there is a dude, wpnvlt selling what sounds to be a pretty worked up head complete with HKS hi lift cams for $3,200 ono...... there is a thread somewhere

nah for $500 more i can do it our way with parts i prefer to use onthe bare head we have.

thanks anyway

Bottom end assembly pics and details to come soon :P

new head set-up...

1mm oversize inconnel valves

dual valve springs

titanium retainers

Tomei bronze valve guides

Tomei 270 deg 10.8mm camshafts

Tomei 1mm oversize lifter buckets

Red R Racing Stage II head porting and cam lobe clearancing

on a 2.8 litre Tomei bottom end with an N1 block this combo will be awesome

least this way we know it right and we'll never have an issue.... plus this head is done the way that keeps u sleeping at night aswell huh paul lol....

yeah and to think this engine was going to have the final assembly this week....ahh well the bottom end will be ready waiting for the head to be finished.

that list above looks impressive and its something the bottom end really deserves to have bolted to it.

i can sleep now

have given it abit of thought aswell and have decided to rip the gearbox apart and cryo treat the gears and replace bearings all round.... cant hurt to give it a lil bit of strength considering wat it gonna be put through. will be sending the gears down with my spare head to you paul. next week sumtime ill let you know

Edited by skylinekid
this engine is going to make more power then yours paul.

You might need to tune it down a bit :O

My car is supposed to be in QLD this weekend but due to everyone elses cars/engines...i don't have time to finish my own.

Everyone elses car first....unfortunately...mine last :(

Mark at Godzilla is excited about tuning this engine package...might have to put the cams a tooth out so it doesn't make more than mine...lol

One virgin N1 block, bored 40thou and strainer plate honed

honed cylinder...block still has swarf sticking to the outside from the bore job (it was painful to watch a fresh block getting bored)

img0904qt9.jpg

should have used the 86mm bore block in the background and grouted it...would have done the job...ahh well nevermind

img0905ep4.jpg

anyway thats enough of the block...lets see the good bits

look at how far out of balance the Tomei pistons were...balance pads completely removed off 4 of them...two of them had their pins centre drilled to remove enough weight to get them right

img0909pi0.jpg

one fully balanced Tomei 2.8 stroker crank

img0914rf8.jpg

balancer grinds...even brand new stroker cranks are out a little

    • Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.
    • So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?
    • Ooo I might actually come and bring the kids, however will leave the shit box home and take the daily
    • Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!
    • That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
