Not that I care, but when modifying a car it has to all meet the ADR standards.

No changing can allowed, no more than a 20% more power etc.

There's something about changing to an older engine somewhere, which is a no no, but given an rb30 comes out with one cam, using a different head and cams although stock, is still changing the cam.

That's easily sorted by an emissions test though.

The 30 bottom end and 26 or 25 head is a bit of an oddball as far as the standards and law goes.

Agree this setup is perfection ^^^ if i was to go a single it would be very similar.

All will get sorted. Just needs time.

Nice to hear there is some hope among the gloom :)

I know I will be happy when it is done and love the way it drive already, I think it will be a good hill climb car.

The old set up was crap compared to how it drives now, even with the existing problems I am happier :)

Illogical statement.

It was crap because the set up for your previous engine was crap.

That's why you are having the issues now because you are using the same suboptimal setup for your new engine, which is crap right now. Right?

Logical isn't it?

Not having a go at you, just saying now you have the knowledge that your set up from when you bought the car was suboptimal you know why it drove the way it did. Don't ignore the elephant in the room when you are critiquing your previous setup.

Anyway all the best with it and I hope you get exactly what you want and even better than what you expect. :)

What previous set up are you referring to , 1 when I bought it, 2. when I changed the cams, turbo and exhaust 3 the 3.2 and this one is not finished yet and when it is I expect it to be what I wanted to begin with, fingers X :)

Here are the 3 dynos

So do you have a pic of the harmonic balancer ?

Cause if it is in fact controlled by the factory CAS that could be the issue :(

I picked that the build will require a crank trigger to sort out timing issues ages ago....

Those where the pics i've been looking for

Doesn't look like it has a trigger wheel :(

Factory CAS could very well be the issue :/

I hope not but I've seen it to many times

what problem does this cause

Timing scatter at high RPM due to the longer timing belt, this is the problem when an engine is controlled by what is realistically a rubber band

My advise now is DO NOT push this engine till the problem is confirmed just in case cause timing scatter can cause big problems

thanks for that, could have saved me a bigger problem, didn't need anymore :)

Glad you said that I was going for a run today and I have been too busy with the kids for a while.

I will ask them if they ut a trigger wheel on

Pete you'd know if they did, it would be on the bill. Until the murrayis kit came along they were not cheap.

Not on the build sheet or the earlier build before I bought the car, just the ATI balancer and damper ??

Do they make that much difference or more a safety precaution for the motor ?

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
