1995 RVR sports gear rebuild questions.

I have the book too. But I find it a little like a big advertisement for go fast bits. Not really much howto stuff in it. Just buy the bits and bolt them on.

That blueprinting book that you put me onto last year Jack, that's a better value book. The name escapes me atm but it was very informative for actual builds, clearancing, block prep and bread & butter stuff like that.

Jack, I like your line of thinking.

Not 4g specific, but all the principals remain the same. Deffinately worth $22

Thats the one. Mine is a bit dogeared now.
Thats a much better book if you are thinking of building/assembling any engine.i like the build sheet in the back too. I thought it was a david vizard book, not rick veoglin. Anyways david has a few sa design books and is well recommended also.

Awesome well I mite invest in a couple books to help with things. Thanks for the info guys.

 

[seanay00]

is it gonna be worth me using this Greddy Manage blue on the RVR?? or should i just use a flashed evo 6 ecu?? i mean i have it here so thought it my beneficial throwing it in?

 

[seanay00]

well got my new S/S manifold on friday. I know peeps said be weary of the S/S manifolds because of cracking but it all looks ok and my mate is a boilermaker so he can fix it if there are any issues.

 

[evo-gsr]

Just support the weight of the turbo with a bracket to the block. It should help slow the cracking down a bit.

 

[seanay00]

do all s/s manifolds crack?? or just ebay ones?

 

[evo-gsr]

I guess it would depend on the quality of materials and workmanship ?

 

[seanay00]

Yea it all seems like good welds. We'll just have to see once it's all on and working. I do like Ur idea of a bracket to support the turbo.

 

[4piknup]

Thats the factory setup, with a bracket. It will help the gaskets live and the bolts stay tight.

got my 19T upgrade and rebuild kit. Just waiting on my engine rebuild kit and i can get this show on the road.

 

[evo-gsr]

Its also a good idea to get tbe rotating assembly of the turbo balanced once its all together.

 

[Donkay]

You don't need to balance if you got the wheel from kinugawa and if it's prebalanced (it has some shaved part on back of wheel)

The only thing you may need to do is machine the cartridge to fit the bigger wheel

 

[evo-gsr]

Lol. Alright then mate. :blink:

 

[Donkay]

Already done it, converted the Td05 16 to a garrett 60-1 wheel aka fp red

Boosts 25psi no problems

 

[seanay00]

yea it is a kinugawa kit and has been machined. I was going to get it balanced to be on the safe side.

 

[Benzo4gT]

You don't need to balance if you got the wheel from kinugawa and if it's prebalanced (it has some shaved part on back of wheel)

The only thing you may need to do is machine the cartridge to fit the bigger wheel

Um, cough :huh: The chra is balanced as a complete unit, so putting a new piece on will change the balance of the rotating assembly as a whole. The new piece can be balanced perfectly but that does not mean it matches the balance

of the assembly that it's going to be fitted to. These parts, although being sold as an upgrade, still need to abide by the laws of physics and the entire chra should be re-balanced to guarantee the correct operation and longevity of

the turbo.

Sure, you might get away with it, but physics is physics irrespective of how much luck you dip it in.
