I have driven my s13 with a rb26dett conversion for a while now and the compression has started to go down due to high pressure from the garret gt35/40.

At this time writing, I am planning a rebuild so I can use the full potensial of the turbo and possibly make 680-700 flywheel hp.

It would have been great if you could help me with the engine spec.

My plans so far:

boring and honing of block

polished and balanced crank

hks forged pistons 1mm oversize

nismo n1 oilpump

nismo rod and main bearings

jun headstuds

hks 1,6mm headgasket

tomei rod bolts

tomei oil gallery orifice

I also plan to shotpeen my original rods and maybe get them polished afterwords.

Is there anyone who can tell me how this is done?

Anyone who does this for a reasoable amount of money?

Do I need anything else to make the bottom end reliable?

boring and honing of block DECK THE BLOCK AND THE HEAD ALSO (to help the metal head gasket seal)

polished and balanced crank IS YOUR RB CRANK R32 IF SO YOU WILL NEED TO FIX THE OIL PUMP DRIVE JUN CRANK COLLAR

hks forged pistons 1mm oversize or CP MAKE GREAT PISTONS USA

nismo n1 oilpump FOR THE BHP I WOULD CONCIDER A JUN OIL PUMP(especially if you plan to rev it hard)

nismo rod and main bearings NISMO THE BEST

jun headstuds

hks 1,6mm headgasket YOU ARE NOT CONCERN WITH RESPONCE BY RUNNING A THINK HG YES?

tomei rod bolts I WOULD BUY RODS ie PAUTER IN USA OR TOMEI/HKS ALL GOOD

tomei oil gallery orifice

YOU HAVE NOT MENTIONED THE HEAD SPECS what did you plan to run as bhp is basically pistons up?

thanks for the comments Pete!

Yes, i will deck head and block aswell.

It,s a r33 engine so dont need to do any changes with the oil pump drive?

I see that the jun pump is ALOT more expensive than nismo,

will try to keep i under 7800rpm so I hope the nismo is good enough.

for the headgasket, is 1,2 mm thick enough for my application?

Isnt the original shotpeened rods good for around 700bhp?

The head has been profesionally ported,gasfloved, and rebuildt.(also the combutioncamber)

any more help would be great!

Yeah 1.2m head gasket will be fine

The std rods will take alot but 700bhp would be the limit and after such an $$ rebuild it would be a shame to lose a leg out the side(i got my pauter forged rods for $1500AUD deliveried)

The N1 oil pump is not NISMO and is the same as std, bare a stronger pressure relief spring and if your not going over 8000rpm will be fine.

What cams are you running and have you bought adjustable cam wheels for them?

What will the primary purpose of the car be?

ditch the jun headstuds and rod bolts and fit some arp bits.

http://www.paceparts.com/index.asp?PageAct...S&Category=7740 sells the head studs at a very reasonable price but you will proly have to look around for the arp rod bolts (tomei use arp bolts).

Thanks for the good info guys!!

I will use arp bolts now.

The cams I am using is the tomei 260 type b with adj pulleys.

What are the recomended adjustments of the pulleys?

Or do I have to adjust them on a dyno?

The car will be used as a street car mainly.

And it will also be used at tracks and maybe some 1/4 miles :P

Do you adjust them on a dyno?

Or when the engine is out?

dyno is the best place as you can see the direct effect of any changes and every motor is a little different. But i have found a little advance on inlet gives better and earlier low down power and some motors responced to a little exhaust advance as well. Best to test all changes on the dyno and you need to remember to reset timing when adjusting the exhaust timing.

    • Good tips, will get on those tomorrow. When doing the maintenance I did move a few of those connectors around, and things that are old tend to not like moving around. (Like me).
    • Don't try it. It will be shit. Better chance of damaging the engine than gaining any knowledge about the old one. Maybe, but unlikely, especially if the O2 sensor is working. You can use NissDataScan to look at the stock ECU.   Cleaning the AFM is seldom necessary and seldom helps. The R35 coil & loom conversion should eliminate dud coils or plugs. But as you still have misses - look to the plug where the coil loom connects to the engine loom, and the CAS plug. Need quality connections there. Also look to injector plugs. And the AFM plug while you're at it. Also look to whether your injectors are clean and flowing evenly. Get them out and onto a testbench.
    • Good to know, I feel like I am in for a rollercoaster ride that looks like a sine wave. 
    • You'll fit right in. Acceptance is the first step.
    • Hey folks. I've been lurking and browsing the forum for a while, since I got into my head that I wanted a skyline. Having purchased an overpriced completely stock GTT, (only "mods" it has is HKS pod filter and catback) now that it became legal in the US, it was all glorious and sututu noises here and there. But then I wanted to do things right and went to do basic maintenance. After all the fluids, filters done, I did the spark plugs, that's when the problems started.. First the car started spluttering at around 4.5k RPM. Which I gapped down the new plugs and that solved the sputter there, but the car now always misfires at idle with pops when lifting off and shifting 2nd to 3rd. Similar to the issues in this recent thread. I've been banging my head against the wall, reading the threads here and trying suggestions for a couple months now, so decided to start this one to explain exactly what I tried and what is going on. The symptoms of the issue: Idle and low revs misfiring intermittently. You can hear the exhaust tone change and the shakes on the shifter knob. It happens frequently, but doesn't seem to have a rhythm to it. Pops when backing off throttle. It pops and or burbles almost feels like it spits fire when it pops. (Happens mostly in 3rd gear at around 2k RPM). When under load and after 6k RPM, it also pops when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. There's a ticking noise at around 2k RPM in 2nd gear going downhill, seems unrelated though but I am out of educated and downright dumb guesses. Not noticeable lack of power when putting the car into load. The attempted diagnosis and solutions: Unplugging coils when the car is running This did nothing to change the idling and tone shift for every cylinder. Checking the exhaust headers with thermometer They all are within what I'd say it is margin of error of the laser thermometer New spark plugs Tossed two new sets, copper, iridium and using the old ones, still misfiring, even re gapped to 0.8mm, still same thing. MAF cleaned with the "specific" spray cleaner No changes in the issues what so ever. Brand new loom and r35 coil conversion (was going to add the r35 coils anyway) car runs arguably better, still misfires, but seems like does less frequently. Placebo? Code 21 now being thrown, thanks nissan gods. Removed the CAS to check the shaft for play or anything. CAS seems all fine, nothing that indicates any issue, visually speaking. Things to attempted next: Ordered a new MAF (chinesium from Amazon, to be able to return regardless of result). Fuel with proper gas, maybe it is this California water that they sell as gas that is to blame? Plugin the link ECU and check the info using the built in base map. Go back to BMW and eat my rob bearing breakfast without milky oil mixture.   Do any of you have experienced anything like this or have any suggestion?
