ok.

Have a block and some forgies to whack in it. want some advice on getting the block prepped for some descent power (and boost)

Acid Dipped Block (clean all oil galleries and cooling jackets)

Bore/Hone

Deck head and block.

Double O Ring (Block and Head)

Copper Head Gasket

Crank ground - nitrided - and reground

Rods Shot peened and knife edged.

All reciprocating mass assembly (crank, rods, Pistons/rings, Flywheel (lightened billet)) Balanced and Blueprinted

New Gaskets all round.

What else is there to do? Planning to run big boost levels and a fairly big rev limit.

let us know.

I have the block, pistons and bottom end ready. ust finding out info on some of the toughening procedures that can be carried out.

thanks boys.

Mitch.

Also explain what it does etc.

Sounds the goods to me, just ensure that you use good rod/stud bolts etc if you are planning some decent rpm and boost. Same goes for bearings that you use.

If you are aiming at high RPM and power it may pay to speak to someone about the need for a better oil pump?

Good luck!

What bearings do people recommend?

Was thinking of just the ACL bearing kit...?

Oil pump eh?

might check it out. Would like to know some details relating to cooling properties with the speed of the coolant/water aswell. I have heard of pumping it too fast, doesn't get enuff time to cool etc.

Dunno.Time for some research me thinks.:(

Why are you going to O ring the block!? Copper head gasket? Jesus - do people still use and recommend such crap?!

Screw the standard rods - throw them in the bin and buy decent rods.

What are you planning to use for pistons?

What do you mean by "big boost"?

What is a "fairly big rev limit"?

How much money do you have to spend on this engine?

      Garrett G Series

      Oof. One of my mates has an R34 GT-R that he initially was a "I want to go twins for response and convenience" on his stock 2.6 with Kelford 272 cams, but his friends are pests and were always in his ear about their place being in the bin.   Eventually one of the 2860-5s decided to add it's own input and force his hand, so he conceded and went for a Pulsar 6262G ("G35 900") with T4 0.85 hotside.    Here's an overlay of the results, same cams, same stock bottom end, same boost, same fuel, just from a pretty tidy 2860-5 install to a Pulsar turbo on a 6boost maniifold on BP98.   Worth mentioning here, it may seem like a dead horse thing but the dyno plot doesn't tell the story of how much better it is to drive - transient response has completely changed the car, he used to have flat foot shifting to stop it having to wind up again on gear changes even at >7000rpm... now it builds boost faster than that even short shifting.   It's 100% transformed the car before you even consider how much better it holds on: Pulsar and Garrett aren't the same, but from our experience if you're just looking for a better drive and the ability to make the same or more power I think the divided G30 770 would probably be the smallest I'd go to.

      Sweet, yeah hoping stock gears will hold up. May use the transbrake feature on hill climb starts so that will test it.

      Been down in Tassie for 2 weeks (a cruise, not a race for once) but spent a little time on her when I got back. I worked out the injector settings in the PowerFC were not correct for nismo 555s, set those to 66% +10ms and added a little air at closed throttle, set the timing (approximately, because it has some weird non 15o cells around idle) and now she starts and idles properly. She purrs like a kitten (ignore the co2 alarm in the background, I did  ) 20250518_171052.mp4 Next step, off for run-in, tuning and alignment!
