Nice!

Got similiar parts installed on my car already except turbo is a Garrett GT35 and boost controller is HKS EVC 3.

Do the internals first before it blows and save youself alot of labour costs from getting everything installed and then removed to get the internals done later.

Have YOU done your internals?

and youve got a GT35 inasnt?

:D dont make me laugh. You aint got a GT35 and you know it.

b33st - you can use RB26 rods, $400 and prepping.

I've got em in mine, and a lot of people do it as 26 rods are pretty decent for the buying price

GT30 Actually, i was flying over perth when i typed that :)

Ok i've decided to be a little more patient and wait till i got the cash and do internals properly at the same time. Looking at forged rods (crower), Pistons (venolia) looking for people opinions on this. Also What rings, bearings, headgaskets (brands, thinknesses) are people using. Crank i am just looking at balancing and probably nitrating.

Plan is to buy parts then get someone to bolt the engine together for me.

OK i've held off a little but and gone the whole hog. Going to it properly and all at once, internals and all. Have perchased venolia 20 thou over pistons and am now about to purchase a set of rods.

i have priced up the following.

Crower $2100

Argo $2300

Par $1800

I personally am leaning towards the par one's as the price is good. Any one used these or have an opinion on them.?

Starting to get somewhere now. After 2 years of buying bits and pieces work has actually started on the car. Just finished lifting the engine out now. Was going the spend the day stripping it down but had no bolts long enough to attach it to the engine stand.

Got her on the stand and stripped down today. Bores look perfect!

I am away on holidays next week for a few weeks then it's time to get some machine work done. Will probably get the head sorted first, just a mild port new and some stiffer springs. Not too sure if i will do the valves too.

Engine is at the Machine shop now.

Head is getting ported, tomei springs and cams

block getting bored, honed and o-ringed.

Everything is to be balanced (standard crank, Argo Rods, Venolia pistons),

using ARP Head stud kit and standard thickness copper head gasket and ACL Bearings.

Time for another update.

My Engine is now completed and will be picking it up from the engine builder some time this week if i can find the time.

I ended up shelving my Venolia pistons as didn't want to run the clearances that they specified and also wanted to drop the comp at little, CP pistons have gone in in their place.

Also didnt go with the copper gasket just a cometic MLS.

Heads ported, new tomei cams and springs, new guides also but reused the standard valves.

I can't belive this is taking so long but at least it is progressing. I just hope i'm back on the road by christmas.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
