Hey fellas,

I've had a C210 coupe for a little while now used to get me to the station and back each day. Over time have began to really really like this car.

Here's my problem, engine is really on it's way out ( only running on 5 cyl atm ) but I want to keep the car and put something a little more realiable up front.

Any suggestions?

Not looking for massive power, would prefer something NA.

Have been thinking RB20DE out of the r32.

Also please let me know if you know of any workshops in Sydney who would be interested in doing the work.

cheers

Hey Kent,

Kind of decided to go with an L28 injected.

V8skylineMAN, helped me out and let me know that the motor would slot straight into the c210 without and mods to mounts at all, so minimal fuss.

Also it only has an ecu for fuel inj, so again setting this up should be minimal fuss.

The engine I want is in Adelaide, so just waiting to confirm shipping and will take it from there.

Thanks for all the help guys, hopefully all will be good with the motor and no trouble to squeeze in.

awesome, glad to hear it!, the L28 is a good strong engine (all L series are strong), and atleast you won't be off the road for too long :)

let us know how it goes, take tonnes of pictures if you can, if you want you can pm me and i can host the pics for you (on project240k.com gallery),

This offer is open to all C10/C110/C210 skyline projects.. just bear with me though, as i want to redo our site, just havn't found the time yet :)

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
