Big Bird The R32 Gtst

[joey91]

Hey guys names Joey I live in Caboolture and this is the build for my r32 gtst, I was originally building the motor to put in my rodeo ute but later decided that a motor with all the parts I had chose to use deserved to be in a better car so I was on the hunt for an R32. After searching for a couple of months I found this (which my little brother loved).

After a couple months of collecting parts I went to pick up my Tein super streets from Mercury Motorsports and saw this

And after about 30 minutes of talking about it with my little brother he decided he was going to buy the black one off me and I would buy the yellow one so It got put at a tow truck

What's the motor your building?

What's the motor your building?

hey man I'm in the process of building an rb25, I'm just waiting for the cams so I can put the motor in now.

[joey91]

Ok so after a couple of days owning It I pulled the old coilovers out and put the Teins in

Next I started pulling the existing engine and gearbox out which only took about 3 hours to Pull it all out

Now the engine was ready to be sent off to be machined so that everything was and good and better got a couple of pictures while the machining was being done, the block was bored, honed and acid bathed an the crank was balanced and a crank collar was fitted. The original crank that came with the block turned out to be bent but I luckily found one quickly and it pretty cheap.

The machinist cleaned up the ports, put in new valve springs new retainers skimmed the head a little and cleaned out the lifters.

Appears that the right bits are going into it. What about the manifolding and snail?

Hey man I have got the intake manifold, exhaust manifold and turbo all sorted just trying to find the pictures so I can put them up.

[joey91]

Ok so found the photos of the intake manifold, exhaust manifold and turbo

As you can see I have went with the plazmaman plenum, throttlebody and the black plazmaman fuel rail. Exhaust manifold is a t3 single entry 6boost and the turbo is a GTX3582r with a .82 rear housing

[joey91]

Got the cams bolted down all nice and tight and put new welch plugs in, also got the rear main seal and oil pump done as well now we just have to put the new water pump, balancer and timing belt on

That's the only photo we got a chance to take.

[joey91]

Ok so got all the motor together now just have to bolt on the intake manifold and exhaust manifold.

Also picked up some R32 GTR seats really cheap.

Here's a few shots from today.

[joey91]

Got a little bit of work done tonight, put the 6boost on and bolted the turbo onto in also got the plazmaman bolted onto the bottom runners but didn't take a picture.

[joey91]

So done a bit of work on the car over the weekend, we mocked up the surge tank and my external fuel pump only took a photo of the car on the hoist though, but will post some pics of where the pump and tank are sitting as we aren't putting it in the boot.

I went with the aftermarket industries under car surge tank.

Also got the injectors and fuel rail on and walbro intank put in aswell.

I have decided to use the siemens 2433cc injectors so I don't have to upgrade.
