About the drysump,

You ideally need a 4 stage with rear drive to run your PS pump.

Two pickups on the left front of the sump, chanelled over to the RHS to allow for crank rotation.(better in the front as braking generates more G force than acceleration)

One pickup in the back of the head to remove oil from the cam area.

you can choose to run under vacuum, or use a tank return system as shown on my other pic, but the design of the internal tank needs to include a seperator and a condensor.

The other stage of the pump is for pick up from the remote tank, which in my case is mounted inside the car.

The engine block needs to be modified as well, you need to remove the internals of the standard oil pump, block off the pump outlet in the block. We have used two inlets into the main gallery so that each pressures half the oil gallery each. You also need to modify where the factory oil filter goes on.

The pump will onl fit if you make a new custom LHS engine mount, but you would need to check this as my engine sits further back than stock.

>_< run in tune is now booked for the 16th march :yes:

more pics :)

check em out....

3" exhuast with heat wrap, plus the hks 50mm wastegate with 2" screamer pipe to annoy the neighbours :D

my heat shield to keep hot air from the turbo away from the inlet path, it is going to seal hard against the bonnet (with rubber edging) to prevent any hot air entering:) i have a 4" feed coming from the front bumper to supply the pod with cool air.

monster pod filter, biggest i can fit, its got a 6" inlet, 8" overall diameter and 30cm long.

msd coilpacks mounted on custom bracket setup (sit in same position as stock coils and the top cover still fits on like standard, except last coil for cylinder 6 has gotta be on the slight angle as u can see from the pics to clear the cover, though im cutting a hole where the ignitor sits and putting mesh in it to let hot air out of the coilpack area)

fibreglass air duct made for front bumper for cold air feed to pod filter. not bad for a home job, still needs paiting yet

Brad that coil setup is a nice piece of work. Very well done and looks neat.

I love the way you still retained the coil over plug setup, not easy to do. Alot of other setups I've seen use leads from the coils.

I think i may just have to copy that coil set up, very elegant. Neatly wired, too. Lovely job all told.

What a superb engine. If you have any other info, maybe on a web site or whatever you can share I'd love to know all about it! You say you have moved the engine back? What happened to the front driveshafts? Do they run forward at an angle, are they custom, or have I misunderstood and this is a rear wheel drive car? Cheers. Must rate as the most sophiticated RB26 install I have yet seen. Tremendous effort, quite supeb.

Nice job on the engine bay. Does anyone know if those coils can be used with a standard ignitor which will be eventually upgraded to a HKS DLI Ignition Amplifier? I am using a power FC for managment

he is talking about Paul T's car not my stagea :blush:

LOL didnt know that...

where would i go without 4wd :D to the tyre shop alot haha

I reckon it would be sweet to arch em up with 15% throttle.... LOL

You could go for the most number of donuts world record...

Or maby the longest unassistated burnout...... Um Col scratches head....

:D run in tune is now booked for the 16th march :D

more pics :D

check em out....

Looks trick, except i would suggest you either get braided lines for boost/vacuum lines, or at least put some high tempo sheating around them....holes in these lines may not result in much fun

cheers for the info roy, i didnt really think about it getting too hot down their with the heat tape on the exhuast, but its been 8 months since ive even seen a turbo run, so i may be under estimating the heat produced :(

dont want unlimited boost now do we :)

im planning on getting one of those exhuast control valves to adjust exhuast volume level from in the car, for even more of a sleeper, and especially when going through RBT's and being pulled over by cops. plus keeping my neighbourhood happy when i come home in the early hours of the morning.

also i dont think the coilpacks will work with the ignitor setup. i had stock coils up until i got the autronics CDI unit and now i can chuck the ignitor pack out and just use the msd coils :)

Looking though and old HPI mag today at work i noticed that kier wilson was only running spitfire coils with HKS twin spark :)

i have been told numerous times by people that i couldnt use stock coils/or splitfires with the autronics CDI setup, only the mercury or msd coil setups, because they fire 3 (i think) times more than stock coils or something and therfore will burn out normal coils real quick.

jsut a suggestion about the exhaust control, get one for your waste gate too :D

they still let air through, but even if the cop gets u to rev for a test.. it might just help keep it abit more hush hush :D

Wastegate wont open at idle, only when it tries to limit boost that it will open.

and then you get a loveley sounding

Barrrrrrrpppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp!!

"LOVE THE GATE"

Can't wait to see a vid of this thing in action........ And hear the Gate on full song! :P

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
