New R32 Owner From Nz!

Hey all,

I have recently upgraded from a B18CR integra to a 330wkw R33 sedan with an RB26DETT drivetrain conversion.

Unfortunately in my 2nd day of ownership a high boost pull combined with wheelspin destroyed the oil pump and the car lost oil pressure!

Quickly turned the engine off, and there was nothing foreign in the oil, so I think I have saved the engine from serious damage!

A crank collar and N1 oil pump had recently been installed, as the original one had cracked due to the small engagement.

It seems as though even that was not strong enough!

I am now in the process of saving up until I can take the car to RIPS and get the repairs done.

My research shows me that I will not be let down by them, and I would rather spend more money to get it done right, than have to do this all again a second time!

Basically I am looking to get the following work done, so that I will be able to use the power without risking breakages, and also be able to take it to the track on occassion!

Tomei oil pump

Enlarged capacity/baffled oil sump

New main & rod bearings

Balanced rods

Piston rings

Replace worn oil/water lines

1.5mm oil restrictor

Head gasket

Head studs

Timing belt

Water pump

Tensioner

Catch can setup

Adjustable cam gears

Retune

Oil pressure switch

Based on the hours and hours of reading I've done, I believe that the above will go a long way to making this a reliable RB26! It should have more potential for power, and the mods will give me peace of mind that my oil pressure isn't up the piss while I'm beating on it around the track!

The current mods to the RB26 are a pair of Garrett GT2860-9s, 770cc injectors, and a Link G4 ECU.

It would be good to know what people think this combination should be capable of putting out once the above modifications have been done!

Anyway, glad to be a member and all your comments, thoughts, and recommendations are greatly appreciated!

Thanks man!

You probably have an RB26 in your 32 I suppose?

Do you have any experience with rectifying the oil system failings? Does my list look like it should cover everything off?

im now running an rb30.

there is a massive topic in the forced induction thread regarding oil control for rbs.

have a good read(I think 60 pages from memory).

read the first and last couple, should give you the jist.

RIPS have had the car for a few months now, and the build has turned from a repair in to a full on overhaul.

I'll let the images I have selected speak for themselves!

Two, yes two Bosch 044 fuel pumps to feed the beast!

They will feed a standard RB26 rail modified to twin entry and centre return.

Engine ready to go back in

You can see the new sandwich plate and an additional oil pressure sensor for an Innovate MTX-D gauge & the Link G4 for oil safety cutoff

The twins

GT2860R-9, but I have seen then referred to as GT2859R-9 also

Should give great response and around 330wkw on 98 and hopefully 370wkw on E85

Enough to keep me content for a while!

You can also see RIPS modified fitting at the top there.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      You still want a proper tune on the stock ECU though. Stock tune + stock ECU with GT-SS/-9s is probably playing with fire if you're running more than stock airflow/power.

      Definitely a hearty eater when we go out, I consider these meals my cheat day as I've been watching my calories in and calories out pretty hard since my little fun size stroke, I've gone from a fat boy of 89 Kg, I'm only 165cm tall/short, down to a almost semi lean 73 Kg over the last few years, I'm currently around 17% body fat which my doctor is very happy with, but, my goal is to slowly get down to and maintain 15%,so yeah, I want all of the protein, carbs, fats and sugars when I go out for a binge

      There was a great one on Victoria Rd in Gladesville too back in the day. I can only assume GTSBoy is thinking of the mill up on the wollondilly, no restaurant there any more but they have restored the original steam engine on site and run it every few months, have an annual steampunk festival etc @The Bogan, you came to the wrong town for restaurants. we have a few reasonable asian and indian options but the Paragon is as good as it gets otherwise. That brewery is apparently just opened, been meaning to give it a go some time. The Highlands have plenty of fancy options but I suspect you are more a hearty eater than fancy eater
