Gerg_R31's N/a Rb26/30De

[Gerg_R31]

Lol Pete, I'll put a turbo on it when you start buying stuff at their asking price :-P

[Sir Lord Van Von Vader'ham]

yeah, that'll happen.... lol

im going off other 26/30de builds and so my bet is 165rwkw.

[Gerg_R31]

difference is i researched and done maths and built it around a certain expected rev range (which if the maths works out right 3000rpm to 7500rpm is where it should really come alive)

but yup I've put you down for 165

[r33_racer]

Love your build mate. Looks good. I like that your build is abit different to 99% of the others....the whole no turbo gig. It should make for a good reliable and responsive engine.

[Silhouette-R]

Dude it's looking super sweet!!

I'm going to put down 185rwkw

Can't wait to get my cam regrind down.

Once you have your dyno sheet can you post it up so it'll give me a good idea of what cams (reassure myself of my cam choice) im going to drop in.

[Gerg_R31]

Will do, its not right to say i got 'xxxkw' without the proof. would be good to see yours finished too

[Silhouette-R]

What's the intake setup cost you so far?

I'm looking forward to seeing mine finished haha

[Gerg_R31]

$80 each for the tubes, milling, bridge porting and welding were free cause i work here

[Sir Lord Van Von Vader'ham]

updates?

[Gerg_R31]

Nothing yet, should be back anytime now, actually got a set of angry's r31 'emotion' coil overs getting welded to struts another thing to put on when car comes back

[Silhouette-R]

How is it coming along Greg?

[Gerg_R31]

Still waiting, got angry's coilovers though. car should be back soon hopefully, am getting a lil impatient but they are over booked and under staffed exactly how we are at work

[Dale FZ1]

Has the size/length of the inlet trumpets and header pipes been determined by any calculations or simulator?

Those trumpets definitely look the gear.

[Gerg_R31]

No simulator used

the trumpets follow 1 rule, shorter for higher rpm/ top speed, longer for more torque. i wanted torque but didn't have the room :-(

Headers are the same as the hurricane rb30 interference length with a rb26 bolt pattern welded on, but soon as i get the funds ill take it to a guy i know that will work out the right length for the block volume, comp ratio, cams, porting flow figures etc, they will set me back 1800

For now im just focusing on getting the car back

[Gerg_R31]

Oh and some more photos

[Gerg_R31]

Update;

Micks motorsports: you'll have the car back in 2 weeks

2 weeks later

Micks motorsports: you done a shit job with the linkages

me: *face palm* lol ok so how long?

Micks motorsports: well i won't be able to start it for a few weeks but ill try to get it back by end of July

end of July

Micks motorsports: we're flat out not enough hours in a day

me: look at your work load and give me a realistic time

Micks motorsports: end of august beginning of September

end of first week of September

Micks motorsports: haven't had time promise end of next week

end of the next week

Micks motorsports: not ready, won't be able to start it until the week after next, got a race meet on next weekend. But you will have it for the long weekend

(the photos above were taken then)

yesterday was well past 3 months since i took it to him, nothing has been done since i left it there. every other car gets put inside his workshop and mine is protected by a crappy fence and pad lock.

I took it to him cause i know he is the best with Japanese cars and n/a cars but obviously he doesn't want to work on it, and being the only car out the front shows he doesn't care. So my patients has run out.

Time to look for a new tuner

(i know the forum rules, you can't dis a business, I'm not saying he does a shit job, and ill still stand by what i say, he is still the best i know of with what he does, i took it to him knowing he is not the quickest)

[zebra]

poor form by the workshop.

I would have pulled the car and told him to jam it after the first time.

P.s re: the intake runner length.

Bends dont affect the airflow (providing they arent super sharp 90d bends) and add length.

making some that curl upwards should give an extra couple of inches

[Gerg_R31]

Yeah i actually have been thinking about doing the 90° angles. though all depends on how the linkages are set up

[blk180]

Awww good luck with getting it done, i think HI-Comp in Minchinbury do a lot of N/A work but never been there myself.

[fatz]

greg take it to matt(hitman) in penrith

he knows his halteks!
