YOU f**kING BEAUTY!!!

The silvia runs!! Called up Decs from Garage 7, he's like ya gotta change these wires and it'll work. Made said changes, turned the key and sure enough that sweet, sweet RB sound filled the air...

... as well as the not so sweet sound of the loose harmonic balancer raping the timing belt cover something fierce :D

Oh well, it runs and that's a fking win in my book - now for some celebratory beers!! :(

Skids when the harmonic balancer and snapped stud in turbo is fixed :banana:

yoooouuuu motherfkr

i gotta save some more dough before i take my car to decs...

so it ran all good besides the said?

i was a little hesitant to pass on an engine that i never heard/seen running but im glad its all good.

ohhhhh, i have a white rb20 31 up the road from me, how convenient he just rumbled past :banana:

*sob*

oi Craig, whoever had this engine before you was a fuckin dumbcunt aye :(

They tried to take the harmonic balancer off or some shit, snapped 2 of the bolts and just left it. The cunt fkin wobbles all over the shop, theres a good 10mm of play. Not to mention some of the other dodgy shit we found along the way :D

Meh, we got the engine in, got it running and shit so I'm happy with me and my mates efforts, some other bastard can fix this harmonic balancer shit.

lol the bloke must've been lost as hey, some of the shit we looked at and was like 'wtf has this dude tried to do here?' :D

:(

Anyway, the shit runs, and it fires up better than it ever has thanks to me wiring up the right shit now, so fk it gonna pay someone else to do the balancer and turbo stud - cbf with that shit.

    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
