Whats the bet they have bought the superseded tooling for GT500 blocks from whoever used to do it.

Fark displacement. Cubes are for special need kids. Grown ups are not afraid of revs and boost

Didn't you recently add another 500 cc in your car by the way of an RB25?

It looks to be for the 2.8L configuration.

What's the difference between a 2.6, 2.7 or 2.8? That's just crank length

All of which can have an 86.5, 87, 87.5 or 88 mm

piston if you want?

Unless it comes with a matching set of pistons for the "pre machined block", this block adds no advantage if that's the case. Even then, what's a bore and hone?

Nope.

Unless by recently you mean over 2 years ago. In which case I did slap a forged motor that cost less than a wrecker RB20 in my car as it was the cheapest (albeit very lucky) way to get the car back on the road.

    • Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.
    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
