so problem will be solved by getting proper sized rods

Well it's either you use standard length like the HKS 2.8 kit does or 119.5 mm (2 mm shorter) like the Tomei does. It's all about where your pin sits.

Either way, when stroking your rod to stroke ratio is going to fall, but really, 26's ain't the best from factory. It means a little bit more wear and harder on the pin, however, there are advantages also.

I noticed that you ran a pod filter in the engine bay in the early days with the car, and have since revised it so the filter is in front of the left front wheel.

Do you have any pictures that more closely show you relocated turbo air intake?

Did you have any concerns with water on the filter in the low location from wet weather driving, or do you have a rain shield around it?

Hey Guys,

I am trying to get in contact with Anthony, the owner of GTRB28 but he hasnt been on AUS for about a year. Anyone know how I can get in contact with him?

yeah its in kemps project 34 now, running low boost (30psi low) until he changes gearbox etc. he was going to build an elephant package so just bought it as the owner was selling for bigger better things.

no doubt powertune could build another if youre serious.

kemp doesnt work at powertune either., unless recently employed lol.

Hi AH_HUH, I went hunting through the thread and can't find a dyno plot for the RB28/PT7175 combo - what was the most power it made, and how was lag with it... if you don't mind sharing?

Do you reckon it needed much more than 5000rpm for full boost? Cheers :)

    • (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.
    • Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things 
    • Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..
    • I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
