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.

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
