BTW I forget to say there is NO such thing as too many tools... Thats 1/4 the amount of tools I keep in my truck on desert trips..

 

Internals...I will be deciding on once I get the head and everything off. If the pistons, rings, rods, cylinder walls, etc look good, then I will most likely be keeping them all and just replacing all of the bearings.

-Cometic metal headgasket, stock heads, greddy timing belt, all oem seals and gaskets
-Garrett GT35R (T4 hotside), tial 44mm wastegate, manifold undecided yet, custom 3.5" exhaust all the way out
-stock intake plenum and ITB's
-random hybrid fuel system consisiting of parts of my AAM fuel system, some CJM components, and other various pieces
-apex'i power fc d-jetro
-custom motor mounts and driveshaft
-unsure on the clutch right now

 

I can get the power fc d-jetro with commander for $1000, then the datalogit costs $300 or 325.

And about the tools...I agree, I just thought "wow" when I really thought about it though

 

i looked online and found the Apexi Power FC with Commander for $981. Then you need to add the sensor kit (required for D Jetro) which was $322. The boost control kit was another $350. Thats $1653. Add in the PowerLogit software and thats $1953. I found the AEM EMS for the RB online for $1681 (first place its likely cheaper elsewhere) which includes every item needed (boost control too). It was $1900 for the AEM EMS with boost control etc etc and a UEGO for true target AFR adjustment...Now go buy the AEM EMS already

 

I have found the PFC w/ D-jetro sensor kit for 1059 and am still using my E-01 for boost control duties for now, so no need for the boost control kit. Then add the $325 for the Datalogit and that is a total of $1400....but if you found the EMS for 1681, maybe I can find it for closer to the $1400...I guess I will investigate further

Besides the E-01 blows for high boost control and its MUCH easier to map boost into your fuel and timing maps....

 

And I just found the PFC Djetro cheaper....Zexy if you haven't already bought yours.... https://www.rhdjapan.com/shop/cart.p..._detail&p=1487

EDIT: more huge news in the way of the PFC. No need for buying a $325 nz-datalogit system. A guy from germany has been on rx7club.com designing a new (and might I add FREE) version, that is actually much nicer called FC-Tune. Here is a link to the thread on rx7club, talking about it with all the updates...http://www.rx7club.com/showthread.ph...&page=38&pp=15....and here is the link to where the latest update can be downloaded....http://www.fctune.com/download/development/

EDIT 2: looks really nice, but after reading more it seems there isn't support for the RB26..yet

 

Ah damn. I have mine already.. But i payed more than that

002-M-P here are a few pics of my process 2 weeks ago and before. Hope you don't mind but i wanted to share. I'll remove if you want:










Only some of the parts..

 

What turbo you got sitting there?

 

Of course I don't mind....Your engine looks very clean inside. I plan on taking my head off next week and hope I find everything is in similar order.

I see you have a bunch of your parts already (that means you are way ahead of me in this project). I have the gasket set and timing belt only right now. I see the Sard R2D2 blowoff valve, but what is that other Sard box up top? Also, where did you find that sparkplug cover GTR plate? Some of the paint is worn off of mine.

Oh yeah and let me know what color you are painting your valve covers so we don't end up with identicle looking engine bays, lol

 

the other sard box is a fuel regulator. both of you guys motors look to be in good shape, i cant wait to see these build up threads. good luck to you both.

 

Oh and since you guys are pulling them apart....have you considered installing an HKS stroker kit? Everyone keeps saying more displacement, V6, etc. Might be nice to spool a large single turbo with 2.8L instead of 2.6

 

The Sard box is the Sard Race F.Regulator

Call RB motoring for the ornament plate.

I still have no clue on how i want to paint my covers. I'm browsing pics and forums to get ideas Mines are chipping away too.

 

I really can just kick myself for not doing this when I first wanted to! WHY do I listen to everyone else!

 

where are you getting the custom motor mounts and driveshaft made at..is it pricy to make a custom driveshaft?

 

Cant go wrong with the FC they treated my good for years with the 7s. Good luck on everything

 

Custom steel DS's are around $250-300...aluminum slightly more and CF of course even higher(around $1000)...not too bad in the grand scheme of things.

 

Oh i totally missed you post sorry..

GT35R w/ T4 P-trim exhaust side .82 AR. Wanna replace it for a GTK650?

 

GL to the both of ya.......very awesome to see this go down inside of the know community and not just some random shop we dont have access to....


Matt you gotta give me a ride when its finished

 

RB25 trans or going to use the 350Z?
