No NOS?

Dyno time are you gonna put on a smaller snail?

That was fast, I have been waiting since 8/20. Still not ready.

Oh that outlet is gonna be changed. I found someone that has a stock one but he is slow in responding. May just make one out of some aluminum stock.

Exhaust studs are ARP 400-8033. I did give rob some measurements but im not sure what they where now. I do think I'm gonna need to move the front wastegate some so i can shoot the turbo straight down.

Some progress...If that is what they call it. Cams shimmed and degreed.

Hopefully my chase bays one will be done early next week.

Well had to work all day today so I didnt get much done. But did get to make some adapters for the knock sensor. The RB30 has a 12mm extra fine thread knock sensor and the RB26 uses 8mm. Not sure what I will work on today. Maybe some AC wiring and run a 10an fuel line. This 8an one has me nervous.

I recommend the raw brokerage one Ricky just posted. I was going to have them build one for me but R.I.P.S. made me an offer I couldn't refuse as he was building me a RB30. The raw one will put the turbo where it needs to be, much further forward. My manifold pretty much centers the turbo on cylinder 3 which is right where the strut tower is. Still will work but just a tighter fit, granted it is a T04Z so it's a bit bigger than your t3. I will post picks when it gets back from ceramic coater.

Well, I have been tinkering some while waiting for parts. Forever waiting on supertech, jesus. Well I welded some bungs for a oil drain from the head and oil temp sensor. Got the pan all bolted up and was putting on the AC bracket when i noticed the oil pump wasnt sealed all the way. I torqued it and didnt think much of it. Well, anyway I had to do a slight modification to the block to clear the Tomei oil pump because it is so much bigger than OEM. If you notice, the rb26 doesnt have the circle cast at the 2 o'clock position. It hit the tomei pump here. Terrible picture, but i ground down the circle and had some clearance putty to make sure everything was clearing. Also tapped the rips manifold for 3/8 npt fitings for idle air and FIC control. Working on shimming the cams now. Still waiting on shims. errrrrrr Tinkering with some micrometers.

Well i wouldnt say its the norm, but its not abnormal. The exhaust cam has the keyway for the CAS where the cam gear bolts to (at least the exhaust is different on the rb26.)

That is somewhat common. 256 is the duration. you can determine lift by a micrometer.

I can attest to the above.

If you do make sure you put pistons in it or your compression will suck.

For future reference Raw Brokerage.com sells them new now.

waiting on parts from supertech... Ordered parts from supertech. 1 week later i ordered RB30 from RIPS in new zealand. Had some custom CP pistons made and all this other crap, shipped over here, ready to go and still waiting on fuckers at supertech. Sad...

This is past due for updates btw

This had been dead since he originally posted it.

There's a milestone. Congrats.

Sounds like you will want the 2859r turbos. Robbie said this setup should see 1 bar at 3000. I'm kinda expecting more like 3500. Ive seen graphs of this setup and it has about 400 tq around 3200.

Yea I thought about that so i left about an inch on the mounting tab so i can move them back and side a screen in there if i want later.

Well, thanks to my ADD I didn't get much done today, lots of tinkering but i did manage to get the oil coolers mounted up, glad that's over, I hate fiber-glassing. They are kinda small but i think it will be ok. 3" tall x 7.5 wide x 2 thick X2. I will probably make brake ducts on the back side of them once she is up and running.

As long as you can get it to hook up.

Cops love that sound too.

Doing some more mockup today. Looks like everything clears fine. Downpipe has plenty of room, cept for the closed loop part.
