hey guys, after reading NYTSKY's thread on his engine build i thought i might do one myself its great to get all sorts of feedback and information from fellow builders/enthusiests...
It all started after i put a GT2876 onto my rb20 with a few other goodies, then just before i got it tuned i did a quick compression test... 150 across the board...until i hit number 5, which was 95. put some oil into the cylinder and i then got 195 in cylinder 1... which told me the rings wernt in 100% working order and number 5 valve was leaking. which...from a 18yr old RB20 with 212,000 on it thats never let me down before, i expected the results, just didnt want them.
so i decided to refresh the 20, worked out the costs, and thought it would be cheaper to just put a 25 in there... then got offered a RB25de out of a r32 for $500... then the RB25-30 work started
Here are the Parts iv got/ordered so far.
CP Pistons/Rings
Spool Rods/ ARP Rod bolts
Stainless Steel Valves
Ross Balancer
N1 Oil Pump
Geniun Nissan Headgasket (alot of people are refering back to these for there builds)
Tomie Valve Springs
Head has been preped, ported a fraction.
Tomie Oil Resprictors
Oil Collar
Im getting it balanced from the Balancer right to the Clutch.
Chambers will be CC'd.
Using ACL Race bearings as soon as i know what sizes i need.
i also have a microtech LTX12 with ignitors etc to run it all.
i dont make alot of money so i just been saving and buying the next parts il be needing in the build process, hence why i havnt looked into Fuel Set-up yet or Cam Gears/shafts.
the block goes to the machinests in a day or 2.
any extra info or questions will be greatly appreiciated, whats with this water gallery that doesnt get fully blocked or something?
Cheers
CJ
ps, il add more later thanks for reading
