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

    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
