Wow it's been a while since I've updated this thread

Let's see.... the car has been off the road for the last 6-7 months while I save and stock pile parts.

I've been driving an auto civic around..... yes a civic, please don't think bad of me :worship:

:P

So, now for the parts.

RB26 cam covers, also picked up the cam gear backing plate and a pair of -10 breathers

Its about time some updates got made! Haha.

Thats a Hi Octance can setup yeah? Very nice mate.

Also, pics of civic :P

Yeh HiOctane catch can

No pics of the civic, it's bad enough that I own it, don't want people to know what it looks like :P

The cam covers were sent to be painted earlier in the week, just waiting on the baffles for them

The car is due on the hoist hopefully monday. Drop the gearbox and pull out the old sump and install the new one.

Install everything else then work out what fittings I need and measure up lines

So keen to start the work.

After months of saving and stocking up parts it's time to get started

When I got to my mates places early yesterday morning and walked in to the garage to see this I was jumping around like a school girl. :D

I was finally able to get my hands dirty with this car

We dropped the gearbox, removed the clutch and flywheel and removed the old sump.

Couldn't belive what we had to take off to get to 2 small screws at the rear of the sump.

Also noticed that my passanger side engine mount is completely screwed so both mounts will be changed, Nismo mounts of course :P

We hit a bit of a snag late yesterday afternoon. After removing the timing belt, harmonic balancer then the oil pump, we found that the new billet gears I've got are to big for this pump.

It looks like they are for an N1 oil pump. So my mate was going today to get it swapped for the correct gears as well as pick up the new engine mounts.

So that's it so far. I'm back at work for the next 3 nights so I won't be able to get stuck in to the work until saturday afternoon/night but with my mate being on holidays, he'll be able to pump out a fair bit until them.

Got a problem with the intake manifold though. On the stock runners it sits to far to the left and the throttle body hits the fuse box.

Not sure if there is a difference between the 33 and 34 manifold but something does seem right with this.

I'm going to have to head to plazmaman on monday before work

There is a different between 33 & 34 manifold - one of them is the the Idle Air valve. But if yours fit on the manifold then it means you've got the right one.

I was told you dont need to relocate anything to install these. Keen to see what the issue turns out to be.

    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
