Hey guys, a mate and I are starting a rebuild on his 33. Last engine threw a rod via big end fail, 3 holes in the block and a severely damaged block drifting at QR. M

Want some thoughts on this package, main goals are 300+ kW, it will be a drift/ street car but more drift, he does like to rev it quite hard.

Specs now:

3076 turbs

Wold 3d V500

540 injectors

Front mount

Stainless manifold

Full 3 in exhaust

Split fire coils

Fuel pressure reg, surge tank

Rebuild part list so far ( please give comments and thoughts, nothing is bought yet)

All ports matched to gaskets

N1 pump

New water pump

ARP main and head studs

Cometic gaskets

Cp pistons

Eagle or Manley rods

Tomei Poncams 256

Adj ex gear

Baffled, and larger sump

Oil cooler

All ports will be gasket matched, oil return line and ports enlarged/ cleaned up. Crank balanced, all pistons & rod will be balanced. Block needs to be bored and honed, still unsure about wether it needs to be decked. Any othe suggestions?

Cheers

Why wouldn't you deck it? It would be at a machinist anyway, and hardly costs anythings to do.

The port matching to gasket is pretty much pointless, typically the gaskets are a reasonable amount larger than the ports, so you would just be doing this

___/\____ (gasket goes between slashes, makes more sense in my head than on the screen)

Hacking shit up and making it worse with a die grinder is easy, improving the flow characteristics of a port is really hard.

If you are fitting an N1 pump and like to sit on the limiter read at least the last third of this thread:

Stay with stock pump or if you want just upgrade the gears in them, Im personally still using stock engine stock oil pump with 350kw last 3 years in my drift car and no problems so they can take the abuse.

Will only deck the block if it needs it, can't see a reason to just deck it. More with the gasket porting is Exh, oil, water. The rb25 heads flow more then enough for what we require. However one of the engine builders recommend it so that's why I was asking here.

Stock pump was trashed and picked up a new n1 for almost free, still looking at changing gears in them. Definitely fitting a crank collar.

Yeah have spent the last couple of days reading that and plan to do sump vent, restrictors and possibly look at .cam cover baffles

Yeah we were thinking of just staying stock, everyone says they are fine at that power but then this is also just ticking the boxes for later, we aren't really doing much headwork yet. That might come later, most probably will.

internal or external gated?

are you planning to stay with 540cc injectors? seems small

Still tossing up going e85 so that will mean complete fuel system change. Also fairly happy to keep 540's in for the run in phase and if it becomes a problem upgrade then. Injectors aren't to bad to change after the fact, it's more bottom end we are focused on ATM.

Internally gated ATM, not sure weather it's worth changing to externally gated, have to do more research.

I'm getting 314AWKW at less than 90% duty on 98 petrol from my 550 Deatschwerks so you should be fine for now.

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
