Hey guys we have recently built a new engine for my drifter and we are having issues with the engine being very lazy, i'll list the details of the engine then I'll go into more detail about it's performance.

RB25 Block with 26 crank, rods and 0.5 mm oversized pistons, all factory nissan parts

Rb 25 Tomei poncams inlet and exhaust

Greddy plenum

750cc injectors

splitfire coils

6boost manifold with 3540 and 44mm tial gate

Power FC

With the new engine it makes 340Kw at the wheels on 20psi, though it doesnt feel like it, the old completely stock internaled had only 300kw at the wheels on the same boost but it felt crazy compared to the new one. The stock motor made 300kw by 4000 rpm and held it all the way to 8300, where as the new engine acts really strangely, it is making 15psi by 4000rpm but doesnt actually make any power till 5000 at the earliest.

We are thinking it might be a mismatch in the 25 cams to the extra capacity of the 26, we are going to try putting adjustable cams in it over the next few weeks, but other than that i have no idea how to fix the laziness of the engine.

The other issue we are having is after the car has been driven and is up to track temperature the lifters start to play up, they rattle really loudly and the engine starts to miss badly, we've put a 1.2mm restrictors into the oil feeds, could this be too much, the lifters never made any noise in the old engine.

Any help will be greatly appreciated cause it is well and truely doing my head in.

3540 has a .82 housing,

original engine made an almost flat power curve from around 4500 to the rev limit, so it probly made around the 280kw mark at 4000rpm, i dont have a copy of the dyno sheet, i might ring Rob at Creatd and get a copy for you. It was very savage power. But very fun.

364hp at 4000RPM ?

is this wheel horsepower ?

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
