HRthirtyone replied to caw's topic in Exterior & Interior Styling

How Long Do You Run Your Turbo Timer For?
HRthirtyone replied to mitchy_'s topic in Engines & Forced Induction
I think some people may be a bit confused - what you dont want is to stop your engine when your exhaust temps are high because it will stop the oil pumping and the oil will burn in your turbo and in turn turn into a sort of sludge and cause problems. Some people have said that its not like you exactly boost your car the whole way to the drive and then quickly turn it off! I would tend to agree... As your getting close to home just drive off boost and let the high airflow vs low rpm cool things down while your still in motion. Then you wont need to idle for long, as exhaust temps off boost are a lot lower, and the water temps are only cooled down with airflow! all the other fluid temps should come down as well with this approach. i have always done this, and when pulling turbos off after a few years, and frequent oil changes, i have never seen the negative effects of not using a turbo timer. there just a gimmick for street cars, and an excuse for another canary. -
thats too cheap!!

Bought an RB20 silvertop from local wrecker, still have receipt (only 2 months ago) -Does not include turbo,coilpacks, alternator, etc. -Came out of a front cut with less than 80,000kms on it -Put the engine in and over revved it, spun a bearing. -Engine comes with new crank, needs block tunnel bored, also new conrod in no.4 cyl. and new main and big end bearings. Compression tested within 3-4psi across all 6 cylinders, ran like a dream, very smooth and quiet. i have lost $$$ on this engine because there was no warranty even after only 2 weeks. asking $750 Located in Adelaide, south. will get pics up later, dont have a camera on me now.

on my new engine, i am runnning a new thicker radiator with standard shroud and engine fan, also front mount and the performance in 30+ degrees is still good. water temps are down, which in turn keeps everything under the bonnet that bit cooler. I would recommend covering the basics i.e. good cooling system and intercooler before setting up some sort of spray system on a daily car. Having said that, you should still keep the boost low on a real hot day on your daily just as a common sense thing.

What Has Gone Wrong With My Rb26?
HRthirtyone replied to NismoR31Jet's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
could be rings or turbos, but if turbos were recently rebuilt, its prolly rings. do a compression test to see if you cracked a piston or something. it may still feel like its got all the power there and runs fine, but still have something really wrong with it. all depends on how much oil your loosing into the pipes. also dont the older rb26 oil pumps tend to give up with lots of high rpm? -
if that guy has it in an r31 then i think i know who it is, i sold him some stuff for his rb30 conversion.. too bad i can find that thread. Cheers anyway

just wondering what exactly doesnt fit.. i have a spare rb20 head and i was thinking about chucking it on an rb30 bottom end, but i could find anything about the combo. everyone seems to be putting the non vct rb25de heads on them.

it is most likely rusted on, you may have to destroy it to get it off. They are cheap to buy new from nissans genuine parts.

Scratched Record. Qs On Cams & Rb20
HRthirtyone replied to Roy's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
ROY i ran HKS 264 with 9mm lift in my old rb20 with std. springs, no valve bouncing on the dyno@! had solid lifters tho. Ran with no problems, stupidly lumpy idle tho, and loud too, not recommended for when your pulled over in a RBT or if u got elderly neighbours with no prozac -
maybe something has happened to the fuel delivery system with the higher pressure from the new pump. Its either that or its a SENSOR, so -as above, could be the oxygen sensor (in dump pipe), -check airflow metre, clean it with non residual contact cleaner/brake cleaner -may need to have your injectors flowed/tested etc, only costs around $100 -check the fuel lines, trace them back under the car, for leakage.

Rebuilt Engine Too Tight For Starter Motor
HRthirtyone replied to HRthirtyone's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
yup exactly right, big end caps were on the wrong way around. duhhhhhhh the cylinder no's are meant to line up on opposite side of oil hole in the conrod..
