hey lads.

im nearing the end of purchasing for my 26 build.. not 100% on how the valve train works and what is actually in there

so far i have got

tomie

cams

guides and

valve lifters

and apexi

springs and retainer

obviously still need valves but not sure on what else

any advise on what else is needed and if new from nissan would work or aftermarket is needed would be swell,

BTW dont have a power goal as such, just going to run a GT3582R at 25 pound, with the .8 rear

thanks

Dan

stem seals and if you have to spend the cash cam cap studs.

What is wrong with the current head - ie what needs replacing?

A GT35 running 25psi won't even stress a factory head in good condition, so don't get too excited spending money everywhere as you won't see any benefit.

yeh went pro cams. 270 10.8

the reason i want to do the hole head is cos i got the motor with a loud noise and unknown history.. turned out the bottom end was fine no spun bearing or any thing like that, so thats been fully rebuilt and dont want to take any risks with the head so start from scratch there aswell..

i have read enough to no that i didnt need to go all out with the head but dont want to risk it, might as well do it right the first time

If you do go the 1mm valves, make sur eu get the head ported by someone who has alot of experience and results, or u could go backwards.

Oversize valves sure makes it a hell of a lot easier to pick the seat up after fitting new guides...especially if the head has done a few miles and/or its been reco'd before...also makes the port job more effective and allows a nicer bowl shape.

looks like arp has bulk fasteners on page 79, which are rated at 180ksi tensile strength. Looks like grade 12.9 fasteners are rated to 1220mpa or 177ksi tensile, so about the same as the arp stuff.

tomei lists their studs as SCM435 material. see if you can find the tensile strength of it, as I gotta run, and then compare.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • 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?
