Dont be scared, especially not of setting lash. This thread has everything you need to learn how to do it. I would charge at least 4 hrs total labor (not including shims at $10 ea.) on something like this, and thats to do it with JWT gears or the like. Add 2 hrs for the way i did mine, since you hav...

Wow, lots of scary bad info here. First off, the big end of a rod has to be a perfect circle. It is machined to a perfect circle with the cap bolted on. If you install the cap backwards, you probably wont have a perfect circle any more. Get it. So, that DOES MATTER. Even replacing the rod bolts can/...

FSM tells you exactly how it comes off if youve never done it before. No hammers involved!!!!!

Also, since the lift and duration didnt change, the torque shouldnt be "peakier", but it will shift peak tq. up in the rpm range. This is exactly what im looking for. More top end hold (doesnt fall flat at 5500) or as much as i can get out of stock cams. We shall see once the car gets on t...

I got it. No the dial indicator wasnt set up wrong, Nothing was screwy, im probably just the first person to care this much about stock cams (or know enough about bluprinting). I can do math and i already knew that the stock cams should have 7 deg of overlap. Problem was Nissan doesnt specify a lift...

Why not just run a 20-25 EPC valve? I just dont understand the desire for such high initial oil pressure and relatively low high rpm pressure. Where does this magic 60psi # come from? Not trying to argue or anything, just looking for some context.

So you want say 55psi at idle (and i guess 6500 too)!? Im having a hard time understanding your desired outcome.

I also dont understand how you are going to "enlarge the regulator". Gonna make a new piston for it?

If you just want your base oil pressure to be high enough to fill the accumulator, shim the regulator for more pressure. The pump should flow plenty of volume to keep up with more pressure.

Air can be compressed twice (compound turbo setups) with the correct size differentail between turbos. Diesels are running 100+ psi. Running 2 turbos or superchargers or whatever in paralell (like the drag car pictured) wont (by itself) increase the boost. Thats regulated elsewhere (bypass valve/was...

^^Thanks, i set em all to .012. hope it doesnt tighten up when it gets hot. On to my next question. Dealing with stock cams for now, cheaper to play around with and less chance of P/V issues. Question is mainly about overlap. This is a 9:1 piston engine with a 90.5 bore, and .040 HG. Its also been c...

I have a question on this. The FSM clearly states that the measured valve clearances for that equation should be made while the engine is "warm, but not running" as well as "Valve clearance (Hot):" above the specs. Whats the verdict when assembling an engine on a stand? Obviously...

Calm down there Matt, I have one too, and iv had no problems with it.


Mdubwhatever... When are we gonna see you at a real event? Theres one in Mineral Wells this weekend, only $40 entry fee. There are events there at least once a month, so you got no excuse for me not seeing you out there.

I run one with my RSE ECU, but only for the decel air function. I like my loud BOV.

Sounds like a torn injector o ring.

I will make it a 3rd for Wiseco, all of the above and the rings that they come with are excelent as well.

Looks bad ass Sam. You are always so thorough. Now no more letting **** drive it.

My stock KA head flowed close to 270 cfm @ .450 lift. I'll see if i can find my notes at home so i can give you a curve.

Sup dood. Where in TX are ya? Im in Houston.

I will be running one. Buddy of mine has it on his SR. Easy to tune, accesable all of the time due to the programer that comes with it (like Power FC), converts to MAP and gets rid of the dist. for around 1300 total. Beats most all of the other standalones on the market. For a bare bones racecar its...

Here are the applicatons for the BKR 7 E and BKR 7 E11 plugs. Should make getting them at your local Shlepboys or Vatozone a little easier. BKR 7 E ( OEM plug on these cars is a BKR 6 E, the BKR 7 E is the manufacturer recomended colder plug.) Hyundai Scoupe Turbo 1993 - 1995 Isuzu Impulse Turbo 199...

I dont think thats very true nowadays. Considering the advancements in the availability of T2 flanged turbos, there are a few very viable options. Being able to use readily available parts (for SR aplications) makes installs much easier and more accesable to less experienced (or financialy/schedule ...

Very good thread, even if it is a little (ok alot) biased toward the T3 flange.

Add the pertinent info on 300 HP T2 flanged setups and this would be a very comprehensive thread.

I have dealt with this before too. I just tapped the hole for NPT thread and installed a plug, but the bypass is available frome the dealer.

Better change your sig like QUICK.

When I did my J30 I used the stock driveshaft at first. But when I upgraded to the SPL trans mount and Cusco engine mounts, it must have moved the trans/engine further back. The yoke on the DS was rubbing the flange on the trans. $25 later I put in a DS from a Hicas S13 (shorter because they have th...

Dude cut back a lil, LOL. Im from TX hes from CA.

Only problem I was having with the first turn was running out of power. And even with only 130RWHP I was linking that whole course better than most people there. Open diff drifting is not hard. Now that doesnt mean you donrt need a LSD its just saying that you cant blame the bad drifting on the diff...

Hey coldfire, who are you? Im from Houston and go up to the Texas Drift events in Mineral Wells all the time. Come out some time and ill show you what an open diff can do. And please dont insult/embarras Ziptied by spewing your uneducated opinions and trying to back them up with their links.

Weld it up and keep practicing.

Second for not re-using head bolts.

You asked and Ill answer. I have known a few people who reused their head bolts. None of their engines ran for very long without issues (like overheating) if at all.
