4 rings ha ha ha (done in the voice of the count from Sesame Street)

another great build up thread

top quality work there Dirt!

makes me very jealous, i havnt got my hands properly dirty in a good 8 months

skylinekid, you must have a grin plastered ear to ear, all the best mate

lol maby.... ill get excited wen its on the dyno gettin tuned lol

and wat fancy modifications have been down to ur block anthony... or is it a secret???

he's talking about de-burring (removing the casting seams)...i do it with STD blocks...N1's at this power level if balanced correctly are fine. Its engine harmonics that crack thin fatigued blocks so balancing is very critical...running a proper balancer is more important than de-burring. How many people would just bolt this stroker kit into a block assuming Tomei has got it spot-on...id say a lot...ive proven they are far from it.

yup yup thats what i was talking about..

well put it this way.... i trust paul with building this engine correctly the way he see's fit.... he knows that if the block cracks he will be getting a bad rep... and both me and him know he doesnt want that. for instance look at how fussy hes been with the head. he didnt want it leaving till it was spot on due to the fact of it was his rep that would turn to shit otherwise. but i left it all upto him so it was his choice to do.

new head is down in newcastle about to start gettin the head work done... new valves retainers and springs are in and ready to be installed. am very keen to see a photos of these fancy double springs u speak of paul?

ill take some shots of the good bits and post them up

new 1mm oversize inconnel valves...nice...very nice

titanium retainers...these are so light they almost feel like they are plastic

dual valve springs

Tomei 270 deg 10.8mm cams and Tomei bronze guides are ordered and on their way...combined with a stage 2 port job this is going to be one awesome head.

    • That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.
    • They are daft and there's a reason it never caught on. Steering feel? We don't need no stinking steering feel!
    • I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.
    • Define "starting to fail". Wy not just rebuild them?
    • Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
