i phone doesnt do close ups lol.

crank is ok ish... number 2 is the only bearing thats damaged.. number one shows significant wear also. measured it up and number 2 on the crank is only ever so slightly under the minimum tolerance. soooo.. gonna get it reground 10tho undersize and go with the larger acl Race bearings, new mains, new oil pump and then re assy.

pistons, rods, rings, bores all look like they just rolled out of nissan. not sure if i should bother with going forgies. no det marks, no nothing on the pistons.

If you can pull it all out yourself then I would save the $1k for forgies, almost all dead motors are oil problems. Go baffled sump, oil pump, bearings, crank collar (or is this fixed with neo motors?)

If you kill it via pistons then it is almost certainly det related which means tuning and you said this is sweet.

sre they 86.5's? come with rings and pins?

if so how much again?

Click the link in my signature.... comes with everything, new in the box for $1250 yes they are 86.5mm.

Got a crank aswell but doesn't look like you need it.

rods are fatter.

with the piston the crown is hollowed out with two large holes allowing oil to be squired up into them, the rods have a tiny oil hole facing the crown, along with the piston bore squirter. the ring lands are fatter on the neo's and as for weight the neo piston and rod even tho it has more material is slightly lighter then non neo.

Good to see a direct comparison and the photos are great, i am hoping i don't have to see the insides of my engine for quite a while yet :thumbsup:

Since you've done so much damage, why don't you just get another neo from a wrecker and go again. It only died because your oil was on the track. I think a neo with a good sump will last for ages. 90% of rb's die from oil starvation of some description, or a bad tune. Don't see too many die from being pushed too far

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
