Angryrb's R33 Street Sweeper

[AngryRB]

Did few more steps this morning, tried fitting up the 3/4 xspurts in stock neo rail and not happy with how far nozzle is away from the hole so i fitted the extensions with some washers for spacers..

Put the timing belt on with the two new RB30 tensioners ( double bearing) so should be nice and quiet.. aligned at close as it will go .

Then lubed the top end and in the spark plug hole and turnt it by hand , bit of nervous moment lol.. was only slightly hard to turn as the rear lobes opened the valves but assuming thats normal, as a first time engine build , seeing how high the piston looks had me wondering if thats normal, pretty sure its fine though...

Chuck a plug in and crank it by hand to make sure they dont bash the moment you start the motor

[AngryRB]

probably wont turn on the stand cause she's high comp n race motor ...

It is still progressing, there's a number of hoses which im not sure where they go, if anyone has a link to R34 workshop manual that would be great, im not sure where the hoses go or come from for the air reg, might have to look at some engines at the wrecker's unless someone wants a 6pack for some help lol.... here's some pics .. hoping my next post has the engine in the bay.. You can probably pick some of the hoses don't line up, i used some heater hoses off the R33 to join them to the block which also has smaller fittings, so got a couple of fitting made up to fit the larger R34 hoses to the RB30 fittings...

Just want to finish build for now, but am thinking either all carbon fibre look on the covers or a mix of carbon fibre and ceramic coating on rocker covers will look good on a silver car..

Progress.......

Got the RB25 flywheel, clutch and box on, i got excited a tiny bit excited to see NISMO on the flywheel but im assuming its just stock..

Then come putting the engine and box into the bay, turn't into a big job, needed some hemroid cream lol..

and finally in, looks like it sits pretty high, have to see if the bonnet will close tomorrow..

some underbody pics, can fit my hand under between the pan and power steering rack , so is some room to slot the mounts if needed..

And last shot of the turbo bolted on just for the hell of it..

Looking good. What size is the turbz? Looks pretty menacing hanging down there. Its a shame its gonna be hidden under everything.

[AngryRB]

It's a GT3076 0.83rear, will have the gate on the housing... yeah i thought about high mounting it but the first setup i ever did with the stock mani felt the best so just replicating that setup to keep it simple..

With the height of this thing, it may look more mid mounted than low.. things have got tight spaced around the firewall and intake mani..

[AngryRB]

Can confirm the bonnet closes without issue so the RB30build thread was 100% correct about lowering the motor and thanks to other knowledgable guys suggesting slotting the mounts

Progress come to holt while i gather funds for fabrication, planning a 4inch dump, plumbed back gate off housing, shortened intercooler pipe off throttle, 4inch intake pipe and tossing up on changes to the exhaust. Its currently 3 1/2inch with jap resonator which my money is on being a restriction , 100cell cat and an X-force 3 1/2inch muffler... couple of idea's are

- cut resonator out and keep rest the same

- cut resonator out and put the X force muffler in middle and a jap cannon with restrictor chopped out

I know the muffler on the end sounds more civilised but i want this thing to sound meaty so tempting to take option 2 , hmmm

I put car on ground today and made some lowering adjustment to try and get better stance, it had a 4wd look, any recommendations or input on people's R33 heights would be interesting to compare to get it sitting good but looks ok..

.

I like having the 265's all around give's it a more pumped up look... cant wait to get this thing started...

not an update but after fitting the turbo on stock manifold, not real good having the a/c pipes so tight and close to a 3 1/2inch / 4inch dump plus external gate so im pricing up a top mount manifold and so far the sinco top mount is coming up the goods, so stay tuned for pics for a top mount and 3076 ... i think it will look a shit load sexy and give me far better value if i choose to go GT35 later and shoot for 400kw's... just saying..

also, i want this combo to sound raw rb and angry so top mount may help in this regard and having middle muffler with rear cannon, silencer removed for raw rb lumpy idle

also going to get a slim number plate to open up the front intercooler space, will need a mod plate with all mods too to relieve stress etc..

I think the slim NPs are a good idea but a few blokes do not like them and have told me they look like crap ??

It gives you as much air intake as possible , cooler motor is a cool motor :yes:

Love the way some blokes sort of nail the plates, sometimes bent plates to a beautiful car, might have something to do with tracking ??? but it looks shit !

Guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder ?

Plate looks good pete, not sure where i'll mount mine yet but i want that intercooler area clear for the air flow and looks better too, small details though...

Exciting times ahead, ordered a sinco topmount manifold and just waiting for ceramic coating and delivery, then coat the turbo housing and see when my fabricator can get on the job.. got quite a few things for him to do , some overkill but will look sexy...

Also going to have a screamer pipe and possibly a HKS hi power 409, has silencer so i know its restrictive but will use screamer for anything drag/track related so should sound the goods

Got the $$ now, waiting for shit to happen is frustrating but hope it will all be done in the next 6weeks..

No progress at moment, waiting for manifold and exhaust still, have sent turbo housings and rocker covers for ceramic coating so can't wait to see all these parts soon..

In other news, i acquired my brothers skyline so now i have two, i like this one more than my silver one so not sure what will happen here but i will convert to E85 and getting it dynoed, bout time i had some fun at a track or drags... Maybe start a different build thread for this one..

Love that colour!

Nice thread! Keen for start up updates.
