the two ecu's we mentioned shit all over the PFC dejetro in terms of features and performance.

where you from mate?

as long as there not super expensive ill look into it mate as this is just a secondary project haha, im from victoria

find the tuner you are going to use, and ask them what they recommend.

some tuners prefer one ecu to the other.

best to get what they know for better tuning results.

im personally running a haltech platinum pro plug in.

wouldnt go anything else.

I'm not sure about ACL rings but its well known ACL race bearings are a good staple item for building a Nissan.

Personally if the motor is getting rings just spend the money on a set of pistons.. The added compression will make it nicer to drive on the road.

is there any piston options besides forged?? thanks for all the input guys i really appreciate it, i just really wanna do this thing right and get it going reliably

most manufacturers offer non forged pistons for those that just want a standard rebuild.

although, if youre going to the trouble, why not go forged?

if built right, they may have a slight bit more noise when cold, then be fine when warm.

and if/when you mod, theyre already there, to take the punishment.

i understand forged is better but at this stage i just wanna get it going i will build another bottem end and head combo over time, id rather spend the extra cash on a decent computer turbo and fuel system

if you just want it going, id try, and I emphasis try, to find a decent 2nd hand bottom end.

or complete motor.

just a thought.

That was my initial plan too with my RB30 build. Picked up a short block that was advertised to be in great condition. Ran a compression test on it, checked oil pressures everything came out great. Put a 3k rev limit on the ECU and broke it in for 1000 kms. Strapped it on a dyno, pushed it to 5k rpm and the bearings took a dump and jammed the engine. Had to be towed off the dyno back to the shop. After almost 3 months building and anticipation, it just plain sucked. Really don't wish it upon anyone.

We had to take everything apart and redo the whole thing again. Would've been a lot cheaper (and faster) for me to do it right from the beginning and go with Forgies, Race Bearings and a Billet Oil Pump.. lesson learnt for sure. I know many of course that just slapped a stock one and had zero issues.

i cant quite figure out how u guys can be so against throwing a set of decent bearings and new rings, wont starting off with a fresh engine be better than slapping together an engine that i know has excess blowby i just dont get it

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
