This build is taking too long.

Needs wheels up at 300ft action already

Hahaha. Getting there, mate. Crank and valvetrain bits being sent off to Pro Built Engines in QLD today.

Picture one of these but flipped the other way to suit the RB, a 100mm throttle body and a collection of Plazmaclamps to suit. Any thoughts on how it should be finished? Polished, raw, black, other? Stoked to have plazmaman.com involved in another RB engine build.

What is the best looking factory colour combo?

I like red engine covers with raw piping, subtle and purposeful :)

Just curious what head, 26 or NEO, there is so much talk about the NEO head being better then the 26 lately and given it hasn't been mentioned I thought I would ask

Subscribed, looks like it will haul arse :thumbsup:

It's a 26 head, mate. To be honest it'll be hogged out that far on the CNC and the bench the casting is the limitation. I doubt one would be better than the other from this perspective.

Yes is dumb

you should have bought a 91

Hahaha. This is the first of the Gen-2 8891. It's a little tougher than the old one and about what a 91 used to be. You never know your luck in the big city though. PTE have been pretty good to me. ;-)

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
