Nytsky's Engine Build

[Swiper the Fox]

If you don't mind me asking, how loud was the belt before the failure?

Both Adam at JEM and Dave listened to the belt and it sounded good...it was the bolt that failed. Recently another bolt has failed in an engine in Melbourne. Ive re-engineered the set-up now as 15 year old bolts may have a fair bit of fatigue and may have been the cause....not the belt tension.

[NYTSKY]

Belt was ok.

The idler bearing bolt failed.

[Phobic]

is it worth replacing the idler bearing bolt then in future builds?

ive designed something a little bit better than that...im just waiting to see the final product from suppliers and ill post it up. If it doesnt work im going to use a high tensile cap bolt with a slightly improved thread length.

but yes as a minimum id recommend fitting new genuine bolts with each bearing and belt kit fitted.

did ya chuck a new one in mine??? im keen to see how nytsky's car goes this time round. made good power last time let alone making it better lol

[NYTSKY]

Last time it made 293RWKW at 17psi.

Im hoping it will make 300RWKW at the same boost level, anything over will be a bonus.

After that we will go to 20psi.

good luck with it. hope you get some good results after some rotten luck. looking forward to seeing what you get.

It can only get better after having an engine let go.

But yes cant wait to get behind the wheel of it. Ill have to learn how to drive it again, im getting used to the power of a 1.5L FWD

I am moving to Melbourne soon to take over a well known existing venture down there, ill get serious then.

Please dont tell me 1+1 = what i think it may?

Does anyone have a part number for the bolt? Also Dirtgarage let me know if your design works as I am in the process of building my RB26DETT from an R32 and want this done right, read about some bolts failing in the US and it has me quaking in the boots after buying some new Tomei parts.

Wow its been a long time.

Engine will be picked up on Sat afternoon. Still waiting on some shiny bits to turn up before we can put the engine in though.

Purchased all oils,plugs and filters today.

In the mean time the car has had the new suspension installed. Will be swapping the Bride seat out for something a little more hugging.

And also got around to putting my HID kit in.

I read this whole post last night, started at 2am and fell asleep with the laptop on my stomach. Dave I hope you get to enjoy this weapon for a long time to come once she is back in good health. It sounds like you have the right people involved!
