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.

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
