Hi Mate

I would like to share my findings, after i pulled my motor apart last month.

First off i should tell you the specs of the motor.

1. it has a built the block, has arp main studs, N1 oil and water pump, Eagle rods with wisco pistons, Bore 1mm over (87mm bore) ,6boost top mount manifold (t3) ,44 tial waste gate, AMS GT950R turbo, power fc, Custom intake with top mount fuel rail, 100mm tb, FMIC, external fuel pump, External fuel regulator, 800cc Sard injectors, Stock rebuilt head, MLS head gasket, ARP head studs.

After opening up the motor the first thing i noticed was damaged pistons, it looks to be like detanation, But this could be because i used a 86mm MLS head gasket on a bored block. Stock bore size is 86mm and i bored it to 87mm,but used a 86mm bore gasket ,opp's second misstake. Next was the crank collar was the short one, but it was still in good shape, next i had no oil restrictors in the block. Next i never installed a head oil return, and other that running 25psi on pump gas. Thats all i found that was wrong with the car. Well for most part the pistons were really bad and it caused the head to get damaged, cause peace piston ring broke off and hit the head.Plus the head looked like it had small hole in the parts that were in the combustion chamber. so again i think that was detanation.

The biggest thing i feel that cause or even aided the damage was the gasket. A 1mm peace of gasket like a round ring (looks like a piston ring 1mm round) fell in the combustion chamber. I feel this would have aided the detanation process. These small amounts of gasket can cause hot spots causeing preignition or detination. ???????

Well on my new motor (build 2 of them) Has all these things rectified.

If you would like to see the new setup check the link out mate.

its not much, but i do my own work. This is one of the 2 motors that i'm building.

cheers

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
