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

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.

    • So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House  
    • Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.
    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?
