hahaha obviously becuase you are intending to catch up with me in the blown engine race :(

kennards have made a business out of hiring stuff for half the price of buying one outright....then it plays with your mind....would I ever need this again or will it just take up space in the shed.....

ummm i dont think i wanna get near you duncan..

havent blown up and engine yet, and dont want to..

i just pull motors out of cars for fun.. :huh:

currently converting lancer to manual cos auto is soooo annoying lol

but yeah, it can be used for heaps of stuff really... not just engines.

Did your dodgy engine-in 'rebuild' go sour? Or did you come to your senses and decide to remove it and do things properly?

it wasnt dodgy you moron. just because i dont need to take a motor out to fix it, it doesnt mean it was a dodgy build.

the problem ended out being the gtr rods i bought werent standard size (big end dia.). that was the only reason it didnt go together properly. so how about you keep little comments like that to yourself till you know what actually happened.. mmk pumpkin.

You tell him .....

Ah well we all learn by our mistakes.

Good luck with it this time, if i was you i'll check the crank for runout as well.

crank is going to have everything done to it, including balancing. the heads going in for a service too.

Good to see you are not taking any risks this time around, make sure your crank guy is someone you can trust to do the job right ( a lot dont ), i always check it myself when i get it back .

Bearing clearances are very important too, make sure you check or have someone check them for you .

Dont rush things , take your time assembling and checking more than once and you will be right this time .

Are you reboring the block ? If i was you i would ..

  • 4 weeks later...

nah i didnt do a re-bore. clearances were fine with the hone and i got good pre-run in compression when i had it on the road before it stuffed up again.

crank and bearings are coming in on monday so it should all be back together before the next weekend (fingers crossed).

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
