dam, thats one shiny clean 6a13.. whats the plan with the turbos? i see they are not quite the stock item.. do you have anyomre pictures?

[thfelipeth]

i also think at this stage you should take some good pics of the engine.. i can never find any decent picture of the 6a13.. but if you type rb26 you get alot of good pics.. show it off abit lol

[chchthomo]

photo doesnt do real justice to this rebuild, a live look shows the time and effort that has been put into it, be in next week see the finished article. lol

[chchthomo]

[OnBoost!]

Well you asked for it so here it goes =)

I dident take any pictures before I started. I think this as about the right order =)



Everything has being striped down cleaned, all seals have being replaced, while keeping everything in spec.
Block has being honed with a deck plane, heads have had a clean and plane with valve stem seals replaced with a valve grind.
Oil pump was striped and repacked with grease.
Crank shaft was thrown on a lathe with a balance.
All new bearing journals with new thrust bearings....etc

I am chasing between 400-500 HP with this build (80hp per cylinder) should be obtainable =)

Thanks Tom =)

Yeah it will be fun to see if they both fit. I wont be having all the plastic pipe work in there for a starter and with a manual I think there a bit more room. If it fails I will just go to big single

is this a street car or track car or drag car? only ask as if its a drag car you should be going single turbo from square one!... if its a street or track car i can understand the need for the smaller twin setup...

i cant wait to watch this beast running...(its a 7G, aye?) it would be interesting to see how it does down the 1/4mile compared to my car with my P.B. at 12.607 (TD05HR, EVO4) with the extra 500cc on hand it should do well with abit of practice. either way, like i said.. i cant wait to watch this running!

I would of gone for a 4g63 to drag =)

A bit slow going at the moment sorting out the head casket...

Started the rear bank manifolds today.

[Oggie]

if you dont mid me askign what is the rebuild costing you? not including turbo's

[Fully]

With turbos I am sitting around the $10k mark. I have a heap of stuff still packed away.
Still need another $1000 for wastegates, flanges, oil lines...etc.

I am am glad the labour is cheap

Thought I would give you an update at were I am, Thanks to Tom (chchthomo) for the parts.

Next is turbos, coolant housing and coil on plug setup =)
