That's correct

tuned at jez and ran 140mph ?

About 448kw at 24psi

If my stupid build ever finishes or if I don't rage quit and burn the lot I'm going to try beat that mph :)

Cheer up sunshine, you're on the home stretch now. You just gotta keep it together a little longer[emoji12]

How far off are you mate 

Just need the injectors to fit somehow, plenum on, redo the entire oil system (as the old one was filled with bits of metal) and then slot the lot in.

Honestly over it :(

 

Man you need to harden up, this has been a small and quick build by comparison to what goes on around here. 

Stop being so precious, it will make it easier when it throws a rod on the dyno ;)

 

 

 

Okay so besides the fact I can't seem to get ever so popular 1/2 height with extension injectors on, I decided to bend some left over strips of aluminium to fit my obsessively large 25 row Setrab oil cooler than cost as much as my kidney.

Will redo the brackets again once I'm happy with fitment.

(Yes that's a bit of cable ties on the rear end lol)

My injector woes in a thread:

Long story short - don't try and fit 1/2 height injectors to a RB25 NEO intake manifold. Even though they're at the right height using extenders blah blah blah they don't fit. All resellers will tell you they fit, they don't. They are wrong, I am right.

Serious note, if anyone wants to take my car/motor/tools/spares the lot.. I will trade for a BMW 335i F30 or E90 (must have N55 motor) in auto.

Over it.

BMW must have less than 70 000 km/h

Nearly defeated but as son of immigrants I will never give up that easily :)

Plenum is now a R33 item, new R33 Plazmaman rail and shit fits now. Turbo housing back on too with a welded elbow, no more blowing off silicone hoses.

Not long to go!

And these engine mounts, was going to get Nismo ones but Phil insisted I get these whilst he ordered a set for his S15. TBH I think they're gay as aids, drove his S15 and could feel engine vibrations through the steering column. But that's a stock bottom, unbalanced S15 so Yeah.

I have urethane mounts on the r34 and the vibration is pretty much unnoticeable after around 500km of driving. Same mounts on a friends evo 6 was a totally different story however.. these will be fine on the Skyline I think

How much movement or flex do those mounts have?

Are you going to put both in or just 1 on passenger side 

They seem to have "some" flex, I'm skeptical. Run both for now, if they're shit I'm going to send it.... Into the bin.

Hopefully, the RB is somewhat more "balanced" than a tractor motor lol.

Hoping to get the motor in this weekend.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
