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.

    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
    • So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
