John Hill of JHH Engineering

Another one for JHH.

Just you need to listen to what he says. Dont go in half cocked that you want this and this. Say what you want to get out of the car, answer his questions, and you should have a VERY nice engine.

  • 2 years later...

thought id bring up an old topic. can someone suggest a engine builder/balancer that will do exactly what u ask. unlike the moron i used that did half the job his way and then refused to finish it (and charged double the verbal quote).

the same 2 recommendations as were previously on here

Chilton Engineering or JHH if your after engineering (boring/honing/balancing).

If you need a builder/mechanical god, check out Dan @ Elite Racing Developments (http://www.erd.com.au)

there is one that has been recommended that i would not use, will not mention but has been lissted a few times.

i had my machining done there, and i had to get another shop to do a quick job on my crank and they found the crank had 8thou

run out, the crank was full of metal and had not been cleaned, my block had marks in the bores from the hone being dragged out

and 2 welsh plugs missing from the oil gallerys. the big ends on my rods were not true. all up i had to sepnd another $1200 to fix everything

I do highly recommend John Wilson Engineering at southport. hell my rb20 revs to 9k and makes just over 400rwhp. cant complain

$4K for pull down, machining, full head service including guides, blueprinting and assembly. Any cheaper and id be questioning the quality.

is this for a standard rebuild, or using stronger internals?

i realise "how much for a rebuild" is like asking how long is a piece of string, but just curious roughly what parts are used

no parts...parts are extra on top of this

the above price includes the assembly to be fully balanced.

ANOTHER ONE FOR JOHN HILL AT JHH. He built my 25/30 and did all the headwork on my 26/30.

Now if only I could find the number lol.....

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
