hi mate. the oil pump is nismo n1, the crank has a collar fitted. and all the clearances where checked with plastigauge.. i.e endfloat was checked with feeler gauges, and mains/big ends/oil pump-collar gaps were checked, also its all balanced ..bernie

Edited by rockabilly
i was being sarcastic as thats not an overly accurate way of measuring clearances lol

Furry muff.. is there a better way to measure clearances with everything torque'd down?

Oh and when I decide to take my RB30 passed 400rwhp I reckon I'll get one of your cranks to go with the new rods.. 3.4L FTW :thumbsup:

G`Day all,I would like to know what some of you have done o standard crank`s if it worth spending any time cleaning them up cast mark`s ?,weight loss ???,cheer`s chuckie.

If big capacity is wanted why don't you guys go the the nissan v8s ?

While that would be fun it was too much headache and then turbo'ing it would be a nightmare.. the idea is still floating around in the back of my head so maybe one day :laugh:

Chuckie, all I did to my crank is have it ground for oversize bearings. My engine isn't going to be seeing huge revs or MASSIVE power for quite some time, when I get to that stage I'll re-do the crank aswell as new rods etc (or likely get one of these 3.4L cranks :bunny:)

On that note, these bigger cranks.. will they already have the long oil drive and all the other goodies people do to their cranks (grub screwing etc)?

Well from all the advice I have received (forum users, tuner and mechanic), 400rwhp seems to be an acceptable cap for now. When I decide I want more, engine will come out and get new rods and a balance along with some head/manifold porting.

more interested in what kind of RPM limit it can handle - especially so after a balance and knifeblade.

are the rods more likely to go before the crank at higher revs?

RPM is far more savage on the up & down bits (pistons and rods) than the round & round bits (crank). They have to stop, change direction and accelerate, then stop, change direction and accelerate again etc while the crank simply rotates. I could see the probability of 1,000 bhp out of a standard crank, but 1,000 bhp out of standard rods is not in my wildest dreams, pistons forget about it.

Cheers

SK, I might be misunderstanding, are you saying that if the revs aren't excessive then the rods should be able to handle a lot more than 4-500hp? I have my 30 limited to 6800rpm, reckon I would be able to push more than 400rwhp on the stock rods with that limit?

RIPS have pushed the stock rods and pistons to 750hp on nos a few times for fun, then wind it back down to 600hp for the street...

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
