Engine Rebuild - Questions...

[Angus Smart]

Sorry, cheaper in general. Eagle, Scat etc.

Eagle, scat, tomei are all made in the same place

[GTRKat]

Awesome thanks for the additions! Where abouts is yours getting built? I'm getting excited now!

I was going to look at the Denso injectors, heard a lot of brands use them and rebadge them.

I've seen Greenline but I think they're pretty slow with shipping. I actually have Slide hooking me up with quite a few parts now

Nismo full gasket kit eh? I am going to go the Tomei one i think.

[TiTAN]

greenline are quick, nengun is the slow one.

[GTRKat]

I believe Greenline are slow, Nengun is frigging awful!! Haha.

It's all pretty timely if you order anything from Japan. Depends if you want cheap or fast!

[GTRKat]

Does anyone know....

What's the difference between a Bosch fuel pump 040 intank and a Bosch fuel pump 044 external and why might you go one as opposed to the other??

[N1GTR]

HP ratings, also the 044 isnt designed to be run in tank

BUT

There are so many people with 044 in tanks that have had zero issues, including 2 gtr's i know of which are thrashed properly, and mine. There will be a tiny bit of tinkering to get it in there and hooked up but its not hard, hell even i figured out how to do it and believe me im not a mechnic

Go the 044

[GTRKat]

Im confused.....

[Gus-]

o44 will pump more fuel = better.

???

[TiTAN]

044 is bigger and pumps more fuel that pretty much sums the whole thing up.

[GTRKat]

It cool, had a bigger discussion on same issue on CC as well. Found out what I need, cheers guys!

[Angus Smart]

I've always found greenline to take atleast a week, and have always been spot on when they tell me when the items are dew in.. also never had a problem with nengun either haha..

I'm getting my motor built in Sydney by Pro form. who does alot of my friends work..

As for denso. i'm sure your correct there in saying alot of people rebadge them.. or with injectors really its just re packaging them.

the Nismo gasket kit is a full motor thing (all the oil seals, valve seals, all other engine gaskets there must be over 50 gaskets in the box, unlike the tomei etc which is just headgasket, intake gaskets, exhaust gaskets.

the only problem is you do not get all metal intake and exhaust gaskets. but you do get a metal head gasket. which i already have so not a problem to me.

i've always found its best to use genuine engine gaskets with rebuilds. had, seen and herd of many motors leaking out the main and other seals after motors installed.. and who wants to be pulling out a motor just after its been put back in... tho obviously head gasket is always choice

as for the fuel pump, your best going an intank setup.

[N1GTR]

Im confused.....

lol sorry, typed that in a rush

Get the 044, mount it in tank, any fittings needed can be sourced from motorsport connections in sydney. Ring them and tell them you're putting an 044 in an r32 and they should know exactly what to sell you

Eagle, scat, tomei are all made in the same place

SCAT are made in the US....ive already debunked this myth that everything is made in China in another thread.

[Angus Smart]

SCAT are made in the US....ive already debunked this myth that everything is made in China in another thread.

They all look identical to me, and on scats website, they say they make crank shafts in the us. but only say they finish, balance and pair up sets of rods in the us..

[GTRKat]

Cheers guys! Appreciate the help!!

[LTSJayce]

Thanks LTSJayce. But I'm sorted

LOL you are more than welcome to come for a ride. I have decided on all the parts it's just a matter of getting them here on time now!

Hi; me again. Maybe I missed your post, but who did you decide on? If you don't want to give away your secrets to the whole world, a PM will be fine!

[GTRKat]

I think it's in there somewhere No secrets. Won't be posting my final figure nor a full parts list so as to avoid unwanted attention but happy to chat to peoples about it elsewhere.

But work wise I've gone with Autotech and Pro Engines.

[GTRKat]

Does anyone know a good brand and place to get a full set of hoses? I'm after pretty blue ones

[N1GTR]
