Hey all, thought i'd chuck this up for anyone who is interested in a 25 build chasing 500 plus rwkw. Car used to have stock motor putting out 296rwkw with the old faithful 3076r and not much else. Now with my current licence issues (ie lack of) i will be building the motor fiiinally with parts i got thru NYTSKY an Raw Brokerage several years ago. So the list so far consists of;

CP pistons 20 thou over 9 to 1 comp

Eagle H Beam rods with ARP 2000 bolts

ARP head and main studs

Nitto oil pump

Full fuel system (sard surge tank with two AEM pumps inside and pierburg lift pump)

Custom low mount t3 manifold with Turbosmart 45mm Hyper gate

Custom plenum on stock runners with stock throttle body

Now i am just waiting on my custom turbo the boys at JEM have ordered which is something like a Garrett GT3794r with t3 rear. Still working out cam ideas an also injectors which may be ID2000's. Haltech Platinum Pro will be going in along with maybe a Profec B ebc. Hopefully with all this on e-flex it should pump out over 500rwkw fingers crossed. Will whack some photos on once stuff gets serious, we all know what the parts look like :) Also, all my old parts will be for sale ;) Will chuck them in the for sale section soon enough...

Cheers!

Can't wait till this beast is done :D

Edited by MR 33

Well plan has changed a little bit. Ended up selling my old turbo set up including manifold and gate, so I will now be going with a high mount set up. Should be easier to work on, not too mention look better :yes:

Motor miiight be back tomorrow, if not week next from machining. Will put up some more photos as the build progresses

Build is moving along nicely! Have decided on going solid lifter conversion. Cams will be 260in/270ex. Fuel system is nearly complete, went with Xspurt 2000cc injectors and twin inlet top feed rail. Just waiting on motor then everything should flow along nicely :)

Boot install just about done

Little update, cams have been decided on along with solid lifter conversion. Have decided to drop the VCT in order to get the cams we want. Have gone with Tomei Procams 270 inlet and exhaust with 10.25mm lift. Should sound grumpy! :yes: Got Supertech solid lifter kit with oversize valves and all the good bits that come with it as well. Tomei cam gears on the front. All that arrived during the week and has been sent away to machine shop. Changed from my custom plenum (which is for sale) to a Greddy style one, which we painted in wrinkle black. Along with my black fuel rail, reg, lines and fittings it should look very sexy I think. Getting ever closer to hearing this thing fire up!

Plenum and rail lookin nice

    • So been ocd with timing mark but checked from few angle and seems both cam are on and crank is matching as well to the slot on sump and crank pully   i noticed crankshaft cover has been robbed as per attached pic. Any ideas why? Could my balancer or harmonic be on its way out? should I replace the cover? https://ibb.co/ZR1JFYRR
    • So now doing the change and first time dealing with rb so little nervous giving engine power and potential for screwing it up When you align all marks and then remove crank bolt, timing move little I assume you can put the bolt back in once you have removed the pully to get timing to where you want?   here is pic of my both intake and exchust cam aligned, depending on angle you look they seem to be either aligned or a half tooth or so out. Any thoughts? Should you angle your face and look at each mark that way as if looking straight rather than from above as it can be misleading   <a href="https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/HfWrGR9b/IMG-4447.jpg" alt="IMG-4447" border="0"></a> <a href="https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/JWBqWwr1/IMG-4445.jpg" alt="IMG-4445" border="0"></a>   https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.
    • Update 1: I did some work on the car already before finalizing this post and my "issues" list. I dropped the Tomei exhaust in favor of the HKS Hi Power Silent. Sounds nice and I can actually hear myself think now. Also gives me a realistic chance to legally drive without silencer inserts. A bit of cheating was necessary to still be able to mount the Top Secret style diffuser. Some malusage of washers and a bit of "convincing" toward the brackets and exhaust hanger seemed to do the trick. The shaky steering wheel has been resolved as various suspension components were worn, like sway bar bushings and link bars. Most notably the two steering tie rod ends. Had some trouble finding bushings because my sway bars are not OEM thickness, 23.x up front and 27 rear. But non adjustable, so no aftermarket I suppose. Maybe they are nismo units? Turbo oil drain hoses were definitely still the originals and are new now. Wasn't the cause of the turbo oil leak sadly. Currently removing the rear turbo because of it, I suspect the braided oil feed line is the culprit. This issue needs to be dealt with so I can work towards actually getting the turbo setup legal and inspected. Two new issues to add to the list as well. Rear Main seal is probably leaking. Time will show how bad it is, I don't really want to drop the gearbox right now just for the stupid seal. Could fix a few other things in one go once I do that. Front right driveshaft grease is going past the cv boot, so at some point I'll fix that too.
    • Ok so no 4cyl clutch... Yeah it is a factory manual. So if iam correct i need clutch and flywheel too? I can use something that suits something like R32 GTST?   EDIT: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224291042776 Is this ok?   EDIT2: i maybe forget to mention this(dk how important it is) but the trans will be behind RB25DET NEO(iam doing swap) It will be there for a little while. Iam planing to do bigbox or BMW tranny..
