As posted elswhere the RB20T box is the last and strongest of the 71 series boxes . I went to a lot of trouble to put these guts into FJT caseings with reasonable success . If there was a next time I'd just modify the FJ bellhousing (need someone to accuratly bore the lower bearing hole and use the RB's front cover plate) and fit it to the RB71 box . I would never try to mix and match the early extention and selector bits again . We had to braze two speedo drive worms together as they were moved on the RB mainshaft and do not line ip with the early extentions hole . I have heard of people welding up and re-drilling the top two bolt holes and locating dowel , I reckon doing the FJ's housing mod is cheaper and simpler .

How much did it cost to get to 350rwhp?

GT30 turbo,external wastegate,550cc injectors,wolf ecu,bosch fuel pump and front mount cooler.

The power output is only restricted by using pump fuel.The boost is set at 19psi but im told the turbo will come alive at 25psi.

As for the cost i only paid for parts as i fitted and wired it all.The best money ive spent i know that much!

    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
