SOrry to hear...

If I were you I would do one of two things:

1. Build another forged motor - DO IT ONCE DO IT PROPERLY! I would consider buying a bottom end from RIPS

2. Get another OEM RB30E and leave the bottom end. Depending on your turbo and power target it may be more than adequate if you tune safely.

I'd be getting them crack tested before using them...otherwise I wouldnt risk it!

Also, I thought we were talking RB30 for some reason in my earlier post (too early in the morning!). So RIPS probably wouldn't be my first option for RB25.

On the otherhand, you could go RB30... :whistling:

Yeah wouldn't be using the crank,

The engine builder is blaming it on the old owner for f**king it, etc giving it a hard time when not tune etc, but I think it's got to do with the engine builder and pistons hitting the squiters

I hope you took lots of photos before you slid those pistons out

I wish I did, but the car is at the shop with the guy that build the motor he was there when found the squiters broken and he said that there was 2mm to 3mm before anything would of hit the squiters and the pistons already came cut out to accommodate the squiters...

As you said I believe the only way squiters could of broke is not enough clearance, but as the engine builder he would be trying to put it on to the other bloke coz he wouldn't wanna folk out money to rebuild the motor... f**king shit

I will have a close look, is this the only way they could break? Think engine builder is trying to say its from too much oil pressure or low oil pressure?

Then he is wrong.

Yes that is the only way they can break other than putting them in incorrectly. If you don't line up the little locator lug they will snap across the banjo part. If the piston hits it, it will snap the stem off and leave the banjo part in tact.

I prob have spares if you need some but I'm guessing you'll need more than just that to get this up and going again

Also....I would be more than happy to inspect any high res photos you can take if you want some advise. I've seen a lot of this stuff before so I can lend my experience if you need it.

I don't have much spare time but if I can help you out I will

Yes that would be great mate, thanks heaps I can already see the engine builder will not say its his f**k up as I'm sure he wouldn't wanna pay for a customers engine to get rebuilt, the squiters are broken clean off from where the bolt is there is only 1 squiter in tack out of the 6

Yeah think so, gonna pull the crank out on Saturday,

#6 rod got really hot it's like a purplely colour where the cap goes over the crank with the bearings and the bearings were f**ked and # bearing was stuck to the crank had to use alot of force to get the bearing out,

With pistons and rods out, engine builder said should be able to turn the crank by the flywheel bolts with ease (two fingers) as when he put it all together with pistons and rods and said he could spin it easey but nope gotta use some force, (big end bearings stuff too)

Has the crank fouled against the oil pump?

Update if anyone is keen,

Yes the crank was fouled against the oil pump it also fouled against the block and girdle, so block and girdle are stuffed, also all bearings, mains and rods are scored and not useable the rods are not useable, oil pump hasn't gave way!!

What I can gather is, n1 oil pump as higher flow then stock and with no oil restrictors, larger sump or head drain while sitting on the limiter has left the bottom end empty and has caused all this damage,

As for the oil jets, there is no marks on the under skirts of the pistons to say the pistons hit it

This is completely incorrect.

The N1 oil pump doesn't flow that much and thrust bearing wear isn't caused by oil starvation. The main bearings die long before the thrust side wears out

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
