Really, how do you ensure all the water is out?

I would have thought you use something that mix's with oil, once flushed run some cheap oil through it, drain it and then put the good stuff in.

you just turn the engine on, when it heats up the water dries...duh!!

my neighboor came over earlier and he undid the bolt undeneath and we drained the oil out then i used the hose to flush the oil out and squired in some washing up liquid to clean it out then flushed it again and after a while only clean water came out. now im trying to dry the water so it doesnt rust and im using my mums hairdryer, how long do you think it will take to dry out and what oil should i put in?? thanks i took a photo alsopost-80834-0-85379300-1296008622_thumb.jpg

It's good you have a responsible adult helping you. Scissors can be very dangerous.

As far as oil goes? I'd recommend your mum's Singer Sewing machine oil or Johnson's Baby oil.

:wacko: Good luck with that...

what a joke. do some reading before you touch mechanicals. ie Google if you dont know what the F you are doing.

get 2litres of kerosene and 2litres of methylated spirits, mix together in a bucket, flush the engine with the 4lt mix. Let it drain thru. let it dry for a cple hours.

then buy 5litres of $20 cheap oil and an engine oil flush additive (around $15 from a auto store). pour all this in.

run the engine for 10mins, IDLING only. No foot on accelerator.

then drain again, and fill with good oil, 5litres of Castrol Edge Sport 10/40, or Motul 300v, or Royal Purple, a decent oil worth around $75-$100 for the 5litres.

Dont skimp on the above.

Do as I suggest and you should be ok. Water in the engine is just stupid. Clean it out with kero/metho, then flush with cheap oil/oil flush additive, then replace with new fresh top brand oil.

hi im gonna buy some oil later but im not sure what to get and i dont have much money at the momant should i make sure the car is gonna work ok first before buying oil my neighboor is at work today so cant help me, i need to get this sorted today. thanks

Just tell your brother you dimwit!

it is plausable for someone to be so stupid, I've heard it happening before.

so if your serious, before you eff shit up even more, cut up some car wash sponges into little cubes and put it in the HKS cap part. You need to get all the water out first. then start it without oil and all the foam should come out of the screw hole at the bottom.

Vegetable oil works well, especially if you like the smell of canola

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
