i couldnt quite tell you... could possibly be nylon which some series 2 rb25dets have..

the back side is ceramic as you probably know.

try to find out 4 you..

[The Witzl]

it is made of p00, obviously.

[Cobzzz]

too right Karl

this is why no more than 12 psi stock... even that sometimes is pushing it...

[Steve M]

I reckon I'll be changing that compressor wheel!
I don't mind so much if part of the turbo (ceramic turbine) flies out the exhaust, but I think having it go into the engine would be not-so-good.

[The Witzl]

you could just use a better turbo?

[Steve M]

Yeah, I found a buyer for it and for the steam pipe manifold to suit it.
He's a well respected tuner and 18RG owner is checking out the specs some of the Garret range for me.
Seeing as the engine won't be doing heaps of revs, most likely a T28, he's checking turbine/housings that are available as that engine is a bit of an odd combination.
Start boost around 2000RPM, 1 bar boost around 3000RPM and hold to redline sounds ok to me, what do you reckon?

Ok, just an update on the 2.4 litre build. Some previous details weren't quite on the money so hopefully this should clear up exactly what was done

The 22R crank has no offset grinding. As the 22R rods are narrower than the 18R rods (along the crank axis), the big-end journals were all opened out (made wider along the crank axis) a little. The 18R rods were side ground. We settled somewhere between the 22R and 18R rod widths where we took the minimum amount of material from the crank throw while still being able to move the rods 2 & 3 outward (toward the ends of the crank) in order to clear the centre web of the 18R block. The small-end of rods 2 & 3 sits about 1mm offset toward the centre web, once again, to avoid taking too much meat from the crank.


Hope that helps

[JustenGT8]

OK update...i have pics of the 18RGT exhaust manifold, should be here tomorrow morning, stay tuned.

[JustenGT8]

As promised

[JustenGT8]

and two more

[The Witzl]

Looks nice Justen.... you should be able to flog off a few of those
... if not here, then Ebay motors


All this talkl of 18R-G turbos makes me want to hurry the fudge up and bolt some turbo bits onto my engine now!!

[ace]

Justen,
What turbo flange are they made to suit?
Are you making more than one? If so how much would you be selling them for?
ace

[JustenGT8]

That is a twin entry T3 flange but the idea was the manifold would be suitable for the more common T25 flange and an internal gate turbo as well.

I'll have pics of the setup on the car by Mon so you will be able to see how much room this setup leaves you with.

Price is around the $500 mark....really depends how many get made at once as i can bulk order bits. Internally gated manifolds would be the cheaper of the 2 obviously.

I have already sold all of the 1st lot of flanges that were made.
