Building this thing from a rolling shell into a dedicated drag car build.

- 3.4L Spool stroker kit with drag I-beams

- TH400 3-speed auto

- Mickey Thompson ET Pro Radial tyres (275/60/15)

- Goal is 7.xx seconds @ 175-ish.

Holy Shit, that car reminds me of buster!

Funny that! :)

Bought valves, springs, locks, retainers, guides and seals today. Got a great deal from Fabre on the lot and it was all in stock.

Head being disassembled tomorrow and the block arrives tomorrow to begin prep too.

Very cool.

Do you have an approx completion date?

ASAP. I've dragged my feet with other pursuits in the time I've had it. It's all systems go now. I'd like to race at Sydney Jambo in March with testing prior.

Precision Gen-2 8891 and 66mm gate:

Enough assembly lube for 8 RBs:

Dirty, dirty diesel:

This is unnaturally attractive:

Almost all of this is staying out. Anyone need any airbag stuff?

Lots left to do:

I'm curious to see the machine work required to fit the RB head.

Any reason you are going the TH400 over a lighter option?

Will be sweet to see this car ripping huge skids again

 

I'll have photos of the entire process of adapting the head to the diesel block. Will also be machining up and fitting plugs for the head so there is no water near the deck at all. The block will also be filled to the deck.

TH400 was chosen because the power I expect this to make will be more than what my prefered trans will take (C4). The aftermarket support for TH400 is now so strong that they can be made unbreakable at this power level and application. They're just such a known quantity.

The street car ran 10s pretty easy and needed a cage, GTR rear end, different suspension etc. It has since had 30psi jammed into it and it made 415kW. It will run 9s soon.

This car was offered to me as a roller with everything already done. As hard as it was to sell the red car, I have a history with this car too so it was an easy decision.

Kyle from 6Boost is making the exhaust manifold for this engine. Will fit a 5in dump without cutting up the bay and include the 6 x EGT bosses. Stoked.

Going for his 'pro-mod' manifold?

This should be amazing!

Out of curiosity what sort of rpm are you thinking of turning it to? I'm keen to know what sort of piston speeds people think are possible, especially with a 94mm stroke.

We currently turn ours to 8000rpm in our circuit car and that works out about 25m/s which is getting up there. Your engine being for drag purposes I suspect you are intending to turn it a little harder??

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
