The Quonset Project

[APL]

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 ass 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.

Looking good Anthony. For the new 25 engine, what pistons planning to run?

[APL]

I have some oem 86.5mm on the way. The cylinders might have to be bored out larger than that though so im not 100% set on the .5 overs.

[APL]

Pistons arrived today.
They are 86.5mm, 0.5mm over. Still oem make.

hey is that plenum this one? Do you know if it is compatable with an rb20?

How does it look quality wise. Gonna need some reviews once the car is up and running ...

[APL]

The one in that picture looks better than mine does. I didnt even know they were on ebay. I ordered mine directly from the manufacturer so it was like $225 to my door. The performance gain from this probably wont be as much as the greddy, but i can run a fmic without it looking shitty until i man up and buy the real thing.

Wont fit rb20

[APL]

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?

[RyanGTS-T]

Put it under the battery box area. Where the cover piece is between the fender and the frame that keeps it from getting wet.

[APL]

Yeah that looks like the best spot. Thanks man.

[APL]

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.

[APL]

Im gonna spray all over this bitch.


First thin coat.

[RyanGTS-T]

Now I wanna hide my fuse box, LoL.

Looks good!

[APL]

Whipped out the SuperClean.



3rd Coat Drying.


Painted the Bonnet Hinges too.

[APL]

Coming back together.



Looks like some ******* satanic bat-mobile ****.

You can see it looks way cleaner with the fuse box hidden. I broke the goddamn outside wiper socket thingy... so ill have to order in. Adam?
