I also had to drill an additional hole for the dipstick so it would go all the way in.

It looks pretty good. These are being sold on ebay for 449. some of the mount holes have to be enlarged and the girdle had to be shaved a bit for it to fit perfect but pretty decent for the money.

Well motor is almost back together. Hope to have it fully assembled in a week or 2 and ready to go back in the car. just waiting on rings, Head gasket, and getting head back from machinist after the valve job. The CXracing pan needed a little trimming and the bracket the oil pickup mounts to was way off. BUT it looks like it will hold significantly more oil then the stock rb20 pan i was running before. Also has really good welds and from i can tell some pretty good baffling. New billet wheel in the T88-34D

hahaha that's what I thought!

Thought your shit was broke? Hahaha. Still smoking or did that clear up?

Here is a link to where the article is hosted http://www.skylife4ever.com/2011/04/rb26-engine-assembly-how-to-build.html

They are older HKS pistons. But looking around they are still making the same design. Still find it curious that you didn't get the same gains I did in timing. Really starting to wonder if my timing is not indicating correctly. especially since at 18 degrees it was too retarded to put any boost to it. I had to get it past 18 degrees before it would make a full pass on the dyno without breaking up. I did have to change the CAS sensor gear in the cam. I installed it 180 degrees out but that was fixed by rephrasing the coils to match the firing order. But verifyed mech timing it show correctly.

Have any pics of the wiseco? I'm curious as to what the top of the piston looks like. added a pic above of mine.

Corrected above so it reads correctly. Damn cell phones!!! What kind of pistons are you running?

Cool thanks for the heads up. Last time I checked, cometic had a head gasket that had a ring around the combustion chamber also. I haven't really started shopping yet. I suspect my compression ratio was pretty low on the combo that I had before. One of the squish areas was removed from the head and it had a 1.2 millimeter head gasket in it. That may have been why I could go so far on timing. Changing things up a little bit this year shaving .5 millimeter off the head and going with a 1 millimeter head gasket. looking to make a little bit more torque off the turbo in the lower end.

So what did you see that makes you say 17 degrees was as far as you could go? I have never had any issues with cometic. I have always surfaced both the head and block to the recommended 60 ra. My car hasn't really seen any street duty yet though. its lived thru 100 gallons of fuel on the dyno and about 100 passes so at most 60 miles ;>

yep has a restrictor. also considering deleting the piston squirters.

Also gonna take some boost out of.it so it dosnt leave so hard

Jun oil pump. Gonna try the cxracing pan with some.mods and baffling.

24 valves removed, 24 valves hand lapped, 24 valves re-installed. another thing added to my list of things i don't want to do again. Head is off to get decked today along with getting the rotating assy in the turbo balanced. bearings are here, oil pump cleaned inspected and reassembled. Things needed, 1. Set of rings 2. Head gasket 3. Oil pan 4. Rods (I have a stock set but have decided i don't want to limit engine with rods) 5. Misc gaskets Hope to be completely reassembled by the end of march and ready for first TnT in april.

IM not a purist.... well unless you count going fast... I will use whatever motor gets me there.

No I had to massage the shock tower to squeeze the turbo in and the wastegate pipe needed to be repositioned.

It's a Greddy kit.

Should take the place of the 150 shot down the track for now. Will still need it to spool though.

2J IDEA is dead. upgrade billet wheel for the t88 New billet wheel for the T88. still and old ass turbo but this should wake it up a bit i hope.

Stock rb20 zr pan. so nothing. Was never a problem till i got into the 1.2 range for 60 foots. shopping for pan alternatives but problem will always be there until its converted to dry sump.

interested in price.

Remember what i said about if the RB ever lets go ;>

If I find a good used cheap one maybe.

Anyone have one laying around they want to get rid of?
