The B33st Buildup - HKS 3037s.

[Al]

Nice!

Got similiar parts installed on my car already except turbo is a Garrett GT35 and boost controller is HKS EVC 3.

Do the internals first before it blows and save youself alot of labour costs from getting everything installed and then removed to get the internals done later.

Have YOU done your internals?

[INASNT]

Have YOU done your internals?

You know the answer to that is NO

I never intended to do internals, only if it blew, but i dont drive like a full sick kunt all the time so my internals have a good chance of living a long life!!

[R31Nismoid]

and youve got a GT35 inasnt?

dont make me laugh. You aint got a GT35 and you know it.

b33st - you can use RB26 rods, $400 and prepping.

I've got em in mine, and a lot of people do it as 26 rods are pretty decent for the buying price

GT30 Actually, i was flying over perth when i typed that

[B33st]

Ok i've decided to be a little more patient and wait till i got the cash and do internals properly at the same time. Looking at forged rods (crower), Pistons (venolia) looking for people opinions on this. Also What rings, bearings, headgaskets (brands, thinknesses) are people using. Crank i am just looking at balancing and probably nitrating.

Plan is to buy parts then get someone to bolt the engine together for me.

[Gradenko]

Why wait? Just bolt that stuff on and go for it. If it blows at least you had fun until it happened . I can't think of anything more boring to drive than a near stock 25t...

[knore]

Were you on the freeway coming back from the coast on sat nite?

I was next to another 33 and asked what turbo, he said 3037

ran pretty quick, but im assuming hes on low boost or tune cos i was staying with him

[B33st]

nope, my turbo kit's still sitting next to me on the floor here.

[B33st]

OK i've held off a little but and gone the whole hog. Going to it properly and all at once, internals and all. Have perchased venolia 20 thou over pistons and am now about to purchase a set of rods.

i have priced up the following.

Crower $2100

Argo $2300

Par $1800

I personally am leaning towards the par one's as the price is good. Any one used these or have an opinion on them.?

[R31Nismoid]

A set fo GTR rods is going to cost you no more than $600 and will do everything you need if yuor using a 3037

[B33st]

Starting to get somewhere now. After 2 years of buying bits and pieces work has actually started on the car. Just finished lifting the engine out now. Was going the spend the day stripping it down but had no bolts long enough to attach it to the engine stand.

[B33st]

Got her on the stand and stripped down today. Bores look perfect!

I am away on holidays next week for a few weeks then it's time to get some machine work done. Will probably get the head sorted first, just a mild port new and some stiffer springs. Not too sure if i will do the valves too.

[B33st]

Engine is at the Machine shop now.

Head is getting ported, tomei springs and cams

block getting bored, honed and o-ringed.

Everything is to be balanced (standard crank, Argo Rods, Venolia pistons),

using ARP Head stud kit and standard thickness copper head gasket and ACL Bearings.

[INASNT]

So what is the aim of putting on twin 3037's???

[Cubes]

I would avoid copper head gaskets.

Pick your self up a multi-layer head gasket. Either import one from nengun or grab a cometic one.

OR.. O-ring the block and use a stock headgasket.

[B33st]

its just a single 3037, where'd you get idea that there were two?

Block is getting o-ringed, what's wrong with the copper gaskets?

[R32-GTS]

I too would stay away from copper head gasket on a rb motor. I got my block o-ringed and used a hks gasket.

The B33st Buildup - HKS 3037s

I was thinking 3037s meaning 2 x 3037's.

Now i realise its a 3037S

Twin 3037's would be preety hardcore

[B33st]

A single 3037s is hardcore enough for me.

[B33st]

Time for another update.

My Engine is now completed and will be picking it up from the engine builder some time this week if i can find the time.

I ended up shelving my Venolia pistons as didn't want to run the clearances that they specified and also wanted to drop the comp at little, CP pistons have gone in in their place.

Also didnt go with the copper gasket just a cometic MLS.

Heads ported, new tomei cams and springs, new guides also but reused the standard valves.

I can't belive this is taking so long but at least it is progressing. I just hope i'm back on the road by christmas.
