they seem all really good prices for what your getting except the engine mounts considering i only paid 50 bucks for new set here in aus...

and rolls you don't need stock wheels to get through regency i went through with my keiichi tsuchiya modia's 17x8 on front 17x9's on the rear as long as your on track or under your fine... mine were even sticking the slightest bit out the guard and i only mean just but i got away with it hehe :whistling:

I did forget about the injectors, 440cc 7mgte supra injectors for 100.

You are doing all this head work and talking about cams for response etc...but you want to run a hx35 truck turbo and the cast manifold?

why?

To the OP.

While I love doing things different, there is a reason why many people say stay away from building the RB20,

Hell even Roy who loves his RB20 to bits and i'm sure he sleeps curled up on the cam covers he hasnt pulled his out and built it. The reason being is that for the max 300rwkws that a 20 head will make the standard rods and slugs are perfectly fine.

If you are concerned about the engine being a little tired than just throw some new rings and bearings in it, a good oil pump and be done.

Total cost if you cant do it yourself would be 1500 bucks, and will live for 5+ years if you look after it.

Consider what the bump in compression is going to do to the response. I have shaved about .050 off the head, this should give me about 9.2-1. I have the 8 blade hx35 so it spools faster then the 7, and am getting a 3 angle valve job. It may not have the best response, but I think 7psi at a hair over 3k is posible. On 7psi I should be in the 300whp range. I will take that all day long.......

You are right, the issue is 95% of peoples rims are over track or the offest it wrong, also people put mismatched skinny tyres etc etc on them. Much easier to just keep a set of stockies for regency trips.

yeah true what's hilarious is mine had the rolled tires on as well and looked exactly as it does in my avatar it looked like a total boy racer car lol and i should note i also had my 5'' cannon on the back :w00t: and tinted rear indicators it looked like a total hoon drift car but it all got through haha :thumbsup:

  • 3 weeks later...

I got the head back and started woring on it. I also put in for some arp studs.

I have almost finished on the ex side. All I did was remove the bump caused by the stud and smooth everything out. Going to do a little more to the in side, but not a whole lot. Mainly clean up, but I do plan on softening the splitter in the port. I will try to get pics up as soon as I can.

No flow testing, I just dont have the time or money to get it tested. I have had a few guys looking at the head, from what they have said I should see a pump across the power band and a slightly faster spool. This is based on only making the splitter on the intake side a little smaller, and removing a little from around the exhaust valve stem and the stud hump. Both sides get a smoothing out. I dont think I will see big gains from this, but I should see some. I think I will see 7psi (hx35) at just over 3k, and 15psi at just over 4k. Thats 4500rpms at full low boost and 3500rpms at 15psi. I am thinking about 22psi, but want to get this thing going good on 7-15 first. I dont want to push it too soon.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
