Pauter titanium x beams. At around 9k for a set landed and sized that's got the rods covered. As for Pistons, you can custom order Pistons from the mclaren Mercedes engine division at around 25k, however the tolerances required to run these mean you must preheat all fluids and componentry before starting. However, at 400kw with "room to grow" you aren't giving enough information. For a basic build, do what the other 40 thousand rb owners have done, cp and a good h or I beam from Manley, spool, God, I dunno, look.

Not sure if true, but ive heard that valve springs can be damaged if motor is flogged cold? I cant imagine a mechanic in Japan working for Mines, to say no no no, don't use tomei, use only supertech!! lol... just saying... :ph34r:

Read it on Oztrack.com.au , there's other causes like bouncing off the limiter, overheating etc..

there was a thread only about a month ago where someone else had exactly the same issue and fixed it by fitting non Japanese branded valve springs, really it's up to you, you can listen to people who have real world experience with their own cars, or you can listen to brand fan boys who's experience is something they once read that someone posted about their neighbors cousins sisters boyfriends friends car

At the end of the day it's your money and your car and what you do with them is your choice, but it's not always the poor man that pays twice, some times the ignorant man does as well

I run tomei springs and valve guides etc etc.

Reason.

Guy ran same head work for 100,000km's before the rod snapped (same story blah blah). Seen the rod. What a mess.

The guy that built the engine is Japanese and did say with the jap kit it requires knowledge on how to assemble them.

Anyway - im sure there is some good kit in aussie. Would be tempted for nitto stocker one day :)

The tomei springs will work as long as the valve seats have not been cut, the issue is that these engine are now old enough, that if you don't cut the seat you end up with leaking valves.

Of corse there is some good stuff here, Japan asked us not to bring our group A cars over there 25 years ago, so we've always been a head of the game

haha.. you must be joking, ahead of the game? so are you saying Australian cars are ahead of the game on the japs, I don't think the 35GTR is behind any game anywhere...

Oh dear. He was referring to the Gibson Motorsport Group A R32's which were massively ahead of their Japanese counterparts in the Group A era and also to the high levels of competence and knowledge base in our local motorsport. He was not talking about the manufacture of road cars.

You're right I did edit the post but the only thing I changed was the 1 to a 2 because I hit the wrong key, the rest is exactly how I posted it in the first place

Most people would have reconized it was supposed to be 25 due to group A no longer existing after 92

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
