Hey guys looking for a workshop to assemble my 25/30 from around brisbane, is there any one you would highly recomend? or any body you would highly recomend not to go to ? or any expierences good or bad im a all ears, ive spoken to one person but he is about 7 weeks away from being able to do anything. everything has been purchased all the parts are there i can think of and machining should be finished this week, just waiting on the head to be assembled then i can go pick it up... ill provide cliffs just in case "tl;dr"

cliffs:

-looking for workshop for engine assembly (25/30)

-recomend some one you have used or some one to stay away from

-machining will be finished this week

-all parts have been brought

-just need some one assemble

-who have you used for you assembly?

thank you ! hope to hear from you guys soon, also hope i put this in the right section >.<

You would be better off finding someone to assemble AND tune it. Someone assembling an engine generally will not offer and warranty if tuned elsewhere.

Or assemble it yourself and then get it tuned.

Which bearings have you bought?

Generally the assembler would choose appropriate bearings based on the the state of the crank and block.

Obviously rings can be gapped to suit if you already have those.

Now this may not be an option for you, but If it was me I would seriously consider shipping the parts to RIPS to get them balanced and everything bolted together.

It will be a longer wait, but at least you know it is done right.

hey Jazzadub, ive got ACL race series bearings main and conrod bearings, the clearences have been checked by the machine shop and i brought the bearings to suit, je pistons and rings, everything has been purchased after all the checks were done, the machine shop had 2 assemblers but one is backed up for 7+ weeks and also said at times he has to put his over seas customers work first but he will try help me out. other isnt picking his cell phone up, so im just seeing if there is any one that they highly recomend, ive only heard the best of things about rips and he is definetly an option, everything has already been sent for balancing... thanks for your imput ill shoot rips an email and see what he has to say... the engine cost me 17k all up and i searched boost and some other forums and every one has something bad to say but not really anything nice to say so its made me really paranoid haha

I would have thought the engine builder would prefer to do the balancing themselves - I'm sure Rob would if you sent everything to him.

What do you mean by everyone has had something bad to say - about what?

What about tuned performance, former Godzilla motorsport mechanic and seems to be getting a good rap so far, if Dan from erd's still building engines on the side I'm sure someone can put you in contact with him

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
