I did mine on the weekend for weight saving/ transfer, bigger catch can and hard wiring fuel pump.

Very happy with the results.

interested in pics!

i have a few ideas about going to the boot but want to see what people are using as far as terminals in the engine bay/connectors as such.

thanks! thats nice.

im assuming yours is still a street car? reason i ask is because the battery isnt in a box. i do prefer the battery mount only as a box can make the install to bulky. If i decide to go put it in the boot i may need to get a different battery as i have a huge one at the moment.

i know exactly which distribution block you used also lol

I have mine in the boot (R32 GTS-T)

I have a dry cell battery in a morosso sealed box in the boot and a jump start point (+) where the battery used to be simply for convenien and a kill switch in the cabin

I'll get some photos tonight if you'd like!

Yeah mate, still a street car. Battery doesn't need to be in a box if it's a dry cell. I had a 15KG+ standard battery in the engine bay and pissed it off for the little 7KG dry cell.

The distribution block was very handy. I picked up most of the stuff from Jaycar.

Keen. Where did you source all your gear?

I'd be interested in a shopping list if you can provide one :P

I'm looking to prepare my HNR32 shell for 26/30 swap, currently RB20 undergoing a makeover.

@gtr jet .. Nvm, found it all. What did you use the relay for?

Also which bracket is pictured in your photo?

Hey mate, the relay is for the fuel pump as it is now hard wired to the battery.

The bracket holding the battery down is just one I whipped up with some steel bar I had laying around.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
