the ever beautiful R34 N1's.  

Now...you're scaring me.  

exceed the limit of the spring rate, the inlet valves will stay open because of boost pressure.   The result is neither pretty nor cheap to fix.  

You'd  suggest replacing them at N1 friendly boost levels then? Do you have a recommendation?

I would like to see the dyno graphs when it is done.

No problem.

No I really do like R34 N1's, ball bearing, water cooled, good response and some trick Garrett aerodynamics. :angel:

We use Iskenderian valve springs. You can do them with the head on, compressed air works a treat. :cooldance

Yes I like them too.

Do Isky make only one valve spring for the RB26?

Yep, it's a bitch but it can be done. :spcow:

hey sk

you must have a magic wand, i figure u would have to get the engine that high in the engine bay, u would need to remove nearly everything to do it and another 30 mins of work the engine would be on the ground.

actually just thought about it, dropping the front crossmember would probably be easier than pulling the engine.

Dean, that's exactly right...

Support the engine up from underneath, drop the crossmember, empty the sump and remove it...

More fiddly than having the engine out, but it saves a lot on labour costs.

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
