electronic drawing board essentially

Would anyone like to share pick-up designs, in particular the external?

I posted some pics of a sump i had done recently but cant remeber where i posted them, so here's some of the actual external pickup

cool! hey so with these fancy uber strong billet main girdles, how does one adjust the endfloat of the crank if they are all tied in with countersunk bolts?

Someone has had there thinking cap on, I wondered how long it would take for that to pop up.

Rob

Im not an engine builder but i have discussed this with one and like adriano says its adjusted via the thrust bearing thickness or width of the cap.

The cradle has zero effect on it other than width/alignment of the middle cap. So it boils down to how good the machinist is.

Does that sound about right to you rob?

read the nisan workshop manual?

yes. if the girdle is perfectly aligned, no probs if the crank is at factory size and not an auto, and every block is differant, a thou here a thou there... i can see this being an issue. unless you supply a full range of NISSAN main bearings.

you could supply instructions on how to use an oil stone if it goes in to tight. but what if it goes in at 5 or 6 thou?

im just saying that there needs to be a way that the girdle can be adjusted.

You only need to "adjust" it to get the upper and lower thrust faces level with each other, not to take up extra clearance by using one thrust face of the upper bearing and the opposite thrust face of the lower. If it has too much clearance you need o/s thrust bearings. If the caps/girdle etc are set up in the right place and countersunk fasteners used it shouldn't be any more of a problem than in many other engines where the caps are doweled to the block, VQ35 for instance.

BTW, to answer a question a page back about the lower bellhousing bolt holes, I have sumps welded up and re-drill the bottom bolt holes. It's a bit fiddly but not a massive problem. I'll take some photos of the next one.

So when the block is line bored you have to also machine the sides of the center cap on the cradle to exactly match the sides of the center main in the block?

The sides are machined to size on the cnc and then the radius' are cut on the line borer.

Ok, so how do you know every block is going to have its center main faces in exactly the same place relative to the outer perimiter rail bolt holes you are using to spigot the cradle?

Would there be more than ~20thou variations between the blocks though? There's 20thou clearance around all the countersunk holes, so there is room to move in that.

How do you go about that? Urs would be similar with the 4 bolt mains ur using.

an exhange program may be a solution?

yeh that's something i'm considering. Provide a bottom end with atleast bearings in and clearances set.

yeah. last thing you need is a bloke 100000kms away slaging your shit after hes paid good money and the f**ker locks up when its all tensioned down..

shane.. so your countersunk holes are oval? what about when its tightened? wont it centre itself being a taper?

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
