ok so on the hunt for someone to rebuild my engine...

engine was originally built by midnight mods, all other work done by RE Autoworks (back in 2005-6). My run-ins with RE the last year havent been too fruitful, but I found out on the weekend he has now merged with RTR in Dandenong, who are reputable and seem like nice guys. and Ray knows the engine pretty well, so could be beneficial

So far on my list is:

DrDrift

Forced Motorworx

RTR

any other suggestions?

What about Tony's engine rebuilder?

Michael? He's pretty good, him and his dad have a shop! Should see the one in his garage!

Yeah alot of workshops outsource alot for the engine building processes to specialised workshops. As you need quite specific and expensive equipment.

Michael is an engine rebuilder by trade. So only thing going in that workshop is engine rebuilds non stop!

Workshop is called Headspec in Mulgrave, If you want we can discuss your options over cofee or something one night and i'll ask Michael to come along if his free.

yeah Me and a buddy lifted a (used) 302 off the back of a ute to the ground..worst bit was finding it was a used 302 so we had to get it back on to take back to the shop

FYP

    • So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House  
    • Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.
    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?
