I Genuinely am disappointed that the head is going back onto that block........

yeah would be better as a table with a small plaque with the words "A Real RB Head"

What am I missing here? Is the block not clean enough or something? 

 

Or are you suggesting 3L block with 3.4L stroker?

Not much excitings lately, been busy with house stuff and wedding planning however managed to clean up the block a little. Been contemplating throwing in forged pistons and rods however that's just opening up a new can of worms. The initial plan was to throw in a stocker motor but.... that didn't go to plan lol.

So being sensible I'm only installing new conrod bearings, spool crank collar, spool billet oil pump gears and then balance the crank. Just trying to contact a few machine shops but they seem to be so hard to get to. Might just rock up and drop it off.

Typical RB cranks, a whole 4mm to drive the oil pump LOL.

With how much boost you run, i thought forged pistons would be a necessity

It's not boost that blows apart motors, it's torque :)

Also being a NEO motor she should be alright with a healthy amount of boost and power. Being a non-GTX style wheel now, I won't be screwing in silly amounts of boost like before.

    • Perfect, I'll get to it this winter then at the same time as I weld on my anti squat kit. 
    • Alright so my 32 only has one temperature no matter what degree you set it to. I’ve tried disconnecting the servo motor arm and moving it either direction and got no change. I’ve fixed the leak in my AC and re charged it and with it on and clutch engaged it still blows hot even though the low pressure pipe going to the firewall is ice cold. Both heater core hoses are hot while running as well. Diagnostic code showed 24 for intake air temperature sensor. Anybody got any ideas?
    • I said Garrett style. Not Garrett genuine. And something in the G30 550 range is what you want. Not those pokey little old fashioned T28 sized things. The intake ports in the head are small. There is little benefit in fattening up the runners and leaving ths actual ports small. Just run what you've got. And on the subject of Nistune vs Haltech etc..... You know you can control the transmission with decent standalone ECUs these days, right? No need to keep any of that old Nissan bullshit. Don't get me wrong - I use Nistune on my Neo. But it is a DET, so the number of bodges and workarounds I had to do to make it work in a chassis without ABS, TCS, etc, is quite small compared to the herniated arsehole you will have trying to make it work on a motor that doesn't have some of the things that the turbo ECU wants to see. Just easier to bite the bullet and go aftermarket outright.      
    • Hmm. Only when the f**king thing is actually working. Still can't find the leak. And that's with dye being put in the last 3 times!
