Picked these up last night.
272 degree 10.4 lift Kelford Cams - head needs scoliping around the buckets to allow the larger lobes to rotate.
Also got Kelford springs and a set of Forea valves.

Not a lot to update. Should have motor back next week so will be back into it, been busy renovating anyway.
Have run the wiring for new fuel pump and while the interior was out I ran some sterio wiring and hooked up a sub and amp I had lying round the garage in the boot for some beats.

Also got manifold strengthen skimmed and HPC coated and few other bits powder coated

Also picked up some bling front indicators to replace the orange ones second hand.

Got motor back, still bare block and head not fitted as I need to check valve to piston clearance before bolting it all together.

Fitted the kelford cams and Tomie cam gears today, sat rocker covers, manifold and turbo on to check the turbo will clear the rocker covers.

My eldest daughter's boyfriend came around last night in an R32GTR that he has just bought from Auckland. Really nice car still running a twin turbo setup albeit different turbos. I believe that it has been dyno'd at over 400kw (atw) and was running 17lb boost. The motor has been built up in Japan supposedly with some very good gear and the car has run 10 second quarter miles. The upshot of all of this was that it is without question the fastest car I have EVER been in- to the point of being ridiculous and scary.The torque and acceleration was something I have never experienced in my life so given what you are doing to yours its going to be one hell of a ride!
Look forward to seeing it finished.
Cheers

400kw is some good power! I'm looking for similar power levels. Could go much more with this motor but would become undriveable.
Unfortunately I've hardly driven it so really looking forward to getting behind the wheel.

Yes, good point Wal. Fortunately there is a new HiLux ute for exactly that although I did ask the question what on earth are you going to do with it? He has already put his name down for the next 2 track days which is exactly where it belongs and the only place one can really use that sort of grunt to anything like its full potential. Can't help but get the feeling he's about to open a big, expensive can of worms though....
I'll stick to the 1200!

Yup when they go bang they go bang and arnt cheap to fix as I've found out. Oil pumps are the number one issue with RB26s from what I've read so if he's planning some track days and that's un touched I'd recomend getting a winged sump, modified oil pump and a cooler onto it to save a world of hurt.
