for the water return, the only thing i can think of is flow with the thermostat open and close. so maybe i do have to run it in a Tee off the back port as well?

I need an IAC/AAC for a rb26. i have a solenoid so that isnt manditory. its the piece that is on the intake manifold here

yea i think i was having a brain fart when i posted that. haha sorting out the vac and water lines now... have some questions if anyone is actually looking at this... I plan on running AEM EMS, but would like to get it running on the stock setup first. i do not have the stock MAF so i am going to try and just get it idling without them on OEM ECU... hopefully run MAP with the ems... all of this is contingent on this damn economy though... Again i am not using the stock oil cooler, i have one in my custom radiator. i have a greddy take off w/ thermostat for that. Thanks in advance for any insight. Lee

well i was going to drop it in this weekend but i went to bolt up the oil pan only to find out the rear main seal retainer had threads that were stripped... ehhhh brand new rear main seal in there too...damn...anyway parts will be here monday.... had to take off the trans, clutch, flywheel and all that crap...damn..... oh well i guess this is the 1st hickup so i guess i cant complain, i am sure there were be more to follow... heres a pic of the GT coolant mod...

for 28k it better vacuum your house and @#$%% your @#@()!* ya know

like this

On the AAC and the Air Regulator (bolted to the bottom of the butterflys) this is what i was thinking about doing On my setup, the AAC bolts directly to the intake manifold. so i was thinking instead of welding a bung on my charge pipe i would just use a small air filter on it. For the Air regulator i was thinking of welding a -10an bung on the bottom of the manifold and hook up the one side to that and then run another filter on the other side of that... anyone see any problems with that?

still pluggin away?

Ok guys i am pretty much done with the intake mods so i am ready to start plumbing her. I have a aftermarket intake manifold and am ditching the stock oil cooler too. Here is my question for now. In this picture, are these where the water return lines for the turbo (hard steel lines that have the banjo bolt) will go? i am redo all this in braided line and getting rid of all this dumb stuff on here. the oem lines where all kinked and broken and some where missing when i got the motor so im trying to double check. About the AAC, i am running a throttle body so wouldn't i have to weld a bung on my charge pipe before the throttle body and hook up the AAC to that for it to work correctly, right?

Hey guys, i have a 11mm fuel rail and i would like to get this think cranked up on the stock injectors for right now. can i just use a thicker o-ring on the stock (10.5mm) injectors? or will this just blow out...

It's a 3/4" BSPT. The best price I found was at Pegasus Racing. http://www.pegasusau...sp?Product=3230 thanks TurboSE

totally agree but here is one on ebay just fyi My link

Does anyone know the thread size and pitch of the rearmost coolant line under the intake manifold. i am running a custom oil cooler so i was going to order all these fittings but i am out of town and forgot to measure it. rb26dett its the one on the left in this pic. thanks, just trying to save 2 days this is another picture of it (stony's)

yea i am using an 80mm throttle body. i will have to reply when i get back to the shop, i cant remember what i was refering to. i think i was talking about the water ports that bolt to the bottom of this assembly.

yea i was thinking just enforcing the floorboard area but would prefer plates that bolted to the engine. i guess i can make it either way...

anyone running a scatter shield? i searched but didn't return anything... post pics if so.

ok got mine drilled and tapped (except for the water ports im gonna weld those on. my tap seems likes its way to long to get it to thread on the water ports without hitting the center bolt hole). just to be clear you do leave the bottom alone water "port/log" alone correct. also what size did you use to hook up the swirl pot to the radiator? 12an? i see stony h as his swirl pot ports in a horizontal line and not vertical. i guess as long as they are submerged it doesn't really matter.

ahhh thats what i have been looking for.. finally found it... aww... dead link

10 bux difference in the intake gasket set and this i mean... i do need to find the inner gasket though.

just to be clear is goes between the head, not just under the butterflys. so you have to completely tear down the intake manifold.... i was doing it anyway so it only cost me exta 10 bux... why not....

Well, its going slow as hell with the holidays and family in town. Got her all stripped down and the block painted with Por 15 engine enamel. got the water feeds and oil feed braided lines ran, fuel sump finished and primed (not pictured yet), r230 mounted with energy suspension bushings (not pictured and still have to play with alignment seems to be far off to the passenger side) and have the intake side of the block torn down. Waiting on the oil cooler sandwich/thermostat to get here, and trying to figure out what i need to reinstall. i will probably weld up something similar to what stony is running on his coolant lines on the manifold. The stock setup has way to much bullshit. Thermal Gasket Manifold Porn

:angry: :angry:

get back to work, you cant let me have my 26 up and idling before yours
