Just read 15 pages,

great build cameron, awesome dedication!

any final numbers yet? any more trips round the block? loved reading your description of spool and coilovers after 2.5 years in a magna :blink: keep it up!

Im thinking of getting this notch machined but seems ill have to take out about a 15mm notch height wise :down:

Do you not think this will weakin the piston though.

Im thinkin ill have to go down this route iv come so far want to complete it then i can show the full build

I hear alot about the 4agze piston fitments but know where can i find someone that has done the build just alot of hearsay

:blink:

Hmm 15mm is alot, I would be talking to a good engineer first.

You could always remove the squirters?

The only thing I know about using the 4agze piston is that they sit shy of the desk by 2 - 3 mm, does yours do this?

Nothing so far, Have a 2005 Honda Accord Euro now as I start a new job on Monday. I'll keep this thread updated :down:

  • 3 weeks later...

I've just read everything in this thread to-date & am following it with great anticipation! :) I'd really like to do this build at some stage as well and am really hoping it works out for you - kudos to you sir for taking-on this monumental build on!

I had a few questions if you don't mind?

- Are the specs of the pistons etc on the first page the current/updated ones?

- Was it any bother to fit the N1 oil pumps & water pumps from the RB26 or do they just bolt-up?

- Did you use the RB20 oil squirters for the pistons or the RB25 ones?*

*I'm not sure if there's any difference between the RB20 & 25 ones but I know there's a fundamental design difference between the RB25 & 26 piston cooling methods (spray-pattern on the RB25 pistons VS directional squirting with the RB26 with cooling channels in the pistons) so just wondering if the angle of spray dispersal or volume would be different for the RB20's naturally slimmer bores VS the 25's.

JP,

The specs on the first page are the pistons I have in the engine currently.

As for the squirters they are the standard Rb20det items, The oil pump fitted up fine I changed the gears to some billet items, the only change to the water pump was to weld and redrill the e-longated hole on the water pump as it overhung the block water ways therefore leaks like a little b%$ch.

Thanks for your comments.

Cheers

Cameron

Hi,

By gears I mean I replaced the oil pump internals to billet items;

(1) To reduce the chances of them failing at 9000rpm

(2) They slightly increased the oil pressure without having issues of oil starvation

(3) I was a tight arse at the time and couldn't afford the nitto pump I wanted

Sorry I don't have any pictures of the oil pump internals.

So I was giving the engine a once over when I notised some oil on the timing belt which had been making it slip past the pullies taking the nice blue office the gates belt.

On investigation it appears that the oil pump seal is leaking around the crank.... I have decided to play it safe and pull the oil pump off while the engine and sump are still in the car.

Is this something difficult to do? I had a think about it and I am pretty sure I can pull it off without much effort while replacing the pump with a Nitto alternative.

Any advice will be gladly accepted.

Cheers

Cameron.

Why would I need to remove the sump? the oil pump should slide on and off I would have thought, thou it has been a while since I put the engine together.

lol I could but its leaking from the crank seal so wont help much.

    • 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.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
