I suck at organizing build threads. I change my mind alot. Shit happens alot. Whatever. So far, 2013 has been going great compared to last year. Still having some slight issues but it's manageable and i dont want to headbutt dents in my door anymore.
Engine- vg30et. Pulled from a fwd maxima, rebuilt with $250 ebay kit. 9:1 compression. $200 ebay t3/t4 60 ar housing cold side, 63 ar hot. 2.5" v band adjustable internally gated 5 bolt housing. Journal bearing. Wheels are are about the size of an hx35, maybe smaller. i figured i wanted to go between stock and the hx35 for this. I'm not sure what kills z cars other than neglect and stupidity

Guys, i'm not sure if that restrictor is safe but if need be i'll just bore it out. put a twist type ball valve or tension spring ball on the line at the oil sending unit. all hardline. Why not hardline? Sold my generic e bay to a friend in need, actually sold alot of shit i bought because i didn't care about my car anymore.
quick facts:
VG30E 84-89+: Engine compression ratio of 9:1
VG30ET 84-87: Single Garrett T3 turbocharger with a factory boost setting of 6.8PSI and an engine compression ratio of 7.8:1
VG30ET 88-89+: Single Garrett T25 turbocharger with a factory boost setting of 4-5PSI and an engine compression ratio of 8.3:1

We'll start with the present.
I'm working on the mani. Header parts are on the way. I had to cut some corners and you know what? Zero regrets.

I kinda missed when it looked like this.
Wanted stock body...that aero was hiding alot of battle damage..... I'll repair what i can. Kinda want to gentlemen the thing up but not think to hard about it you know? Standard resto shit....Next time you see the car it will either be moving or on the ground and not so ratty looking. Black. Not flat. O0

Control: 84 300zx turbo ecu minimal sensors. MS1 v2.2 +extra. Not sure what extra is going to run yet.
Drugs: 255lb/hr pump. Right now 259cc injectors. I'll be maxing out pressure and duty cycle. These SHOULD be enough to at least break 300whp. Down the line when i figure it out i want to run decapped side feed maxima injectors. They are said to flow over 500cc's after that. Hello transmission breaking boost potential. Still, gotta crawl before i can walk......

At least your not to lazy to do work :noel:
-
Porn is lacking in this one, this is the only reason I check your post out :noel:
-
So you keep telling me.
I do appreciate the support guys.
-
Porn like that should wake slappynuts up. :noel:
-
Well done :noel:
-
Well since that's all fine and dandy can you guys answer this:
Is that restrictor too fucking small? I think i bought it for a gt28r years ago and found it rummaging through my parts bins trying to raise build funds.
I was thinking about drilling it out and using an adjustable ball valve on the feed line. Ideas?
-
I can't comment on the restrictor, but the women's orifices in this thread are way too small.
At least one needs to be being stretched in order to qualify for porn, otherwise its softcore shit.
-
Oh so it's like that, huh? Lol.
-
I'm such a lightweight anymore.

The fuck? No hotlinking from that place no more? Fucking porn nazis.
I'll be back in a couple weeks. Only update i have now is i want 350z seats because $60 a pair from my junkyard and i picked up the right maf i need for my 300zx turbo ecu. Tried to get a transmission but i'm a dumbass and couldn't handle it. Going through some rough crap at the moment outside of cars and the only reason i'm still working is it's an escape from that shit. Hopefully you guys will let this bs slide and keep me around. I promise great things. ;)

Alrighty. Still waiting on some fundage so i've been selling off some of my old ka shit trying to get it done in a rush. It's halfway through october, i wanted to be running this month....still looking like mid november because wiring and fundage and setbacks. Speaking of, tacked up my passenger side engine mount. Turned ok. Fucking drivers side was made hungry with caffine and nicotine running mad low so i will have to smack it apart with a hammer and start over again tomorrow...... Hopefully can unveil that batch of flux core shit tomorrow night.
We were supposed to start on turbo manifold today but between some curious neighbor talking our ear off and my helper having to leave after he got his ek dropped off at about 5:30pm unexpectedly (did vtak head swap and 5 speed swap on the rhmt price in a mere 4 days.) started to get dark and i was left disappointed..... The important part is i dont feel as overwhelmed seeing the engine back in the car. Oil pan clears everyfucking thing. Sits about 3-4mm from the steering rack. I would like to lower it eventually but whatever. I dont care. It's been so long since i've driven this thing that caring too much will just hold me back.....

That bungee cord will probably be used to secure this shit. It's temp anyway. I want an ebay core and aluminum eg half rad to be honest with you. Just can't afford it right now. Oh well. Fuck it. Run what you brung.
-
Hustling hard getting some parts i'm paining myself to sell, sold.
Here's what's not being used in the car n sold because i'm done fucking with trying to wire it up. It's gonna make my head esplode reverse engineering both nissan and the previous owners hacks and overcomplicated shit in the wiring.
Stock cluster. Stock hud. Stock relay/fuseable link. 300zx turbo ecu. The Stock chassis harness components tie into a central control unit and i'm looking at the schematic, how i want to simplify shit and it's just not going to work out using that crap. Because racecar, we're doing it up a little different.....like what i should have done in the first place. Orders were placed. I wont even say what but it's some dank.
I'll open the boxes of new shit with you guys in real time. =D
-
DO WORK! Looks like your on pace to be at rhmt NE 2013 dyno day!
-
Turbo mani tacked.
Ready to unbox this dope shit with yall here in a little bit.
Both sites i was hotlinking from wont let me hotlink anymore. NSFW friendly img hosting site?
-
DO WORK!

Did get some fun stuff handled last week.
Megasquirt 1 v2.2 arrived last week finally. Volvo fmic got thrown across the yard. small fmic for $55 shipped saved me a boatload of trouble, time, etc... :noel: Wont be running this week at all. I'm pretty much over worrying about budget (to a point) or slapping a time limit on here. Probably have to drop the gas tank..... =(
-
FFFFUUUUUCK I NEED MY PHONE.
I'm alive. Manifold has some pinholes and a few small beads left to go and it's done. As usual i ran the fuck out of wire.
I'm tired of this shit and as soon as i have $300-400 to blow i'll be picking up an everlast powertig 140a. It's the cheapest switchable HF/lift start i can find with a good warranty. 5 years. Gas knob on torch so obviously you control pre and post flow and there's no pulse or up/down slope control but no big deal. It's an entry level machine for the hobbyist. Granted i learned and worked on $4-5k machines i'm doing this for my car shit and dont own a company so it'll be fine. You cheap fuckers who dont have a welder yet i am in over a year on my china freight/"chicago" electric 110v 90a flux core machine and i have paid for it several times over. IF you dont have access and really want to make your own stuff by any means it's worth the $110-150 but dont plan on working miracles with it.
I've stretched it to it's limit. Much like this woman enjoying a simulation of reverse birth.

My intercooler got mounted. IT's ghetto as the rest of the car. Things will come together next week i'm hoping. Funds will be available, phone will be back on (pictarz) and my fab/build/diy shit will have arrived. Buddy dropped of some 275 40 17's for my 9" rims. They buldge like crazy and probably wont be too great for drifting (idk, they could be!) but i can work on my drag launches and drive around on them. Homie hookup. Highly grateful!
Tried to get a fuel cell last week but that fell through. I may just order a 10 or 15 gal aluminum one for About $145 shipped on ebay and be done with it and that is absolutely 110 percent if my gas tank is titanic'd. I have to wait til monday-tuesday to verify. Love the unexpected shit that pops up when you're on a budget and trying to set deadlines. Lol.
Das, get the fuck online and update your thread so i can get that extra bit of motivation.

I'm trying out img shack. My phone wont let me upload direct anywhere, even to text. Not sure wtf is wrong with it but my micro sd and my computer communicate again so it's on.
Rained today. I took some current snaps after fixing a flat tire in the rain while fighting the worst cold i've had all year.

More angle to be had here after adjusting lca, caster and camber. Bear in mind thats an 8J at -3 offset with a 245 slapped on it. Well aware there is no cool tire stretch or rim tucking going on in here. Running in the 90's. No one sleep in Tokyo. Got it?!

I bet it outflows anything out there. Period. It suxxxxxx. Never again will i do it like this. It was.....something. I'll say that. It walked bad welding it and will have to be slap chopped again. I'll add a flex section. I still have my old rwd crossover pipe so will try to recycle that. People have suggested i move the turbo over to the passenger side. That'd mean having to modify my drain after i already put the tube behind the alt. Idk. Open to suggestions fellas.
Squirting and sparking.

This was step 1 or 2 of the megamanual instructions. Lots of baggies still left to open. I'm not joking at all when i say this was mad fun to build!

Until next time....

My jimstim v1.5 arrived today along with my serial to usb adapter kit and harness kit.
Started working on the stim a little bit tonight. I called it quits about halfway through after i started stabbing and burning myself not being able to think because tired. Trooping forwards i should be finished with it tomorrow and can play with it this. I'm told i need a couple more bits for my ignition so i'll order those as soon as i can. It's really motivating to just see my car on all 4's for the first time in a year.
-
Any idea who the ebay sell was for that turbo? It looks like they actually did some balancing to the turbine.
-
CX racing. Call them up sometime.
EMOTOR/EMUSA is another good distributor.
By good i mean they will look out for you if there is a legitimate issue or inquiry about their products because they want to be a successful business, not some seedy as fuck rip off "imma get rich off of stealing peoples money" scammer vendor flipping junk bin snails for $300-500 then fucking you when your shit smokes or is hitting housing out of the box.
Edit: Compressor wheel was also balanced on the back side. not with a mill like i've seen before with other parts/turbos/wheels i've had in the past. Looks like nogs took a grinder to it until it came out good enough. Lol.
ISIS is another company that offers decent budget snails but not where i got mine from.
-
Likeing the progress. Think its going to be at NE dyno day 2012?
-
2013 probably. Lol.
I keep saying "almost done" but there's still alot more "do work!" needed. I work better when i'm having fun instead of pressuring myself so no deadline. Would like to be running after the holidays. Xmas really takes a bite out of my "i'm going to do nerd shit with cars" budget every year......

June 22 is the estimated date for the meet as of right now. I drove down the last 2 years at over 12+ hours each way. Well worth the drive!
-
I'd like to make it out. I mean the car is mostly for me but i'd like to show people what can be done on the dime when you care more about playing with power and boost than you do being jdm as fuck.
All is going well here bros. Went to the junkyard yesterday. I could write 2 or 3 paragraphs about the trip, what i found, what i wished i had money to load up in the pathfinder but nobody cares about that shit sooooooo race car shit:
Obtained volvo boost tubes and couplers. Even got a cool turbo outlet coupler that's blue and says "volvo" on it. Fuck yeah. I swear i want one of those cars eventually. I love them. they always have parts that say "pick me" every time i go out on one of these. Would have gotten a couple of snails to if i had the money but walked in with $30 in my pocket.... We have to go back because we're feeling either f22 sohc turbo in my buds ek, another dirty d. Being as none of us are ballers i said the v6 swap might just hurt his feelings like what i've been going through with my car. Easy on paper, tough getting the parts you need to pull it all together...... Anyway, we love volvo. Grateful for US shores getting those and saabs on the regular.
A honda lower header pipe. The 2-1 with flex and 3 wire o2 sensor. I can use every bit of that on v2 manifold. Some random pipe i picked up off the ground that has some ok gentle bends to it. not as thick as the honda pipe but the flux core can't burn through it. I think the iron content in the metal has alot to do with how my machine performs so hopefully this version looks better too!
Z31 300zx front transmission seal plate, clutch fork, tob sleeve, slave cylinder and clutch fork boot. That's the LAST of the gearbox shit in my hands i has now. It took us 5 hours and alot of cussing, swearing, telling illegals to get the fuck out of our country, etc..... i got my shit and i am fucking pumped. engine comes back out some time after xmas so i can put the clutch, starter, driveshaft and all that shit back on the car for good. Lucky us the car i tried to pick this shit from last time was still there but this time i had some muscle with me and some z31 advice on getting the top bolts of the bell without removing the crossover pipe.
Still haven't tested my ms (because been busy foolz) but hoping to fire her up on my laptop sometime this weekend. Junkyard work has made me pretty sore so i'm going to burn some fine shrubbery and prolly get to work pinning my db37.
Yes, i know it's time to "Do work". It's always time to do work. Lol.

Emotor was the place I got turbos and wastegates from when I was selling Ching Chong parts. Only had 1 turbo failure I know of and they hopped right on fixing it. A guy I work with bought a full turbo kit from me. Still running strong after 100k miles of 7psi. I personally won't ever buy another CDM turbo, but my goals in life have changed. I want bigger power and not have to rebuild occasionally. They are great for budget builds and low power setups.
-
Thanks for confirming how well they do business.
For safety and average internet talk box feedback i dont plan on exceeding 15 psi. Seems to be the limit working pressure due to balancing issues. I mean all the symptoms point directly to it, not oiling. Granted this doesn't happen on everyones shit but it happens often enough to consider it a risk factor at which point if you had the turbo on the car for a year, crank boost to 18-20 pounds and the turbo shits apart that's on you. No company should have to fix that. You got your money's worth out of it.
-
All of them I ran 10psi on never failed, all I ran 15+ on took a shit in 3-6 months. I did make 400whp at 22psi on a vitara D with their t3/to4e
-
Again, confirmed. Like you can tell people that all day you run a risk of longevity. People who have out of the box sent them off to a good shop to get balanced can go over that limit and get a few seasons out of them.
They list in peak power/psi. That's where it's misleading.
Junkyard has me sore as fuck and i said i wasn't going to do anything but i started working on my db37 connector for the ms1. The harness wires feel awesome in your hands. silky and smooth. I'd fap to it. did not finish the rest because these two diagrams are BOTH for ms v2.2....... That's the board i have. Take special attention to the grounds....... dafuq i do?

And i have an ms3 harness kit so the colors are kinda off so i need to stop being pc lazy and ms paint my own diagram with the proper color. I just wired them by idiot proof pin number. It runs the full length of the wire aside from grounds and crank signal shielded. Gotta ask which is the correct for mine.

Before i install my flywheel and clutch in the aftermath post apocalyptic wasteland would it be a good idea to rtv around the rear main seal like so?

I left the seal in there. The downside, that new ebay oil pan gasket is a pile of shit. Some of the exposed corners are already dryrotted and that vexed me a little bit so imma go to advanced tomorrow and scoop up the following i need:
Range 7 turbo spark plugs
Belt for my fucking ps
FELPRO oil pan gasket. Their blue plastic rubbery shit is made of magical smurf spunk that's not quite dry yet. Gargamel deez nuts.
Prolly some rtv and a t stat. If i dont plan on driving the car below sub zero with straight water nor do i run a heater core for luxury, do i even need a thermostat? Can i just say, fuck you bitch and leave that out and still be fine? Mine was seized open.
I had to go to the weld shop in town (5 minute drive) and bumped into an old friend. The best time to have at the titty bar or any bar is usually with that guy. Life of the party. Just moved back from FL not to long ago and he'll be tig welding a 45* elbow on my t stat housing to clear the ps belt. If you take a look at my motor here you can see exactly why the fuck that lower coolant hose wont work with a belt in place.... Pissed me the fuck off yesterday but at least dude man is gonna hook my shit up so it works....i hope. Waiting on their call now. They had to call the machine shop down the road to see if they had any aluminum elbows. Weld shop was fresh out. Have a look at the clusterfuck. Yeah, i put my timing cover back on. Safety and all.....

Pulley directly above the crank pulley is for the water pump. Belt runs from that all the way to the passenger side to the ps pulley, the idler/tensioner pulley and back to the crank. Look to the left of the water pump pulley and that silver aluminum piece of fuck bested me yesterday when we were prepping to put her back in the car.
Tranny and six puck bolted up. Um, i broke 2 of the pressure plate bolts off in the flywheel overtorquing, fixed it. Then fixed all the broken studs in the heads. I found some grade 8.8's to replace everything i broke so no fancy oem nissan shit that will probably just break again. ARP studs pull a premium so i passed those up too. 8.8 is good enough. They haven't failed me on any of the cars i've used them on. They tend to not strip out either but have stripped 2 or 3 i was still able to remove without much trouble. CHeap=winning. Fuck the law.
Here are my engine mount jigs and my engine mounts i made. It's only 1/8" thick steel but the fwd maxi mounts are thinner than this shit and hold up fine. I also have templates made so later on we can step them up to 1/4". I'm losing faith in my want of this motor for the trouble so vg30dett perhaps? Vq35de swap? Something of that nature. Idk but v6/v8 pretty much kills inline 6 if you want to keep your firewall intact and want a well balanced car. If i had to go straight six and older ford unit, nissan l28, benz or bimmer motor would be what i'd want. Fuck a 2jz. Fuck an rb. I want shit nobody has. Enough bullshit and tuner banter and i want but dont has. The goods:

These took me maybe 20 minutes total to weld up. I speeded on that shit and was rather impressed. They are outer seam welded fully and then reinforced on the inside with .5-1" stitching just to be sure they dont shear apart. They COULD bend but that's unlikely. I've seen worse hold 450hp rb motors up. Lol.
We did some block off plates.... Used some jb weld on some shit. Custom recycled throttle cable holder. That's why the intake was off in the previous pic explaining that situation with the t-stat housing.

Dont have a heater core. damn sure didn't mess with the maxima parts to make up the external coolant system because it's all weird and fucked up. I need to block these off. They may water cool some snail action in the future. Idk. Used weld weld for this. Some kind of weird low iron alloy.

Coolant source on the lower intake manifold that heats up the throttle body as well as some other sort of idle assistance shit. There was more emissions/idle shit on this than there was my rotary. Go figure. Fucking piston engines.... I stuck an 8.8 bolt that just barely fit in there, added jb weld and presto!

Speaking of dicks, this was the honda header downpipe i snagged. A bend of it anyway. Pipe within a pipe. Those things are suprisingly light despite that.
Using those bends with some tubular vq35de 350z headers instead of fucking with the maxima splogs. i'm sick of those things. They have bad placement and i'm sure they wont sound too nice. The bolt pattern on th eflange is nearly identical so i'll be using these for na/turbo/etc. We opted to actually run on the motor for now just to play with the car and ms and i decided to try the vq headers out because they'd be the shit for a TT setup. I already have 2 oil lines, 2 vband kits, wouldn't be too hard to add another drain to my oil pan and these headers look a hell of alot better for the task than splogs.....

The z transmission front plate. TOB, SLAVE, FORK and all that shit is the same as 240/silvia stuff but the pivot ball/clutch forks are in different orientation because of bellhousing differences. I hate this fucking plate. I had to jump through hoops for six months to get it.

Massuh say dat dey dont matter which you gon' use. Both bolt up to either bellhousing.
Some more megasquirt porn because i'm proud i actually built that shit. I may have broken it. I hope not. D18 (center led on the squirt box) isn't doing a damn thing but MS itself is able to process inputs on the stim and tuner studio's dashboard shows those inputs being read by the ms. Hmm.
MSxtra code DID burn fine to the processor so it's in there. Just not sure wtf is going on with my led's on my ms itself. Fiddle, fuel pump and both inj on the stim kick on during power on hooked TO the ms. They wont do that start up unless the two are paired.

IF YOU EVER DO A FROM SCRATCH WIRE HARNESS USE DIYAUTOTUNES WIRE! For real. The bundle is cheap. This stuff feels great in your hands. You can tell it's quality right after pulling it out of the bag. Way better than cheap hardware store wire, speaker wire (though you could use quality rca cable for your cas/dizzy wire because it's shielded from noise).
If i repeat myself it's because i dont re-read my threads or recall.

Fuck the internet.

I wanted to read the whole update but I got lazy. Maybe on my lunch break.
You absolutely need a thermostat. Oil is meant to run at 180°F. Running it cooler or hotter will cause things to wear quickly.
-
I like what I am seeing! Keep it up nog!
How much was the V3 stuff?
-
Ok good. I need to stop listening to old school v8 people who really aren't that bright then. Several have told me to fuck a thermostat. Because turbo car and that makes alot of fucking sense i'll listen to you. I'm told already it would be in my best interest to invest in an oil cooler of some kind if i want to beat on this for a while.
That is a v2.2 ms1 board with the latest version of extra code booted and my jimstim 1.5. V3.0 processor. Extras i had to get was a db9 serial to usb adapter kit and the harness bundle. 8' i think. It's not bad. So far i'm not regretting it. Learnings R funz. Prices are up on diyautotune.com. I've heard all kinds of horror stories from people buying second hand ecu's so opted to pay retail.
-
Looking at your tiny turbo I'm going to ASSume this is a drift car. Yes, I would run an oil cooler. You spend a lot of time on the throttle with a drift car at slow speeds and also sideways. There isn't much air flow through the radiator that way. You might even want to log oil temps to see what's going on. You don't want to over cool it but you don't want it hot either.
Don't listen to those dumb v8 rednecks. No thermostat can cause over heating too. The thermostat is an on/off switch for the radiator where it decides when the coolant needs to go through there, but its also a restriction. Imagine taking a bottle of water and setting it in a pot of boiling water for 5 seconds, then putting it in the freezer for 1 second. Then back in the boiling water for 5 seconds and so on. The bottle of water will continue to get hotter. The thermostat slows the flow of coolant so the water bottle can be in the radiator for 5 seconds just like the boiling water. Then the water bottle will stay at a constant temperature.
-
Yep. Drift car. Fair enough assumption. All out power isn't the main focus. Motor is limited to 500hp or less. I do want to throw down on the 1/8th and 1/4 just to see what it'll pull. that's why it has big boy tires on it at the moment. Usually for sliding most under 350whp run 235's max. 255-265 making close to 400.
If i did nothing but drag i'd do my warmup, stage, make a run and cool off it seems like no t-stat would be fine. Maybe thats what they were implying. I'm the only so called "drifter" in my immediate area. Everyone else is in the street or track game trying to make paper.
-
No T-stat would take forever to warm up. You'd want to kill yourself at the track.
-
Lol. I'll be running one for sure. Thanks for the solid advice.
-
Meh. I got bored the past two days. I made this out of v1 mani. Call it v1.5. I have no idea how much it's going to cost to get this and that shit to get my belt vs coolant routing vs accessory mounting taken care of. Said fuck it and cranked the nog gauge to 11 again. This one came out a hell of alot better. Looks good imo.
Mani fab isn't exactly easy but there's steps one can take to make it a bit easier. Put the flange/collector where you want it in a fixed spot first and make the bends go there. simple enough. Have all but one bend (probably a series of pie cuts and a straight) left and have to order some 2" vbands to make this work. $33 a pop for those where as 2.5" v bands only run $12-18 per kit. Bullshit.

Yeah boi!
-
Pump Shit!
-
Ol' lady wont let me. =(
Thinking about making a steel tstat housing for freeeeee to get around all sorts of waiting and money spending. How to get that to work without rotting all to fuck? Good coolant mix recipes?

Powdercoat that bitch inside and out.
-
Por15 on the inside. It works better if there is some slight rust too.
-
I forgot about por15. That stuff is like the jb weld of coatings but not really. Tough stuff! I figure i can cut the flange out of 1/8" plate, use a vatozone galavanized reducer, bend some shit ironworker hammer and tack style and maybe spend about $15 out of pocket.
Still trying to find a place that sells v bands for under $33 shipped. I would rather get those vs something a bit more time consuming or in the way all bullshit looking, however with the flexy on it it could technically all stay one piece and still able to unbolt and pull off the motor. Suggestions? If it was your manifold, how would you go about that?
Picked up a t stat, power steering belt and oil pan gasket, which is way different than what i expected. Two seals, one rear and one front and two tubes of rtv. No wrap around full perimeter gasket. $10 for the belt, $10 for the t stat and $18 for the belt which isn't bad. Bitch needs a t stat housing, finalized welding on downpipe and mani and she can go back in!!!!!! Holy fuck i'm excited guys.
:Jew: To the max. :Jew:
-
Good stuff, now...... DO WORK :noel:
-
I'll get what i can done. Been some bullshit going on. I'm not exactly thrilled but that's how it goes....
-
Well today wasn't going to be a work day on the car but i have my fuel pump and kinda need to drop my gas tank. Phone's charged so i'll take pics of the rot. Hopefully there wont be that many to take and it's just the stud area for the pump carrier that's fucked. Pray 4 me nigs.
-
i dont pray, but im hopfull. does that work? lol
-
You can pray to Corky Bell and i wont tell anyone.
Rest assured i'm not one of those religious types. :evil:
I bout got the bitch down but can't get the stupid fill tube off. If the car was a rust free clean virgin life would be easier but this one was already fucked with. No part of the car was untouched..... Not sure if a worm clamp, spring ring clamp or what the fuck is on this. I know my boys maxima we replaced the tank on had spring clamps and it was obvious. We didn't use no fucking manual and flipped the car over up against a tree in the junkyard like real men.
-
Surprise. Wat bro 340lb/hr was on the hanger in the tank. Shits clean inside there with no rust so i guess alls good. Probably should have checked prior to ordering a pump but at the same time i was shaking my head.
Pretty sure i'm good now. I forgot where i put my new fuel pump tho. Saw it on the roof of my car last. I was cold as fuck. My face is still burning. Could be the 93 octane fumes. I still have half a tank of that shit in there.
-
I had that happen too; however, it was a 190lph and I was putting in a gsr pump.
-
Hell yeah. :noel:
I'm not quite sure what the hell this pump was doing in here. that's alot of fuel.
I'm always down for "free" fuel pumps regardless of reason.
-
Hell yea I'm loving this. Theres so much damn shit your doing. I'm so glad I don't have to do nearly as much shit like that with mine :Jew:
-
Yeah. it's ALOT of shit. Fuck i never thought it'd be this much when i was planning it all out.
Most of it was fab. Now it's trying to get a handle on this megasquirt.

I spent easily 6 hours today alone reading up on what not to do pretty much. As far as full install, i got that part down. It's the settings for cranking i see ALOT of people having problems with. Again, going with 2jz/7mgte settings first and seeing where that road leads. if you change your mind chasing the idea you need a 3.3L ecu i'd be happy to share my findings IF i can get this shit sorted.
-
Keep me up to date. In the mean time I'm going to try out the 3.0 ecu with the 3.3l theory.
-
You should be fine. The only thing is if you have non interference camshafts and use an interference camshaft ecu (or vice versa) the lift is going to be different on the cams. Fueling and timing requirements are probably different as well. Maf, 02, injectors must match what came with the factory ecu. Better safe than sorry, i would match the cams and tps too.
I burnt the shit out of my thumb today. Really need to get some welding gloves that are thin enough to do work yet minimize pain. my 2.5" down pipe flexy is on it's way. It's ss. it was 15 doll hairs shipped. I'll be stoked when it arrives. One step closer to being "finished" with the exhaust system. I'll add a cut out later. I bought the flexy so i can dodge my steering column and cylinder head by running parallel to the frame rail. All welds aside from the good fused pie cuts are gusset jointed. confident it wont crack for a while if at all. When i get her back in the car and bolt some shit on i'll do picture time.
Laters.
-
Moar setbacks.
So after wrapping up my manifold and admiring it's sexiness in clothes i went to fit it. Collector had to be cut off both bank bends and re-clocked. I took some measures to eliminate walking. It walked anyway. Motherfucker.
It's been reclocked just not fully welded. I had planned on wrapping manifold, test fitting, going to the hardware store to get some exhaust studs and reducer couplers....possibly getting the first section of downpipe tacked up. I'm using hobart wire now after running out of my beloved fusion flow. I paid half as much for fusion flow. It's made in the usa. Spatter is to a minimum. It doesn't ball up on low amperage and the flux soot doesn't cake on everything. It stays local to the weld and maybe 2mm outside of it. Hobart makes a fucking mess and looks like shit. I also burned through with it today. The way i did my cuts and 270* wrap around gussets was to avoid that and this wire just hates me. Thank god for exhaust wrap!!!!!! Curse getting those little fragments embedded in your skin tho. Yes i wore gloves. It got over everything anyway.
Long day. I'll be busy as fuck all week. Hopefully i can pull off what i aim to do this week. My brother who told me today he learned how to do aluminum at work now has possession of my thermostat housing. He'll be going off to school next week to further his welding/machining education. Pretty proud of him i must say. I hope he's able to get that job done for me though.
-
Lol, I need a brother with skills. I don't even have a brother.
-
Set backs are always to be expected, you just have to tell it fuck you and keep pushing ahead. In other words DO WORK!
-
Phil, it was random as fuck. Just shows up at the house and randomly asks if i need anything welded. Hadn't seen or talked to him in a few weeks. Lol.
Crxvtak9juan, yeah. They are to be. I'm always breaking shit or fucking something up or ordering shit i dont need it seems. manifold is back home. I hope it doesn't leak. It damn sure fits. Hardware store trip bright and early. Hope like hell i did right on those motor mounts.
-
Last revision of the budget manifold..... It looks the same but pushes the turbo closer to the front of the car. Wont know if it clears the rad/fan until it's in. If it doesn't clear i'm going to slant mount an eg half core.

Home. Bolted. Gasketed. Clocked. Wastegate actuator is set so the flap door is cracked open about 3-4mm at 0psi because megasquirt and questionable condition injectors and high compression motor.

Meh. Yesterday got spent spending 3 hours fitting up manifold, installing all the acc belts, putting the alternator back on, looking at what port to use for the wastegate, looking at what could be blocked off on my intake manifold and trying to find something to make a cheap catch can out of over wasting $40 on two valve cover breathers and not sure if good practice to plumb pvc valve into the compressor inlet tube. Didn't quite get to dropping it in the car yesterday due to thinking too hard about oil pan but there's lift straps on the motor now waiting on the job to get done. I'm leaving the drain setup full nog but did spend about 2 hours running around trying to get some steel 1/2" single barb 1/2" npt fittings locally. Nobody has shit. Brass, aluminum, copper. JB weld time. :noel:
-
Sexy beast! I like the project. There is so much homemade fab work its beyond retarded.
-
It is. I keep telling myself i should have just ordered some dished 90.5 bore weiscos for the 4 banger and tossed the holeslut i had on it wanting to put driving first but i got mad and some retarded shit went down and has continued to go down. Lot's of "fuck it" went into this.
Freezing outside and rain is coming. Had two friends show up randomly today and i was already in that "i'm not fucking with it today" mindset. They wanted to see the motor in so we made an attempt. Oil pan gasket job half done and really slowed down progress and we ran out of time. Lack of shop/elemental cover blowssssssssssssssssss.
I found a steel egr tube that's in great shape that's gonna sacrifice itself to the turbo gods and used a maf screen to keep shit from breaking my oil pump from boogers i couldn't quite get to in my oil pan.
Slow day.
Fuck winter.
-
Small little update:
Oil pan gasket is done. Fit much better with the felpro gasket kit and i didn't have to do any crazy manhandling to get all the bolts back in. Put screen on sump pickup for safety.
I had to notch my passenger side motor mount bracket because the starter wouldn't fit. Took about 25 minutes of grind, test fit, grind test fit. I have about 3mm clearance now. Had wrong bolts. Spent 30 minutes looking for right bolts....
I cut my oil drain tube, left it where it's at but just shortened it and stuck a 1/2" barbed fitting in there with a glob of jb weld and some channel locks. Should be fine...... If it leaks a little, oh well. None of the oil pans on any of my vehicles were leakproof regardless of torque pattern and amount of rtv used.
I feel like shit but a beer and some rest should have me lined up to take her home tomorrow morning/afternoon and handle a few odds and ends in order of what i think will be the most fun.
-
Doin werk. I like it. Haven't seen solid flux core work in a while.
-
Only the finest for that slut pig of a car.
Soooooo yesterday with 0 help i made an attempt to put the engine in. Turns out the way i had my engine supported and in the angle of the driveway i couldn't angle the trans down or even push the shit uphill by myself. While it's rocking back and fourth i see something fall from the bottom........ Look again and i'm like "oh, rubber hose. No big deal." I pick it up. It's the oil pan rubber seal that wraps around the underside of the oil pump.
Fuckin sweet. Motor is going back on the stand. Motherfuck.

Wtf how does that happen?
-
well, it's not a snap fit. You know how oil pans sometimes have that dip on the front and rear of it for the crank? Well the 360* wrap around gasket was shit, wouldn't seal in the back and dry rotted.
This gasket is two STRIPS that go under the rear main and oil pump. I rtv'd em to the motor first and the pan has to slide back at an angle and come up in the front. Probably fell off during that process. i didn't see it on the ground or anywhere and assumed it was good. Oh well. it's in the car now.
Motor mounts line up fine. Thank fucking sweet baby jesus. I feel hockey pucks with thru bolts would be way easier to install than stock mounts and cheap to make. I'll do that. I have time to take a drill bit to some pucks, slap some washers on it and throw all thread through it.... I would hope, right?
Turbo hits new core support BARELY. This means radiator damn sure wont fit. Um, i may just cut the core support, take measurements and get some dual pass shit on the low that will fit the bill.
Uh, what else? I got bored and felt the need to pull some side feeds off the bent to shit rail i have. Figured i'd try my hand at this pintle diffuser modification and it's fairly easy. I took a few pics but my shit isn't high def and captures light reflection rather well. I mowed one into a paper weight with an angle grinder. The other i milled the edge of the welded cap down and just focusted on the weld ring. Center plate with those greedy fuel restricting bastard holes fell off exposing the pintle.
I'm told red, early/late pink, purple and blue top jecs side feed injectors are all the same impedence and are all the same. The only difference are the diffuser plates.
More on that hopefully monday. I'll have to try my brother's phone. Shoots 1080p. This shit looks promising! Dude told me he made 450ish on pump gas in his 2.4L turbo 4 with them. People hit those numbers with 550cc injectors so trying to figure out how hard it is to tune these. Bet he was running overly rich or couldn't get the duty cycle low enough for the boost he was able to run. Idk. It's the path less traveled where only the cheap and desperate boost junkies care to tread.
-
DO WORK! Your soooo close!
-
Yet so far. Junkyard was pillaged by assholes when i was away.
M30 coil and ignitor were taken. q45 370's were taken and half of them were still in the rail broken in half.....fucking noobs. D21 intake was gouged and chipped. Rail was busted and 3 injectors were missing. I got nothing out of that little trip. Also didn't find anything for you either Ironcrx. Had i grabbed this stuff before i'd have it now so it's my loss/fault i'm not going to get down and dirty with big ass holeslut and a chance to break axles in the spring.... I'll still be driving, just weaksauce sub 300whp. =(
Fuck it.
I guess i'll get started on my downpipe today. It's sunny. it's nice. I want to do something fun. Was going to get dd with taxes but i did this whole "dont give government free money" program with my w4 and broke just about even. Getting enough back in taxes to buy some budget coilovers for this beater and honestly i think at this point that's all it will need. I'm focused more on motor than i am on suspension. Inverted digressed mono tube dampers will get had eventually. Billstein and I spoke over the phone and they'd be able to hook me up on what i need/want. For now I say a real fucking man can drive whatever and bitches not about grade of parts and when part break it's like "oh well, fuck it. I had fun breaking it."
Fuck it.

So in spirit of talking alot and showing nothing.....
I replaced some moar fuel lines and shitty fuel clamps. I hate the jesus clamp and i hate super small philips clamps but am too broke ass for earls style fittings and hate this car too much to do them for no reason. Shit's safe. I'm 80 percent sure i'm probably not going to burn to death during "normal driving". We all know bets are off in event of a crash for most of our shit. I'm uncaged, i'm sure the whole 5 or 6 of you that read this thread probably are too. Um very on the fence if i want to get some decent suspension for this NOW or just wait a few months. Def trying to get at least a 440cc injector up in here shortly as well. Just got a pay day. Just been saving like a mofo in order to keep this moving forwards.
Had to free my jackstands up so i did some bullshit alignment tweaking so my tires dont hammer the fronts of my fenders anymore lock to lock. Driveshaft installed, all shifter shit installed. I threw the dash in the car but haven't installed it and just found a needle tip for my weller solder iron so i can finish the little plug in's. I'd like to crank it up and get it to idle soon. My brother fucking needs to learn what a bandsaw is. Butchered my coolant elbow in similar fashion i would drunk and stoned with an angle grinder with a masonry grind wheel (not cut off but GRIND). I told him he's hired if he ever needs a job with shit pay and the only benefit is riding in interesting, shitty, fast, slow, and knocking on deaths door cars.......
Dont expect much going on in here guys. NA-T going down on a friends car. Long term been helping me out on my cars and my game and shit so it's about time i gave back to this nog. He's getting a rebuild engine spec'd out by me and a 10psi setup with room to grow if he decides he wants to spend another $1200 on his bottom end and arp shit. I wish i could spend cash like he does. Lol. But yeah, my first turbo car was an NA 2.0L dohc second gen mitsubishi eclipse. It was fun for 10 days. 10. That's it. I rage quit, had some pussy bitch cunt riding my ass about shit so it went after blown turbo. It's somewhat personal to tear into another one that's pretty much the exact same (probably better) than my first little snail'd car. He's kinda interested in megasquirt BUT wants to see mine up and going before he even thinks about investing that kind of hoorah motherfucker commitment into a car.
You never forget your first. NEVER. I'll ask him if i can give him a little rep in this thread and see what he says. Undicided if this slut is a "keeper" or a flipper. All i know is my role. Build engine and safe 10 psi that pulls like a fucking mad whore on fat cock til redline.
Guess i'lll be lurking yalls builds and bullshit til this picks back up. Very thankful for how things have been going lately!
-
I hope your loaded, because I couldn't understand half the shit you just babbled about. But sounds good.....lol
-
Well the jist of it i'm taking a break, working on this dsm shit re-living my "childhood" and all.
It's not too bad actually. Crank pulley took about an hour and a half of fighting with with 2 pullers (broke the tip out of my 2 jaw) 2 socket extensions, a socket and alot of willpower to not bring out the bfh or cut off wheel. Rebuild kit will show up at the LATEST on the 21st. I have to replace the tie rods and cv axles as well as the heater hoses as well as do a gutted depowered rack, semi wire tuck and fab block off plates for emissions. Here in south cack we dont fucking care about no atmosphere.
Ah and fuck my ass i actually did a few things about that car this thread was for. Nothing major but something.....
-3" hole saw. Front bumper needs speed holes for high mount intercooler. Fender needs it for fire to exit turbocharger. dsm needs it for intercooler pipe fitment. Uh and hockey pucks. Got a pack of 10 on the way. I know i'll need to do this again with another car at some point. Here in south cack we dont fucking get no frozen lakes so no fucking hockey.
-
FUCK THE DSM, get back to work!
-
I'm not doing the dsm for free and s13 needs a few more stupid parts...
TO be fair i did work on it last week. I may order injectors THIS week. DSM should be out of here in 14 days hopefully. I'll do what i can on my own car. Would love to re-do that oil pan gasket next week after i'm done cleaning this engine.
There's gotta be something better than purple power and brake kleen..........
edit:
Well i found a good deal on some rx7 460cc top feed injectors. As stated above, i'm sick as fuck so i called into work today. Fever gave me 0 hours of sleep so i did some work. They flow 460cc at 43psi rail pressure and 517cc at 55psi rail pressure. They should be here in 7-10 business days along with my hockey pucks and i have a tube of rtv ready to do the pan with. Before i can run the motor i still have to have my coolant elbow welded and fit a radiator. EG half rad wont fit. STocker wont fit so moar rx7 parts it is. Looking at a cdm/taiwanese first gen rx7 aluminum tri core. It's designed to be angled and it's also 2" shorter and 3" narrower than my stock rad. At $130 shipped i dont think i can go wrong. I'll have to wait a couple weeks but that is set in stone as the radiator for the job. If it can cool turbo rotaries it can cool this no problem.
-
I like oven cleaner for engines.
-
All the Afghans running the JDM shops here in Canadia like pressure washers and purple power.
-
what engine are you using? i didnt notice any specs and thought the sr20 was the motor of choice for those? none the less awesome car. cant wait to see some rippers, you setting it up for drag or drift?
-
FML how'd i forget about oven cleaner! Thanks.
I was using purple power in a pressure washer but it's manual pump action and i can only do but so much with that. I think i pissed the grime off more than anything else.
Mike, page 1. Go there. Start from the top. read through my ranting and shit along with the pictures. It's for the full effect. I can't throw the car's purpose into a category. I like to do a bit of everything. Just have fun with it i guess.
Sr20? Bahahahaha. Fuck that motor.
Edit: well, sr has it's place. Just not in my car. In something close to or under 2500lbs, i could see it being viable but i'm just not a fan of the rocker arm system. Any bottom end oil issues can be handled with an accusump but i mean shit's boring. Eveything just bolts up to that. There's very little aftermarket if any for the motor i have in it now and though it's been a gigantic pain in the ass making sure every part is in it's place for a reason i think i did good. My longblock has about $1100 in it including the prices of the stuff i already had and the maxima engine i used as the core for the build.
Just incase i left something out here's what i've done to the motor in full:
Vg30 single cam w series maxima block. Unmodified. Tanked and honed.
Vg30 single cam w series maxima heads. Tanked. Shaved. Lapped valves. New valve seals.
Vg30 single cam old series 300zx z31 intake manifold.
Vg30 300zx z31 top feed fuel rail and pressure regulator (rx7 480cc high z injectors to run of my msv2.2 without needing resistors or flyback)
VG30 300zx z31 old series rods, arp bolts, peened.
VG30 single cam maxima pistons from Nippon. NPR rings. Factory gap. FUll floating wrist pin upgrade. They had to hone the narrow end of the rod for this. Pistons had provisions for snap rings already. Oems from my motors i had on hand did not.
Stock cams n gears. I forget which ones i used but i think the maxima and z31 used the same grind (used either or) and truck grinds are different profile for non interference. (saving for regrinds and springs)
Pizz fab (alias i use elsewhere on the interwebs is PIZZ) oil pan with trap doors and extra capacity
XTD six puck sprung clutch. Stage 3 or 4 whatever. It was cheap and i was told by alot of people that run the clutch they are fine. May get a bad one here and there but for the most part they worth the money savings over going with spec or something.
Stock composite head gaskets and bolts. 13 head bolts per side? I aint scurred of a blow out on boost.
Pizz fab version 1.5.2 front mount turbo manifold
Brand new shimmed reman maxi oil pump. 99 percent i gave my stronger high volume z31 turbo pump away on accident.
I hate writing lists. Reminds me exactly of how much time and labor i have in this car and how much is left. lol.
-
Hell if I'd ever put an sr20 in a 240, I'd boost a KA24 long before sticking that tiny sr in there. They are cool in sentras.
-
Yes they are. Every now and again i see g20's in the junkyard, pop the hood and say "hi sr20".
Pull a premium one week before race wars. I should start flipping those for profit. RWD trans have same bell pattern? I know the intake is ass backwards.
When it comes to ka vs sr, i'm ka all the way. Kinda wished i had stayed ka but the sound was terrible. i couldn't be sneaky at all. VG is a bit smoother and even open downpipe na they are tolerable.
-
Nissan v6's sound like pure secks. You made a solid choice. I know what it's like to regret a hefty engine swap though. I'm burnt out on my F23 crx. Not cause its difficult so much, but cause I can't afford proper progress. It really needs a custom intake manifold. I can't afford to pay someone to weld it up even if I do all of the fitting first.

You can make one cheap and send it to someone how here for welding. Tape is your friend when you cant tac something together. Thats what I may do with my crx.
-
I'm thinking about posting a thread to find someone possibly within driving distance. I could probably tack it all together with a mig, then have someone weld it. It will be a super simple manifold.
-
Yeah, might not be a bad idea at all to go to the fab section and ask for some labor help. I'm considering it if nobody here can make time to take my money and do this fucking tstat housing for me. Lol.

Seller origin motor sports on ebay is taking forever to ship my fucking drain line. Negative feedback. I wasn't exactly wide awake when i clicked buy it now. I picked up my last 5 from cx racing. I've "plugged" them in this thread before but they ship FAST and when i unbox and feel the product in my hand i'm like "no way in hell i can build this myself cheaper using the same style components from another brand".
Still, origin is pissing me off. I've lurked their store alot but never picked anything up til now. Hoping it shows up tomorrow or monday. I'm still busy as this is the state of affairs in my driveway.

It's coming along nice though. Just gotta get the machine work done i can't do in house or in town for that matter. Our machine shop doesn't do motors but imma get a number from an old timer local and see if he can help us out so i can get back to work on my car. Was going to take the parts to the same place i took my motor stuff to but they gave me a real assholish vibe, did shit without my consent or notification, not even a text and i'd rather not deal with them if i can help it. I dont like giving shitty people my money. They dont deserve it.
-
Nothing worse than slow shipping. I am super impatient with receiving stuff. I'll track it like 4 times a day depending on what it is. Lol
-
Got it today. Opened it before i went into work. Not bad for $35 shipped. Fittings feel like quality in my hands. Not earls quality but close enough. Feel like i got my moneys worth and then some. Got enough parts in hand to motivate me to get em off the floor and on the car this week. Hopefully rain stays away so i can shorten my to do list. I'm glad there's more shit crossed off than pending.
Dyno day is getting close. The drift events have already started. The local strip has been popping. It sucked today driving back and fourth to work (i work 5 minutes from home) seeing supras, evos, trailers, trains of fucking sick cars and i'm driving a beat ass pathfinder. Highly motivated at this point to bust out as much as i can! I refuse to miss another season. Fuck that.
-
Note to self:
AN fittings are reverse threaded on the hose end....... 5 hours later and my drain line still isn't assembled but i bolted my hood on. Shit felt the need to fly across the yard today. Cold, windy. Building the motor in the dsm tomorrow and hopefully putting that in wednesday. THought i was gonna have a break but we called the journals acceptable and i've been fighting tooth and nail to get a solid lead on a decent machine shop. One i went to bullshitted me and fuckin tried to charge $350 to hang pistons on rods and polish the crank. They charged me $50 (i still have the bill from my motor in my car) for the crank job and $25 to hang the pistons on the rods. Rest of that bill was spent in cleaning/hot tanking, peening, balancing, honing, head work. (had to bring them 4 cylinder heads).
I'm fucking spent. Putting the s13 nose up on jacks tomorrow and ripping the crossmember down to do the pan gasket and dick with the bulkhead fitting for the turbo drain. My coolant elbow ALMOST fits. I just have to shave another 5mm or so material from it and it's ready for welding. MS harness is done. Jumpers are installed and thursday i'll throw the 460's in and re-do my throttle cable bracket. Just lost alot of time fucking with assembling the turbo drain. Tin snips are nowhere to be found so i've been using kitchen shears to get all those little strands cleaned up..... I hate SS lines. hate them. I dont give a damn how baller they look.
-
Built the motor and put it in the dsm. Would have been running today but one out of our 3 man party had to go run. The owner and myself put the clutch, gearbox, mounts and stuff back on in roughly 3 hours. That's with food, cigarette and bullshitting breaks. Lots of people kept showing up today. Had to loan my engine crane out, had to borrow one from another friend....
Anyway, that will be done hopefully tomorrow.
S13 got a nifty new hole in it's fender and cut the core support. Oe radiator STILL wont fit even slanted. Fuck it. From the get go i knew about the only thing that would work for this without modding the radiator would be an rx7 unit. Didn't have a chance to do anything with the downpipe yet but i'll get on cutting and tacking some of it tomorrow if i get a chance. Dude wants to drive this thing to the beach friday to break it in so i may have to wait. He'll be paying me soon, taxes came in. Not alot but enough to put some fun parts on my car i need. We're going on a trip next week to go trade/sell alot of my parts i have. Etc.... I can't say what is going on exactly right now aside from radiator and downpipe since those were the two big issues going on with the build. THe rest is just bonus fun/parts.
I plan on doing alot of ss braided shit in the future and was thinking there had to be a tool to make this shit easier. Sure nuff.

It's bolted in. Finishing up tomorrow morning, putting fluids in, starting it, checking for vac/oil/coolant leaks and i'm back to work on my shit son....granted i never stop working on it. I work on it at work writing formulas, fucking around with my ms (i literally bring it to work and plug it into my laptop in the truck) etc... Nerd shit. I'm bout dat life.
In my defense he just dropped off a bunch of nice non crush bent 2.5" bends, some 1.5" bends and some old aluminized steel trampoline shit i'm going to use to do some more happy fun things to my front end. I ordered some coilover suspension and i'm going to pick up some more shit tuesday. Relax niggaaaaaa!!!!
240 is still the same way i left it in the previous post but hey, here's a visual! :noel:

And i has to make new core support. Can't do that until my radiator comes in and the radiator has no cap so like, i had to order a $40 remote fill neck.
Little parts i need are 12 fuel line clamps, some 5/8 hp fuel injection hose (to install my rx7 injectors), bout $12, a -10 an to 1/2" npt male/male and an o ring 1/2" npt lock nut. oil drain diy bulkhead on the dime. $7 total. Already ordered those things. Just was unsure if this shit would work out on the nog trying to rig it.....

w0000! I haven't picked up any npt barbed fittings to do my catch can with yet because slacker but that's comming. JB weld and spray paint will be involved. ALL my friends are pitching in to help now that they are up and running. Grateful for the extra hands.
I still find it bullshit i bang my friend's car out in a matter of weeks and mine.....well you know the deal. Maybe because part of me wants to half ass my car and the other part says "fucking stop, asshat. Do that shit legit or you'll be doing it more than once".
-
Yea, I do other people's shit way faster than mine. I don't know why. Kinda like tuning. I have never done a full 100% tune on my own stuff, but once or twice a week I tune other people's shit that's solid.
-
IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. Too much think and not enough do. I'll see how much i can attempt to get done on my car tomorrow but thursday i will be super busy with other stuff. The warm weather and fresh parts motivated me. Plus taking a break to do this other car was fun. At times it sucked but it was mostly fun.
dsm runs. Well actually. Cranked up around 2am thismorning. Back on track.....
-
Tomorrow night i should be finished hanging the new injectors on the lim. Clamps i picked up today are too small. Excitement. ;DDD Because i'm lazy i'm pulling the motor back out again (not shit because no stupid crossmember in the way anymore. Doing a multipiece now. Should take me a days worth of work if i have one or two friends over helping. Crash bar will bolt in and radiator/intercooler bracket/core will bolt in. Makes life easier.
I told ted we need more engines in the warehouse. Right now a bunch of useless crap we're cleaning out for spring. I was a bit upset today so decided i'd work on my car a little. You think an injector swap would be easy and no big deal....not on these engines. I'll show why tomorrow.
-
Side feed?
-
No, top fed bro.
Coilovers came in today. Injectors got done BEFORE i went to work. Sd card wasn't switched over in my phone so i lost a good bit of that injector swap process but you can read about it here if you're interested. I take ZERO credit for the link. In fact, this very link is where i got my info from.
http://www.redz31.net/pages/fuel/fuel.injectors.html (http://www.redz31.net/pages/fuel/fuel.injectors.html)
All i really have to add is removing the stock fuel hose clip things are a pain in the ass. Over an hour with tin snips and a metal pick to remove all 12 of them. New injector (which is not barbed) recieved an o ring and a worm gear clamp. The injector body hold downs fix the injector itself to the lower intake manifold and the clamps just keep the rail from blowing off the injectors. They drop right in using z31 turbo seals and plugs. You have to shave the tab off the bottom for the plug to fit but that seems to be how it is with injector swapping half the time anyway.
Anyway, i'm really pissed at photobucket......... I'll try in the morning.
-
that is the most retarded thing i have ever seen. thats a fire waiting to happen. i worked in a nissan dealership at one point and dont remember that at all
-
No, if you're dumb enough to reach fuel pressures towards 100 psi and shit it's a fire waiting to happen. They do make an o ring rail but it's aftermarket. This is oem. Mercedes also has this setup on one of their cars. Injectors are 420cc. Hose barb style. Look this shit up.
I've seen people hose barb and use the injector body locks to run additional injectors on older skylines and rx7's way back in the day over in j-land and the shit worked. PR does it too. This is why i love my cars. Each and every one of them have stirred the pot until the water boils. Must be doing something right. =D
Anyway, mines:
The pink top barbed is in my hand. The o ring rx7 injectors are on the rail. Rest assured it was a BITCH to remove the oem ones. those weren't going anywhere without a razor blade and tin snips and i'm pretty sure these wont go anywhere either. Seen several setups (identical intake/rail/injector combo) that are still living today done exactly the same as pictured putting down over 400 wheel. Imagine that.
I may zip tie the rail down with 150 pound ties just for extra security. Yes, i'm serious.

Still have to install the fwd maxima thermostat housing and coolant pipe before this can go back on. My ears have so much pressure they are rining, my throat is sore, my chest is tight. I want to kill every pine tree on the planet right now.
Oh, yeah, coilovers. I've always been like "meh, coilovers". I wished the pictures i took yesterday would have worked. Came out alot better..... I've owned JIC (garbage), D2 (Came on my car when i got it. Msrp is high but great coils. Damping could go full caddy to full pissing blood from kidney fail in 32 clicks) and now these. With my stock shocks free'd up i can cut them apart and work on the billstein hd setup which i should have done in the fall. That's going to take some time and money...... These SHOULD hold up fine and if they dont, warranty. =D

My problem with the hose on the injectors has nothing to do with pressure. It has everything to do with sitting on top of an engine, heat cycle after heat cycle till they dry rot and bust. It's not making the power, I know it will work, it's longevity
-
As long as it's fuel injection hose it'll be fine. Unless you're worried about your feed and return lines as well?
-
ALL my fuel hose is high pressure fuel injection hose. Wouldn't dream of using anything else aside from aluminum hard line or SS teflon lined.
Edit: O rings and injector seals have around the same life expectancy as the rubber hose. If you are stupid enough to just let that shit go and dry rot you deserve to watch the shit burn to the ground.
I've owned 2 rx7's. Pretty sure my ass is covered from the paranoia those things put me through. Just because i switched back to pistion engines doesn't mean my rotary basics were forgotten. I think about safety quite regularly.
-
And spinning triangles, and thus, cocks.

My s4 base model came from the junkyard. it had been sitting for years. WEEDS, RAT SHIT, GRASS, KIDS MOVIES IN MEXICAN, all kinds of shit all up in it. Oh yeah and dont let me forget the fire ants nesting in the gap betweent he firewall and the bulkhead. All up in the fender too.
Motor turned over by hand and the guy i sold it to for $125 put maybe $300 into that motor to rebuild it and it STILL runs 3 years later.
Motor in my gxl was rebuilt by rotorsports racing in kannapolis, NC and i beat the FUCK out of it like i didn't give a damn for 3 years and it never once fucked up on me. Never even flooded. I had the same spark plugs in it for 3 years too and everyone with a rotary always bitches about the flooding and having to change spark plugs. Imagine that.
You sir can choke on MY COCK. Savor the flavor. I was more into skidding those cars than i was racing them considering everyone thought i was lying about hp numbers. After i get a few more things out the way i'll be making a return to rotary. There's just something about that engine that stuck with me. THey have 3 moving parts and do cool shit and spool big turbos. I wanna figure out how to get 350hp boosted from one reliably without blowing it to kingdom come. Maybe stuff it in a rwd converted geo metro or civic. something stupid and obnoxious that fucks with people. I hope you take the shit talk with a grain of salt. I know i do.

I made my own DSM injector seals with buna-n hose, which means it contacted fuel/oil/manifold at the injector bung. It took about 2 years before it showed any aging. I'd estimate 5 yrs for this setup, so it should last just enough to get it running! ;DDD
-
Fully legit.
Broke until next payday but i'll get all the power wiring shit taken care of, get some oils, probably water wetter because i dont need antifreeze and i'll just use a shit battery for now just to jump off and see if she'll run. Now it's the fun nickle and diming part to complete the car.....mechanically anyway....
-
Plans didn't go as mentioned above but things got done... More on that next week. I'll say this tho, downpipe was no fucks given. 2.5" crush bends with an ss flex bellow and ss v band. All generic flux core'd up. I did. Charge piping so far looks like a Weld-free affair but i have to ghetto rig a beader tool. Coolant system is about sorted too. There's pipes and shit everywhere. I'll show you next week. Got some parts coming in. Bought some stuff today but it's for that "nickle and dime" completion shit. Just wiring, couplers and some fab stuff. Tapped out my budget until next pay day...

Ghetto as fuck. Pipe mockup was done David Blaine by hand because i think i need to order some couplers. Def a 3" for the cold pipe. Opting to use the composite stuff for that. No steel or pvc needed and i have leftovers for my buddies car or whatever.
And i love this motherfucking toooooooooooooolllllllllll.

Starting to look like something now

Help and support. It's been nice to have.
My brother lent me his auto darkening helmet and a set of hands to help me fab a removable underside-mount intercooler bracket and we came up with the bash bar plan. Build it to be removable from the frame rails BUT fill it with concrete.
And last night when i came home from work i see two bags next to my porch. Someone mysteriously brought me a pair of steelies. 4 lug. Drift spares. Still haven't found out who did it. That is fucking rad. Stuff like that motivates the hell out of me. Not just on my own car but hooking my friends and their friends up too paying good deeds forwards. I'm all about some teamwork and helping out.
My prw-2 coil showed up, 2-2.5" reducer coupler should be here tomorrow and hopefully i'll have subframe collars by next week. The collars are for s chassis specficially because the subframe is on some bushings. Mine are probably og as fuck since 93 so what the collars do is act as isolators to keep the subframe from shifting and moving under load. Pretty much lets the suspension do it's work with less slop. The following pictures are not my own!

And this is ONE of the stock bushings. Subframe is held in place by 4 bolts to the chassis and these are the bushings. Enough play in them to have me concerned about consistent geometry. A good driver can get around it. I know i can but because i have power and retarded amounts of steering angle, stability and traction must be on point. I'm crazy and LOVE throwing the car as hard as i can. If i spin, oh well. Gotta keep it nasty as fuck but safe and competent!
(https://realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fmemimage.cardomain.com%2Fride_images%2F1%2F2650%2F621%2F6622810045_large.jpg&hash=5e9627de2efdb6e8720b7dee1d4a46dc4abe8925)
Way this works is the slotted collar goes on top and the 360* goes on the bottom. No need to lower the whole subframe (which is a pain in the ass if you dont have a transmission jack. I can borrow one from my homeboy but no need. They make subframe RISERS which you need to remove the stock bushing and it gives you a bit of roll center correction WHILE lowering the car a little bit as well but i dont have time for that and probably do not need them. Collars are fine for 90 percent of the driving people do with these cars.
If photobucket wasn't such a fucking cunt to use as far as uploading (sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't) i'd post more pics. It just depends on if it's behaving or not. Expect me to get more active with blogging and i'll attempt to start a legit spot for it at some point this summer. I like doing this stuff alot but only when it's with friends and family. Sucks working by yourself or in my case against myself. TWO turbo manifolds. TWO core supports. TWO coolant systems. Two vg30's. I hate doing shit twice....
That being said when the turbo comes back off the shaft, wheel and nut are getting sent to gpop shop for balancing. $100 for peace of mind insurance isn't bad. Total cost into the turbo itself would be right there at $300.
I love this shit. Right now i feel like i'm killing it so hard and can't wait to get on the track! Gonna have a good summer. If anything on the car breaks it's been engineered into it to NOT be a complete pain in the ass to hurry up, get replacements and keep downtime to a minimum. Because race car.

Two good things happened today. Finished my charge pipes without having to order shit. *nog level over 9000*
....and photobucket decided to work today.

I have a solution for this. Oe headlights wont fit and i pretty much dont care to get a silvia front for it any time soon. It would look cool but honestly i wanted the sil face for the headlights. They are 10x better than pop ups at lighting up the road. Obviously pop ups will not fit now because air filter and ALL the hot pipes and intake are aluminum. Cold pipe is steel.

And a shot of my 275's. I hope they provide decent traction. Did well on my friends mustang but he had em on a 10" rim. Mine are 9" so we'll see. Z rated sumitomos. =D
Oh, right. Headlight solution. These are kinda gross looking but for $99 shipped i can toss some $60 dual beam hid kit up in there, say "fuck you other motorists" and see everything at night like the terminator.

Had quite a bit of fuck shit happen a couple months ago. Wasn't fun. Stuff hasn't been easy. I'm unemployed. Living off 401k monies for the next few months or however long it takes to get a jobby. Fuck it. Shit happens. I'll be ok. I think....
As of yesterday i cranked the motor over with the starter. MS map i made offline wouldn't boot due to some fucked issue with code downloading. I'm fixing it now after i flashed the ms and used Tuner Studio live attached to the ms burning to ecu as i go. Bout 80 percent. Finishing that bit up now because rain. Because the jetstream is teabagging the everlasting fuck out of Carolina i haven't been able to work as fast as i want. Rain for pretty much the past two months straight........
Wheels have changed. Color is changing as i get windows of niceness to actually do some rattle canning and sanding..... Got a sabelt and Gforce sfi approved harnesses, both seats are OEM so they will pass tech. I broke my vband clamp and need tires. Oil i got in here is rotella 15w40. I put 6 quarts in and it's barely at the "MIN" mark so i guess that means my ass doesn't need an oil cooler huh? Oil changes gonna be a bit pricey in this bitch.
Pictars? Dos pictars.

Wiring And because I'm an intellectual being, megasquirt. this is just the main efi shit. I haven't wired in any kill switches. Red switch is for main power to ign switch, yellow switch is lamps, green switch is fuel pump, blue switch is efan granted i can mod the squirt to handle that. I'm now running n onboard bip coil driver in the case since i couldn't get the stock ignitor figured out. Didn't want to get the resistor value wrong and break something.

I'm trying to start it today or tomorrow depending on how well of a job a do, what doesn't work, what does work, what registers, what doesn't. Meh. I hate wiring. Really.

I never understood the beer tap shifter. Seems annoying.

I have no idea where the trend started but a buddy of mine was selling this and offering to thread it for me at a good price. It fit the bill. Will take some getting used to. Literally like rowing a boat but i thought it'd be fun. No performance gains at all. Straight novelty fun item.
Is anyone here familiar with TUNER STUDIO? I know megatune uses eztherm to calibrate. Just not sure about where to plug the values in with the tuner studio. I have no yet purchased the full version. If i need to do so lmk so i can knock that out bright and early tomorrow. Thanks!
Edeeettt: MegaSquirt Sensor Calibrations (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OW_g1t7pdf8#)
According to this way more than "calibrate tps" was supposed to be on my drop down so i'll be buying the full version now. Been raining on and off. I'll do what i can. I know ya'll ready to see what the hell this shit is all about. I'm ready to see what this shit is all about. Bout to go check the mail and see if my vband clamp is in there so i i dont have to soot up my engine bay. This is what it looked like after i changed my water pump out and was gettign ready to put the turbo back on.... Flex hose and push loc fittings are awesome. I used alot of it for coolant/low pressure ps.

I paid $10 for a new v band clamp to replace the broken one. Pulled it out of the package today and it looks TWICE AS STRONG as the other one i paid $30 for. Also the clamp area is better designed. Original V band i broke came from ORIGIN MOTORSPORTS ON EBAY. THEY ARE SHIT. FUCK EM. DONT ORDER ANYTHING FROM THOSE GUYS. They are VERY dodgy when it comes to answering questions about their fab parts and boost goods...... This new clamp came from a seller called "SPEED DADDY".
I dont condone buying shit from ebay/china but in a pinch you do what the fuck you gotta do. "Speed daddy" clamp on the left. Origin motorsports clamp on the right. Fucking garbage.

Guess i'll go put my downpipe back on now.
-
does the 'beefier' one use drilled pins and a standard bolt?
The cheapo ones I have have look like the smaller one in your pic
once the threads rust and the stud snaps it's garbage.
The latest one I got, there were two pins with the strap wrapped around them
one had a through hole and one tapped.
If the bolt broke, take it out and replace the bolt.
Glad you're back.
Fuck You
-
Lol. Well fuck you too!
The beefy one looks like the bolt goes all the way through and was welded in on the backside.
The shitty one? I haven't looked at it. It just looks to be pinned and bushed. To be honest i didn't put alot of torque on it. When i was backing it off (like i had done about 4 or 5 times before) it started to catch and eventually snapped at the thread. Nylock wouldn't even turn..... I'll save it and repair it later. Who knows? Might put a full exhaust on this bitch someday. I have work out a better manifold arrangement for it but that's months or maybe even a year or so away. Idk. Hope what i got works and isn't too mental at cruise speeds/rpm. Nothing says "i got the powah pull me over pig" like an open downpipe turbo car.
Nevermind the tuner studio mess. Easytherm was on some fuck shit and wouldn't cooperate. I went and rigged up a brand new gm sensor. Corvette 98 iirc and it fit in the old nissan temp sensors spot just fine. Did the appropriate cut and crimp so no more worries about inaccurate sensor readings. Open element ait already in the charge pipe. Wideband in the downpipe.
Following need to be tested before the first start:
CAS adjustment/ 6 slot pickup (MS LED OFF/ON around 10* btdc for static timing)
INJECTORS (simple on off sprits of 93 will do it for me on both banks rotating the cas by hand)
PROPER SPARK to verify (-) (+) correct on COIL. I know my transistor is proper, If coil gets warm i know i got it backward and if it blows i have 2 spare.
FUEL PUMP RELAY triggers ON with ignition key/ms
IGN SWITCH RUN/ACC/START EC CONTINUITY (making sure ecu does what it's supposed to for both these phases)
I did add a relay to the starter as well as the coil. Can't have them drawing direct from fuse boxes or batt/switch without one....well for my peace of mind anyway. Most of the ones used are NISSAN units. They are robust, last forever, handle a good bit of current and if you wish not to use nissan plugs, standard spades work fine! $12 for automotive relay at parts store. $6 for 5 of them from china. Free for as deep as your pockets are at the junkyard. In some of the older trucks they are weatherproofed. Nice bonus.
Oh, just incase anyone is wondering about the delslow, that's a family friend's car. Diff or something is fucked in it. She's auto. Bone stock. My brother is negotiating a buy on it. He wants to do some dirty thirds boosted and flip it. Totally down to help with that so maybe you might see more of that car.
-
sounds like work is happening and shit is getting ironed out. i like.
i wanna see this thing run and some dyno numbers :noel:
-
I Would dispense great feces in my shoes seeing that go down after all this time/work. Still no idle. Not surprising. First megasquirt. Fresh motor/fuel lines/all that shit....and mother nature. Because i should have bought a carport and enclosed it years ago....fucking idiot. Less about me failing. More about the car's progress as of this immediate moment.
I pulled the number one plug wire and stuck it to the strut tower. Maybe my ignition relay isn't right or what. I'm not sure. the 4th crank over she ALMOST started yet plug on strut tower yields no spark.
She's not acting like she's 180 out. I popped the dizzy cap off and i'm verifying number 1 at tdc on compression stroke. Well was before it started raining. Here i sit. Hey, random phat ass white girl with crazy hair and tats...

I will have to check my coil relay as well. DIdn't want to direct draw so i have some fatty 12 gauge running that straight from the batt to relay to coil. Triggering from 12v on a 20a fuse. Maybe that fuse quit? Bout to give that a lookover too and make sure it's operating.
Maybe today, maybe tomorrow. Nothing want's to cooperate.
Good news is both sensors and my wideband are functioning IN THE CAR. Map sensor is reading correctly. Injectors are firing (may try simulaneous injection over alternating batch fire? anyone object?) and i def have cas signal to the megajizz and she DOES crank and DID act like she wanted to start. Could play with cranking pulswidth also. May be too high...
My dick literally twitched when i heard exhaust pulse from the downpipe when she was being a tease...... I'm still shaking thinking about it. I saw her "side boob" for the first time.

The disappointing and horrified look on faces i wish i could have seen. Feelings i had when i was told to "google blue waffle" and was stupid enough to do it. More or less that was in response to nigger this, nigger that. It's not nearly as offensive as using google with the safe search off, scrolling and wanting to gouge the top half of your own head off with a buck knife.....
There had better not be dick chick in this thread. *angry stare*
Back on motherfuckin topic. Lol. Played around with tuner studio settings to get somewhere and still not much improvement. I dunno what the fuck. I haven't got a clue. This is why we troubleshoot. THe cas disk is under a plate held in by two screws. This thing is so fucking old i had to drill one out. My drill had it's chance to have the cord repaired today over it. I swear if anyone saw that short out and my reaction they would have died laughing. Here's what i found. Of course it's 60* trigger six slot as i expected. THe fact there's a square slit and 5 normal slits may have me onto something.....i hope. Bout to get the decoder disk and go get some more distributors maybe. Asked questions, did some more homework and hopefully a solution is found soon.

Get this. Spark plug one doesn't arc off at all. That square is right under plug one. Check my sharpie mark for the cyl 1 point. I will try testing out on the others tomorrow hopefully! If this is the issue i'll be pumped. When i did this procedure the engine acted like it wanted to go into "RUN". When i was taking this apart the rotor screw was allowing the rotor to rattle around freely.....hmmmmmm! So maybe trigger sync with the falling edge of the square and the other 5 slits is off enough to mess with things and i just need to do a bit more adjustment.....so i hope.

J30 sohc 3rd gen maxima dizzy. The square slot is about 160* away from the end of the rotor. Where as the other dizzy was right under the end of the rotor. Maybe 5* in relation to it.
That's irrelevant considering i'm still getting tach signal/injector click click. Just no spark output. Either it's the coil (ohm'd out to fsm spec so doubtful), coil wiring (poles mixed up?) or my board connections for my coil driver (onboard unit) are incorrect DESPITE following the manuals instructions the letter..... So in fear of washign my rings down i unplugged power to the injectors and am focusing solely on spark now....
It's now 7pm so banks are closed. TOmorrow i'll be ordering my LC-1. Bpsx is officially on some fuck shit. Will read some numbers. Just not display afr. I calibrated it once and it was giving me 13.80 or something in the pipe (slam full of fuel vapor). Then i cut the car off and it goes back to reading weird shit like it was during pre-calibration. Now it wont read AFR at all regardless of button mashing sequences and i'd like nothing more than to string Rick P up from the nearest tree with the wire harness from it. That's my experience with it. Fucking junk. Didn't fuck with ego/wideband switch points either. Still at 100kpa for open loop to run off my fueling tables.

Getting spark and almost idle. Either not enough air, shit fuel, combo of both.
D5 on my board wasn't jumpered. I had the option to do that or not do that. Diagram didn't show it. Jumped it and got spark. Improvement over yesteraday.
Def have a fuel line leak. Probably did not tighten a clamp down fully. My drain line is leaking also leading me to believe i AM getting oil pressure. Pickup is doing it's job.
I am NOT running an idle air control valve at the moment. WIre ran, just no provisions. Broke the bolt off for it unless i can make something to tap into one of the various large threaded ports doing nothing on my intake..... idk. I'm pretty drunk, exhausted, i have OFF! on, alot of it. Mosquitos are like inches from my face. I'll see what happens in the morning. Gonna hit a few people up and see wtf i'm doing wrong.
I do have the tps open somewhat to allow a little bit of air to get in. I give it some more go pedal (slight amount, maybe 10 percent) and she dies. Longest idle was 10 seconds. She blat blats so hard at 850 rpm.

I have never ran an IAC with MS and never had problems getting it to idle.
Are you working off of a base map or just the default starting point in tuner studio?
Have you set your req fuel? Verified timing matches on MS and engine? Turned off all the accell enrichments, Ego control etc? Really, if you are starting from scratch, you want to turn off everything that controls fuel. Do this until you begin to get the map dialed in.
Also, I have a pretty sweet dash I made up for TS if you want it. The stock gauge layout sucks.

That's pretty sick. The font hurts my eyes though.
My standard settings were off. Required fuel was spot on though. i did go off a basemap from someones 2010 shit. 370cc map. I used their standard settings and changed required fuel for my injectors. However i found this today and was way the fuck off track. Have since changed settings for rx7 injectors and see where that gets. Battery died. Pathfinder wouldn't charge it (brand new battery, i just drained it the past 3 days of trying to get it to run) and i will pick it up from advanced auto tomorrow. If they weren't 800 feet from my house i'm not sure what i'd do.
Here's what i found on hybridz.com in their megasquirt section. Giving credit where it's due because i didn't come up with this shit on my own. http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/55910-injector-opening-times-spread-sheet/ (http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/55910-injector-opening-times-spread-sheet/) I had pw current percent jacked up to 100%. pw threshold was at something stupid high like 20 or something. I forget. I've spent no less than 40 hours on tuner studio in the past 4 days going through stuff and seeing what i may have fucked up and cross reffing wherever i can. I do know base timing is like 20* at 750 rpm. Some have gone to 12-15* at 750rpm and been fine. I could NOT find a stock map. I spent maybe 8 months looking without luck.
Ordered my LC1 thismorning. I would like to know what my brief whatever idle is at. I contacted bpsx, let em know what was up and they're helping me out in my best interest. That's fucking legit. So yeah, haters gonna hate i guess and then try to sway others to feel the same. You know what happens to stupid fucking lambs? They get a nail in the head and turn into rugs and chops. Dont let that be you.

Ah, new new news.
First thing i changed was my injector settings to rx7 injectors. Granted na fc injectors are actually 460cc, not 450cc. Someone got their numbers wrong. But i tweaked around with that and things got better.
That yielded way stronger start up. Like she wants to run. I know she's roughly in time. When i kill the fuel pump she'll draw all the remainder of the pressure out of the line and idle until there's no more gas. I cut the pump on and she drowns/floods. When i open the throttle the slightest bit to add some air, she dies.
Plugs are gapped to .30 Spent 3 hours fucking around today in the heat trying to get things sorted just chasing my own ass in circles so maybe i'll find some more intell to help out. Would love to get a nice smooth idle. Been hearing it COULD be my distributor STILL. Fucksake i got two of em. Both do about the same shit on this car. Both came from the same engine and have the same optical pickup. Just the square slot is in different locations. MS probably resets using that.
Now i'm using standard MSNS distributor "ON" at the moment. What happens if i use this setting?

I set my required fuel as high as 680cc (460cc are in there mind you) and was still getting too much fuel. I mean if it wanted to act like it was gonna idle after i killed the fuel pump i figured i ask. Fingers were pointed at my regulator. I get back from doing some errands, pop the hood, yank the vac line off and sure enough, fuel.
This would be time to upgrade vs throwing in a stock one.
Edit: I did trim my ve tables down and was trying to go off 18*-20* timing. This pains me because good fprs are NOT cheap. If you know of good workign cheap ones do hit me up. I'll go cdm IF the shit is rebuildable with legit parts.

MS1 :-[
I got 2 ms2 processors kickin around. Bought one cause I thought I blew one then I upgraded to ms3.
Can you put a ms2 processor in a v2.2 board?
-
No idea. From what i'm seeing i'd need the whole ms2 daughtercard package. I will do that IF it comes to it but it's pushing it at this point. I gotta put tires on it and start bleeding/burping stuff after i get the idle/low throttle/off boost part done.
I'll be giving the trigger disk a drop in ONLY if i can't get everything right after the fuel pressure reg and new wideband are put on.

Just going through the normal stuff. No two cars are alike. I can't say much about the dizzy stuff because the intel is skattered and inconclusive. I still have to take apart both my dizzys for a thread regarding the sleeve orientation for the rotor/disk. Trigger disk either way seems to have nothing to do with what's going on right now. If it does, i'm prepared.

Look at the square slot in relation to the rotor. I hope you can see why i was chasing ignition issues first. I had no spark for two days then found out the clocking was different between both of these dizzys even though they come from the same engine (vg30e).
I created a timing loop so if it falls below a certain point timing advances and increases rpm. I dont have an iacv. I know, that's retarded too. Reading faq's, writeups and instruction manuals is always retarded....
Picked up the trigger wheel because i can. I wont fuck with it until after the new reg is installed. I'm going to see what 30psi at idle does on the original map with the new wideband config setup then sending the msq off to a trusted advisor for review before i proceed.
I did some more body painting about 2 days ago. Got a hobo shade tent to drag over me when i start wiring the lights/windows and shit. Forgot to mention it i think..... Whatever. Blue wheels is not working well with this but whenever i got time i'll fix that too.

Installed all but trigger disk. The control is to get it as close as i can with an oem first. The timing loop i'm generating is still not proper. CLoser. Was actually able to get out of the car today and look at the laptop while she was purring, no crazy bratatata coming out of it. Just smooth running. As soon as my eyes hit screen, stalled out. I'm damn close.

The little shim the rotor sleeve and disk sits on needs one of the alignment tabs cut off. I MIGHT cut off both. Infinite position clocking regardless of distributor so the canadian z31 faggots can choke on it for trying to tell me what to do. MEgasquirt doesn't give a fuck about the square slot. It's only picking up trailing edge and my trigger log looks normal to me with the oe disk.

Whats left to do?
-
Secure battery (it just sits in the back d/s corner of my trunk for now)
Tuck interior wiring, finish wiring switches for lights.
Tires......
Mount harnesses.
Bleed ps (wont be able to until i can get the car to idle)
Hood pins and new radiator support. Right now shit is just sitting in place there.
Wire windows up, maybe single speed wiper nig nog rig setup too.
Rucas and traction rods. Both need to match in length for adjustment to keep geometry consistent. Traction rod on the car now are stock. Rucas are aftermarket but the heims are fucked. Idk yet. It's $45 for new rucas shipped and about $38 shipped for traction rods. CDM of course. If they last a year they'll have paid for themselves.
......Other than the obvious lack of tuning/idle, that's it.
-
What are Rucas?
-
Rear upper control arm. Needed for camber adjustment on these cars. However, you can only adjust so much before you completely fuck up the geometry and that's where the traction rod adjustment comes in. They move in an arc together.
This is the subframe oriented how it would sit on the car. The curved arm is the ruca. Strut goes up through there to the chassis. It's bolted to the knuckle. Knuckle is bolted to lca. The traction rod is the shorter orange rod on the left. The toe rod is the long orange rod on the right.

Orientation on vehicle for better idea how they work together. Ignore the adjustable rear lower control arm (triangular gold arm) as i wont be running those. Modded and boxed oem is plenty strong and good enough for what i want to do.

I'll be putting screen shots up here and there when i'm not feeling lazy. Here's the map i'm trying to mess with.
the obvious cells are from 100kpa and under between 500-700-1300. That's where i'm trying to create my timing loop for idle.
This base uses an iacv. I haven't tweaked it up on the car yet. Just put this one together.
Want to do this too. http://www.d-series.org/forums/diy-forum/95756-diy-electronic-detonation-detection-det-cans-under-25-dollars.html (http://www.d-series.org/forums/diy-forum/95756-diy-electronic-detonation-detection-det-cans-under-25-dollars.html) stock nissan knock sensors are garbage.

Forgot the timing map....
This will be the one i play with tomorrow.

Fuel pressure reg drops from 40 to 0 real quick after i shut the car off. Gas pissing all over the underside of the car near the tank... Might have something to do with it. Fuckin v band leaks pre 02 sensor now.
Longest idle today with timing advance higher up than the above map was 16 seconds. Was able to get a loop. Just was losing more power than gaining it. Probably had some knock going on too.... I did opt to let my wb02 handle fuel below a certain tps value much like the oems do. That helped smooth it a little but still surged back and fourth to the point of stall. Target afr in idle load/rpm ranges are between 14.7 and 14.3. Because batch fire i may target a little richer. Actual afr before i noticed shit was pissing out of the car (exhaust/fuel) was hugging between 13.8 and 14.9
Little bit closer.

Sounds like something isn't sync'd right if you needed more timing that that map
-
Mechanical timing is anywhere from 15-20* at 750rpm at idle factory
I was running too much timing in the idle ranges. 16* starting out then advancing gradually to 18* as rpm picked up worked better. That is why my first map was thrown out in favor of this one to play with.
Obviously i'm putting timing at 10* in boost because chicken shit...... Worked for another vg30et msns'er running 22psi to redline just fine so i took their advice to use that as a start point for boost timing. Off boost timing is pretty ballpark.
I do believe you're right. I did move my dizzy around a little and she's getting better. Again, the falling edge of the square slot is dead even with the slits and that's what ms is told to pick up via tuner studio via my lil' panky finger.
Ran around a little bit trying to get tires that fit (the fuck 17's impossible to find in good sizes on craigs for these days?), car is ass up right meow while i sort this fuel leak. Black widows. Wasps. it's a total fucking deathtrap.
Before i forget the following items are now on their way:
1. Fragola 45* push loc -10an. Oil drain line's leaky as fuck standard -10 cdm off brand swivel fitting will be thrown at high velocity at the next asshat ricer who runs past my house like they got a pair.
2. Sturrin wheel and hub. I can't heel toe proper with the oe steering wheel in comfort. If i dont feel comfortable in the car, what's the point? Steering wheel is woodgrain as fuck, 350mm and will be overnighted literally from japan. No telling how many slant eye hands have beasted the mountain or wrecked their shit over a curb into a palm tree with that thing. Hopefully it brings the car some good karma and keeps my knee from screaming fuck you at me......
3. RUCA/TRACTION RODS. Never seen em before. Ruca has pinch bolt style locking mechanism which i like. We'll see how those are when they get here. Paid $89 shipped for new product listed as "s13 camber kit" on ebay. Take that you jdm whore's who stumbled upon this thinking this shit is ultra jdm, ya fgtsssssss.
4. My GFORCE scca/sfi appoved harnesses came without the shoulder strap mount thingies. Ordered a pair from summit. Cost me about $15. That's good because the passenger can rock the 2" sabelt standard single clasp harness i have and i can use the complicated bulky 3" gforce. Coincidentally, i sold the one that came with the car for the same price i bought this one for. So shit will be safe. I need seatbelts. I can't drive my best if i dont feel comfortable and safe.
Uh....that's about all i got. I'll snap some shots from under the car at my ruca/coilover/subframe shit so you can see how it looks. Def not rust treated or baller...... Proud of my bright ass green coilovers though. They ever blow i'm sending em to fortune auto so they can work their magic. I have a place about 5 minutes from my address i can weigh my car. Cornerbalance is a different story.
Yes i post intoxicated. Just from now on not in the efi section of rhmt. Jd threatened to shove the bus up my ass with great force, powdered graphite as lubricant.

What do you mean anywhere from 15-20? You need to hold the timing in the MS and then set it at the engine. It shouldn't be fluctuating like that when your trying to set it.
-
Sweet deal man. Ready for some ripper vids......
-
Yeah. Feels like it should be about that time, huh?
Fuckin fuel still pissing out from the rear of the car. I tightened the clamps that i thought were the culprits and even added a back up clamp. Still leaks at the same spot. I think it may have something to do with shit clamps, shit quality line or the fact that pump can now flow what it's rated for. PO had that big bastard pulling juice from oe 18 gauge wiring on the stock relay. I fed it some 10 gauge and the relay is maybe 6" from the pump.
This is the problem area..... Lucky me the wasps had eaten all the spiders leaving cobwebs.

You can see the gas on that plastic shit.
My idle is fluctuating because my fuel pressure is fluctuating. That's a good thing. I got a really strong idle and it sounded about stable. I was jumping into my 1000rpm range this time then stalling again from what i'm 99.9 percent is fuel starvation because the line blew leak past clamps again after i thought i fixed it. Not only that but the gauge is showing pressure drop after i shut the car off. No fault to the regulator ::) Motherfucker.
Speaking of regulator. This is the cdm junk that came in it compared to the aeromotive part. That's disgusting and very unsettling they look like that fresh out of the box.

Anyway i didn't get any further because i dont need to be working on my car all hot and bothered. Auto parts store was closed anyway.
Took a shot of my actual rear suspension while i had it up in the air.

About that ignition timing i threw out there: You can stab the dizzy in a way the motor is STEADY at 20* give or take at 750rpm. I have seen some get theirs to run at 15* at 750rpm. Base mechanical timing has to be close in order for my tables to work properly. Some of these motors it's as if nissan went out to lunch stamping the degree marks in some pulleys. Some motors run at 15* (according to marks) and others run as high as 22* (again, according to marks) at constant idle rpm/kpa/vac.
Hope that clears up confusion there.
Some more random filler. Here's what my optical trigger log looks like during cranking/tease run. The gap is where the car stalled and i started cranking again. That's about the best i can log. Have megalog veiwer on my pc. Tuner studio says it's not and then wont let me re-download so whatever. idk.....

I can't figure out why you have known fuel issues and still keep trying to make the car run.
My order of business would be
1. Fix fuel issues
2. Lock timing in the ecu
3. Adjust distributor till it matches the map
4. Profit
You are chasing your tail not locking down some of these variables.
-
Fucker, i thought i FIXED the issue. Turns out it wasn't rubber line leakage.
I stopped tuning. Car was running fine up until fuel found another weak link. Corrosion in the hard line caused it to crack. bout 1-2 feet of the return and feed have thick ass cake rust on top of em......
See the pic i posted. If you look at the plastic clip thing that holds the hard line against the frame rail, that's where the fuel is actually coming out. Just got back with a rented flare tool, some compression unions and some hard line.
The issues present themselves. It's not rocket science. Cas issue handled. Fuel pressure regulator handled. Fuel line fail.....being handled. Just had the shits and for some reason continue drinking icehouse in this heat. Probably so i dont kill anyone who stops by and says "it run yet?!"
-
Not to be prude Phil but if you had to lock timing values in (disregard cranking) between 0 and 1000rpm on a car supposed to run factory around 20ish* btdc @750, where would you lock it in? It seems to like 17* alot before it stalls out dropping to 18-19* cells. I tried that after i fixed the fuel line and re-adjusted the regulator's base pressure.
I spent maybe an hour messing with it before the battery died and i opted to clean up all the in-cabin efi gear and hook up all the safety and function switches. Dont need a cd player or storage tray so i cut up a license plate with tin snips and started making a place to mount the ignition switch, lighting controls and h20 sprayer. Saw no reason to have all this shit laid out when i know it all works.
-
A decent running engine doesn't care too much about where timing is at idle. Just make the map match the timing light on the crank, then go to town. I have sent timing way off of 16° on Hondas in both directions while trouble shooting idle issues. You can't hurt anything at idle.

You went there. Fuck. I got tagged in that yesterday on fb too but thanks for the laughs.
First smile i've had in a couple hours considering i didn't do my ground wires as well as i could have behind the dash (switch panels/relays for lights/kill switches/water sprayer pump/etc) and cooked some shit testing my head lamps...... Nothing crucial. Just really fucking aggravating because the ONE WIRE That melted was a ground and melted into some 12v+ sections of that harness...... Huge mess. Took everything i had to not slam my hood down like a baby when i shut down shop for the night.
Oh shit. New rear upper control arms and traction rods came in. They are off brand but the design isn't like others i've seen and they dont use those shitty spherical style threaded pre-fab homosex "ohmgzrockcrawlrz" ching chong joints that dont have a service life of 3 months..... These look like the GOOD ching chong joints that come in blox racing honda rear lower control arms and several others. Nearly oem durability by design. I'm thrilled with these parts on out the box impression by design alone. The pinch bolt on these is something i also dont see on units in this price range. WHoever made these is a boss. "s13/s14 camber kit" is what they were sold to me as. I'm always happy when i dont have to be paranoid about a wheel falling off or something when i'm ripping that clear pink dildo from 3rd to 2nd without rev matching.

1. part number 195500-1350. Those are my injectors. They are LOW IMPEDANCE. Fucktard on rx7club shipped them to me and told me they were high impedance. Flyback circuit in route as of 3 hours ago for the ms. Lucky me the damage was minimal and my old as v2.2 technology was able to not melt anything.
2. CYlinder six injector wont open. No injectors leak. The other 5 prime pulse and spray fine turning cas over by hand. I had them chilling in an oil drip pan. Trying to find one or two tonight and order them hoes so i can get shit done.
3. Street legal wiring is done niggers. Signals, head lights, brake lights, all that shit. I fried/burnt up quite a bit. Lots of fuses, one switch, lots of wire. Led indicator grounds for my switches were pulling too much current through the switch baking the shit out of em and poping fuse. Then my dumbass accidentally created a feedback loop to my efi fuse box to where if i had the master power cut the ecu would stay on "mysteriously" but only pull 5.5V instead of 12.00 (what my battery reads with very little cca) and up.
4. Not even worried about the pressure bleed off on the reg now. When i was getting those 10 second idle times (on 5 cylinders none the less with NO PULSEWIDTH MODULATION BECAUSE WRONG FUCKING IMPEDANCE) she would hold steady pressure because of the pump being on. Either the ball valve seat inside the reg is ground half assed or my fuel filter is allowing pressure to bleed of. It's not leaking from lines, the tank or the injectors!
See yall motherfuckers soon with some pics of this issue being resolved and shortly after a start up/idle vid....i fucking hope.
UPDATE: Got a pair of used injectors on the way. Paid $60 for em. Hopefully ONE of them works. FML. Fuckin new set of four runs like $300. Fuck all that. Also picked up a $10 60w soldering iron that comes with a 30 day money back/1 year warranty replacement. The 20 or 40w weller i have isn't great for circuit boards at all. Takes forever to join wires which is why my interior has crimps galore in the harness. No fucks are given. Flyback board was a whopping $34 shipped from diyautotune.
Dont ask but i'm using a mustang 2.3L fox body fuel filter. I bought it for my brothers car a looooong time ago and figured i'd just run it. Hiprofile suggested i pinch off the feed line first then the return line and see which way the pressure bleed is going. I will do this after i slap a new injector in the rail and have my flyback installed. Meanwhile i can clean this up and install some more shit that needs installing.
Current state of the interior.

So it turns out my hardware install was fine. Codebase was fine. Problem with All fucking six of my 259cc's are gummed up to the point they wont click on/off. They ohm out so i have a good chance of them not being paperweights.
Matt had me reflash my ecu thinking static could have corrupted it. After my reflash, I grab my test bench injector i was clicking off the stim board earlier and slap that into the harness and set it in the pan. Rotate cas and it clicks on and off juuuuuuust fine. Fuckin horseshit!
Documenting text so i can look back on this and stab myself in the back of the face with brick. 2 to 3 days until more injector gets here......fuck. Those dont work and i'm gonna lose my shit. Pr0nz for all that shit text about injectors.

So what I have done in the past is grab a vacuum cap that fits over the end of the injector, poke a hole in it to fit the straw from a can of fuel injector cleaner through it. Put 2 aligator clips with some wire, or a extra fuel injector plug on it, grab your batt charger and turn it on, (this is where an extra pair of hands comes in handy) have your buddy do burst of fuel injector cleaner while you tap the aligator clips or wire leads on the batt charger to simulate the on and off....lol I've actually cleans up a few set if injectors pretty well that way.
-
For that i am very glad i opted to get a jimstim. Allows me to run whatever i want in "test bench" mode if you will. One more reason for me to not have regrets about getting a megasquirt. I fucking love this thing.
You ever do this on injectors that were unresponsive like mine? Would you suggest soaking them fully submerged overnight would be a good idea? Thanks.
I forgot to mention my toe rods came in yesterday morning. Ups woke me up actually. They are what you'd expect for $40. Only worth mentioning because even though i've lengthened my traction rods that run ahead of the ruca, i still have copious amounts of rear toe in. I'll eyeball the best i can and get to someone who will do what i want. Few generic/corporate alignment places i called told me they wont do my alignment as i ask. What the fuck happened to the customer being right?
-
My dad had a fuel injected boat with a stuck injector once. We pulled it, hooked a 9v battery to it and let it sit in a cup of seafoam over night. Works perfectly now.
-
I'll be doing something about it soon. Thanks for the tips. I've seen some pretty cool rigs people put up on youtube but aint nobody got time for that. I dont anyway.
-
I had rx-7 ones that wouldn't open. gently pushed on the pintle while tapping a 9volt battery to it, boiled it in water, don't remember what order. opened it up and it seemed to work after that so I dumped them on cl

Probably did something stupid. Only change was batt correction was sent to 0.20, pwm current percent was maxed to 100 to disable pwm (for high impedance) and pwm time was 25.4 m/s. I ran the unit for maybe 2 hours the other night. changed back to my old tune specifiic to these injectors and cooked part of the power supply. New one en route. Had to order a lot of 30.... fff. Also desoldered the flyback and my bro took this cd player apart to scavenge a temp cap from. Working that job now....

I about shit myself when i smelled burning......thought something in the house was on fire. Smelled the ecu, kinda smelled burnt. Was able to losen the screws and move the case and smoke poured out. I'm getting very lucky with not burning up shit terribly bad. Fuck. I need to catch a break though. Ecu was running off the stim (no injector installed) with the new settings for 15 minutes before that cap said fuck you and quit.

Sooooo ecu works. I'm running two high impedance injectors on the stim here. NOTHING WARM.

Almost certain a ball of solder on the cap (i thought was chunk of the cap initially) caused the failure.

And while waiting on this i made a battery strap. 15 mins into that little project. It's drilled and painted. Just have to cut some all thread up to put mounting studs in the trunk.
I'm digging into why the coil was acting a fool now.
Update on coil: Feedback loop 2 discovered.
Relay directs power from the MS fuse box to the coil. Relay is constant ground/constant 12v trigger at the fuse box, not the ignition switch. DERP. Hard rain and quality time with some peoples held me up yesterday. I hope to report back with a running, idling car here in the next hour or two. Fuuuck, wish me luck.

:noel:
Belts are covered in rotella right now. Not sure if it's the drain line bulkhead, the front main or the oil pump. It's leaking from that general area.
14.2ish afr at 750 rpm and it hovers arount 18* timing. Dont have a light so i'll have to borrow one and guestimate because i run no lower timing cover. Top most oil pump bolt sits right under where the indicator arrow used to be though. =D
Timing loop works fantastic. Fucking stoked.
-
Front bits of the motor started getting torn out. Manifold is last to come out and it was too hot outside to mess with it.
Front main was the culprit. I jacked it up, started it and got in close. It LOOKS like it's pouring from the drain line but actually the front main is giving the bulkhead a golden shower......

It's blamed on the quality of the seal. New casted pump from god knows where, not a rebuilt oem and the seal was pre-pressed. Shit blew out/tore/ripped, idk. Chuck of it is sitting right there on the crank snout.... Now how to remove without pulling the oil pump.....
Turbo has glorious endplay.......
-
Ran the car earlier this evening. No leaks from the front main. Awesome. Bunch of rust was in there when i removed the old seal. Betting that had something to do with the failure. I cleaned all that out with steel wool and an emory board. I used copper gasket spray on my manifold and the v band flange, let the car idle for about 15 minutes to warm up and no moar exhaust leaks. Car idles in the 13's now. I left the laptop indoors yet again so dunno how low the kpa/vac is
Turbo has some end play in it. I took it apart for inspection, reassembled it, it's tighter now but still needs to be serviced. Couldn't run the car without a turbo in place because o2 and loud and top mount and danger so yeah. Got a lead on a turbo that's smoking but bearings still useable for a price i'm willing to pay. T3/t4 same super 60 config as mine just without the bells and whistles external add on bits like the adjustable gate and v band 5 bolt internal gate adapter.

Cartridge is the same. Everything looks good here. Bearings need replacing but that's no biggie. Same as any other t3/t04e hybrid.

Trunk pins?

They came with the car. A trunk latch did not but for some reason the lock cylinder is still there.

Well now i has alternator issues. Internally regulated 3 wire not counting the ground.
I have no dummy light in my dash between the plug on the alternator (voltage sense and exciter leads). Maybe one of you cool bros has a solution? I can't even find a dummy light at the store. Regular bulb wont work because they go off resistance between a ground and a hot.
Charge lights are 12v hot in, 12v hot out.
Solutions. I can't keep borrowing an external charger for this. Voltage drops to 11.2 while runnin. Alternator is good though.
In other news power steering sounded like a flock of geese so i didn't drive yesterday. The pump is working. I'm bleeding the ps system AGAIN and will bleed the coolant system AGAIN. I had the radiator propped up about 5" higher than the highest point of the cooling system for 15 minutes bleeding air. Temps running are slowly getting to comfortable levels the more i do so.
going over my alternator/starter harness right now. It's been hot as hell all day. 99.9 percent sure me not having a charge light is my issue. Not sure if a number 194 bulb would do the trick but i'm about to find out
-
Alternator was bad. Replaced it. Now at 13.4 volts with car idling. I'm using a 194 bulb as my charge light and it works as it should. No resistors or diodes needed.
Got a timing light on the motor and adjusted to 15*. Did about 3 laps around the block, spun tires. Still feels mad sluggish and uncomfortable for rippers.
At about 30* of lock and higher my ps pump groans like hell. May re-tension the belt and see if that helps as i've bled it ALOT. Front end needs adjusting suspension wise and i need to secure my fenders with some self tapping screws. 3 bolts isn't enough.
Yesterday i was idling at 16.2 afr at full temp pulling 50kpa vac.
Now i'm idling at 14.2 afr at full temp pulling 42 kpa vac. All i changed was base timing and messed with warm up enrichment.
I got to drive it for the first time in over 2 years. Magical feels.
-
Made a fresh tune from scratch today since i had no other option. manually tuned using my dashboard gauges and my innovate. Decel enrichment is now OFF and accel enrichment is tps based now instead of map/kpa based. 02 sensor in my downpipe is only there for my eyes from this point forwards. Explanation after the video links.....

(http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff457/potatoesbarnaby/VID_20130902_122929_zps0231a146.mp4)
Autotune did something to mess up some of my saved tunes as well as mess up how the software operates normally, even though auto tune is turned OFF.
My voltage readings/lambda the megasquirt gives out on it's gauge is all over the place and reads richer than the motor actually is so when autotuning the ve table leans shit out to the point the car will stall in idle. Autotune also messed somethign up in tuner studio to where sometimes i'm unable to track load cells for certain tables.
Throttle response is there. Could be better but it's what i'd expect from a stock motor to the letter. ZERO 02 related corrections go on unless it's me loading a cell, watching my innovate and going off that.
-
How is your plugs? are you getting misfires? Your timing where it needs to be? this would cause your AFRs to be all over the place.
So would a leaking oil seal on turbo. :?: :noel:
-
AFR on wideband=good and stable.
AFR on megasquirt's voltage/lambda=reading far richer than what it actually is
Letting ms do any sort of o2 correction while it's like that would be bad.
My ve table, coolant temp and tps control pulsewidth/fuel. All 02 based ms features are and will be disabled until i figure out what the actual fuck but i can drive on this map now if i want to.
Shit. Sorry. I didn't answer all your questions. Turbo surprisingly doesn't leak from the compressor or the exhaust. I'm not seeing or hearing any exhaust leaks. No misfires now. Actually the misfires i was getting was due to unburned fuel in the exhaust. It was obvious. Timing is where it needs to be. For this motor base timing is 15* btdc and that's exactly where i set it with a timing light.
Most of the misfire issues i had were from dumping entirely too much fuel inside of a hot exhaust. Decel enrichment and tip in were the cause of that i believe. Played with the ve table, fuel pressure, timing, everything on several different mappings. Turning decel off and changing accel enrichment from MAP DOT to TPS DOT and tweaking the graph fixed quite a bit.
-
I know jack and shit about megasquirt*
Does megasquirt have a serial logging option, or is it only through an analog input?
Try to set it up serial and eliminate all confusion
Otherwise you have to match analog output settings to scaling settings in your software, and make sure your ground is proper or you will get this type of behavior.
This is a common issue with Hondas using ectune/Crome etc when people do not ground their Ecu or wideband properly, or have something noisy grounded with either Ecu or wideband
-
Your first question i do not have the answer to entirely.
There is a pin on the ms harness db37 connector for analog input. It's very possible i'm having ground interference. All ecu sensors are grounded to the same spot. MS itself is grounded to another spot. It could be a settings issue also.
Good place to start troubleshooting. Thank you.
-
Ps issues fixed. Yay. Lets go for a drive.
lets go for a drive. Power steering works. Wastegate is hooked up but not super tight. In boost! She could have some more timing and less fuel in some areas of the ve table. Just hit boost once or twice up to 5500 and let off. Built about 3-4 psi, dont want to hook my bov off because it sounds cooler but if i'm going to keep this up it'd be a good idea to stop stalling the wheel on purpose.
No dirty thirds. Just a few pulls. I need a full tank and fixing some rich spots because still getting rat tat tats. down low. I didn't run enough into it to kill anything i hope. Compression test tomorrow and check plugs. Timing conservative and afrs mid 12's.
Playing "just the tip" have my hands shaking still.
edit/update: stayed up late last night, woke up late this afternoon. My car wont turn for shit so i really need to raise it a little and also adjust my caster/tension rods so my tires aren't hitting the back of the wheel well. *sigh* good times. Also found out i had my stoich afr setting off in my megasquirt. What the computer sees and what my wideband sees may be varying over that. I double checked my grounds and all is well. I noticed no change when grounding the wideband to the block, to the chassis or with all the other sensor grounds. Not getting in the car again for pulls til my power windows work.

Ok, so my super 60 ching chong meow when i pulled it off from running it anyway with bad play in it didn't damage the wheels. I may keep it and do some work to it as in the other thread i have up.
Power windows, interior lights and sunroof now work. .57 trim with warranty now on the way. Flossin' :noel:
-
So no holset then?
-
Not any time soon unfortunately. I couldn't push enough parts to raise the funds to do it in a timely manner.
This company i ordered from is on some next level shit. I'm stoked. More on that later though.
-
DO WORK!
-
Turbo arrived. ran out of daylight before i could prep for a run. Oil drain isn't on yet and i haven't fixed my oil gauge/turbo feed T or done the needed fender surgery yet. It's got 12 gallons of 93 in it meow and fresh rotella, granted i probably could have put 87 in the bitch and gotten away with it. Can't use all the boost. ::)
Break in procedure instructions......
4500 rpm at low boost for first 500 miles
*check turbo*
Full rev range at NORMAL driving at wastegate pressure (assuming 7-10 psi?) for another 1500
*check turbo again*
Anal rape blat blat pew pew with all teh boostz at the 2000 mile mark
*check again*
More anal rape
I got the job so daily driving 32 miles back and fourth to work every day should get me somewhere. Either back on jackstands or very well tuned.... Phone wouldn't upload anything but i'll be on it tomorrow morning tiding up.
-
Whole bottom of car ripped out.
I reconfigured my oil feed T and still no pressure at gauge. I gave a very light rev while looking at the gauge and stopped. Tried bleeding it while cranking, stopped, unplugged everything and watched for puddle while cranking, stopped...
Oil in filter is clean, oil i drained was filthy..... Engine SEEMS ok with this for now. Dropping pan when i have a moment. I had a massive headache today and did as much as i could. I'll be back with the results later. Getting another engine isn't a problem. The events surrounding this are going to be a problem though. Boo-hoo. Back to work!
-
Man, you never get a break.
-
Dropped pan, dug around in the sending port with a zip tie, found nothing gross. Oh and my pickup tube was subbed in 1.5" of oil. I extended it another 1" anyway. Screen had some shit on it so i inspected the pan for shavings, found none put the pan back on, started the car, waited about 20 seconds, no oil from sending unit port still.
I put the swap up for sale to deter me from unplugging the wastegate and doing some final rippers. Trust me, it was the first thing that came to mind which is why i test fired on jacks so i couldn't get mad and blow it up the right way. Last ditch effort to see if i can get some oil to a gauge/my turbo is to try a filter sandwich plate
-
Actually, i believe it's new longblock time.
I do have a spare oil pump. I jsut tore it down to inspect clearance and it's good. Teeth look good, everything nice.
It's pointless to put it on.
Engine runs stupid lean now. Backfires alot, white smoke from exhaust. Head gasket or rings or both are probably done from lack of oil pressure. Motherfuck. It's not the money issue, it's the time issue that's got me vexed.
-
I would just slap it back together and go do some rippers.
I lost my oil pump on a pass, shut down and may have saved the motor. If its done im raise the boost and let it go with style :evil:

Well homies, here's the verdict on the compression test:
Passenger side
1-180
3-150
5-145
Drivers side
2-175
4-160
6-175
All 6 spark plugs show no sign of det, just are black as shit from over-rich conditions. What do you think? Replace head gaskets (cylinder 3 and 5 having low numbers leads me to be suspect i may have damaged one) and investgate oil pump? I got the crane in front of the car now. It's too much of a pain to pull the mani and drop the pan with it still in.
Head gasket would coincide with my coolant temps fine and steady with no air bubbles at 182* idling for as long as i like to barely being able to hold idle going blat blat pew pew with funky ass lean afr (steam cleaning two cylinders maybe?) and my radiator pressure raising up high enough to start using the overflow within 15-20 seconds.
Vs bumping my thread i'll just add an update here:
I've got just about everything disconnected ready to come out aside from the mounts and shifter. It's kinda hot today so i've been drinking 32 ounces of water every 2 hours or so for sweet, sweet electrolytes. Pandora going on shuffle so on and so fourth. Prolly wont get to pull the heads today. Mine doesn't feel too great when i'm in the sun sweating with my arms over my head for lengthy periods of time. It's ok tho. I got my compression numbers, know i need to check my oil pump as soon as it's away from the block and these mysteries will be solved. I have a friend who's helping me find a guy machine my block if it indeed blew the gasket out between cylinder 3 and 5.
I MAY be on 2 day on 2 day off 12 hour work day for a total of 48-52 hours per week hopefully. Spring time i'm trying to get into some classes. my brother told me the instructor is a dick so just put up with his shit and get the certificates.
-
I'd copper spray some HG's and throw those bitches on there.
-
Yeah. That'd be the plan. Not sure if i used my good ol copper spray on when i rebuilt it or not. Will be using it this time though!nNext day off i'll do some more showing and less telling. People stop jerking me off and buy my parts i can make shit happen faster.
Edit: MLS gaskets for my motor cost $350 shipped. No reach around included. Graphite with copper spray it is!
-
$350 for some hg :-X
-
The fuck i wouldn't either.....
You're either rich or are trying to daily drive an 800-900whp engine like an asshole everywhere you go.
-
So i tore this cunt apart today..... Still didn't pinpoint the actual problem but got a good look at just about everything. No metal shavings, light pitting on piston 3. Ringlands all good. Rings good. Pistons slap like fuck. Some weird wear patterns on the bearings but no shavings so whatever. Lets reuse all that shit.
Anyway, less bullshit and onto the pictures and half asleep/inebriated video commentary towards the end.

Clutch looked really good. Some glazing from learning how to not stall (60 second learning curve over stock clutch) probably.

You can also only go so high on the lift with the cams due to them sliding into the cylinder head instead of bolting down with caps. It's alright. With 270's i think power falls off close to 7k and that's on stock ports with no mention of which intake verbatim from some shit i heard someone say somewhere. These are NOT rev happy motors. Get something else or spend $3000 extra if you want to rev higher than 7k with more than a half inch of lift. Who needs that much lift?

Filthy but wiped clean without issue. Bores were ok. No cracks in the water jacket. It rained and filled that cylinder with water while the motor was sitting on a tire in a driveway under a holy tarp with the plugs removed. Dont be alarmed.

Head gaskets are FINE. Middle finger pointing between 5 and 3. My suspect blowout. Was disappointed yet happy at the same time. I can PROBABLY get away with re-using them too! Lol. Heads came clean off the block as expected.

Here's the area where i found pitting/signs of det on cylinder 3. Camera didn't pick it up. I pulled all six slugs since 3 and 5 were low on compression according to the dry comp test.
All bearings look like this. Crank looks fine.

As i figured, we'll do the copper headgasket spray on new head gaskets. I'll replace the cam seals again and the front main again even though they might not need it.
My last turbo was fucked up when i got it. My new turbo has a little bit of end play. I was hoping i could get by with idle and light revs but nope. Will just rebuild it. No big deal.
Clawing your way through a brick wall is HARD.
-
fuck, this car is just fighting? i would say dont give up, but sounds like a bitch.
-
I'd have no respect for myself or the people that pushed me to get this shit done if i just gave up.
Car is cursed. Good thing i'm like "fuck curses, you're my bitch now."
-
HG are part of the reason you have low comp, slap a n/a header and rip that bitch to seat the rings.
-
Explain about the HG's.
N/A? Bahahahahaha. Filter sammich plate or i'll be drilling and tapping the oil filter pedestal. Boost or GET THE FUCK OUT needs to be the law on this forum. Period. For seat time and driving purposes i would agree with you but i built this thing for boost. I'm tired of having underpowered boring ass cars.

My voltage readings/lambda the megasquirt gives out on it's gauge is all over the place and reads richer than the motor actually is so when autotuning the ve table leans

Also, rage quitting would be inherently STUPID given everything is set up around this motor already.
Finish it then move on. Not before. I'll be buying rb20 parts here and there anyway for another project. One was SUPPOSED to go into my rx7 but i got talked into this shit instead. Lol.
LC1 wideband. Bosch 5 wire sensor.
I put the short block back together after work. Yesterday. Just reused the bearings. Couldn't re-use the headgasket. I was wiping them clean and pulled the metal away from the graphite on the block. I'll try to have the heads back on friday (PAYDAY) hopefully. Depending on how much i made i might just get that sammich plate and a rebuild kit for the not so ching chong spinneroonie thingy. Happy?

I've had my sights on an 80's/early 90's nissan pickup to daily for a while now. I'd much rather slap an rb20 in one of those than my car. 11 psi STOCK turbo rb20 spins 1,2,3 from a dig. Good enough for a daily driver. =D Seriously, i need something like that in my life. Right now i'm ready to go drifting.
Rundown for shit car:
Head gaskets
Cam seals (maybe....)
Fluids
Oil feed source. Either drill/tap or sandwich plate. I dont care which. I'll flip a coin.
Eye bolts for seat harnesses.
Finish wiring up the wiper motor correctly
Get shit to finish water sprayer for heat exhangers..... Need more washer nozzles. COuld always go get some ricer ones for like $5 at walmart or something.
-
Coil flip not needed. Center most port is filtered oil. Other port is unfiltered.....i think. Sweet.
One less thing to worry about.

Didn't want to sit around bored on my day off constantly peeking out the window looking for a fed ex truck so i built something to kill deer and other small animals with. Filling it with concrete when i have time. =D Fits nice and close to the bumper. I have to trim it, cap it, finish welding. it doesn't unbolt. Straight welded to the chassis. I'm stuck running the stock bumper which is fine by me. Looks good imo.

Like i said, needs some finishing up. For sure will add elbow gussets and at least a pair of triangular ties to keep it from shifting or breaking during lovey rubbings.

Totally tubular!

Why didn't you make it bolt in?

This reminds me MadMax :noel:

That was part of the gig. "If Mel Gibson made a drift car...."
Why didn't you make it bolt in?
Because the stock bumper support and hardware wasn't included and nobody near me has. I would have welded the tube structure to the parts that slide into the frame rails after plating them. Then direct bolt-in using oem with my shit.
Verdict was "fuck it, weld it to the frame and take more time setting your load leveler up correctly for engine moves....."
It's only tacked. If i welded it firm as is it would probably not serve its intended purpose if i hit something.
-
Looks good!
-
Its coming along!

Just ready to get the motorset back together tomorrow. If i have time to get/rig some fittings up i'll do that also so i can pre test cranking with the engine on the ground to make sure oil is going to the right places this time. ::)
I MIGHT have enough wire on all my used mig spools to finish up the tubing. I doubt it but we'll see. Have all my s13, ms/stand alone related vg30 crap for sale on that "pay for shipping and my next case of beer" price and STILL have all those parts a month later. People will buy the shit out of injectors pushing 450cc and up though. 1st world problems: the road to dirty 3rds, possibly 4ths.
Edit: 10/30
longblock is back together aside from the intake mani, oil pan, accessories and turbo bits. Due to being broke i'll just leave the turbo on. End play isn't hitting housings. I'll rebuild it when i can. If it shits apart i'll just squeeze in some O.T. at work doing everyones dishes for em so they can be lazy and go home early. :) I'll buy another .57 from the same store because those nogs are rad.
-
I've had my sights on an 80's/early 90's nissan pickup to daily for a while now. I'd much rather slap an rb20 in one of those than my car. 11 psi STOCK turbo rb20 spins 1,2,3 from a dig. Good enough for a daily driver. =D Seriously, i need something like that in my life. Right now i'm ready to go drifting.
You need something SIMPLE that runs, lol. Hate to say it, but a junkyard 4.8l or 5.3l would have been a much better choice.
-
The thing is these engines are VERY simple. THe varations between models and lack of interest is why i have a hard time finding answers to difficult questions.
Oil pressure sending unit port became mysteriously unclogged about 5 minutes ago. Was stuck with a few questionable mods to get a fitting on my filter housing and figured i'd try compressed air ONE more time. It worked.
Game on.
-
Drove it around a bunch today. Maybe 45 mins of driving. I have a sync loss issue during datalogging so didn't change the tune. This is after software update version 2.5. 2.0 didn't do this.
No pull videos because i had to watch my laptop and the road at the same time but it's not quite dirty 3rds. I could stand to add a little bit more fuel It's pretty lean under wot out of boost. and i'm thinking the entire intake system is adding to whatever i didn't do tuning-wise acting as a big restriction until that turbo gets up to speed.
This happened AFTER i hit my head on the roof, lost sync during a log again and just figured parking it so we both can live to fight another day was the best plan.

This is the plan if my turbo ends up creeping higher than i'm able to tune for. Cracked way the hell open i was hitting 12.9 psi (where i set it) boost cut. it'll still climb in rpm but slowly because 10* of timing gets pulled.

JD, check the date. That's not my work. I have a guy down towards the beach who's gonna hook some shit up when i bring the car down there for more tuning. If i dont have a wastegate by then i'm sure he can hook me up with a used one for a good price. Very legit dude.

No sir. I'll get on that when i can. It's on the ground in my driveway still tacked up. The way i was driving i SHOULD have had it welded up and installed. Lol. I tacked it on the car with my shit bumper on. Fits nice and tight. I know after it's fully welded my fenders and shit wont rattle around as much. 2 zip ties and 3 bolts per side is all that's keeping em on the car.....
Edit: bumper is in place. Nothing from the outside but here's a backside view. It fits super tight just like intended. Next go will be with summit ordered .120" wall dom tubing and i'll do all the pipes up on a manual bender. It's a matter of dough to buy tools. Trust me, i want them but if they dont pay for themselves it's not in the cards so i'll need side work lined up first!

Black friday update: Drove her again. Hood off pulling up to the gas station people staring and shit. I adjusted my wastegate a LITTLE, burnt the fuck out of my fingers accidentally touching the turbine after doing maybe 5-6 pulls around the hood warming it up. She was at a healthy 177* coolant temp with fan on with that puny ass radiator. Now she makes 5psi at about 3500rpm. Slowly cranking the wastegate until i'm making boost lower and lower in revs.
It draws so much vac, check what happens to my volvo couplers. Fuck these things. Replacing them asap!

Buddy of mine was like "interesting isn't the word i'd be using to describe that" verbatim. I dont take this car seriously. Nobody does and nobody should. it's all in good fun. I love driving her. Few warm up runs. It's terrible quality. Hate on my prepaid phone and me not being man enough to steer with my knee while i shift. She doesn't torque steer. Just sweatpants on woodgrain aint safe.

I haven't even had the thing on the road daily for a week and local pd told me to keep it on the track or my ass is losing my car, my license and i'm going to jail......
Anyone on MS1X got a decel/accel screen shot i can kinda use as a starting point? Throttle response is good but i boost harder in third, fourth and fifth than i do in 1st/2nd..... I had this fucker sideways in fourth gear. I was just upshiftting after a first gear burnout into a corner and when it stepped out in fourth i was shocked. 5 psi peaking 8 average. Fucking stump puller. I love this goddamned car. VIVA LA VG30ET!!!!!! 10-15 psi is gonna be an animal. Can't wait to get to the dyno for tuning. When i get a fuel level gauge, extended front lca and a rebuild on this turbo (puking oil into intercooler because shaft play fail on clogged feed port) it's going dooooownnnnnnnnnn! PORN CELEBRATION!

Word.
Broke front studs in the parking lot at work and had to leave it there for a week. Fixed it, lug nuts on spacers were backing out.... Good times. Did 4 out of 12. Still got 3 more corners left to replace the old studs on. Removing them aint shit. PUtting new ones in is a pain in the ass
Ordered a netami boost gauge and equus 0-80 ohm fuel level gauge last night.
coolant system would do fucking splendid with a surge tank on it to pull all the air out of the system. I'm really tired of doing it.
not much else been going on. Boost is the same as it was because i lost a week due to the car sitting 17 miles away with me unable to work on it.
-
Hose clamp on my compressor housing wore a nice hole in my radiator.
I went to a u pull today thinking a maxima one wouldn't be hard to clearance as well as shorten up the coolant piping. Nay. Too wide.
I have to return it before work tomorrow for "store credit" then keep harassing them til either a stock 240sx shows up or an rx7 shows up. FC radiator would work perfect and i know they cool really well. Also have angled inlets/outlets for slant mount so i can move it away from turbo heat. After enough burping my temps stopped getting up there. Water from old radiator was brown from all the scaling/rust that had been free'd up from the block jackets during heat cycles and cavitation. Probably didn't help.
Lazy with the pictures. I kno dis. Boost and fuel level gauges showed up. I paid maybe $37 for both of them together which wasn't bad considering i need a few extra things to install them.
-
Ok, well solutions. I'm off this weekend and should be back driving then. Long list of shit to do. Pulling all 4 wheels and greasing up the studs is a must. I had plans to handle that, install my new gauges and proper harness install but again, radiator.
I re-fabbed my upper and lower water pipes into one piece. Only 8 clamps to worry about. intercooler pipe parts didn't get so lucky because i cannot weld aluminum. 3 piece hot pipe, 3 piece cold pipe. Recirc/blow off has been relocated to the cold pipe and i have to leave that bitch on for a few 100 more miles. Enough talk, picture time.

Radiator was moved forward several inches. The lower bracket isn't there. Waiting to order an rx7 aluminum (yes, still) before i tie the tension rods together with a bar and add the brackets to it for the radiator. Makes sense.

New upper water neck. It is aluminized steel. This shit is less than ideal but if i need this stuff fabbed in aluminum whoever does it can go off my original bends. I like stuff where it is at this point.

New hot pipe. BOV is next to the frame rail on that first bend that comes off the intercooler. Trust me, i wanted this tube patch welded and fuck a bov but extending the life of this turbo is a must for a couple more months....

Pre-paint mockup of the new hot pipe. NOt too long. Maybe 2.5'. I wanted to put the intercooler between the turbo and radiator parallel to the ground buuuuut i was worried about having to cut the hood. I'm open tub so this angled front mount setup should work ok if i bleed it and duct it well.
Not much else going on at the moment. Easy shit. Just taking forever because my work schedule isn't as convenient as my last job was.
-
So some things have happened since my last post....
Radiator fill cap ended up being lower than the motor. Needed my car asap and couldn't do the whole surge tank thing just yet so i removed the oem coolant temp gauge sending unit, tapped the hole to npt and put a ball valve and 90* elbow up in there.

Ghetto bleeder works great. Temps stayed 2* cooler than they did with the old oem 240 radiator cruising. 175*. Bout 180-190* creeping around town with the single 10" e fan on....
Then i got complacent after just one week back in the saddle.

Got a tow home from work two days later. Belt broke backing out of a spot doing like 8mph
When i started tearing into the car i found this......
(https://realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1236.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fff457%2Fpotatoesbarnaby%2FIMG_20140120_160514_zps0aa707d2.jpg&hash=affc3675055e8f6b2e15fdc21380dfe74f460266) (http://s1236.photobucket.com/user/potatoesbarnaby/media/IMG_20140120_160514_zps0aa707d2.jpg.html)
Heatshield tab on the mani was milling the crank pulley. To be fair i did turn my decel fueling time to 2 seconds before it starts decaying. That means timing is retarded but i'm still shooting fuel to the engine til that timer reaches zero and starts pulling fuel. In and out of boost was near instant though. Great throttle response. Immense manifold heat, enough to warp it. It was fine before i fucked with my tune for the sake of "lets have some fun".
And now here it sits til the weekend or friday if it's nice and i'm not dogshit tired after work. All i gotta do is pull the covers and the rockers off and can free the heads to get a damage report. I have Z cams, not truck cams so chances are good i have to do some piston sanding and order or junkyard liberate some valves......

Ordered the stuff needed to get it back running last night.
Death toll:
2 intake valves
exhaust manifold (re-doing it. Got flanges to make it 3pc, still gay ass log manifolds tho. I'll explain why they are homosex in a little bit either that or it's my injector grouping)
Timing belt
That's it. Head gaskets had to get ordered obviously so i went ahead and got the whole top end set. New valve stem seals because i can, new exhaust manifold gaskets, all that fun shit. I got a garmin gps that's going to get integrated into the cluster i'm building. I can't afford racepack or stack shit so making do. Fo sho want the megaviewer one day but first thing is first. This car has to stop breaking so i can save money for parts i really, really want or need. Onto pics.
Now i have a flashlight shining on the back of cylinder 5's intake valve. The gap you see is roughly 1.5mm. Cylinder 6 had a 2mm gap. I'm going to scotch bright my pistons when i feel like it to check those to see if they need sanding down/deburring but from what i can see things look fine.

Next up we have the exhaust valves. The front 4 cylinders have this shit going on. Explain this to me. I'm thinking it's an issue with the rear cylinders having the longest exhaust path and the front ones having a shorter path but the pulses anal sexing eachother is causing all this ugly shit on the back side of the exhaust valves.

I guess that's all for now.

Not to bad looks like it keeps getting better

Thanks.
If i dont brace the turbo this go around, ban me.

Mostly together....well mocked up. Clamps and gaskets are missing here and there. Engine is complete aside from torquing the harmonic balancer and 2 bolts in the alternator bracket... Think i got the belt tension right this go around. Had it right the first time. Fucked it up last time i tore the motor down due to oiling issue.... Full retard. Never go there.

I got a pig nose bumper for this. Another on the way. Hopefully a lip to follow. As much as i need to go aftermarket front bumper (for room/proper dom tube crash bar) i can't at the moment. Dont have the puzzle pieces nor funds...

Gonna figure out how to mount this. inlet/outlet are in line with my frame rails and strut frame tubes so that's a problem. Might hang onto it for another project. Current fmic works fine, even configured like this....

I have exhaust wrap that's not frayed/fagile i can use in some spots but not the funds to buy two rolls and heat foil to keep things calm, cool and collective.
Not sure what is going to happen. Probably lots of fun before it breaks again....

The white shit looks like burning deposits. I've only seen that in engines that burn massive amounts of oil or suck & burn coolant.
-
Block/heads are sealed up fine. I do leak oil but it's not into the heads...might have been. I think those heads i didn't repleace the valve stem seals on. After i rebuilt the top end with no retune it was so much better. Faster. I'm a conservative 11.5 afr at full boost THe timing i'm running seemed ok for 12.5 but i bumped the reg and ve a little until i can build a real knock sensor/listener.
STill a hiccup around 2400-2500 i'm trying to fix with more timing/less fuel/whatevers. Haven't been bringing my laptop with me the past few days to actually fix it...
Sometimes when it's stupid cold out it smokes like hell from the downpipe but it's a white smoke, doesn't smell like anything but exhaust. Turbo doesn't leak. Oil pressure gauge works. At first start up i'm seeing 60 psi, cruising something like 45-50. I dont look at shit but the road and GLANCE at wideband during wot....which still feels a bit slow. First gear sucks ass. Sometimes it's on point. Sometimes it wants to sputter and takes more rpm to hit boost. 2nd boosts well. 3rd is amazing. 4th is ok. 5th is good for highway driving. I never need to downshift to pass unless someone tries me thinking my ugly ass car is na-ka24de still. Damn sure aint an sr. They are quick but the sound and response just isn't there on larger turbos. VG30 double penetrates the sr so deep the ca18 can feel it. The power is usually there when i need it in the tuning i've done thus far. Just need to work on the off boost timing and ve a little. She can stand to be leaner/more aggressive from what friends are telling me that mess with these engines.
Downpipe, turbo and manifold is now carbon black inside. Not white anymore. Not sure what was wrong before but i think it's been fixed. I hope anyway..... I lost my cell phone (then ran out of gas after a pull in boost the same evening pissed off because i couldn't find my phone) so updates will be whenever i guess. Still nothing worth posting about other than i am driving it and loving it. Full boost (10 psi, bumping it soon) at 3300 rpm is fucking beautiful. Lag? Lol. What lag?
-
Good to hear. Keep ironing it out and it will be beaster!
-
Tuning is hard..... My laptop shit the bed yesterday and was fucking off the day before but i'm on it now.
Mostly i'm concerned about my front wheel bearings, getting an alignment, suspension, suspension, suspension. I cant run the camber curve i like for obvious reasons. Camber and caster has an effect on how my car tracks through a corner steering left to go right or vice versa. CUrrently i'm set up for DD/GRIP/DONT DIE and i can't hit boost in the rain even in 5th or the car steps out.... Horseshit.
-
Any more updates?
-
Well.....
Made 20 psi after running a stupid tiny plug gap (.18" or something like that, i forget) maxing out the map sensor, added timing but still stayed conservative on the afr's, added wd21 intake manifold....dipshit friend wrecked it. I fixed it. Lost motivation. Car has been through 4 owners since myself. 2 of which were stupid as fuck and bothered me on facebook til i blocked them then got butthurt and told locals i'm "mean" and an "asshole" (which is true). Then a welder/tuner got ahold of it and made it great again and recently sold it. So it's running around midstate NC somewhere......
Currently renting a vq35de powered s14 240sx from a friend. The engine and trans goes to him, i'm buying the shell to put whatever in i guess.... God bless him. I'd be walking to work otherwise.... Currently i have his ms1 v2.2 in my care. I'm going to fit it for a single cam ka in his hardbody pickup. As soon as the car below runs the engine comes out of the s14 to go into the truck.
Current car is a 1998 Lexus GS300. 2jz is headless at the moment. I got douped again with a shitbox car. Interior is in pretty good shape. Needs exterior work. Fenders, hood, windshield. Coilovers were fucked up front but D2 does sell replacement parts and 326power sells springs in the rates i need for the driving i do. I pulled the abs pump in favor of a manual booster. Diff will get welded when i have time. Trying to do it on a budget but still have it be cool/reliable. Street car. Full interior. Look nice. Make spool and flutter noise. Luxury. Cigars. Hookers. Cocaine. All that good shit.
Meh....that's about it.
-
Nice!! Excited to see the lex
-
I'll do a photodump soon. Finally got a new phone.
Um, i took the 2jz and cleaned it up to really dive into how bad it is a couple weeks back. The cylinder head is indeed warped. My .015" feeler is tight on the ends, hotdog down a hallway in the middle. Bores are scuffed and glazed pretty rough too. This thing was abused, probably slack oil changes.... Sad really. Poor 2j. Tearing it down to shelf up for later. Maybe i'll come across a 1st gen 2jzge motor. You know? The ones with the distributor and none of the vtec so i can actually tune the thing on a cheaper ms2. I was mad too considering guy who helped build my buds 5.3-t s13 was selling a manifold and t70 for a super low low low price.
Last weekend, buddy who owns said 5.3t s13 got his car back from the shop. Told me they test drove a cam/tune/BW s471 or whatever catfish camaro on low boost (14psi) and it picks the front wheels up off the ground hard. I said "fuck this shit" and we drove to BFE to pick up a mostly complete and running 5.3 engine for the lexus. I need some more parts to make it whole (throttle body, some brackets, starter, belts, fuel rail crossover, etc) but for $300 i'm not going to bitch. The rest i can probably get for next to free at a U-pull. Power per dollar plus stupid fucking reliable. i cannot beat the GM v8. Period. I will have working AC and power steering as well.

problems with stock motor? just drop a small block in it :o ::) lol
seriously tho, im in. post pics!!!
just thinking, buddy picked up a GS400. told him to throw his procharger on it, blow it up so we can put a 6.0 in it and have fun lol. he will probably do neither. :'(

The 1uz is actually a quite capable motor. few bellhousing adapter kits available now then again the boost logic trans is only $2300 shipped and many claim it's good for 9 second full weight supras.
Plenty pushing 700+rwhp out there.

Not much done. Got the 2j and auto gearbox out. Looking for a th400 or th350 now. We think that's our best bet at doing this on a budget and making the car do a little bit of everything. Will suck at at 3150rpm 55mph cruise but if that's the worst of it, oh well. Mainly i want to be able to manually shift it without breaking shit downshifting or using engine braking. Been reading the reverse manual valve body doesn't like to be downshifted but forward manual valve body can take all the fuckery you can throw at it if you keep the heat down. some of y'all would know a hell of a lot more than me when it comes to gm autos. PM me if you feel like dropping free wisdom. Drag, dd, drift, twisty backroads. I wanna be able to do all of those things with a smile. th350/400 is about as much as my budget allows.
I've been out the photo posting forum shit for some time now. BESIDES imageshack and photobucket, what's a good hosting site? Got pics all the way from day 1 to pulling the motor last weekend.

most people say to go with the TH400. really the will probably cost you the same. i found mine for 100bucks. think AJ and Steve paid the same for theres. you probably want to get one from a car and not a truck, as they have a bolt on yoke. but still easy to buy conversion yoke.
here is a basically FREE mod/trans kit setup. dude that posted it is from Jake's transmission. he is pretty good at what he does. http://www.nastyz28.com/forum/showthread.php?t=131600 (http://www.nastyz28.com/forum/showthread.php?t=131600)
couple video series on youtube showing the full teardown and assy of the 400 also. i can dig up links if you would like.
its all pretty easy. and i have never taken an auto trans apart before. and if you do all the stuff outlined in Jakes post it will have a manual 1-2 operation with 3rd being full auto function. so you drop it into 1st or 2nd with your shifter she will rev out till engine parts cover the road. :noel: or you can shift it up to next gear manually ::)
thats what i have done for my TH400 for my Nova.

I paid 100 for mine. Thanks for the link I need to do this!

I paid noting for my th400. It was sitting under the bench at my dad's house for the last 28 years full of fluid. Pulled it out, drained the fluid out of the tails haft and all over my legs and feet(because who really stores a transmission with fluid in it)

i think every engine i have bought with an oil pan bolted to it has had at least 4qt of oil in it...

not dead. ended up getting a new job forging billet brass shit and they work me 6 days a week. pew ban scare also stole all my project car money. ill discusd those toys elsewhere.
anywho last thing i got for this was a front sump trapdoor pan and oil filter relocation kit. been helping my buddy out tubing and grafting irs under a microsquirt powred nissan hardbody.
about the same time the truck showed up here i picked up an eg sedan. the 240 needs an overhaul and i needed a lowkey bone stock gas saver. 240 is going into hiding to get the 350z swap yanked so i can vg30 turbo it with more class than my old shitbox.
lexus will probably ignore everyones advice including my own and run a t5.... still waiting on a cheap front set of 240 coils and a bender so i can make the control arms. ill be back eventually. right now im getting my shtf game up and trying to catch up at work so we dont lose contracts/customers.
cheers fuckers. missed ya. *blows kisses*
