you should have a 2 piece bracket that bolts down in the valley between the cams. the brackets have the holes needed to bolt down the coil packs.

nah haha but cheaper than buying a rb26 head with full intake setup

according to a thread on nicoclub.com RIPS makes an adapter to use rb26 intake on rb25. Here's the thread http://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread/179864

looking good man! I would also like to get eagle rods since they are quite a bit cheaper than carrillo/pauter but I don't know of any cars running them. I only want about 600 at the wheels and I would like to turn 9k rpm, to get the most out of my cams, so i'm not sure if i want to risk it.

yeah that tank is pretty slick. Would be cool if you could share some more details about your setup.

ah sweet, i was hoping you would reply haha. I'm just overly cautious about the whole oil starvation thing i suppose. I mainly just want to protect my investment since i'll be dropping a reasonable amount of money on this build, atleast a reasonable amount of money to me. I have no experience with it but I've heard of people attributing turbo failure to oil starvation caused by factory style pumps. Again its only hearsay since i'm a newblet, but i just dont want to risk it. Would it also be necessary to block the old pickup passage? The car will be street driven mainly for the time being but I would like to do some track events and i'll be hitting the 1/4 and 1/8 mile tracks regularly. Thanks for the tips and advice, i appreciate it.

Dry sump has been touched on in some past threads but I'm needing some feedback on my idearrrs. First thing i need to establish is that i'm set on dry sump, the addictional cost over an aftermarket oil pump is well worth the insurance provided by dry sump IMO. So now to my proposed plan. I'm only planning to run a 3-stage setup, 2 scavenges in the pan and one feed going in where the oil fitler is. I would like to just canibalize the gtr pan, or atleast use the flange off of it, since it's a pretty good base to work with. I'm also going to be using the tomei oil gallery restrictor to help remedy too much oil staying in the head. I have sketched out a rough idea of what i'm thinking about for the pan http://fragyle.net/bizerk/pan%20idea.jpg. I'm not sure if the oil pump itself acts as a front seal or what so until i can find that out i'm staying away from making a block off plate for the old pump. So, i guess my plan for the time being is to just gut the pump and leave it. I'm also not sure on how to size the resevoir tank. Is the resevoir tank need to be sized based on certain criteria or can i just use a off the shelf tank. Another thing i would like to do is add a small accusump for pre-lube, but i dont have any knowledge on how good that would work in conjunction with the dry sump or what size would be needed. I'm a major noob in this department since i have zero experience with dry sump setups. I'm only going on what i've researched and what little i've seen in person. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Brandon

you can buy a crank collar to fix the problem, JUN sells them

haha o man a possible 800ish hp..... thats dreamy

man i cant wait to see this beast when your done because i know its gonna be more than a handful. Also was wondering if you were gonna make any high capacity oil pans with baffling and if so would you be willing to sell one? good luck with your project man

sorry to wander off topic but concerning the gas... if you tune the car for US 93 octante then everything should be alright? is the problem just tuning for a higher octane then using lower octane? sorry if its a dumb question i would just like to clear it up for sure

ya i too have seen weiscos going for 700-800 and i'm pretty sure they are coated also

IIRC the power fc is considered a standalone but it uses your stock harness and sensors whereas most others use their own harness and can use your stock sensors or aftermarket. Also the powerfc is a plug and play type standalone because it has basemaps for your motor application.

haha joel sorry for being a tard... Brandon

hey man that looks good. I am by no means an expert on oil pan design or anything but i thought the oil pickups would have less chance of straving for oil if they were inside the trap door baffling? Again I'm no expert i'm just asking... no matter it looks really good and should work awesome!
