Racinjitter Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 i know i dont have a 300 but at least it'll be another rb25 in Mi looking good man if jitter can get me a rb30 i'll be tearing into mine this winter I was actually lookin for another rb30 yesterday. Good GOD they are cheap down there. I have also been looking for rb25de heads without vct, they arent as easy to come by. But we could always go with a rb26 head, but those cost a mint. I would rather just bolt a head on rather than tap it and put oil drains into it. Its a good thing you didnt go out on sunday for track time, it was raining down here. Sat would have been perfect.

triple B Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 yeah i contemplated an rb30 but i decided to do the rb25 this as movin kinda slow my summer budget got nuked but i am getting all the internals for the motor in october along with the turbo. i am concentrating on fab work at the moment. i found a parts Z and got the subframes off it so i am getting those all cleaned up and modifying the front mounts was going to finish pulling the VG this weekend but i got talked into going to DSM shootout in norwalk ohio. my buddy dave is running his low 10 sec EVO in it i am shootin for the Z to beat him while he is on his low boost map a mere 515 at the wheels lol oh racinjitter have you fabbed up your power steering lines yet. i was comtemplating those this past weekend while i was tearing stuff apart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racinjitter Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I havent fabbed up the lines yet, I havent had the time. They are 90% done though. I will get at the lines in a few weeks as of right now. I have woodward this weekend, WMZ meet and wedding next weekend. Hopefully once I get my gaskets for the clsd I can get it all done at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racinjitter Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Looks like you want to run the same turbo as I will be running next year. I have it sitting in the basement waiting for the Wolf EMS. Also I found out that there is another rbZ31 running here in Mi. It is this car.... . The old owner from florida sold it on ebay and local detroiter bought it. Yep he is running A/C and PS. I wish I had A/C. I have been trying to contact the owner to join up on some forums to give a little more info about it. But from what I am told the engine/turbo is stock.

triple B Posted September 24, 2007 Author Share Posted September 24, 2007 pics to follow soon as my internet is back up i have the engine mostly out now i have to get the upper part of the exhaust unbolted its bein a bitch ordering parts (rods pistons ex) tommorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racinjitter Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 I pulled the engine/tranny out of the parts car this past weekend. I decided to drop everything out the bottom, there was like 20 bolts total to get it out. With working on the ground it took me about a hour and a half to get it out. It is much harder to pull everything from the top from my experiences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triple B Posted September 27, 2007 Author Share Posted September 27, 2007 yeah if i can get a buddy or 2 over with a couple jacks and more jackstands i may do that since i need the front subframe out regardless i ordered my pistons and rods today. i got some stock bore cp forged pistons and eagle esp h beam rods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
