gday guys, just curious as to what type of standard parts you are using in ya car if it is making big power. say 300rwkws+

things like standard pistons, rods, rings, water pump, oil pump, cams etc.

cheers james

well my car was running 12psi 55oc inj's, and exhaust making around 200 awkws. including a oil restrictor and newer oil pump.

when it died that is.

this is all good to hear, i have had my rb26 rebuild with eagle rods and acl pistons and rings but using a new standard r32 oil pump(early) and was looking at bigish kinda power. say 350awaks

Rebuilding your engine for that kind of power and not upgrading your oil pump/oil pump drive is crazy and now leaves your new engine with a serious weak point

Agreed, adding to that water pump, tensioners etc etc

the engine has the lot exept the new oil pump, well it does have a new pump. just an OEM one. i was running out of fund with the rebuild rather quickly so an oil pump like a nismo, trust, jun etc was out of the question.

wasnt too keen on the n1 as i have heard about 50% of them that are installed seem to fail, (i have heard this not saying its the truth or they are bad or what every). which actually turned me off the path of using one. so rather than wasting the cash having everything prep'd for an n1 oil pump and it failing the standard pump was decided. as im not looking at increasing the rev's over 7500. it was always out of the question in my mind to increase it that far.

eventually if i decide on going big power. ie 400+kws at the wheels i will have to budget to replace my oil pump with a decent name one. and i guess then i will need my crank collared as well. so im guessing another engine out job. so 5k for the lot this time?

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
