Diesel piston. Chamber creates a swirl increasing the dispersion of the fuel through the air. It also controls the flame front alot more. I will try and find a pictures of this s2000 crank that snapped. Think 5" crank nose snapped clean.

that shit is awesome i want to be there when it happens (protected from rouge bits of gearbox though)

man proabably would have been like 11000rpm thats one tough little engine they build though

drove it off a cliff!?! and then was escorted to the movies, all a happy ending cept for the poor civic stuck in the tree i guess..

.

but it is his truck, owner driver.. haha shell be right just put diff oil init to balance the viscocity up... i have heard of an apprentice @ another workshop near us who filled a diff with grease mind u the diffs in the crap we work on are like the size of an engine & take 22l of oil....

i was refering to the guy i work with

Pretty sure its design is refered to as a HERON head

you are correct

Funny looking pistons

Like Beemae30 said it helps swirl & controls the burn better. if u look clseley i kno the pix are crap quality but u can see the pattern ontop of the piston of how it fires from inside, out.... similar to a petrol with hemispherical head but obviously with no spark plug.

had some more eventfull jobs in the last few days lol it must be engine failure season as i have heard lots of other workshops are getting blown engines in a fair bit aswell as us

this boys and girls is when happens when a 4l 4cyl diesel which is limited to 2800rpm runs off oil & revs to about 6000rpm.... BANG

the two missing vavles were stuck in the piston, managed to get one out but other one is sorta disintigrated haha

post-76142-0-75463500-1316683960_thumb.jpg

this is the cyl that destroyed the above valves if u look closely u can see the one valve head i managed to get out..

in these two pics u can see where the valves have made contact with the piston but not quite enough to smash them although they are very bent.. almost looks like they are ment to be there but trust me they are not haha

next 2 are another engine 9 (one a 5 litre 4 cyl diesel) that come in on a hook, customer says the oil light came on and then the motor locked up... when we drained the sump we got bout 200ml of oil out of it, still a mystery where it went.....

thing that amazed me the most bout this enigne is that there is absolutely no sign of any oil in the cylinder/on the piston, the metal is super clean but just all broken up obviously from the force of the crank trying to push it up the bore as it grabbed the liner

post-76142-0-36490300-1316684004_thumb.jpg

this one one is just a pic of that spray pattern i spoke about in another post.. pretty interesting to see the spray pattern of the injector & how the cobustion takes place in this stye of enging (one again heron type piston) i dont kno why it is so dry obviously from no oil but there is not much signs of new fuel either so i think it maybe had a leaning out problem as well which could have helped cause its destruction...

post-76142-0-62045900-1316684911_thumb.jpg

last one is just a Bloody AWESOME effort for stance made bout one of our good ol' portable oil pumps... is pretty mexican but has MAD camber haha, just needs some flares and "Moar" low with some tuck

Hope you enjoy my friends... nyaanyaa.gif

also thought id post up a pic of my toolbox working on my mrs car... i think at that time it was installing her sound system... either that or it was sixing a wiring issue which kept causing the intrument lights fuse to blow...

thing is a 1985 corona rt142... Sooooo much fun to work on & drive, very slow but just a comfly cruiser... trying to convince my mrs to get some coils & then some stance going... although this is not going too well lol...

will be painting it black soon i might post some pics & stuff i kno its not a skyline or even a nissan but its still fun

does it have the 22RE in it?

it does have a 22re in it... and a little exhaust sounds cute for a girls car haha

has some cool wheels on it too has watanabes on the back 15 x 7 +0 & SSR 2 piece meshies on the front 15 x 7 + 13... just needs more Lowwwwww...

Edited by PaulosECR33

this thread delivers. :cheers:

hope its alright lol just figured it was a waste to not show ppl how real this stuff is & how common.... & maybe be able to teach someone something new & also learn new stuff myself

i heard there is something coming in next week so will see then & if its worthy ill post pics lol

enjoy . . .they are a good car and good engine to work on. . .( similar in some ways to a RB30E) i rebuilt the 22re in my (now) ex wifes car,ran it on BP100,advanced the base ignition timing, threw on a set of extractors and it was right for another 200,000ks :thumbsup: a nimble and economical car

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
