Nytsky's Engine Build


Recommended Posts

im about to replace my water pump (have to do the timing belt so may as well do the water pump to be safe) is there much benefit in using an N1 pump over using a standard?

I didnt see any. Then again i never had any overheating issues.

i dont have any real issues but i have been told that to replace the water pump its the same amount of work as it is to do the timing belt so i figure i may as well do it while im in there.

Just received my BRIDE ERGO. Its like xmas this morning.

The Poncams do not need any adjustment,thats why i did not get adjustable cam gears.

RB26s benefit more from adjustable cam gears.

Dont have much experience with RB25 tuning but i know the Tomei Poncams in my old 26 liked a little adjustment. Especially on the exhaust side :P

I will ask my tuner to spend some time on making some adjustments to it.

I think the affect will be minimal, but hey more power is more power :)

I dont suppose anyone has a BRIDE seat rail they want to get rid of??? :P

I have HKS cams in my RB25 and the exhaust liked a little touch up. I also retained VCT, It was worth retaining I think for midrange but you do get a tiny flat spot as the solenoid opens that we could not really get rid off.

How long till it is ready to rumble?

Pick the motor up this week, the week after ill be putting all the gear on the motor. The week after that ill be getting it towed to my exhaust shop for all of the piping. The week after that ill be getting it towed to the tuners for the start up and the run in tune.

So will be a few weeks yet till we turn the wick up.

My heat wrap arrived this morning. Its called ThermoTech, has anyone heard of this brand? It says it can withstand constant temps of 2000F.

I went with the black as the white gets dirty to easy. 1inch wide by 15m long. Should do my manifold and dump pipe hopefully.

I hear stainless expands more than mild steel when heated. Would it be a good idea not to wrap it as tight as you would normally?

I was planning on trailing the wrap through water as i wrap the manifold so the wrap keeps its shape a bit better.

The black wears/burns/falls off. It just ends up looking dirty anyway. Looks great initially though.

It'll also harden up with heat so just wrap it tight so random bits aren't flaking off with vibration or when you brush against it when doing maintenence.

    • @Butters I can't tell you why but the bigger HKS step 2 cams improved low and mid end immensely. Turbos started spooling about 1k RPM less than before and the idle/vacuum was rock solid, it was an absolute thrill to drive, 3rd gear pulls hit 180kmh where previously only managed 160. Conversely, the milder poncoms in there now have a funky idle making it harder to get off the line, drives poorly in lower revs, laggy and makes less power/torque throughout. Feels better after I swapped the EBC but unless I put it on the Dyno again, I can't say how much better.
    • Hi Sydney kid   do you still selling spring and blistein shocks for Nissan 260rs? Air any suspension upgrades? Please advice     yudy
    • Cams are not needed at this power level, they will create lag. The cam gears are a good idea though.
    • @Murray_Calavera yeah, I guessed as much, cooler temps, more boost, less knock, more timing, hello power. Unfortunately not quite within reach ATM, could upgrade my whole fuel system to support but still wouldn't have E85 to run it 😂  Anyway, I changed cams again, 260/260 poncam B and everything else the same except an EBC upgrade. Now I must say I was quite disappointed with the result as it was like running stock cams (didn't try to dial them in as they're supposed to be optimum already) but after awhile I suspected my new EBC was underperforming not to mention difficult to use. I recently swapped back my old EBC and it drives much better now, boost comes on sooner, more stable, no spikes etc, feels all quicker and faster than with stock cams. Planning to fiddle with the cam gears and see what happens but maybe skip the Dyno as I intend to revert to the HKS cams cos they really made the car come alive; low and mid end was unbelievable and it just wanted to rev to the moon, finally knew what people were raving about, RB26 really loves revs. Anyway, Dyno 03 is quite disappointing, in Dyno 02 although peak power was less and trailed off at the top, the low and mid end improvement more than made up for it.
    • @Darrel It's so tempting to say e85 is borderline magic. It cools the intake charge, so if you're flirting with the edge of the turbos compressor map it helps dramatically cool down the hot air the turbos are pumping. It is very resistant to detonation so you can crank the timing, I don't really want to say you won't be knock limited anymore.... but you probably wont be knock limited anymore lol. I wouldn't be surprised if you made 20% more power swapping to e85 (provided you have the fuel system to support them, bigger injectors maybe bigger pump etc).
