Ordered some parts from just jap and a one piece flywheel from extreme.

Namely, nismo engine and transmission mounts, thermostat, silicone water pipes and radiator pipes, fuel filter, braided clutch line.

ACL main and bigend bearings were measured up, fitted and torqued. Stock pistons and rods remain.

Exhaust mainifolds, turbine housings and stock stainless dumps were sent into Craved coatings for ceramicoating.

Bottom end is a little cleaner now!

Just waiting for the parts to come now........ ;)

Thanks Ben and nice to meet you!

Got my hot side bits back from Craved coatings today and they look very nice!

Then started to reassemble some bits tonight onto the new turbo's after cleaning.

Hopefully my other parts will arrive tomorrow!

looks heaps better than the rusty bits you dropped off Sean :D

if you are over my way this week, bring one of those covers with you, want to try and work on a colour match for the r34 red

got on thats gonna be close but its a metallic

painting the turbo compressor covers and heat shields to match?

Nah. Factory lookish is about it! Still gotta decide what I'm going to do to the cam covers. They do need a touch up.

This week was just preping the engine bay for painting as the paint that was applied in the past can be scratched off with a fingernail lolz.

So while the engine is out, it's the perfect time to fix up the shite paint job.

Half arsed job my buddy painter said when he looked at it. So hopefully tomorrow some nice white polyurethane paint will be applied on the lhs and rhs towers and front radiator support.

All degreased and sanded ready for masking sheets, primer and paint.

I'll try to bring one in Chris. Cheers.

Thanks:) Don't call em wallet stealers for nothing!

Last 26 I built, did the head oil restrictor, enlarged oil returns at the back of head and oil return holes, mines head baffles.

Wasn't enough, especially for track work, and due to ring gap being a little big, more blowby than normal which meant oil being forced to stay in head/get pumped into catch can instead of draining to sump.

This time, I have only added a tomei sump baffle, rest of engine is completely stock, save for ACL bearings. I have read the oil control thread too :P and chose not to do certain things.

And yes, head drain kit is on the way!

Still have to get a decent baffled catch can too.

Get a set of the mine's cam cover baffles. They work excellent. I haven't seen any blow by out of the vents on my new motor, during run in or on final tune.

  • 2 weeks later...

Had the mines baffles in the R32 when I built that. They do help, great for street, but at track days, lap after lap at high RPM I managed to fill the catch can and some of the inlet piping with oil.

Put the engine back in and fitted gbox this weekend. Only the radiator hoses, wheels under tray and the rest to go!

This piece broke when the twin turbo pipe was fitted! It wasn't even done up tight, and it looked like a casting issue? Broke the top corner right through.

So have to get another one this week.

Eng bay is all done now and car is back on the road.

Front disks were machined because of a slight shudder under braking but now they shudder and shake like a mofo under braking.

They were removed from the disk hat to be machined when they should of been given a skim on the lathe, so the disks will have to be removed again.

Engine runs fine and turbos spool very nicely, still pretty responsive but will need a tune to suit the -9's.

The exhaust is louder due to the exhaust housings being larger so sounds nice :)

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
