the crank reground and re-linished earlier that week.

Monday 25th July

I finally have some spare time to go to the work shop and take some photos, and see the goodness of my engine build.

Hey dude killa build. I found it searching for info on rb25-27 stroker so basicly your using 26 crank and rods is that the go....

Close, but no cigar.

RB25 and RB26 Rods are the same length. The differences are in the crank and the piston, crank has a longer stroke, and the piston has different heights, etc for the extra stroke. So I am using a RB26 Crank with CP 86.5mm RB26 Pistons.

More updates next week, hopefully, as the Head and Sump should be back from the machine shop :D

Still not ready, been told end of this week now.

Since I am now waiting around for parts, I decided to send my exhaust manifold off to be ceramic coated. I had the cam covers fitted with -10 fittings today, pics up later.

Friday 9th September

After sending my Head and Sump off to Lewis Engines back on the 15th July, they are finally ready for pick up tomorrow, along with my exhaust manifold that was sent up there earlier this week to be faced.

Apparently they spent 1.5 Days porting my head, and have added a few extra fittings to my sump for a Catch Can Return.

The Nitto Oil Pump was also ordered today, and should arrive Monday or Tuesday if they have stock.

Come Monday (12th Sept) I will be able to bolt the Head and Sump to the Block.

Earlier this week I dropped my Cam and Timing Covers off to be Powdered Coated in a Candy Blue, so they should look good with the -10 AN Fittings on top :), I am looking into having the Valley Cover Carbon Wrapped, Just a matter of getting in contact with my mate that does it.

Once I receive my exhaust manifold back, I shall go have it ceramic coated, and a Turbo Blanket eventually made up for my GT3076.

After much waiting, it is finally coming together :D

The goal is to have the Car up and running by Early/Mid October, and drive it over to SAU Nationals and hopefully enter into the Show and Shine, as well as a Birthday present to myself, and an anniversary present for owning the Car for 3 Years (almost 1 year off the road)

Sorry if you mentioned it earlier but what comp ratio are you running?

I don't think I have mentioned it as I don't know what it is, I think the Pistons are 8.5:1 off the top of my head, So it will be somewhere around there.

Saturday 10th September

Received a SMS from my Tuner saying the Head, Oil Restrictor and Exhaust Manifold have been picked up. So I can finally assemble some more on Monday and get the Exhaust Manifold Ceramic Coated this week. The sump is still being baffled and extended.

Thursday 15th September

Called into Horsepower In A Box on the way home and the Sump had arrived, and managed to get a few pics of everything...heading back there later to assemble some (since I didn't get to the other day) of the engine.

Not too sure, maybe the same as before or about an extra litre.

Friday 16th September

I went back to the workshop around 8:30pm last night (Thursday), and I managed to get the head torqued down, and the water pump installed...now for some pics :)

Now, to go pick up my powder coated Covers, and drop the Exhaust Manifold off for Ceramic Coating.

Monday 19th September

Bit of progress was made today.

ISC Exhaust Cam Gear and VCT Cam Gears were installed, Nitto Oil Pump was finally installed, Timing belt installed and tensioned, Half moon seals and Cam Covers were installed.

It's really coming together now.

After all this time, I have also just realized I need a R34 CAS as the Cams have a different key to my Old CAS.... >_<

Looking sooooo pretty!!!

How is it a 2.7lt (bored out or something?)? Sorry if it's a spaz question :)

This one isn't exactly a 2.7l, a little bit of extra work would have needed to be done. But from what I believe I have worked out, it works out to be 2600cc, so a "proper" 2.6L.

A RB26 is 2568 cc,

bore: 86.0 mm

stroke: 73.7 mm

My engine is 2600cc (I believe)

Bore: 86.5mm

Stroke: 73.7mm

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
