The time has come to rebuild.

I currently am trying to gather data on what i will need to support the stupid amounts of boost i want to put thru the new motor.

i currently have r34n1's - gt2860-?? but they have been high flowed to accommodate a 5mm larger front wheel so are a bit larger than normal spec.

i want to pump atleast 2bar thru them, currently they were pumping about 1.4-1.5bar

what bottom end am i going to need to cop the abuse? this rebuild will probably take up most of this year. and will be doing as much myself as i can.

and other parts required for rebuild purposes?

i'd probably want to spend around 8k on the motor..

cheers

Is it a stock motor currently?

from what i know, 33n1 pistons, n1 oil pump, cams and the rest is a bit unknown untill i pull it down.

i'd probably want to go with another oil pump to jun etc. and hope that there are baffles etc in the motor already.

i'm thinking of doing rods, pistons, oil pump, head and might modifiy the sump at my friends work to hold some moar oil.

Well ive just been down that path so lets see, maybe these numbers can help you out?!

Pistons (CP) $1200

Rods (if you go eagle and stay 2.6L) $700

Jun pump $1300 from CRD or $200 less if you know the right person

Baffles - depends on what you get. The trust sump extension is a good price for what you get, $450 delivered (nengun)

Head - $1500

It ads up fast doesnt it

      Ball bearing turbos

      The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.

      Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist

      There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/

      Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.

      Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
