This is the Quonset. Its big and yellow.

Inside.Backside.

RB's are everywhere.

Freshly Pulled.Stale.Rotten.

I was running 15(16spike)psi of boost and bagging way too hard with no fueling for way too long.

This:Turned into this:

So I swapped the lazy *** rb20 turbo with an r33 rb25 turbo:

Turned boost down to stock, then this happened:The dipstick popped out and fertilized my entire engine bay. Way too much blow-by.

The next saturday I decided to do this:

Now im getting parts for this:

A blown r33 rb25 i picked up in January. The #2 cylinder popped.

I have some gtr injectors, still need a top mount fuel rail:

A side mount intake plenum:

Ill try to post updated every day or 2.

Started half-stripping, de-greasing, taping and sanding the engine bay for paint.



Hopefully start painting tomorrow.Anyone know the best way/place to hide the fuse box on a 32?

I do!Hid the fuse box today. Alot easier than i though it was going to be.

Pulled all the relays and a few fuses so it would fit through the hole.Had to rip off a bunch of tape on the wiring harness to allow it to make the bend.Test fitted then taped it up again.

Gonna look much cleaner i think.

Way too much **** arrived.



-ARP head studs-Billet aluminum fuel rail-rb26 444cc injectors(for a start)-walbro 255lph fuel pump-hicas lock bar-water pump-oil pump-nismo adjustable fuel pressure regulator-timing belt-full gasket set



Still much more to come.

I finished with the complete hicas removal, minus the lock bar. I rerouted the hicas pressure line from the pump to the 'p/s cooler' then back to the reservoir. So i dont need a non-hicas p/s pump! Also, started putting back in some of the wiring harness.
