hahha pedals yeah, and all the other stuff i wanted to do, grrrr, but ay s&*t happens as they say,

yeah be good to see there work, hmmm gonna see if i can make some more money somehow over web ill look at upping my kilowatts expectations

this sucks dude, i would go rebuild also, i have been through too many dud engines that i could have rebuilt and go more power and peace of mind (well more so then a second hand engine)

Nurse it around or use buses while you save your pennies for a rebuild, i may be looking at something similar shortly but not sure yet, ive been down the whole modifiying road and it wasnt as fun as i thought it would be.

yeah im saving the penies, not going to drive much so not gonna spend to big on fuel, tax back will help and selling my car back home, hopefully the start of the year while im on a training ex i can get it underway, ill have to have a chat with the skyline performance guys and see how it would pan out

would i require a dyno yune after this ?? and also if i get those parts, with a bigger turbo i could up the boost ???

  • 2 weeks later...

if going path of rebuild what other items besides whats below should i considure, i dont wanna open it up again, im looking at long term 400rwkw mark, going to do it all in in little parts at a time, so far engine rebuild would contain.

CP Pistons

Eagle Rods

Tomei Heads Gasket

ARP Head studs

New oil pump, new water pump, new bearings, possibly new main studs., new head studs, complete gasket kit, change the cams, possibly a solid lifter conversion. and other bits and pieces. 400rwkw isn't cheap.

Will also need to upgrade clutch, possibly gearbox internals, diff.

And there is probably more i haven't remembered.

yeah your right there, i think it would be more appropriate if i aim at the strong and safe 280 mark. i should be able to get that off a gtrs as well, and use the stock planum, would considure cut and plug for a forward facing planum cut some piping out to increase response.hmmmm so many options.

have already got

new

**oil pump,

**new water pump,

**upgraded clutch

whats the difference between main and head studs

what are you reffering to with regard to these pieces

**new bearings,

**a solid lifter conversion

You will need new big end bearings and new bearings for the crank. If you wanted to run ~400kw you would probably run some decently high lift cams and you need to get rid of the factory hydraulic lifters and get a solid lifter conversion to do that (tomei make them).

+ associated machining and assembly costs.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
