Hi when assembling the connecting rods which way would the bearing locks be placed to the exhaust side or the intake side.??? I cant remember as its the only thing I forgot to mark on the rip down of the motor.

Is that looking at it from the from right side up. Cause its on the engine stand right now, but I can spin the motor so im assuming front right side up.

Please can anyone conform this.

Ok I looked at a video of an rb build in japan. The bearing locks need to be on the oil filter side period.

It is good practice to put things back the way they came out I would guess. Because parts are build which that in mind.

To make sure im right ill look at an rb20 I have with the oil pan off and confirm.

Bearing locks on the oil filter side.

I have people questioning my abilities to assemble a rod to a piston. But I am not percect. So I ask knowing I might be wrong.

So in saying that I can either assemble a connecting rod 2 ways. Having the bearing locks facing the oil filter side or the exhaust side.

So if I got a con rod that has manley brand name facing one side of the h beam. I can have some facing backwards to the flywheel side and some facing the crank pulley side. I like to keep things all the same as removed. So as simple as this question may be I challange anyone to bring the solution to this simple issue to light.

Thanks

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
