Thanks for all the replys.

If it is clearance issues why does it change then? Its ONLY when it has been sitting still for a little minutte, it "binds".

Have measured accuratly today with a torque dial gauge. (built in dial gauge), range 0-8N. Its calibrated 2 times a year.

To break the "bind" it need ~6 N.

To rotate it need ~2N, after the "bind" has been broken.

If I start rotate just after stop, I still need ~2N.

If I wait 15 sec, it need ~6N to begin rotation again. (If I wait 5 min. it still is 6N to begin rotation)

There is NO spots were it need more or less N to keep rotation.

Have talked to a engine builder here in Denmark. He says when the crank rotates it draws oil on to the surfaces, 2N friction, when it sits still the oil runs back in the grooves, and crank makes contact with bearing, that is what I need to overcome?

The block is upside down, and havnt tryed doing this when block isnt upside down. Could this have any influance?

Tomorrow I should check for endfloat, and run out on number 4 bearing? What more should I check?

The crankshaft runs on a hydrodynamic wedge of oil which can be squeezed out when the crank sits for a bit and the crank sits against the bearing. Once you turn the crank you pull oil between the crank and the bearing and the crank floats on it. I'd still check the end float, most bearings are made at the maximum thrust flange width which can reduce the thrust clearance anyway. It's quite common to have to sand the thrust face of the bearings to provide the proper end float.

Cheers,

Greg.

Endfloat is: 0.08mm

Run out, measured on number 4 main bearing, is 0.015mm. This is total what the dial show. Souldnt this be cut in half to get correct run out number?

    • I have no hard data to report, but I have to say, having driven it to work and back all week, mostly on wet roads (and therefore mostly not able to contemplate anything too outrageous anywhere)..... it is real good. I turned the boost controller on, with duty cycle set to 10% (which may not be enough to actually increase the boost), and the start boost set to 15 psi. That should keep the gate unpressurised until at least 15 psi. And rolling at 80 in 5th, which is <2k rpm, going to WOT sees the MAP go +ve even before it crosses 2k and it has >5 psi by the time it hits 90 km/h. That's still <<2.5k rpm, so I think it's actually doing really well. Because of all the not-quite-ideal things that have been in place since the turbo first went on, it felt laggy. It's actually not. The response appears to be as good as you could hope for with a highflow.
    • Or just put in a 1JZ, and sell me the NEO head 馃槑
    • Oh, it's been done. You just run a wire out there and back. But they have been known to do coolant temp sensors, MAP sensors, etc. They're not silly (at Regency Park) and know what's what with all the different cars.
    • Please ignore I found the right way of installing it thanks
    • There are advantages, and disadvantages to remapping the factory.   The factory runs billions of different maps, to account for sooooo many variables, especially when you bring in things like constantly variable cams etc. By remapping all those maps appropriately, you can get the car to drive so damn nicely, and very much so like it does from the factory. This means it can utilise a LOT of weird things in the maps, to alter how it drives in situations like cruise on a freeway, and how that will get your fuel economy right down.   I haven't seen an aftermarket ECU that truly has THAT MANY adjustable parameters. EG, the VAG ECUs are somewhere around 2,000 different tables for it to work out what to do at any one point in time. So for a vehicle being daily driven etc, I see this as a great advantage, but it does mean spending a bit more time, and with a tuner who really knows that ECU.   On the flip side, an aftermarket ECU, in something like a weekender, or a proper race car, torque based tuning IMO doesn't make that much sense. In those scenarios you're not out there hunting down stuff like "the best way to minimise fuel usage at minor power so that we can go from 8L/100km to 7.3L/100km. You're more worried about it being ready to make as much freaking power as possible when you step back on the loud pedal as you come out of turn 2, not waiting the extra 100ms for all the cams to adjust etc. So in this scenario, realistically you tune the motor to make power, based on the load. People will then play with things like throttle response, and drive by wire mapping to get it more "driveable".   Funnily enough, I was watching something Finnegans Garage, and he has a huge blown Hemi in a 9 second 1955 Chev that is road registered. To make it more driveable on the road recently, they started testing blocking up the intake with kids footballs, to effectively reduce air flow when they're on the road, and make the throttle less touchy and more driveable. Plus some other weird shit the yankee aftermarket ECUs do. Made me think of Kinks R34...
